The message is clear always. Vegan for life!!
Twice a year, every year, during my twenties and a non vegan and smoked. I was really ill. Lasted for at least two weeks. Now plant based, non drinker or smoker for 13+ years and very rarely get ill. When I do it doesn't last and I don't suffer much. Even covid was only bad for a couple of days. I might milk it a little bit so my husband spoils me 😂
Thank you for keeping us healthy and very best wishes from London to Chuck, Dr Barnard and everyone at the Gregory J Reiter Memorial Fund. Thank you for caring for our animal friends and our planet
My allergy anecdote: my wife and I suffered with seasonal allergies almost year-round for decades. We both took a claratin generic daily and still suffered. After weaning 9 years ago, we both stopped getting allergies altogether, stopped taking the antihistamine, and were fine while other non-plant-based family members continue to suffer.
Thank you for the timely info. Happy to say I haven’t had the flu in decades. 😊
Always so informative. Thank you Chuck and Dr Barnard!!😂
Reishi + lion's mane or chaga & turkey tail is what worked for me.
I have learned that mushrooms are good for the immune system.
Boiled onions are great for relieving s sore throat 😊
Please share how to prepare and take "boiled onions".
Awesome Interview 💕🙏🏽
Dr Bernard is really doing his best
That firecider does sound healthy.
Vitamin C works well with Zinc.
Gentlemen: as a retired farmer, I will have to protest as to your description of the use of manure in animal management. I would STRONGLY urge you to talk to some more farmers to learn that your presentation of how e-coli gets into food products is not accurate. Farming is not always a profitable occupation. Fertilizer (or the nitrogen needed for healthy plant growth) is either purchased from industrial plants who put the chemicals together or, from the beginning of time of food production, from the waste of animals. This waste is most often combined with the bedding upon which the animals were raised which dilutes it. Farmers who raise animals generally do so with the "recycling method" of returning the nutrients back into the soil from which they came.....the plants which the animals were fed. The method of returning manure to the fields is now a highly regulated process.....and also, not feasibly done while the crops are in production. Typically, manure is added to fields when the ground has been harvested and until the time the ground is frozen. Then Mother Nature has about 5 months to break down any bacteria one might be concerned about. The manure is most often incorporated into the soil to continue breaking down. Again, it is the ultimate example of recycling. Farmers are very aware of the costs of their production and make every choice that will prove to make their product better, safer, and cheaper for the consumer. If manure were not reapplied to the soil, fields would eventually drop in productivity dramatically, which would in turn increase the cost of food products. To suggest that a solution would be to not support animal agriculture is to "play God" with the natural cycle of life. Please be more aware of what you are stating as fact throughout agriculture and do some more research. State your facts about this industry as carefully as you state your nutritional facts.

Nowadays hardly anything we do is according to nature.😅
Would not feeding cows chicken manure lessen chances of E.coli spreading?
Does temperature in all areas get low enough to breakdown E coli?
I respect farmers. I live next to a farm and see how hard they work and how multi-skilled they need to be. However I am against animal cruelty. Manure is just plant compost that has been through an animal first. I never put manure on my veggies, only decomposed plants. As far as the God reference, please be aware that (suppressed) bible scholarship indicates Jesus the Nazarene did not eat or kill animals. Be well.
6:52 18gr of vit C is almost equal to 215 oranges. Do not try this at home!
Would washing the vegetables with water remove Ecoli?
I would think that if you can avoid buying produce that is already bagged up that would help because there often is water or moisture in the bags.preferably buy the produce loose as you would in a farmers market.
While living in India we were told to disinfect fruits and veggies with either vinegar water soak or bleach water soak. Obviously not all fruits and veg can endure this. I also used a pressure cooker to prepare meals.
@happycook6737 we wash fruits with toothpaste and cook all vegetables.. vinegar is useless and chlorine dangerous.
What do you think about the flu vaccine?
I only had a flu jab once years ago before I turned to a natural way of thinking. I went blind in the chemist, couldn’t breath and ended up in hospital! Never, ever again with any of them.
@starlight1867 wow you must be allergic to something in them. I have had them for the last few years with no side effects at all. I was just curious how necessary they are. I would love to know plant-based doctor's opinion. You are doing a great thing for your health by taking a natural way, eating healthy, exercising, getting rest/sleep!
@ yes, it was full on !
I work in a hospital so I get the flu jab every year. I get it without the egg protein and have no problems with it.
At least it would reduce chances of getting Alzheimer's
Thank you. I would think and hope that an investigation into the recent E Coli outbreak on organic carrots would identify the source of the animal waste used as compost/manure for the carrots, and that the carrot grower would not used it again.
Millions of ecoli cases annually,caused by meat products contaminated with faeces and we focus on carrots😂
I'm 75 and in good health. Mostly WFPB. I very rarely got colds or the flu.
I got the covid 19 about a month ago and thought I was gonna die. Lucky no respiratory symptoms but I had a fever between 99 and 100 for about two weeks. Physically I felt like someone beat me up with a rubber hose. Aches all over and no appetite. Wonky sleep patterns. Up down up down. I was very very weak and I'm still dealing with that... I would not wish it on anybody... BTW I had all my Covid shots and followups... Uff what an ordeal.. Closest to dying I've ever been...
Sorry to hear it. Unfortunately there are no guarantees, whatever you do. However, it's very likely that you would have been affected more, if you had not been eating such a healthy diet.
Bless your heart … that sounds scary.😬 But you’re doing all the right things and it sounds like you WILL recover. Hang in there.🙏🏻💗 It helps to stay warm and hot baths really do help.
Probably this Vegan diet made you weak
