We can't believe how many of how vegan friends have fallen for this. But there are a lot of awake vegans that we also know.

it goes beyond me that vegetarians and vegans let themselves be injected with human and animals cells, but do not eat meat. At least the meat that you eat goes through the normal canals, whereas the jabs are injected in tissues where they do not belong at all

Why do vegans make a big deal out of "being" a vegan? Especially when they look so unhealthy. Current example: Sam Bankman-Fried. The monotonous droning of virtue signaling.

I have no idea why they make a big deal of it. I don't. Have been eating a plant-based diet for 51+ years and frankly, I don't get involved in what others do. The reason some vegans are unhealthy is because they are eating crap food, like fake meat, such as Bill Gates' poisonous "Beyond Meat' made chemically using more energy than it takes to raise a cow. If you don't eat meat, why would you want to eat something that mimics the look/taste of meat? And sugary foods are unhealthy on any kind of diet. Pretty simple: eat natural, unprocessed foods for optimum health.

Vegans are either really healthy or really unhealthy, depending on whether they've done their research about what nutrients to supplement and such. I think a pescatarian diet is healthier provided you eat chlorella every time you eat fish to prevent mercury accumulation. Vegans can still get mercury poisoning from eating a lot of hemp grown in contaminated soils. I learned that the hard way recently, after buying a pound of hemp protein powder last month. Shame it's so toxic, it was really effective at putting me to sleep.

That's unfortunate about hemp--I hadn't heard that. Spirulina is pretty dubious, too, as much of it comes from China and you know their waters are sparkling clean..... Andrew Weil warned of neurological problems with its use. Plenty of unhealthy vegans around, like the grossly pasty looking Sam Friedman.

Spirulina and chlorella at least keep the toxins trapped enough that it would be a net loss from your system if you eat it when your toxin levels are high. I think my mercury levels are going down, as I haven't had any palpitation episodes like I had a couple of weeks ago. Neurological problems are probably caused by the high manganese content. Hemp also has a high manganese content but I looked up some info and the amount I was eating shouldn't have been toxic. If you keep down to under 10 g of chlorella and spirulina it should be ok.

Thanks for the info. I still do use them both, but as you say, sparingly is probably ok. 25 years ago, I was using much more in my smoothies. Never noticed a problem with it, but it also wasn't every day.

I got mercury poisoning also from eating 2-3 cans of herring every day. I was using it as a phosphatidylserine supplement. Herring is not super high in mercury but still that's an awful lot to eat every day.

Zinc immediately resolves the worst of mercury poisoning symptoms. It gave me a cooling feeling in my spine like what I imagine taking a Xanax feels like.

Wow; zinc itself to be taken sparingly as well; hey, just eat more cabbage. From WebMD: "The body can make phosphatidylserine, but most of what it needs comes from foods. It can also be taken as a supplement. These supplements were once made from cow brain. Now they are commonly made from cabbage or soy."

The zinc/copper ratio is what's most important. There are very few if any plant-based foods that have the correct ratio. As a lot of foods that I like are higher in copper than zinc (chocolate, shrimp, shiitake mushrooms to name a few) I'm not too worried about it. Still I feel this weird tic if I take too much zinc, where I feel that there's something moving in the corner of my eye when there isn't and it's accompanied by a nerve pain... though that could just have been the mycotoxins from my moldy room.

I would have to eat a hell of a lot of cabbage to get enough. I find cabbage to be more tolerable than other Brassica cultivars but still that's a lot of kimchi and it has so few calories otherwise and I'm skinny so I need to spend my money on stuff with calories in it. I want to try intermittent fasting for health benefits but I may need to gain weight first.

This is a good piece to read about how cattle should be raised. https://www.chelseagreen.com/2022/why-regenerative-grazing-is-so-important/
