I certainly understand people that eat animals out of necessity. What is causing your health issues that keeps you so ill? I know a lot about chronic types of illness after being on deaths door for many years with mercury poisoning and perhaps I could share some valuable information with you. What really struck me about eating animals and their products was in regards to the transfer of energy. I have been trying to understand energy more and how it effects us, I was told by someone that if an animal dies scared or upset then we consume that energy when we eat their flesh. This was very intriguing to me and I am looking more into it.

Yes, I have heard that too and some places go out of their way to do "humane killing" if there is such a thing. "Natural" farms that do this were pretty common in California when I was there.
I get the idea of the animal's suffering being transferred and buy into it to some degree. I know from my days of being the kid that cleaned the fish that you can kill them with little suffering or a lot of sufferring depending upon your methods.
The biggest trouble I have is Rheumatoid Arthritis that I've had about 20 years. I took all the various drugs for about 12 years and then got off them all and go as natural as I can now and still be able to function. I'm allergic or sensitive to 80% of regular food and the hunt for calories is a real fight for me.
For example - I can't eat most of the food I see here in Thailand since it almost always has nightshades in it. Thai people say, "What do you mean you can't eat eggplant!" My answer "It burns my lips and throat and then I can't keep eating at all."
I have also gone through a number of detox protocols to get rid of the medical testing garbage I was carrying around and that made a huge difference a few years ago. I do dry skin brushing, eat clay and diatomaceous earth and try hard to avoid toxins as best I can.
It's much easier here in Thailand than in the states. When I first got here - my fingernails grew out pink for about 8 months and the old brown stained nails got cut off. Also -the first lady who cut my hair said it was "dead" when I first got here and now she is pleased with my progress after 18 months.
I'd be glad to hear any detox advice. I'm pretty limited in what I can get but I am willing to try :)
Have you ever tested your pH levels? I would be willing to bet you are very acidic if you are having issues with RA. I would highly suggest you read Anthony William first book. There is a whole chapter on RA in there. Even if you don't believe where his information comes from, I can tell you from experience that everything he suggests has worked wonders for me and my son who both suffered greatly from mercury poisoning. At one point I spent two years eating nothing but white rice and chicken broth because everything else caused an allergic reaction - so I totally understand how it feels to have a limited diet. His book is white with a xray chest on the cover. I don't usually recommend books but in your case I think it would help a ton! Or you can listen to some of his stuff online as well: https://www.hayhouseradio.com/#!/episode/the-truth-about-inflammation-
I will definitely check it out. I'm on pretty much the paleo/aip diet now and in several groups for that diet. The average person comes in puffy and inflamed and if they follow the diet, the puffiness and redness disappears in weeks and their gut shrinks dramatically. One group asks you to take a full body side "before" photo just for that reason. This amazing change happens for so many people. I think just getting them off the coloring and flavors makes a big difference in the beginning.
I've done the test strips in the past and I was good or only slightly acidic. I'm pretty sure I can find them here and will try again. You never know with the huge changes I've had with my food. Thanks for the ideas and I will definitely listen to the podcast, but I'm not buying books! I am trying to reduce my possessions since I travel now. Books are just too much :)
I totally understand! I actually don't buy physical books anymore either, I just buy it for a few dollars on amazon and then read it on my Kindle for Amazon app on my PC ;-)
I have tried it and I like it. Reminds me of grapefruit :)
