From the desk of Dr. Nandita Shah... In the 1980’s when I first heard about the cruelty in the dairy industry, I was shocked. I made changes in my diet by reducing the amount of dairy I consumed. But I didn’t cut it out one hundred percent. I think I was scared of deprivation. Unfortunately, it was only in the year 2000, after falling severely sick and acquiring more wisdom that I cut it out completely. I was already vegetarian, so eliminating dairy made me 100% plant-based. Colds, coughs and fever – minor irritations that most people think are normal – virtually disappeared. My memory improved, and I experienced an incredible clarity of mind and a dramatic psychological shift. I now understand that much of our stress comes from adrenaline in animal products. As you can imagine all the animals that we exploit for food are in situations of extreme stress; and this comes back to us through their body parts or secretions that we consume. The effect of the diet change led me to practice a new kind of medicine – helping prevent and reverse diseases with food rather than drugs. I found the results so dramatic that I can say with clarity that no other form of treatment can produce results that come even close to this. The best part is that once you know about it, it's free. You don't need any doctor or therapist. And not just me, but others who have made the shift have experienced the same results. Medical costs drop, and health gains abound. And the very best part – I'm no longer contributing to the suffering of other beings. Ecologically too, this is the very best diet. While cruelty towards cows exploited for dairy was what inspired me in the first place to embrace the approach, I turned out to be the bigger winner. |
