Thanks for your good info.  It and the information in Chris's post are valuable input.

If someone who was not a vegetarian had asked me the same questions, I would have recommended increasing the intake of raw fruits and veggies along with the enzymes and the plant derived minerals, etc., and cutting back on meat and dairy if need be to small amounts.  But I would never recommend that anyone go strictly vegetarian for any length of time.  Even some of the most healthy appearing vegetarians have time bombs inside from lengthy deficiencies, and far too often a problem manifests itself out of nowhere or a sudden downward decline sets in. I understand why my pal Jon says it is personal choice - it is a politically correct thing to do and it CAN be done - but it is frought with risk, often not done correctly and virtually impossible without supplementation.

There is a website run by former vegetarians who date back to the 60's called Beyond Vegetarianism that details all of the struggles, disappointments, health problems and some benefits of being strictly vegetarian.  I am sure that most of us know some very healthy vegetarians, or at least ones who "appear' to be very healthy.  Vegetarians in general tend to be more health conscious - they exercise, watch their weight, etc.  Meat eaters lumps together most of the couch potatoes who fill up on sweets, pops, junk food, fast foods. MW dinners and processed foods, so of course you will see a number of healthy "looking" vegetarians and a great many meat eaters who are a "mess".

However, as Jon Barron would tell you if he were in a private conversation, being a vegetarian is indeed a matter of choice and most often it is a bad choice. Instead of offending beliefs and sensibilities,  he advises ways for vegetarians to make sure they get proper nutrition. He believes that the healthiest diet (and the way healthiest and longest lived  people in the world eat), is one that includes small amounts of meat and large amounts of fresh vegetables and fruit.  Which is Jon's own diet.

I like the green drink super-foods a lot too - though the ones I am able to find most easily, Odwalla and Bolthouse Farms, contain a bit more fructose than I would like.

And I should add that yes, I too believe she is to be commended on doing a lot of good things for her health.  Something is missing or awry though and this is a good place to be to find out what it is.  Finding ways to better assimilate AND adding what may be missing would seem to me to be a good start.  The rapid aging should be stoppable and reversible and hopefully we can all help her do just that.
