Hi folks,

I came on here the other day to post a picture I had recently finished but before I do that I wanted to check my notifications. THAT WAS THE PLAN.

After answering to the notifications I forgot all anout posting the picture and left haha. Sorry about that.

Anyhow, I posted a picture of a highland cow a while ago. The original photo was taken by the lady who owns the dog , Fudge, in this post.

When she saw the highland cow she was pretty much amazed and commissioned me to draw her dog.

So, here it is.

I sold it today.

She wasn’t present today because her son was in hospital.

Her son also has a brain injury and a shunt just like me.

His shunt had blocked up.

I’ve been there many a time, it’s not nice.

It sounds like the ventricles in his brain had swollen and blocked up the shunt.

Now, I last had to go to the hospital for shunt surgery back in 2010 and a doctor told me that a shunt usually lasts for about 10 years before it blocks up again.

I am a believer of a good diet leading to good health.

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” is a quote I stick to.

i used to have a terrible junk food diet which I believe was reason as to why I had 2 brain tumours.

All the hereditary thing, I think is a load of hocus pocus.

Around 2000 (or so), I was coming away from a lot of the sugary food and drinks and I was keeping on top of keeping the body hydrated too.

14 years later and I’m still here. No hospital visits at all and I hope to never set foot in a hoapital ever again.

I’m hoping and praying that my current diet is keeping me in good nick :).

I follow a carnivore-based diet right now which means a lot of meat and eggs.

Some fruits and veg. No other plants like leafy greens.

I know nutritionists would say it’s healthy food but it is not. I’ve been down the plant-based road and regret every second of it.

I think a carnivore or a paleo diet is the best way to go for health.

Enjoy the pic and take care everyone :),

MJ

Thank you Hidden :).

I totally agree with junk food = Junk body/health

I wish you could just say that "Sugar is the worst thing for weight gain and health" and people would listen to you but they don't :(.

most weight gain and health issues is a result of what people choose to put in their mouth.

Thank you, Sue :).

From 2016-2022 I was more plant-based and ate more fruit and veg over meat cos I thought this was supposed to be the healthier option and it would better my health.

Found out the hard way that it's not.

My walking was always off cos I have balance issues anyhow but during being plant-based the muscles in my left leg got worse.

By 2022 my walking was slow, awkward, sore and uncomfortable.

Obviously I was drawn in to the vegan propaganda.

I went carnivore and was probably more keto at first and concentrated on high fats and low carbs.

My walking had improved a lot in just a few days!

But I didn't have great knowledge on carnivore at the time and found myself eating way too much dairy and was putting on weight.

I didn't like that and decided to go back to eating SOME plants cos I did lose weight that way.

I overdid it with the plants and had too many green smoothies.

In January this year, I experienced massive stiffness in my left leg followed by acute pain and I could hardly walk!

I went carnivore again and was concentrating on not eating too much dairy as well.

Right now, I am walking a lot more with ease.

I still can be a bit slow on my legs but not as slow.

I don't have a lot of dairy at all right now but am concentrating on meats and fats.

If I had known before what I do now, all I needed to do was cut out dairy when I was putting on weight the first time around.

Anyway, I'm not going back to plants again.

I still eat fruit and veg but nowhere near as much as I used to.

very interesting to hear abut your diet effect on your it’s and muscle strength .. I’m not into any of the vegan and vegetarian thoughts as I do like animals but we as a species were made to eat meat / fish .. each to their own on in how they feel about all of this but interesting to hear how it effected you ..Sue

I actually decided to go plant-based because I thought it would better my health.

I didn’t do it for the animals sake.

Like I was saying, it’s vegan propaganda.

Now I am back on the meats, I agree 100% with you. We were supposed to eat meats.

By eating plants only you are missing out on so many nutrients which is why vegans take supplements.

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” is a quote I stick to.

Would you rather get your nutrients from your food or from a pill?

I think I know what I would choose.

Plus also, vegans miss out on choline which is a nutrient or mineral that aids the brain and can only be found in meats.

And plants are full of oxalates and lectins (toxins) at different levels.

A build up of those toxins is not good. That is why I had the problems I did, I believe.

Meat doesn’t have any toxins cos we were supposed to eat meat.

I believe that plants can be eaten to a degree but it’s not good to have too many and that they are mainly a source of medication.

Even feeding your dog potatoes is not good as potatoes are high in oxalates.
