Free of B-12 Deficiency: Fruit and Cheese
by Karen Kellock Ph.D. KAREN IMAGES
Update 2012: In order to not eat meat [the animal on the plate] while still being hypnotized by the nonbiblical vegan stance, I ate cheese thinking it was cruelty-free while still getting my animal protein. I knew how much better I felt when I did, but cheese was not the way. Today I am PALEO: meat alternating with fruit and sometimes vegetables and daily nuts. I feel SO GOOD. But for those of you who are just coming out of this vegan trap, maybe cheese and fruit is the way to go as a transition back to meat: the European way, also known as the Ghandi diet of fruit, milk and nuts. Warning: let your meat be cruelty-free and certified organic: buy online each month.
Ever heard of a “peaches ‘n cream” complexion? This is lacto-fruitarianism. The subject of this chapter is the effects of B-12 deficiency. Lacto-fruitarianism is a good compromise ensuring freedom from deficiency while allowing you to stay on a predominantly fruit and fasting diet. A huge banana/date smoothie for breakfast [1800 calories] and for lunch a piece of cheese—what could be easier? Humans are omnivorous--they are fat-frugivores: animal food-eaters who also eat fruit. Man needs animal protein and longterm fruitarian/vegans usually suffer from B-12 deficiencies. Long term vegans report falling out hair, depression, fatigue. But there are those among you who just cannot eat meat--you can’t get beyond the “animal-on-the-plate” and neither can I. But if one lived on a small farm with a goat, taking care of her in exchange for sustenance would be a normal way to live. If you wish to remain fruitarian a little cheese is the way to do it. For me a long-term fruitarian who had the habit of eating crates of grapes and dates, the tendency towards hyper-insulinism was so great that for awhile just one piece of fruit brought on headaches, nervousness, moodiness, cravings and constricted breathing. In an amazing discovery one day I found instantaneous recovery from switching [as in reversal dieting] to animal fat. So may many of you. After one year of fat-fasting this all stabilized so now I can assume my fat-frugivorous status--the original and best diet of man. My basic diet became fruit, cheese and nuts with daily fasting after lunch. Having overcome the dead duo of B-12 deficiency and insulin resistance the body revived, the mind restored and my work came out. The FTT problem--the failure to thrive—was gone!
Lacto-fruitarianism refers to fruitarianism with dairy products for protein and fat. Now dairy is not paleo--it’s regarded as agricultural. But milk and cheese precede the farming age by at least 20,000 years (Billings) and as animal foods they are still fat and far exceed beans and grains in health benefits as the former are dangerous to the immune system—they “make no sense” to the body which only responds to the logic of fauna and fruit. Cheese is much older than agriculture as the nomadic goat-herders throughout the world used it as a way of storing milk for the winter. The ancient Greek Olympiads were put on exclusive cheese diets. When I eat cheese it’s store-bought because the raw organic creates body-pain in anyone who is mold-sensitive. (Another raw vegan myth exploded.)
The lesson: Dogma kills. “Reason” kills. The bigger lesson: we cannot listen to anyone--they’re all hypnotized by whatever the current dogma is. I cannot stress this point enough. They may be enmeshed in a previous matrix made obsolete by a new one. Never forget the characteristic of any scientific pre-revolutionary era is confusion, masked by phobic superstitions and myth! What one person sees as “mucus-production” (bad), another sees as “adequate protein” (good). Man loves nuts, but invariably there is someone who says “don’t eat too many—they’re so fatty”. Yet for some people the more nuts they eat the better the elimination because the colon needs fat and fiber. Whatever you think, the opposite could be the truth or some fact you never thought of. But what I had to go through for years because I listened to anything other than my own instincts. I love fat. I regard my fat-stash as my rejuvenator for the month, my staff, my mainstay. As an anorexic (ectomorph) I was never given avenues to deal with the problem of full-phobia and having to stay thin to be able to breath properly. I had to invent this diet, to be cured for good of all anorexic tendencies and still fast which every instinct says to do. I was never told how to eat to stay stable--I had to discover a way, and this is yours today. Stick to the cheese tray and throw all your beans and rice away—and don’t give it to your dogs or their health will also pay.
