Here's another reason I'm skeptical. The China Study was written for Dr. Campbell to make money, he didn't do it for free. Also how do you know he's legit? Did you research his background or call the universities to make sure of his studies. I'm not saying this to be difficult, I just don't trust anyone, ever. I trusted my doctor in 2007 that what I had under my tongue was a blocked salivary gland. Also two separate doc's in 2009, both wrong. How do we know? They can tell us anything they want. Also how do you know that milk grows cancer? Because of the China study or is that a commmonly known thing? I will get the China Study and read it. I will also ask my current onco about it, as I said he went to Cornell maybe he's heard of it? I really want to know because if this book is right, there is a whole lot I've been doing wrong, including to my children.

Find the truth
Shelly,
It sounds like you are in a difficult place regarding who to trust. This is understandable when you have had bad diagnoses and been on the wrong side of unscrupulous people with hidden agendas. I have been there too, that is why I ask opinions and then ‘I’ make the decisions on what I do.

As for Doctor Campbell and the China Study, well you suggest it is a money making scam ?? Well - you can download the book for free. How is that for an answer? Send me yr email and I will send you a copy by email. If you think the book is good, go out and buy one. It’s a good one to have in your bookshelf anyway. I have since bought over 8 books and given a copy each to all my Doctors and also some family members and close friends I care about. I have spent over $250,000 on my Doctors and treatments to date ! I was happy to part with the $30 whatever to buy this book. Campbell is worth a million bucks to me. The people who think such works are money makers have simple not read this book and are closed to new information.

As for veracity, the book is the result of the largest ever study on human nutrition ever undertaken, no small feat. The Milk protein (Casein) study was a result of a chance meeting with an Indian researcher who made the discovery. This was contrary to Campbell belief (he was also a farm boy like me – Milk n Meat) and he was also heading a program to provide high protein diets to poor countries in order to relieve the juvenile mortality rates in those countries, so hearing that doing so could actually cause harm made him sit up and start asking questions.

He eventually got funding and recreated and expanded on the experiments done by the Indian Doctor, and his finding showed 100% the Indian guy was right.

The medical community and agricultural communities are not too happy about this fact and so it’s of no benefit to them to let this information rise to the surface.
The result lead Campbell to search further and the book will lead you through his journey for discoveries. Dr T. Colin Campbell is a Key note Speaker but he is now quite elderly and I believe does not tour regularly. He is a Nutrition Activist, and has devoted his life to helping people discover a better life through nutrition. His book was not the sole source of my research but the book put all the others into perspective and made all the pieces of the puzzle join together and things just became very very clear. (I have been studying health and nutrition for over 30 years but with no real urgency or high priority because I was always in OK shape.. till August 2009. My C Diagnosis was the game changer).

Bottom line is we consume too much stuff that is not so good for us, and not enough of the stuff that is good for us. We simply don’t need anywhere near the level of protein we have been told to eat by the likes of the FDA and our Doctors, and the way we get protein does not need to be predominantly from meat (in fact none of it does). When I hear the “Oh we need meat for protein, adn to grow muscle and bone, and recover from surgery, and and and..”. Well dang - how the hell could our family have raised 1200 lb bullocks by the truckload for market without one single beast ever consuming 1 ounce of meat !! They ate 100% green grass which of course is … well, a vegetable. Hmmmm ?? Makes you think.

The agricultural boards (Meat, Egg, Poulty and Milk) , FDA, Pharmaceutical Companies and big food ‘manufacturers’ all have some serious explaining to do as do. They have been duping us since the year dot. Very big, very wealthy, very powerful. Sad but true. They own us.

As for you feeling guilty about your diet and that of your kids, well don’t beat yourself up over that. We are all guilty of the same. You do owe it to yourself, and you kids however, to rectify things, and it’s of no great effort. There is a mind shift involved like any big change. There are various ways to make this changes Shelly and I really don’t know to what extent you need to change. Some people go cold turkey, and just go veg or you can slowly eliminate the bad stuff week by week. Sugar and salt are somewhat addictive so there will be an adjustment period and challenges.

Reading the China Study really made it easier for me to make those changes and I hope it does the same for you. Your kids may revolt but that is a family discipline issue which I can’t help you with. Just remember the hunman body is very tolerant. Just look around and see how how badly people traet their bodies and are still breathing. The chances that things can go wrong simpy increase with the level of abuse. Soem get away away with it, some of us don't.

The SAD (Standard American Diet) being accepted as the ‘norm’, is very sad indeed. Think about how much crap is consumed where Coke & Sodas are the main form of fluid people 9&theor kids) consume in their home (Oh and with ice !). People live out of packets, jars and processed food and takeaways. To really get on board, you need to simply start from scratch and any reference to what is thought to be a good or balanced diet in relation to the SAD, delete from your mind, we have been fooled into believing what we ‘did’ was OK when it in relation to the SAD was far from that.

If you shop only on the 'Fresh Produce' section of your supermarket, you never need to read the packet or the ingredients, don’t worry about calories, salt, sugar or fats ! Easy. Even if you don’t buy organic, don’t worry, non organic fresh foods are far far better that the packaged and processed crap.

Even clothing manufacturers have joined in by making size tags more PC. Can you tell me why my clothing labels say: EUR L USA M ??? This is making obesity acceptable. This is also why many people think the standard BMI (Body Mass Index) is not correct. If you are on your correct BMI you will look as thin as an aid sufferer. Can this be right ?? . (Muscle men may be excluded).

The massive consumption of crap foods, fatty meats, processed food (white flour), sugars, salts, additives, enhancers, chemicals, bad oils and too much of all of it, has lead to a health crisis of epidemic proportion in the Western world and now it’s starting in Asia with the introduction of high protein diets and junk foods. If you consume this crap, you WILL increase risk of Cardio Vascular Disease, Diabetes, and Cancer. You WILL increase the chance of recurrence and decrease your chances of full recovery.

If you make a choice to stop consuming this rubbish and give your body only ‘good’ food, then all the numbers start to look better and we can give ourselves and our families a fighting chance and set them on a better path to a healthy life.

The China Study simply looks at the difference in pathologies over large areas and populations to show the marked difference caused by diet and nutrition. It’s not a fad diet book, he is not selling a home Gym you can slide under your bed, no calorie charts, no products, no meal plans, just results from research and some underlying explanations of metabolic and anatomical processes.

Don’t give up trust Shelly. Discover your own truth and become free and gain control of things on your terms. Information is the key, so keep looking, keep an open mind, and you will find the answers you need.

PS Thanks Rose, great additions and information. Waiting on feedback fm Naturopaths on Avemar. Will share when it comes. Tx

PSS Hondo, great to hear you are going green again, I'm sure it will help. I almost lost my Father over Christmas, Pneumonia, heart, diabetes, polymyalgia ... all diet related. He is now on the path and has already ditched his BP meds, prednisone and insulin.
