Because so many people who discover or stumble upon Dherbs.com are eventually so moved to improve their lives by improving their diet and thus desire to cut all meat or animal flesh products out of their lives completely, I felt an article on this subject matter was imperative.
Many people claim to have an addiction to meat (slaughtered animal's flesh) but these people are not really addicted to the meats themselves, they are addicted to the CHEMICAL DRUGS added to the meats they and their family members are consuming.
Meats produced in commercialized and industrial nations are TOXIC due to how the animals are reared, killed, and processed in abattoirs (slaughterhouses) and factory farms.
Contrary to popular opinion (or misconception) meat is not a necessary source of protein, especially if the meat is cooked. No true carnivore eats his or her meat cooked. The human being is not a carnivore by nature. It is the mind of man and woman that deludes him or her into thinking and believing they are a carnivore or even an herbivore as such uninformed and misinformed individuals including so-called health, fitness, and nutrition experts are erroneously teaching people.
Cooked animal flesh provides 0% protein because (1) it is cooked and cooking alters the meat's molecular structure, and (2) you're not eating the entire animal which must be done in order to acquire "complete protein" which is 22 amino acids which is never available in any one isolated body part.
Animals in the wild acquire complete protein because they eat everything on an animal that they have captured for purposes of devouring. True carnivores have large amounts of hydrochloric acid in their bodies to digest not only an animal's flesh, but also the animals' scales, fur, wool, feathers, and even the bones. Humans, of course, do not! This should be a no-brainer but it is not and understandably so because persons such as myself are not allowed into the public fool (school) system to teach true dietary nutrition.
Meats processed in industrialized nations such as the United States contain a plethora of harmful chemical drugs due what is being injected into and fed to animals, e.g. drugs and harmful substances including DDT, Arsenic (used in cattle feed as a growth stimulant), Sodium Sulfate (used to give meat that "fresh" red color), DES (a synthetic hormone and known carcinogen), Sodium Nitrate (another known carcinogen), and BGH (bovine growth hormone) to name a few.
These factory farm bred and raised animals are also fed Cement (to make them weigh more for purposes of the auction block), Sodium Bicarbonate (which makes them expel gas), Antibiotics, and even road-kill. Yes, dead animals (i.e. cats, dogs, squirrels, etc.) scooped up from public highways and streets are being ground up and added to animal feed and fed to animals that are vegan (vegetarian) by nature which makes these animals go mad, hence "Mad Cow's Disease."
Slaughtered cows are being ground up and fed to cows. This is a fact! If you don't believe this just go to PETA.org or FarmSanctuary.org and just hang out on these sites for a while and just watch and see in disgust with your very own eyes.
Animals do not have to suffer because man has been programmed and miseducated. Nature has not dropped the ball and everything the human body needs God via Nature has provided and don't let man-made institution brainwashed individuals like Makeda Voletta and other imps of the Weston A. Price organization mislead you into believing you need nutrients from dead animals. This is a fallacy and incorrect.
While you may eat meat, you don't have the heart or even the will to go out and kill any of the animals you eat yourself. You are eating meat because corporations conveniently provide it for you. This is the same reason why you may be consuming milk and other dairy products. It's because man is providing it to you and conveniently so. More people would be vegans if vegan foods were more readily available and accessible. Convenience plays a role in our daily habits and lets not forget this.
Everything we need as humans for human nutritional requirements is freely provided for by the land - the Earth, and no murder of sentient beings has to occur. Ever!
Man eats meat today because he/she likes it. Period! Animal-derived protein is a myth! If you cook your meat (and chances are you do if you in fact eat meat), you are altering the molecular structure of the animal and not deriving any protein ("complete protein") from eating the animal's cooked flesh.
Lastly, always remember that if you eat meat, you are bringing parasites into your body (temple of God). This is the result of the abomination called eating meat which the Jesus character in the Essene Gospel of Peace speaks to:
"And his bowels become full with abominable filthiness, with oozing streams of decay; and multitudes of abominable worms have their habitation there."

These worms in this video got into this man's body (colon) from his consumption of meat and other junk products. These worms could not live in his body if his diet was one of chiefly raw foods or even vegan foods.
How To Cut Out and Eventually Eliminate Meat From Your Diet
The first thing you need to do is detox (Full Body Detox), at least every 3-6 months because the more you detox the more you help to purify your body and when you purify the body you remove the chemical residues from all the meat and other junk foods you consume.
Performing the Full Body Detox will also help you to get a much-needed experience with eating raw foods.