Rastafarian fruitarians are those who eat fish for protein and fat (fish oils). Jesus fasted forty days but he also ate fish. This is an important food model as many fruitarians never fast (they can be gluttons of fruit or avocados) and many refuse to eat protein foods of any kind just to maintain the false fruitarian ideology that “all one needs is 1.5% protein just like mother’s milk.” It works so well at first--it brings a haunting beauty as the eyes roll back in the head in a “yin” way and it makes one feel “spiritual” and close to God as he feels he has the keys to the universe. But slowly and so insidiously things turn. As the body fails the ego buttresses up the diet as “superior “ to compensate. People turn away as the ego grows and there is more isolation. Then trouble starts as he refuses to see doctors. This chapter is on the harmful effects of this protein deficiency to work against this circuitous mental reaction. However you get it, eat protein and fat. Add fish, cheese or eggs to the diet then fast 18 hours and all health will restore. You’ll say of this lifestyle: “ I want more, and will never close this door.”
Fruitarians suffer with extreme deficiency symptoms from protein malnourishment--the biggest effect being a suppressed immune system. In the 60’s and 70’s vegetarianism became popular and people deleted meat and dairy in their diet--to be replaced by foods with much less protein, much more carb in substitute and some inferior (plant-based and evolutionarily discordant) substitutions like beans and rice. At that time environmental illness (EI) also became evident and has since become pandemic--a severely compromised immune system from mass protein malnourishment. Having low immunity they also evidence many food intolerances when attempting to include more protein and fat in their diet as evinced in bloated legs and stomach and other signs of protein malnourishment. They need to start slowly to eat fat and protein in whatever source they can tolerate--to boost immunity or die. One has reached a point--or soon will--where carbs won’t work to bring normalcy and thus they show symptoms of failure to thrive. Let’s look at other symptoms of protein malnourishment:
“The honeymoon is over” says beyondveg.com. Look at some of the deficiency symptoms: severe muscle cramps, especially leg cramps from calcium deficiency. Then there is the dental: severe tooth erosion from acid fruit (enamel hypoplasia), and acid reflux--ever wonder why you have it when you’re supposedly eating right? Then there are the sugar problems: fatigue highs/blues, excess urination and constant thirst. The fruitarian develops acute hyper-sensitivity--he can smell everything and everyone and so continues to isolate. The worst is the constant hunger and cravings, the social isolation and the fatigue. He has a big meal with plenty of avocados and he’s hungry and tired a couple hours later leading to eating throughout the day. I can eat a few nuts and a slice of cheese and forget about food for the day while the fruitarian keeps eating and it irritates his non-fruit peers. To him I would ask: is it not more “pure” to eat a few nuts or some cheese to last ten hours, not needing anything else and directing your energies to some other activity?
RASTAFARIAN, LACTO- OR OVO- FRUITARIANS
Man needs fat and protein. The anti-protein argument of fruitarians that we need no more protein than mother’s milk is false. The fruitarian does well for awhile just adding fruit-fat or nuts, but soon they find total rejuvenation by going Rastafarian (adding fish), lacto (dairy), or ovo (eggs). Protein malnourishment so suppresses the immune system that soon no protein food can be eaten without severe edema. One should not take it this far--for before he’s aware of it he’s mistaking brain fog for hyper-spirituality. I became fruitarian to overcome the sick systems around me at the very time I needed protein to deal with the oppression. But hypnotized by dogma, I doggedly kept on in my pursuit of fruitarian purity and became frailty-- while losing all sanity.
Billings lists of several symptoms of failure to thrive on raw or vegan diets: insomnia or disturbed sleep, a run-down feeling, chronically tired, very little energy, sleepy during the day, lack of normal motivation for regular daily tasks, no joy of living, hunger all the time, obsessed with eating and all-day eating, lost sex drive, frequent respiratory problems from lowered immunity and reactive nervous systems subject to upset--all the while touting fruit philosophy.
