So my 'beef' (ha) with this 'vegetarianism is more spiritual' is that - what do I do? With my allergies and other health experiences, I barely survive on a vegetarian diet, nevermind vegan. There has been much research into epileptics and other health conditions that show some people/health conditions do MUCH better on ketogenic or high protein diets.
..
So what does one say to my sector of the population? We won't ascend because we can't survive on plants alone? We will never progress spiritually because our ill health requires us to eat animal sources of protein?
its really surprising to me that a meat diet is your only option, but if it is truly the case then so be it. health is paramount.
to your segment of the population i would say talk to a nutritionist and if they know their onions theyll point you in the right direction.
grains arent even an essential to the human diet. have you looked into acupuncture? my girlfriend is actually being cured of a few of her allergies and sensitivities, but it tends to be pretty expensive..
