🥩 How Meat Became the Villain and Plants Became Sacred
Myths behind meat, dairy, and the modern obsession with plant-based "health"
⚠️ The Threat of Oxalates
Oxalates are sneaky plant toxins that bind to crucial minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron, robbing your body of vital nutrients.
🛑 Foods high in oxalates: Spinach, Rhubarb, Kiwi, Almonds, Chia Seeds, and Sweet Potatoes.
These are marketed as health foods, but the truth is different. In the olden days, people paired spinach with calcium-rich dairy to neutralize its oxalates, but today, leaning from TikToks, people drink raw spinach and celery smoothies.
🚑 Health Impacts of Oxalates
❌ Oxalic acid can:
Damage kidneys, cause stones, suppress mitochondrial function, and cause joint pain.
Oxalate crystals can also suppress the immune system, which can lower the metabolism.
Excess oxalates can deplete B1 (thiamine) and B6, leading to fatigue. (The same B1 can be derived from Pork 🐷).
✅ Managing Oxalates
✔️ Go for low-oxalate foods: Cucumber🥒, Asparagus, Zucchini, and cooked cruciferous vegetables (cooked because if raw, they hinder thyroid function and can interfere in iodine absorption).
✔️ Gradually reduce oxalate intake to avoid detox symptoms.
✔️ Probiotic strains like lactobacillus can help digest oxalates.
✔️ Genetic factors, like the LCN2 gene, influence oxalate metabolism.
🥛 The Dairy Dilemma: A1 vs. A2 Protein
🚨 Not all dairy is equal!
🛑 A1 casein, present in most hybrid cows, is almost like an inflammatory opioid (Beta-casomorphin), leading to:
Hormonal imbalances
Bloating, hair loss, and acne
Opioids in A1 milk can increase prolactin, leading to high estrogen, and inviting more trouble.
People generally think it’s the problem of lactose intolerance, but it’s actually the milk protein casein.
💡 This is why Ayurveda (before the Indian diet was corrupted) promotes drinking milk later in the day and not on an empty stomach in the morning.
✅ A2 dairy (from goats, sheep, buffalo, or camels) is much less problematic. 🐐🐃🐪
🧪 Fermentation and Histamine
Fermenting dairy can alter its casein, possibly worsening histamine intolerance.
⚠️ Suppose you experience:
Eczema, digestive trouble, or rashes after eating fermented foods (kefir, kombucha, coffee, chocolate, or sourdough).
👉 You might be dealing with lactic acid overdose, a metabolic pattern often seen in cancer patients.
💡 This shows that even the healthiest-seeming daily foods should be eaten with awareness of our bodies.
🌱 Plant Toxins and Cultural Shifts
🚬 Marijuana and Oxalates
🌿 Marijuana’s estrogenic compounds and oxalates too need special attention.
Plants have oxalates for their own functions and to protect themselves from predators by being toxic.
🚫 Just because humans can ingest vegetables doesn’t mean it’s good to take them alone in large quantities.
❌ It is a disaster for mineral absorption and health in humans.
⚡ Goitrogens and Saponins
When consumed excessively, plant compounds like goitrogens and saponins can also:
⚠️ Block thyroid function
⚠️ Interfere with iodine absorption
🍖 Traditional Wisdom on Meat
📜 Ayurvedic texts (Shatapatha Brahmana & Charaka Samhita) mention meat as one of the most nourishing foods for the human body.
🥩 Bhava Prakasha texts mention that the meat of freshly killed animals is akin to Amrit (the elixir of life).
🚨 Neglecting this wisdom or following the larger narrative has contributed to:
Energy depletion
Smaller statures
Sheep mentality
Less resilient bodies over generations
💡 It’s easy to control a population that is less horny, less passionate, and depressed all the time with distractions and inverted theories of the modern world.
🚫 It pushes the culture of estrogenic and addictive stimulants like Coffee, attacking our future reserves of energy and metabolic health.
Conclusion
Overindulgence in nutrient-depleting foods traps us in victim consciousness, keeping us disconnected from our vitality.
🔄 Let’s turn to real ancestral wisdom, find what’s good for us, and reject one-size-fits-all solutions, to reclaim our health—the key is aligning with authentic nourishment.
