I was working at Disney World as a custodian and I would get exhausted on restroom days and felt like I was going to pass out. Added organic chicken and turkey to my diet. It did help. But two months later I was completely out of my mind. I got taken to the mental hospital and had a few days afterward. Found out it was the meat. But I still had to stay on the medicine because I was soo depressed. I was vegan for years. But before I started adding chicken I was eating eggs, dairy, and fish with no problem. But I have gone back to eating vegan. I think I need to go back on raw food because I had so much energy then. Unfortunately I can’t afford it anymore. Interesting show!
Thanks Chibiwawa and thanks for sharing your story. We each need to experiment and find out which diet works best for our unique genetic makeup. Our needs can also change throughout life. Wishing you all the best!
