Going Vegan

I was really sick last week, and I got talking to my flatmate about how she’s vegan. It sounds like a good idea to me, but I told her it seemed like something that would be too hard. She said mentally its hard, but its not that hard, and its quite cheap too, given the skyrocketing costs of meat and dairy lately.

Then I had a blessing from a family member which told me to eat more food, more healthy food, more grains and things with fibre.

Since I’ve known for the last year or so that my body is intolerant to dairy (it makes me phlegmy) I thought I should put my knowledge into a practical application and cut it out for a while and see how I feel and if it does anything for me.

So I’ve started on a vegan diet, I’m going to test it out anyway. Its much easier than going raw where I was always ravenously hungry with nothing to eat. Today is Day 5.

I’m still detoxing I think, but I feel better than I did last week when the right side of my face was massively swollen and sore. Oh yeah, I went to the dentist and he told me I need a $2000 root canal and crown replacement, and asked me multiple times how I was going to pay for it. I will not be going back to him again.

I don’t know if I will end up long term vegan, but I think that it would probably be a better thing for me personally, health wise. My chiropractor told me I have excess toxicity in my system, that’s gotta be coming from somewhere right? The chemicals I’m intolerant too are all found in drycleaning, so possibly my work uniform is poisoning me. She’s giving me a herbal concoction to take for it, will see how that goes as well.
