Vegan Diet Cures Mental Illness

a few examples of animal flesh as a cause of mental illness

Dr Yuri Nikolayev of the Moscow Institute of Psychiatry treated
schizophrenia with water fasts and vegetarian diet. When people
returned to meat diets, their schiophrenia symptoms returned.

reported in the book Spiritual Nutrition

Turkish researchers found that pathogens of toxoplasma gondii,
a disease of undercooked meat, were found more in schizophrenics
than in the general population.

The adrenal poisons secreted by terrorized animals before and during slaughter
saturate their flesh. These biochemical forms of terror, fright and anger
remain in the flesh. Only some of the links in the protein enzyme
are broken down.

Depression:

Linus Pauling, only person to win 2 Nobel prizes*, one for peace and one for
biochemistry, did much research on vitamin C, the toxin bouncer of the body
which also speeds the flow of the brain's nerve signals across synapses.
Vitamin C is in uncooked fruits but in no animal product. Vitamin C is
associated with feelings of well being.

The animal fat and amyloid plaque, an animal protein metabolism toxin,
both line the cerebral arteries, limiting the flow of blood to the brain.

One of many factors in depression is excess weight.
In isocaloric studies by Mervyn Hardinge MD, it was found that after 3 months
with each subject receiving the same calories daily, vegans weighed 23 lbs
less than nonvegetarians and 11 lbs less than dairy vegetarians while
fruitarians outside the study weighed the least.

*Nobel has enabled the torture of animals by giving awards to many vivisectors.
Pauling was not a vivisector.

Manic Depression
Wide swings from mania to depression are prevented by fresh fruit whose polysaccharides,
disaccharides, and monosaccharides break down at different times, giving
even energy flow.

Vegan diet 'cures' schizophrenia... those are quite some outlandish claims you are making there. It does not cure it at all, I know of at least two vegans with schizophrenia one of which has been vegan since birth. Stop making bollocks claims on wonder cures and taking information out of context, next you'll be trying to sell us herbal Viagra.

Yeah right

Why not?

The study could be dubious but the premise could be true. There seems to be an obvious correlation between higher meat eating in the west with a higher rate of observed psychosis in the west. Correlation isn't causation though so "more research is needed".

It is an insult to our species that people who could have become scientists become soldiers or spys.

I'm vegan but this sounds very dubious

Veganism is very healthy for both the person doing it and the animals who aren't killed because of it.

But I think to say it "cures" mental illness seems a bit of a dubious claim. Certainly all the nasty chemicals in meat and dairy aren't good for you, but I think things like schizophrenia are mainly hereditary.

Also, a book called "Spiritual Nutrition" doesn't sounds like the most reliable of sources. Looking at the description of the book it sounds like New Age bullshit and pseudoscience.

Can someone hide this crap please?

This isn't news by any definition of the word - it's shite, plain and simple. It would be an insult to the intelligence of someone with no intelligence.
