Vegan was never something I thought I would be.
The first image of vegan that springs to my mind is of a hippie on a commune, dirty from digging up a tuber and eating it in the field. Kids running around nekkid. That guy is not even wearing a bow tie. Dr. Rebecca Walker, OD, did not appear to be a hippie. But after my treadmill test, which would normally be considered normal, she took me aside and told me about Forks Over Knives and the health results she and her family had experienced, as well as what other patients had experienced. Some pretty big claims - getting off all meds, losing the pains from arthritis, or leaving behind the problems associated with asthma. And she asked for a commitment of 8 weeks. She also said that she quit trying to get most doctors to recommend this course of action - because they wouldn’t propose anything so drastic. Vicki and I have done detox diets before. The one on our bulletin board today consists of weaning ourselves off everything, then bringing it back in item by item. Lost some weight
