@@rik80280 delineate away, I will be interviewing him in a couple of months. I can dig real deep into anything valid you can suggest. Really, it's pretty simple, a variety of legumes, greens, grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices. Just like for adults, make sure you're getting enough zinc and iodine maybe and fatty acids. No matter how you raise your kids, you're going to want to make sure you're covering all your bases. And if eating whole Vegan foods are most protective against chronic disease and all cause mortality, inappropriate for every stage of life including pregnancy, there really isn't much beyond individualized nuance that a person only to discern for themselves. And that's likely going to be between them and their physician, nutritionist, or dietitian.
This might be the most I've ever liked listening to Fuhrman, which is a compliment to you @VeganLinked ! I've always gotten the sense from him that he likes to make the diet sound complicated in order to legitimize his own authority, so that people will buy his books and supplements. In your next interview, I would ask that you press him on the details of the studies he mentioned that support his recommendation of supplements for adherents to the nutritarian diet.
@@VeganLinkedcould you also ask him about chronic illness such as M.E./CFS? Great interview, feel inspired to keep going and try harder. Have been wholefood plant-based vegan at least 6 years after having been WF vegetarian more than 40, but had this illness over 3 decades and although managing other conditions better on a healthy vegan diet, it hasn't done anything for the chronic underlying condition developed post a severe viral infection all those years ago. Would like to hear his thoughts, if he's worked with that kind of condition?
@@annesuess2272 I'll see what I can do, if I can ask him about that specifically that is. You might be able to reach him actually through his website in some way shape or another. You may even want to consult with Dr Goldhamer of True North, you can get a free phone consultation with him to see if you're a good fit. Here's what I found looking at chat GPT for what it's worth:
@@annesuess2272 There is no definitive cure for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), but some dietary and lifestyle changes can help manage symptoms. Individual responses vary, but here are a few strategies that have shown potential in symptom relief or management: Dietary Approaches: 1. Anti-inflammatory Diet: Some research suggests that chronic inflammation may play a role in ME/CFS. An anti-inflammatory diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and healthy fats (like omega-3s) may help. Foods to emphasize: Leafy greens (kale, spinach) Berries (blueberries, strawberries) Fatty fish (if not vegan, like salmon, otherwise algae-based omega-3 supplements) Nuts and seeds (flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts) 2. Low FODMAP or Elimination Diet: Some individuals with ME/CFS have reported improvements in digestive symptoms by following a low FODMAP or elimination diet. These diets help identify food sensitivities that may be contributing to fatigue, bloating, or discomfort. 3. Plant-Based Diet: Vegan diets, when rich in whole foods and nutrient-dense options, may help some people by reducing inflammation and providing antioxidants. It’s crucial to ensure adequate intake of protein, B12, iron, and other essential nutrients. 4. Hydration and Electrolyte Balance: Staying hydrated and maintaining electrolyte balance is key. Some individuals with ME/CFS experience issues with blood pressure and autonomic dysfunction, and ensuring adequate sodium and fluids can help with symptoms of dizziness and fatigue. 5. Mitochondrial Support: Some studies suggest mitochondrial dysfunction in ME/CFS. Supplements or foods that support energy production, like CoQ10, L-carnitine, magnesium, and ribose, may be helpful. Lifestyle Changes: 1. Pacing and Energy Conservation: One of the most effective strategies for ME/CFS is called "pacing." This involves learning to balance activity with rest to avoid overexertion and managing energy levels throughout the day. Techniques like the "spoon theory" are often used to help with energy management. 2. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Though controversial in the ME/CFS community, some studies have shown that CBT can help with coping mechanisms and improving quality of life, especially when used in conjunction with other treatments. 3. Sleep Hygiene: Good sleep habits are crucial. Practicing regular sleep patterns, avoiding caffeine and screens before bed, and creating a restful environment may help with the unrefreshing sleep that often accompanies ME/CFS. 4. Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques: Practices like meditation, deep breathing exercises, and yoga (gentle and adapted to individual tolerance) can help reduce stress, improve mood, and support overall well-being. 5. Physical Activity (Graded Exercise Therapy - GET): GET has been controversial due to concerns that it may exacerbate symptoms. However, light and controlled movement like stretching or slow walking (under guidance) may benefit some, but over-exertion should be avoided. Supplements: Some people find symptom relief with supplements such as: B vitamins (B12 in particular for vegans) Magnesium D-Ribose (for energy production) NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) Coenzyme Q10 Turmeric/Curcumin (for anti-inflammatory effects) Before starting any supplements, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider to avoid interactions with other treatments. Since you’re on a vegan diet, ensuring adequate intake of B12, iron, and omega-3s is essential, as deficiencies in these can worsen fatigue. It’s always a good idea to tailor dietary and lifestyle interventions to your specific needs and work with a healthcare professional knowledgeable in ME/CFS management.
