Re: I NEED HELP. I cannot take this anymore. :(

I used to take fish oil when I wasnt a vegetarian...I actually get better results from the blended efa..by blended I mean the balanced mix of 3-6-9. Its good stuff.
I hear what you are saying about meat and I dont think all meat is neccessarily unhealthy or anything. I completely believe it has helped you and Im glad. The thing is, the reason I dont know if it would even help me, is I have had this problem, LONG LONG before being a vegetarian, and it was much much worse then. Not only the Acne {as obviously there could be other factors involved, Im not saying it was the meat causing it or anything}..but what you said about iron deficiency. One thing I can say for sure is I KNOW I am not anemic because thats like the one thing Ive been tested for. Which is funny because Im so damn pale looking and really LOOK anemic, but they said my iron levels were fine. When I ate red meat I was just as pale..hmm its odd. The reason I feel like Im gonna pass out though, from my period is just that the pain is so terrible.

Also I take a zinc supplement. I know its better to get it from food, but..you know.

I just wish I could explain that eating meat is really not an option for me...it would CRUSH me spiritually. Its extremely important to me spiritually to never eat it..and my beliefs are a huge part of who I am. I dont judge those who eat it..but..well eating it would cause me so much mental and spiritual distress Im sure the stress of that would be just as bad as whatever possible repurcussions there were from NOT eating it..you know what I mean? I know its not like that for most people but Im VERY sensitive about animals and life and what I stand for..I would hate myself for the rest of time if I allowed animals to die like that for me. Also, I consider meat industry meat to be really terrible for people, and there are no places you can get "organic" or "free range" meat around here {not that that makes it any better, the animal still had to die a terrible death and Im not ok with that in any circumstances besides maybe starvation and having to hunt in the wild}.

I dont think not eating meat is the cause of my Acne in itself..but it very well could be something I was eating MORE of because I was not eating meat..dairy/beans/grains etc..I havent noticed a problem from beans though..and your post confuses me because everything Ive read says that the anti nutrients in beans are broken down during the cooking process and that cooking "pre-digests" them sort of..Ive read that a few different places so its confusing.

I have a question for you though..why do you think your liver was about to shut down from flushing? So many people have had such wonderful results from flushing..how often were you doing it? What kind of flush were you doing? Do you think you did something wrong or do you think your liver was just too stressed in the first place to handle it? There must be a reason for it..because I want to continue flushing no matter what.. Acne aside..I want to take good care of my liver and gallbladder.

Thank you for your post! Im already starting to work on the candida issue and leaky gut stuff, and Im gonna read more about that diet you posted and see if maybe I could eat some of the foods it allows minus the meat or something. Tweet
