dear rawzi/ i know the point when my body wants to cheat. that gives me signals that my body doesn't get enough nutrients. i just wonder that why he doesn't eat any raw animal proteins? i hope, he's feeling all right now.
My husband really wanted to eat out at a cooked restaurant with me. I went, we brought back naan. There were two, one garlic, one plain, both large. It's a small family owned restaurant and they make them fresh. He hadn't eaten cooked anything in a long time. He ate most of the plain one, and did not touch the garlic. A friend of ours at an ashram eats just like my son, and recommended homemade chapatis to add to his diet, as he had too to his own recently. After my son's experience with this, the kidney sensitivity has not gone yet, he said he will wait much longer before trying another cooked food again. We were at his doctor's today too. We told the doctor about the bread incident and its result. The doctor said since my son is so sensitive to new things and changes in routine that he just has to be careful.
He is resistant to eating raw animal proteins; because he has gone so long without them and does not want to break his record, waste the time he's done it so far as he puts it. Also because he adores all animals (except not so much most insects), so he finds it almost impossible to wrap his mind around causing any harm to any individual animal.
If I get kidney pain I will go on an orange juice fast or drink avocado leaves tea.
He quit orange juice, as he found it too acidic. I heard that before about avocado tea, that it is strengthening. I will suggest these things to him. How about orange leaf tea?
Since he's eating honey, would he be interested in eating more like John the Baptist (locusts and honey) and eat insects? What about mineral water, greens and berries (especially wild berries and other local, wild fruits)? He's restricted himself so much it will be difficult to avoid deficiencies in the long run and he is at risk for dental problems in the relatively short run (that tends to be one of the early symptoms that those on meat-deficient diets report, along with lethargy, malaise, mental fog, depression, poor sleep quality, morning aches and pains, etc.).
Actually yes, he is interested in eating insects, but has made no moves in that direction. He also had a severe Vitamin D deficiency in his blood while vegan, like none the head of endocrinology ever saw I fear. D deficiency also runs in his father's side of the family. The D deficient family members also limited their diets to maybe four foods or less. The dairy seems to be helping him recover from that. He does eat some organic berries and he was eating organic salad and stopped (but is considering starting again). When I find wild edible plants I bring them to him and he eats them. How do we get sufficient locusts? Have you tried eating them?