@@VeganLinked thanks, yes familiar with all that and working with it, taking appropriate bio available vits etc etc. There is good reason for controversy about CBT and GET because of how it was used. GET damaged sufferers (including me under medical supervision!). Movement is important, but has to be approached differently, as nothing can be forced or the illness is exacerbated. Staying within its limitations is essential, but the CBT/GET regime failed to recognise this, as was treating it as an imaginary illness by the psych drs particularly in the UK. CBT can help with coping with long term illness or underlying contiguous condition, but does nothing in itself for M.E. and harmful when the practitioner doesn't believe in the physical illness being experienced. Good information otherwise, but it is just managing the manifestation of the illness. I was really wondering if Dr Fuhrman had any experience of treating the condition specifically for your next interview, but I'll check out his web site too. Thank you for your response much appreciated 👍❤🙏
I am not aware that the most long-lived group in USA, the adventist who are vegan, have been plagued with dementia at all. is he sure that that dementia in those patients is caused for not taking EPA and DHA? Same with b12, donald watson never took b12 supplements and lived till 95 with no dementia or any other problem. Same for regular people (at least born before compulsory vaccinations), who mostly don't like and don't eat any fish. I agree that supplements can be useful if your diet is not the best, for example not eating enough greens because they are expensive in many places, but I don't find good reasons based on data for wich we must supplement on something more than omnivores.
@@anonimogonzalezperez4951 first off, a well-plan vegan diet reduces your risk for chronic disease and I'll cause mortality compared to an omnivorous diet. But nothing is a panacea. So living longer just means you might have some other risks down the line. And this might be a genetic predisposition or based on epigenetic behavior throughout your life. So if a vegan has to supplement it doesn't really matter if in the end they are doing better either way and supplementing is just going to take it to another level. And supplementing isn't that big of a deal. Appealing to nature is just a fallacy. We do all kinds of things that are not natural that augment our health span and lifespan. So it's really a moot point. I don't recall him saying that the Adventists Vegans are plagued with dementia. Did he say that here? Or are you referring to something somewhere else? Personally I don't like him referencing his previous clients because it's very anecdotally n of one not scientific. I am having another interview with him now so I hope to kind of delve into this a little more with him then. I would have here but for the sake of time and a variety of other reasons I didn't.
@@phyllisgordon6577 You may do better off reaching out to Dr Fuhrman directly through his website. Or consult a nutritionist, dietitian, or physician that practice is lifestyle medicine. I'm not qualified but I would assume legumes, greens, grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices and a variety of each. And a B12 supplement and vitamin D. And maybe even an omega-3 supplement.
Yes that is true. Here in Berlin the vegan scene is growing. There are many vegan restaurants and the supermarkets also gearing up with plant-based foods.
@@anonimogonzalezperez4951I'm sure he would be fine if he was. But I don't think it's likely he was. He's pretty intimately involved in National Health Association which is where I shot this interview and originates from natural hygiene if you actually watch the video. And they are by default anti-vaxxers.
