Warning to vegans: Diet of meat, eggs and milk is healthier than plant-based foods,

[UnbornTao]

Apart from scientific evidence and nutritional value, what you eat is ultimately a matter of opinion (preference). There's no ideal diet and consciousness is a different matter. You might be conflating enlightenment with a fantasy; enlightened or not, you can eat animals. Whether or not to eat animal products is a matter of personal choice, regardless of the purported benefits -- and likely a few drawbacks -- it has on your physiology, the ecology, etc.

What were they saying?

I just felt a state of confusion and sadness, and their divinity and consciousness that are like mine, so I was trying to comfort them and gave them thanks.. it's not with words or anything like that but thanks for asking. idk if it's because of them being crabs or what but they felt like highly conscious beings. and I think I was more bothered overall by how they were killed too and how my mom was very out of touch with this and even "happy" that it was a live crab before she cooked them... anyway not guilting am just sharing.

Also Chemo ages every cell in the body. His life specifically brain function will never be the same and the result of the DNA damage will slowly show up in the next 10 years. 

The only person I saw with terminal cancer who said he was on alternative treatment died barely three months after his diagnosis. 

In the meantime my uncle is ok and has gone back to work

I dont disagree. Im pointing to other parts of the picture. Nothing about what i said is advocation for alternative treatments. The average person only realizes chemo comes with major long term complications after they survive the treatment. That does not mean they shouldn't do chemo, what I'm saying is surviving cancer is not a fairy tail.

You suggested that the benefits of chemotherapy are due to the young. I contradicted

Both the keto types and the vegans are unnecessarily extreme. Going zero carb and eating nothing but meat is just as silly as eating nothing but fruits and vegetables. It won't hurt you to have both, unless you're doing it for ethical reasons.  The main dietary problem is refined carbohydrates, namely chips (including so called healthy crackers loaded with MSG like Triscuits), pop tarts, cereal, donuts, ice cream, regular soda, french fries, fried chicken, pizza, and mostly because they're addicting and make people put on weight.

Too much fructose and alcohol can lead to metabolic syndrome and a fatty liver also, especially with a choline/betaine deficiency... so if you eat gluten free (wheat is the main source of betaine in the diet) and no eggs (egg yolks are the main source of dietary choline), with a caloric excess you will quickly build up liver fat, subjecting yourself to metabolic syndrome and prediabetes.
