PaulIndeed Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I've always been sick a lot, but ever since going vegan, I recover much MUCH faster. Usually I would have a cold for a week or two, but now I usually get over it in under three days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontanaVegan Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I haven't been sick in over a year. Except for 2 days a couple months ago.I think that was some type of intense detox or cleansing.February of 2005 I started eating "better" and exercising.I was still eating meat, so it was probably the exercise.December of 2005 I made the biggest change to almost vegan.I still ate an occasional meal with meat or dairy. At most maybe once a week.Other than some ingredient that I miss on a label, I've been animal free since Feb or April.I can't remember what or when my last carnivore meal was.

Rob Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Yes!! I was always getting head colds and sore throats, and people used to tell me they thought something was wrong with me because I'd get sick at least once every few months where I'd be out of commission for a week. But I went vegan 3 years ago and I haven't had a single cold or sore throat since. I don't have asthma anymore either. Dr. Doug Graham, the raw foodist, says he hasn't had a cold since he went raw over 20 years ago. (Slightly related - I also just did an interview this week about how some people not only feel better physically, but also feel less aggressive and think clearer on a vegan diet - fascinating.)

Guest Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I have had perfect attendance in school my whole life only missing class for competition(which is counted like a field trip). I never got sick as a non-vegan and don't get sick now other than getting bronchitis but that was very likely from blowing glass with 50 people using the same gross pipe. I'm never blowing glass again since it took me away from my bike so I don't really plan on getting sick anymore...its terrible to get sick when you never do...even a mild cough is terribly annoying to me.
