A woman who was advised to follow a plant-based diet after being diagnosed with breast cancer and having a mastectomy has opened up about how shunning meat almost killed her while she was suffering from undiagnosed Lyme disease.
Angela Lerro, 38, from Los Angeles, stopped eating most meat and fish and lived mainly on vegetables and colorful salad dishes for three years after undergoing surgery in 2013.
But instead of feeling better, she began fainting up to 20 times a day, breaking out in hives and rashes, and suffering from heightened anxiety and anaphylaxis. She became so bloated, she looked pregnant. ...
'I thought eating mostly plants was going to make me better, but it was actually making me worse.
'Most plants are high in histamine, salicylates, and oxalates, and when the gut and liver are impaired, the body cannot digest them properly and the chemicals can create a plethora of autoimmune health issues, creating more inflammation and histamine responses in the body.
'My liver wasn't able to digest plants so I experienced a lifetime of hives, breathing issues, rapid heart rate, skin burning, anxiety, joint pain, fatigue, brain fog, breakouts, throat swelling, and other autonomic dysfunctions.
'The carnivore diet starves the bacteria and parasites in our gut causing these illnesses and gives the body the space it needs to come back into balance and heal.
'I've gone from being bedridden and needing help to stand, to doing daily yoga and multiple hikes per week.' ...
