General Discussion / Re: HUMAN BODY DOESN'T NEED CHLOROPHYLL?
« on: December 06, 2009, 01:15:44 pm »
I'm pretty sure that the reason we don't need chlorophyhll is cause we aren't plants. Chlorophyll is used by plants to absorb sunlight so that the can make sugars. There is no benbenefit for humans to be consuming chlorophyll that I know of.
If anyone knows otherwise, please share.

Thats a very interesting theory, PaleoPhil. I've never heard of it but I will definately research it. Honestly, to be able to do some of the things our body does, I would think that our cells would have to have some sort of awareness.

Perhaps its instinct that's been built into us to know where nutrients are commonly located on an animal? Its a stretch, but quite possible.

I had never eaten raw meats in the past. It seemed that my instincts just kicked in and told me to try them. Though, since I've quit veganism, wouldn't my taste for raw meats go away? My blood tests come out normal these days so I can't be in survival mode anymore.
Wasn't that guy on "The Human Body: Pushing the Limits"? I saw that in my Biology II class yesterday. Its amazing what the brain can influence.

Usually, people go raw vegan first because it's easier to get used to raw meat by that stage and because during the raw vegan phase they start learning about the dangers of cooked foods.
I was actually surprised as well when I heard people found it difficult to get used to the taste. I think it was easier for me, though, because of how deficient I was in nutrients.

Hello, My name is Megan and after years of being Vegan, I've stumbled upon the idea of this diet.
About two years ago, I decided to go vegan, however it wasn't because I was concerned about my health, it was for the animals. I had found Peta2 (whom I no longer support) and became a Vegan, and began to support them. Over the next years, I began to get fairly weak. My weight dropped to a featherlight 95 pounds and I began to worry. My bones felt frail, and my teeth became incredibly sensitive, and my hair began to fall out. I scrambled to get my health back in line and began trying to eat "properly" which included a lot of tofu, beans, highly cooked and processed foods. Though my health improved little, I felt it was a huge victory at the time.
Within the last months of my veganism, I began to have huge cravings for raw meat, particularly beef. I fought the cravings, trying to find reasons for why I craved such food that I considered to be "taboo" until I just couldn't stand it anymore. I broke down, bought a bunch of raw meat (steaks, fish, oysters, other such things) and ate all of it within two days.
Surprisingly, I felt better. I began to research my odd cravings and behavior and found I wasn't the only one who had eaten raw meat, and that it was common amongst Eskimos and others.
Since then, I've been eating about 50/50 as far as raw food goes. I can't go 100% raw, however, my mom doesn't approve, and I have to eat raw meat behind her back, but all that matters is that I feel better, I'm healthier, and I can take a few steps for my own health. Until then, I'm 50/50 till I move out. =]