It is the “frog in boiling water” syndrome: the initial improvement is followed by long-term decline without knowing it in the “initially-better-but-followed-by-slow-decline-syndrome”. One thinks “how can things end up so bad when they started out so good?” At first one goes into detox and feels so much better: everyone improves so they can’t believe it can ever go sour. Then after reserves are exhausted they decline into deficiencies which are not your typical “deficiency-disease” symptoms--but are subtly and slowly debilitating.
The fruitarian “lulling effect of imperceptibly” masks health decline. But from a psychological standpoint this syndrome’s most interesting aspect is the mental adjustment to the lowered state of health without being able to perceive it as such since they do not want to believe it is happening. They see these symptoms as the “need for more detox”. Though their friends and family see otherwise they’re in denial until the problems reach an undeniable point, like hospitalization. It is emotional certainty that shuts down rational assessment of symptoms. Because of initial improvement they are so thoroughly convinced of the entire detox theory that they are now psychologically invested in the rightness of it. The detox theory is so self-consistent logically that “the willingness to make sober judgments of current symptoms is perpetually displaced into the future.” The present problems are just a “temporary setback”--its either detox or detox that needs to occur. Or “the better you get the more energy to expel toxins and the more powerful the healing crises.” They are more concerned about “eating right” than the actual results. The logic captivates and satisfies more than actual results.
Those who really do get good results are more “certain” than the others and thus become the “repositories of traditional wisdom” for the “superior diet” of which they can blame others for not following the details, thus reinforcing the tendency not to see failures as proof the diet is wrong. None can tolerate threats to their beliefs and this “shared ideal binds the successes and failures together in common cause. The less successful imbibe the certainty of the more successful to maintain the faith.” The favored paradigm shuts down openness to new interpretations or explanations. In order to prove the system works, people redouble their efforts at detox through an even stricter diet or solve their deficiencies through even smaller details within the matrix of the same diet.
Humans are omnivores, specifically fat-frugivores as indicated by the fossil record and the comparative gut anatomy and physiology of metabolism. Humans like dogs and cats are not natural vegetarians at all. Man is not a folivore—a leaf or plant-eater, for that requires a big gut for bacterial putrefaction. Plant foods are poor sources of EFAs and other long-chain fatty acids suggesting adaptation to foods including preformed long-chain fatty acids found in animal flesh. Also the slow conversion of beta-carotene to Vitamin A suggests they ate preformed vitamin A in meat. Evolutionary plant foods were poor zinc and iron sources, two essential minerals only in animal foods. Grains provide them but as products of agriculture contain anti-nutrients that inhibit mineral absorption.
The actual diets of all the great apes include meat or insects, and paleo (pre-Edenic) man ate mostly animal foods. Humans are classic examples of omnivores in all relevant anatomical traits. The best arguments for a meat-free diet remain ecological, ethical and philosophical. The vegan community condemn all omnivore diets as bad or like the SAD (standard American diet) which is so poorly filled with modern processed foods. One cannot compare the natural paleo-omnivore diet with the modern diet filled with machine processed foods.
We should love animals and one reason is because we need them for sustenance. Does this imply cruelty? No—just the opposite. It should mean we should revolutionize the dairy and meat industry to insure human methods. This new information should be a humane movement, not a degeneration into barbarism like many vegans fear it will. Actually, veganism has lowered the life vibration of the pet animal kingdom. For example, vegans give their dogs low fat diets, which could not be more cruel. Give your dogs cheese and other fauna products, along with good quality dry chunks. The dogs of vegans living on vegetables and grains—and end up fat, dry, without sheen or personality. Watch them come alive on the Cheese diet--when dead logs become shiny, bouncy and youthful dogs. Further, because vegans want to eliminate dairy because of inhumane methods, the problem remains unsolved. By seeing it as man’s only salvation, we can focus on humane methods—and love the animal kingdom with gratitude! Give the goat or cow pasture and protection from predators, in return for your very life sustenance. That’s the old-fashioned way, the only way for today. In the meantime, just enjoy your store-bought cheese, as much as you please—and regain your youth as you finally have the keys.