After detoxing and you resume eating animal flesh again (perhaps out of habit or addiction) simply because you have chosen to continue to eat slain beasts which is your prerogative pursuant to the Law of Free Will, remember to take things or matters one day at a time and also think in terms of undoing the harm you're doing to yourself by consuming the flesh of slain beasts.
If you can't go cold turkey in regards to eating meat, simply eliminate eating the meat of one animal (slain beast) at a time.
Choose how long you will continue to eat the meats of certain animals until you have removed all meat from your diet.
Personally, I'd choose to first give up the worst meats and work my way down (or up).
I'd first cut out pork (slaughtered pig meat), by far the worst meat you could eat. Pork is loaded with parasites and worms, gives you headaches, raises your blood pressure, pollutes and raises your cholesterol levels, and so many other detrimental things. So eliminate all pig or pork products first.
Pork. noun. 1 the flesh of a pig used as food, esp. when uncured. verb. 1 [ trans. ] vulgar slang (of a man) have sexual intercourse with. 2 [ intrans. ] informal stuff oneself with food; overeat : I porked out on the roast pig. ORIGIN Middle English : from Old French porc, from Latin porcus 'pig.'
Pork products include but are not limited to: pork chops, pork ribs, pastrami, pork wieners (hot dogs, frankfurters), bacon, ham, chitterlings, pork skins, pig feet, pig snouts, salt pork, salami, hog head cheese, fat back, pepperoni, bologna, pork sausage, ham hock, Vienna sausage, potted meat, deli ham slices, liver, and Spam.
At the same time, give up one day of eating meat (the ones left in your diet). So, instead of eating meat for seven days out of the week, eat meat only six days out of the week. Take the one meatless day out of your week and eat vegan and/or raw foods for that particular day. This will help you (and your family) to acclimate to a vegan and raw foods diet and lifestyle.
Perhaps go 2-3 weeks (or whatever amount of time you feel comfortable with) on this diet: 6 days meat consumption, 1-day vegan/raw foods consumption.
Next, since you gave up pork, now give up beef (the worst red meat). At the same time, give up two days of the 7-day week of eating meat (the ones left in your diet).
So, instead of eating meat for six days out of the week, eat meat only five days out of the week. Take the two meatless days out of your week and eat vegan and/or raw foods for these two particular days and these days can be back-to-back or just any two days out of the week that you choose to eat vegan and/or raw foods.
Beef. noun. 1 the flesh of a cow, bull, or ox, used as food.
-- ( pl. beeves |bēvz|) Farming a cow, bull, or ox fattened for its meat. ORIGIN Middle English : from Old French boef, from Latin bos, bov- 'ox.'
Beef includes but is not limited to: hamburger, barbecued beef ribs, steak (tenderloin, Salisbury), beef wieners, ground beef, beef sausage, pastrami, neck bones, meat loaf, beef stew, liver, and beef jerky.
You see - if you haven't figured it out by now, for each meat you give up, you're also giving up a day out of the week of eating meat. For example:
No pork consumption = 1 day of not eating any meat and only eating vegan/raw foods for that 1 day. Or, 6 days of eating meat, 1 day of eating vegan/raw foods.
No beef consumption = 1 day of not eating meat and eating vegan/raw foods. Or, 5 days of eating meat, 2 days of eating vegan/raw foods. Because you gave up 2 meats (pork and beef), you have gained 2 days of eating meatless. Do you understand?
Okay, moving on!
After you give up beef, then give up lamb (if you eat lamb). Lamb is a favorite meat of many Muslims as well as many in the Mediterranean world and culture.
Lamb. noun. a young sheep. -- the flesh of such young sheep as food.
Lamb includes but is not limited to lamb chops, veal, shish kabob, lamb korma, lamb rogan, liver, and lamb keema.
So, instead of eating meat for five days out of the week, eat meat only four days out of the week. Take the three meatless days out of your week and eat vegan and/or raw foods for these three particular days and these days can be back-to-back-to-back or just any three days out of the week that you choose to eat vegan and/or raw foods.
Cutting out pork = 1 meatless day
Cutting out beef = 2 meatless days
Cutting out lamb = 3 meatless days
After you give up lamb (slaughtered sheep's flesh), then give up chicken and turkey (or all fowl or poultry). Now this may be very difficult to do for many African-Americans who love them some fried chicken, but even though chicken is considered white meat, chicken these days is just like pork - contaminated with parasites and worms. Chickens are greatly genetically altered as well. These days a chicken is a pig with feathers.
Fowl. noun. ( pl. same or fowls ) (also domestic fowl)
a gallinaceous bird kept chiefly for its eggs and flesh; a domestic cock or hen. -- The domestic fowl is descended from the wild red junglefowl of Southeast Asia (see jungle fowl ). -- any other domesticated bird kept for its eggs or flesh, e.g., the turkey, duck, goose, and guineafowl. -- the flesh of birds, esp. of the domestic cock or hen, as food; poultry.
