I'm Bernard, the developer of this site and Stacy's husband.
I've been a vegetarian (~vegan) for 20 years now. I changed my diet when I was in high school, largely because my parents switched in an effort to avoid the necessity of surgery for my mother. I read a lot of books about diet, health and vegetarianism and decided to try it out. After 1 month, I comletely lost all desire for meats. It took about a year to lose the cravings for cheese. But I knew after a couple of months that this was the diet for me and the way I wanted to live my life. I felt great!
Unfortunately, having educated myself on vegetarianism, I completely lost all the desire I had to pursue a career in medicine. I just don't believe in the western drug-based care machine as a matter of course. Having experienced first-hand the powerful effect that food has on health, I fully understand just how sensitive the body is to the way we treat it.
Someone upstairs must be laughing at me though, because I'm now in the position of pushing my wife to take her medication while we continue to seek a more holistic, long term solution to her problem.
I look forward to chatting with you in the forum!