Be ready for gainsayers as they rebel against your two main concepts of (1) fat and (2) fat-fasting. They’ll be against fat because they’re the herd who can’t think deeply. They’ll be against fasting because they’re the herd who can’t give up their carnal comforts. It’s a Dionysian generation so remember your humility is the protection from deception! The fruit and veggie crowd is filled with pride, and pride will not receive instruction and is susceptible to deception--“eat all fruit to be gods” Not only pride but the continuous insulin-elevation brings anger, envy and greed which goes with gluttony--eating fruit all day and never being satisfied. Remember the characteristics of deception: something that seems so true--but isn’t.
Be ready for hostility when you speak the truth, for the “harmless” get angry because (1) they’ve given up animal foods when their inner instincts really desire it and (2) constantly elevated insulin creates emotional instability and moodiness. Insulin aggravates hypertension by increasing the responsiveness of the arteries to the effects of adrenaline (jungle mentality of shooting at shadows) just as it effects the neurotransmitters causing sleep disorders and next-day moods.
I’m asking you to take this new science knowledge and modify it for your needs--this is wisdom. The main points are the necessity of the high-protein fat diet and the fact that it’s not fat that makes you fat but carb. The fat-fast works so efficiently to eliminate fat from your body and food from your thought-life--to then “fill” it with a new life of witty inventions and creative action! Get this, become a whole new person and then ignore all your critics. As the highest on the phylogenetic ladder you were designed to eat fat, fruit and to fast.
FAT FASTING REGIME
And Elimination
This is a major switch but your body is going to adapt beautifully. When the one-week adaptation is over you will quite happily be living on one small fat-protein or fat meal a day. Those without hyperinsulinism may go right to the FFF diet with figs, raisins (grapecure), nuts and cheese or other types of fauna. I suggest you fast in the evening (just skip dinner) for if fasting, human growth hormone elevates at night which perfects the engine (youthifies). Your monthly food bill will be low, you will never be hungry and you will be super-healthy with low cholesterol. Your breathing will be better than ever. A note on elimination: whether you take a salad or psyllium husks as a bulking agent is up to you. I prefer the natural bulk of these foods to herbal preparations—especially the black fruit and nuts but also the cheese since the colon needs fat. But for the beginner (bogged down by feces) let me say that as a 21st century high-tech diet, psyllium husks will complete the fruit-fat-fastarian diet.
For the first three days on the fat-fast you may feel very good. Your body is getting the fat and protein it needs unencumbered with carb which completely confuses things. Then you’ll be no-hunger fasting which also feels so good. But then on the fourth through the sixth day your body sees it may be living this way for some time and goes through adaptation. Your enzymes are experiencing a “changing of the guard.” You may experience fatigue, mild depression, brain fog and a loss of fascination experienced on the first three days. This is also due to glucagon’s burning up of debris from years going through the bloodstream. On the seventh day--the end of the first week--things begin to change. You see a much younger person in the mirror with taut smooth skin and a much narrower face and head indicating youth. You feel very even--you may not feel like yourself when you were “hyper” which you labeled “energetic.” This is a mild, smooth, even calm and poised regal temperament of “aristocratic reserve.” Wait out this first week, expect a couple foggy days and then prepare for the end result: feeling good all the time, devoid of highs and lows just mild calm and even energy. You’ll be amazed at your lack of hunger and you won’t think of eating again after the one meal. Congratulations! You have now fasted for one week and you’re on your way to a brand new rich life met through moist skin and clear mind. Judge for your self when ready to add more fruit: You’ll know the time is right/wrong by the presence/absence of insulin’s symptoms.