Poultry. noun. Domestic fowl, such as chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese.
Fowl and poultry include but are not limited to: chicken wings, chicken breasts, chicken thighs, drumsticks, chicken nuggets, ground chicken, turkey bacon, turkey (Thanksgiving turkey too!), ground turkey, Rock cornish hen, squab, Peking duck, grilled chicken, deli turkey, chicken and turkey jerky, and chicken slices.
It is a scientific fact as well that chickens are coprophageous creatures, being coprophagic in nature.
Coprophageous. [- PHAGOUS] adverb. (esp. of a beetle) that eats dung.
Coprophagic. adverb. Involving or engaging in the eating of dung.
So, instead of eating meat for four days out of the week, eat meat only three days out of the week. Take the four meatless days out of your week and eat vegan and/or raw foods for these four particular days and these days can be back-to-back-to-back-to-back or just any four days out of the week that you choose to eat vegan and/or raw foods.
When you get to this point, now you're eating less meat and your week consists of eating more vegan and raw foods than eating dead slaughtered animal flesh. You're now well on your way to becoming meatless or vegetarian (unless you're also simultaneously weaning dairy products from your diet which in said case would have you on your way to becoming vegan, at least diet-wise, as vegan is the strictest form of vegetarianism).
After you give up chicken and turkey (or fowl or poultry), then give up seafood in the form of crustaceans (the bugs of the ocean).
Crustacea. Zoology. a large group of mainly aquatic arthropods that include crabs, lobsters, shrimps, wood lice, barnacles, and many minute forms. They are very diverse, but most have four or more pairs of limbs and several other appendages. -- Subphylum (or phylum) Crustacea.
-- [as plural n. ] ( crustacea) arthropods of this group.
Seafood includes but is not limited to: crab meat, crab leg (Gumbo), crab salad, lobster, shrimp, shrimp scampi, clams, clam chowder, crab cakes, and oysters.
NOTE 1: Many crustaceans are SCAVENGER in nature and eat the remains of that which is dead. Biblically speaking they are an abomination.
NOTE 2: Technically, fish is also considered seafood because for humans fish is food that comes out of the sea. Octopus is also considered seafood being technical.
So, instead of eating meat for three days out of the week, eat meat only two days out of the week. Take the five meatless days out of your week and eat vegan and/or raw foods for these five particular days and these days can be back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back or just any five days out of the week that you choose to eat vegan and/or raw foods.
Lastly, you'd give up fish, the best meat you could eat if you had to or chose to eat flesh (despite the fact that fish too are crawling with parasites and worms and a lot of fish contain toxic mercury in addition to the fact that many are neutered or asexual resulting from swimming in chemically contaminated waters).
Fish includes, but is not limited to: anchovy, sardine, tuna (albacore), salmon, whiting, buffalo, red snapper, catfish (a scavenger); cod, halibut, mackerel, mako (shark); rainbow trout, swordfish, and trout.
Because fish is the very last meat you'd give up, it would constitute the last 2 days. There would be no one day of meat eating left in your diet under this specific Dherbs.com format. Fish would be it!
After giving up fish, you'd be a full-fledged vegetarian (unless you also gave up dairy products entirely and thus would be a vegan at least in the dietary sense as true vegans also do not wear anything that comes from animals).
Okay, while you're still eating meat and giving up meat one animal at a time on your path to becoming meat-free, it would be important to take certain products to help the meat digest in your intestinal tract as well as to push the residues of meat out of your body.
If you're eating or while you're eating meat, you need to consume some enzymes, enzymes from fruit-based sources, e.g. pineapple (Bromelain) and papaya (Papain).
These enzymes supra will help the meat to digest in the human stomach. We must remember that our bodies were not made or designed to consume and digest animal flesh, raw or cooked animal flesh and that's a biological and scientific fact (despite the fact that many have adapted to the unnatural custom, e.g. Eskimos). Therefore, humans don't have the necessary amounts of hydrochloric acid in their bodies to digest animal flesh though humans, again, have adapted to the unnatural and unhealthy practice of carnivorism over the centuries and millennia.
True carnivores in the wild have a lot of hydrochloric acid in their bodies because they must be able to digest an animal's coating, be it wool, fur, feathers, or scales.
Before human meat eaters eat meat, they first remove the coating and wisely so because the human body cannot digest fur, wool, scales, or feathers. This fact alone proves humans are not by nature or instinct real or true carnivores.
