• Why Consume a Whole-food, Plant-based Diet

  To eat fully consciously connects us to the miracle of all life.

  The WHO states the endometriosis is incurable and the cause is unknown. Using references from peer-reviewed medical journals and case studies, I can show that this is not true.

  It is caused by an overabundance of oestrogen, in particular estradiol which is the result of a high-fat, high-protein diet as advocated by low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diet advocates such as Dr James Muecke, the 2020 Australian of the Year. Many references are provided on my website.

  I have a 150 page, 120000 word website explaining how informed choices relating to the food we consume can result in optimal outcomes for our health, the environment and for the animals that we share the earth.

  When I published my book Low-Carbohydrate Mania: Fantasies, Illusions, and Myths, I posted Dr John McDougall a copy to his practice in Santa Rosa, California. We communicated by email for nearly a year. Mostly the correspondence was concerned with the views of William Davis and Robert Lustig. He viewed both with some – let’s say, bewilderment.

  Whole-food, plant-based diets without added oils or simple carbohydrates are best for our health, the environment and the animals we share the earth with.

• Lifestock’s Long Shadow

  Dr Henning Steinfeld is an agricultural economist working at the UN as the head of the livestock analysis and policy section. In 2005, he was the lead author of a 400 page UN report Livestock’s Long Shadow.

  It stated that the biggest contributor to environmental damage was livestock agriculture. Livestock agriculture includes poultry - both meat and egg production. It is a bigger contributor than transport.

• Over-exploitation of Ocean’s Resources

  Of the straddling stocks nearly two-thirds of the stocks (64 per cent) are classified as over-exploited, depleted or recovering, 23 per cent are fully exploited, 12 per cent are moderately exploited.

  Straddling stocks are stocks of fish which migrate between the economic exclusive zone of one or more regions and the high seas. These are highly migratory fish stocks.

  80% per cent of the world’s fish stocks are reported as fully exploited or over-exploited.

  Fishing subsidies greatly distort the fisheries market.

  Global fisheries subsidies were estimated to be US$35 billion. The total revenue from the industry is US$90 billion.

  Harmful subsidies constituted US$20 billion each year consisting of fuel subsidies, management, port and harbour tax relief and equipment modernisation. So US$20 billion each year are subsidising an industry to catch more fish that are over-exploited.

• Blood Cancers and a Whole-food Plant-based Diet

  My name is Richard Harding.

  I have been a Multiple Myeloma patient for 11 years which was diagnosed when 1 was 60 years old. Twice, 11 years ago [2014] my wife, Ruth, was told that I would not be coming home from hospital.

  I have been involved with the teaching and the design of diploma and certificate courses for nutrition for two registered training organisations.

  After six years of attempting to obtain compliance, we gave up.

  I have a 150 page, 200000 word website advocating a Whole-Food, Plant-Based diets with NO ADDED OILS. No dressings. No olive oil, coconut oil or fish oil. (Very important).

  Seventh-day Adventists show that Californian Seventh-day Adventists have a much greater life expectancy and a higher level of health than the average American.

• What are Fats

  The webpage describes how saturated fats and unsaturated fats are named and described.

  You may be surprised to learn that the National Academies of Sciences recommend that we consume a vegan diet but deem that it is not practical due to the changes required to our behaviour.

• Loreto and Kidney Disease

  2½ millennia ago, Plato wrote about the foolishness of eating animals. 500 years later Plutach wrote about the immorality of killing and eating animals who are entitled to life as much as we are.

  Many people at the Mater Hospital where I am receiving treatment for multiple myeloma are not only dealing with their blood cancers but trauma of kidney, heart disease and type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Lots of great information about heart attacks and both forms of diabetes on my website.

  The treatment greatly magnifies the severity of their problems.

  Kidney disease ranks 9th in the cause of death in Australia.

  Despite the nasty nature of my multiple myeloma disease, my kidney and heart functions are really good.

  There is a really strong correlation between pork consumption and kidney disease. The method of cooking has a big impact due to the increase in serum creatinine with BBQ pig being the worst.

  Then there is the additional problem with the appalling method that we raise pigs in confined cages that are stacked three deep. Pigs cannot move or lie down. Their faeces and urine are deposited onto the pigs below through slatted floor boards. They live in a noxious atmosphere of ammonia and hydrogen sulphide.

• Vitamin B12, Homocysteine and Methylmalonic Acid

  B12 is a group of cobalt-containing vitamins. Hydroxocobalamin and cyanocobalamin are synthetic forms of vitamin B12. The two forms of vitamin B12 naturally occurring in foods are methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. These forms are biologically equivalent.

  B12 is produced by a number of different species of bacteria which is found in the soil, on the surface of some plants and some red and green algae.

  Lack of vitamin B12 can have serious consequences as does high levels of homocysteine. Determining the status of vitamin B12 and homocysteine can be difficult and can be determined by measuring serum vitamin B12, homocysteine and methylmalonic acid (MMA).

  A number of products contain riboflavin, pyridoxine, folate, B12 and methionine way in excess of dietary requirements in an attempt to resolve B12 metabolism problems.

  Many magnesium supplements contain pyridoxine which is usually unnecessary and possibly detrimental.

• Getting Started on a Whole-Food, Plant-Based Diet

  Below are notes on commencing a whole-food, plant-based diet that is the most advantageous for losing weight and becoming healthy.

  For some, this can be very daunting because it involves changes to shopping, cooking, eating out as well as family and community relationships.

  A lot of life is about habits – once you change a habit then it becomes the new “normal”.
