Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / August 2005I'd like to introduce you to some friends of mind
Their lifestyle and spiritual/moral approach to living will probably not speak to many of you. It would be prudent, however, to look into what they have learned as a community from their studies of traditional folk medicine that they carried out during their sojourn in Liberia and during some forty years of living a strictly vegan communal life. I would recommend the links that say: Our Culture -and- Our Health to everyone. If more about this amazing community "speaks to you, of course, by all means, they welcome you to know about that too. As with all knowledge: Take what you need and leave the rest. VP Woops, forgot the link: http://www.kingdomofyah.com/ There ya go. VP > Woops, forgot the link: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > VP What do they practice , Judaism / Chritianity ? Kam Neither, Kam. They are certainly not Christians, most having once been Christians and rejecting it long ago. They follow an interpretation of the Hebrew Bible of their own understanding of it. Some of the second generation have married Israelis and converted to Judaism. A few of the older people too have converted to Judaism, but most have not and there is no reason why they should. They live a very rich and beautiful moral/spiritual life. As Jews we do not agree with all of their interpretations, as a matter of course, but we have made friends with many of them and respect the community deeply. Some of the most beautiful people I've ever met are in that community. Our children grew up together. One of the members of the community healed me of recurring bronchitis that was brought on by a bout of pneumonia. She took me by the hand when she heard me hacking one day in the street and bought me nettle tea. She told me to make a strong brew of it and drink it with honey 3X a day, but not after 18:00 because it is a very strong expectorant. I not only stopped coughing, I never had another case of bronchitis again and I live in a part of Israel that is quite cold and humid in the winter. The run *the best* vegetarian restaurants in Israel. VP > Neither, Kam. > They follow an interpretation of the Hebrew Bible of their own > understanding of it. Interesting , is it different from Bible ? > The run *the best* vegetarian restaurants in Israel. Surprising !! vegeterian reastaurants in Israel where most of them are meat lovers . Have they any business ? Kam > VP Kam, The Hebrew Bible is the *real* Bible. It is the one and only Bible. All translations are useless. As for the "New Testament, as one of my Rabbis once said: "If it's Testament, it's not new and if it's new it's not Testament." Kam, where did you get the idea this is a "meat loving" country??? Second only to India, Israel has the highest rate of vegetarianism per capita in the world. > Kam, where did you get the idea this is a "meat loving" country??? > Second only to India, Israel has the highest rate of vegetarianism per > capita in the world. My landlord was a palestinian christain and he did consume less meat then americans but he never spoke of vegeterianism . You are right most of the Indians like me are vegeterians . I do take eggs . Kam Israel, meaning Jewish Israel, is second only to India in the world in vegetarianism per capita. I think that the minority groups here eat more meat than do Jewish Israelis, because their dietary laws allow them to eat many more kinds of meat than do Jewish dietary laws, but they probably eat far less met than Americans. I don't know of anyone here who eats meat for breakfast, for instance. Almost all Israelis eat fresh vegetables at breakfast. A salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, parsley, peppers and perhaps onion slices with a lemon and olive oil dressing is a standard part of an Israeli breakfast. All of the ethnic groups here consume far more 100% virgin olive oil than does the average American. I do not understand how people can function during the morning after having an Egg McMuffin and hash browns or an IHOP breakfast.

Interesting . Which meats are not allowed and any reason either medical / scientific .