Bromelain and Papain help to digest animal proteins. These enzymes make meat soft and tender and that's why certain restaurants (usually in posh cities and towns, i.e. Beverly Hills, Manhattan, The Hamptons, Coconut Grove, etc.) sprinkle powdered enzyme of Bromelain or Papain on their meats before cooking them with heat.
While most commercial brands of enzymes (supplements) are in hardened pill or tablet form, Dherbs.com's Enzymes Formula (featuring both Bromelain and Papaya) are in loose powdered form in vegan or gelatin-free capsules and thus are 100% digestible and absorbable.
Dherbs.com doesn't sell anything in tablet form. Tablets contain too many additives e.g. binders, fillers, preservatives, coating, etc. so as to hold the tablet together.
If you eat meat, you must know (whether you like it or not) you're consuming parasites and worms and thus you should make sure to consume Cayenne (in addition to enzymes) as well as periodically perform a parasite and worm cleanse, e.g. Dherbs.com Parasite and Worms Cleanse (usually behind performing the Full Body Detox first and foremost).
Because meat lacks enzymes, especially cooked meat, meat is not going to move in the intestinal tract and thus colon impairment is basically automatic.
It is the enzymes in live foods - sun-cooked organic raw foods - that stimulate peristalsis in the bowels.
Peristalsis. noun Physiology. the involuntary constriction and relaxation of the muscles of the intestine or another canal, creating wavelike movements that push the contents of the canal forward.
Meat does not stimulate peristalsis because whereas fruits and vegetables are alive, meat (especially cooked meat) is DEAD!
Fruits and vegetables contain enzymes, meat (especially cooked meat) does not. This is why meat gets stuck in the colon and sits there and rots and putrefies and eventually develops into cancer (colon cancer, rectal cancer).
So if you're eating meat, I highly recommend that you consume Dherbs.com Intestinal Janitor formula (or some other good and reputable fiber formula on the market) along with one of our awesome colon cleansing formulas, Bowel Mover, Colon Formula, and Sen-Fen.
Sen-Fen is perhaps the most potent of the three formulas because of the African Senna content.
The herb 'Senna' is so powerful an herb that experiments have been done on the bowels of dead people with this native African plant. The results were shocking but compelling: The bowels of dead people moved! What more can I say?
Bowel Mover is powerful and less intense than Sen-Fen.
Colon Formula is also powerful but is less intense than Bowel Mover.
Colon Formula contains Carbon (activated Charcoal) and is a more well rounded colon cleanser than Bowel Mover and Sen-Fen.
Colon Formula is our best selling formula of the three closely followed by Bowel Mover.
Colon hydrotherapy is a MUST in my opinion if you eat meat. One should perform a series of 3 colonic sessions in a one-week period, every 3 months if one can afford it.
Enemas are also recommended as meat (end part of the fecal process) does have a tendency to get stuck in the rectum.
Periodic fasting is also recommended.
To prepare your mind for the journey (to ward off psychological sabotage from the tricks your mind will play on you when attempting to eliminate meat), I highly suggest the Mental Science Manual. It is truly good food for thought, literally.
In closing, a person who eats meat would really do themselves wonders and justice by eliminating animal products from their diet. There's just no comparison in health benefits when comparing a plant-based diet with a meat-based one. This is corroborated in the book, "The China Study." Consider the following:
Respected nutrition and health researcher, Dr. T. Colin Campbell, author of "The China Study" reveals "People who ate the most animal-based foods got the most chronic disease … People who ate the most plant-based foods were the healthiest and tended to avoid chronic disease.
Further, Scientific studies have correlated animal-based diets with disease. The authors of the China Study conclude that diets high in protein, particularly animal protein (including casein in cow's milk) are strongly linked to diseases such as heart disease, cancer and Type 2 diabetes.
There is a relationship between the consumption of animal products and illnesses such as cancers of the breast, prostate, kidneys, the colon; diabetes, coronary heart disease, obesity, autoimmune disease, osteoporosis, degenerative brain disease, fibroid tumors, kidney stones, high cholesterol, respiratory disorders (such as asthma and bronchitis) menstrual complaints, and macular degeneration.
The authors (of The China Study) recommend that people eat a whole food, plant-based diet and avoid consuming beef, poultry and milk as a means to minimize and/or reverse the development of chronic disease.
Djehuty Ma'at-Ra and Dherbs.com concur 100% with the authors, findings, and recommendations of "The China Study."
I truly hope this article is beneficial to any person contemplating switching from a meat-based diet to an all-plant based diet. This is article was written for the sole purposes of helping people make the transition from meat-based diet to meatless-based diet.
