Well, here's something that's quite interesting. We decided to try an experiment with Earth Balance. It had to be Soy Free because my husband is allergic to soy. Before we made this decision, i let him know that the producers of Earth Balance seem to have a sketchy marketing tactic. They are...

Tofu, I read your prior paragraphs on this last quote, and i know/understand exactly what you went through and i am very sorry, you basically got "e-ganged up" for just stating your experience or sharing your knowledge. I'm going to let you in on a little secret. The good news? You didn't...

I think so. I've suffered from anxiety/chronic depression and PTSD (due to working in the medical field for so long). I also had borderline diabetes. I had a hard time making it to the gym every morning. And when i did? I would have that "crash" afterwards and pretty much couldn't do...

Absolutely! It's interesting that i shared this on a UK forum when we were just starting out in our journey. I was quickly admonished by a patient whose mother had a triple bypass that i should "Do as you're told" by my cardiologist. Her mom's EF was only 23% and almost house bound 11 years...

I agree.. I mean seriously.. I get kidded for eating "rabbit-food" (plant based diet).. But my quick comeback is: "How many rabbits do you see getting triple bypass heart surgeries?" :p

Thanks for the responses. I, am in my late 50's and just went through it. Before this, i was a huge fish/chicken/red meat/egg eater, due to my bodybuilding background. Because of my diet, i was having peri-menopausal symptoms, even with supplementation. Bouts of hot-flashes, which weren't...

When i was in Asia, many moons ago, i noticed that most of the poorer or working class ladies did not go through menopause, or when their periods stopped, they had only a few symptoms for a short period of time, and that was it. Many of them were plant based, with little sea food/meat, no...

I use shea butter (mixed with jojoba, sage, canola, lavender, rosemary, and peppermint oil) on my skin, and "seal" it with organic, Extra Virgin Olive Oil or even Canola Oil if i run out of the first one. I used to have pimples all over my body, when i used a lot of Avon Skin So Soft (the...

I've worked with PCOS patients and have found they stop having their periods way before menopausal age due to those pesky androgens or even insulin levels. Those with PCOS that are very athletic, hardly ever had their periods in their later years. They usually learn not be alarmed if they have...

For me, personally, it's not the guy that is doing this, it's the followers. I saw one commenter that agrees with this, and he had 126 "thumbs up" for his statement. From a medical stand point, i used to work in the cardiovascular labs, and also specialized in Ultrasounds of the vascular...

After going plant based, i stopped dairy almost a year ago. I received an invite to a "Vegan Convention" and one of the guests was the CEO of Desert Farms. Being curious to this new world, i decided to see what they were selling. (Living in the Desert Myself, i thought they had a "spin" on...

I'm a huge fan of Dr. Esselstyn. I'm also a fan of many of the pioneers that came after him. I'm kind of torn regarding "oils". Esselstyn states "NO OIL, not even Olive Oil".. and many others as well. But we also have another train of pioneers that are saying "Oil is fine as long as it's...

There's one big "take away" that i've learned from this. Even if the evidence is sitting right there in front of them - cardiologists will protect their pockets. The one in AZ, didn't bother to followup with us, afterwards. Even though they looked like you could have knocked them over with a...

Awww.. Of course it's normal.. We "slipped" for the first time in 7 months, two weeks ago. We were finally seeing a Naturopath for the first time, in another state. My blood sugar went low, and i decided to get a "Rosewater, Pistachio Croissant" at a coffee house we were sitting in.. For the...

(cont'd) Fast forward: We went to another cardiologist for a second opinion in our geographic location. She seconded the first cardiologists opinion. My husband wasn't going to make it in the next 30 days, maybe 60 if he was "Lucky".. I researched night and day. Found the works of Linus...

I'm keeping this summarily, but hoping folks will get the gist of our experience. In February 2018, after an left heart angiogram, my husband was diagnosed with: 1) Myocardial Myopathy 2) Three, 100% obstructed coronary arteries (one was the "Widowmaker") 3) CHF 4)Hypertension 5) Severe...

I'm looking for a decent vegan mac and cheese recipe as well. I decided to cook the "Ultimate Mac and Cheese" one day. There are a lot of recipes on the internet - but i decided to go for the "Ultimate" recipe.. The pics looked great.. And in the comments, i kept seeing the word "yummy"...

I'll second that!!;)

Wow! I'm really surprised and impressed at the responses. I appreciate that people on here not only have an open mind, but open ears. This let's me see there is hope for humanity. Thank you..

Regarding the underlined.. i agree.. I almost chuckled when i realized something that never occurred to me.. Politics and Politicians never influenced my growling stomach when i was having those "miss-meal" cramps.. because when the dust settles? Both sides (Left/Right Wingers) are eating...
