Interview With Robyn Chuter

Labels: ,

Healthy Living will feature medical experts from Australia and a member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society: Robyn Chuter who will discuss why we all have to follow a healthy vegan diet.


Since starting the practice of treatment in 1995, Ms. Chuter has helped many people recover from chronic illnesses such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and pain to migraines.

He also became an experienced advisor and practitioner of Emotional Freedom Technique therapy (EFT), which is said by Ms. Chuter is a practical and effective way to help clients cope with emotional distress. We begin with Ms. Chuter research on the myth that humans are omnivores.

Mother Chuter: Human beings are usually classified as omnivores, but actually there are interesting differences between us and true omnivores.

So true carnivores and true omnivores produce an enzyme called urikase. And uric acid urikase break. Well uric acid is a byproduct of protein digestion. Humans do not produce urikase, which is why people suffering from gout. Men more susceptible to gout, especially if they eat too much protein and it's just simply because we are not designed to handle a large number of uric acid. We can not mengurainya. He piled up; cause much harm. We should not eat food that is not for us.

HOST: What is the myth of others who wish to be removed by Ms. Chuter?

Chuter's mother: It was shocking! The medical and health professionals continue to deploy the same misconception has long proven true, it is written in the medical and scientific journals, but they still continue to say, "You will lack a protein with a vegan diet" to people.

Plants can make proteins. But animals can not make proteins. Animals must eat plants to get their protein. All plants contain protein. Especially green leafy vegetables that have high protein. Legumes, nuts, seeds, grains, all of these foods contain protein.

However, the interesting thing is that we actually only get 25% of protein needs of our food every day. 75% of our protein needs of other recycling proteins are filled with our own bodies.

How economical what happens inside our bodies! We recycle our digestive juices are high in protein, and we actually recycle the intestinal cells flake off. We describe them and use amino acids to build new cells and other things with the use of protein.

So, we do not need that much protein. And plant-based diet with a good variety of healthy foods can successfully meet your protein needs, it is impossible not work.

HOST: It is no exaggeration to say, "Food is medicine." Scientific studies countless have shown that a vegan diet can protect us or even reverse many chronic diseases.

Mother Chuter: There is strong evidence that shook the scientific literature where plant-based diet that is not ripe to help prevent heart disease and can actually reverse heart disease, even in people who have an acute arterial occlusion conditions.

He helped to prevent and reverse type 2 diabetes, many conditions such as auto-immune colitis, lupus, and arthritis. Plant-based diet that is not cooked well help protect many common cancers, the most common cancer in Australia such as breast, prostate, and colon.

Another important thing is if someone already has cancer and then apply the plant-based diet that is not cooked so it can maximize their opportunities for healing and to protect the onset of their cancer returning.

HOST: What other health conditions that could be prevented by following a diet free of animal products?

Mother Chuter: On a more mundane level, or perhaps every day, has been proven that vegans far fewer overweight or obese when eating it by itself may help prevent heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. And plant-based diet that is not cooked also help overcome the problem of menstruation and PMS.

And that's good for anyone who ever suffered from constipation. If you apply a vegan diet, it will not be a problem for you. Indeed, it is just the tip of the iceberg, but they are the main ones I can think of at this time.

HOST: Scientific research also revealed that eating meat causes excess iron in the human body.

Chuter Mother: As with iron, there are plenty of iron in plant foods. Your doctor will tell you that the iron from red meat is better because it is the absorption of heme iron. In other words it is the iron from the blood. The problem is heme iron inhibits the normal controls that are used by our intestines to absorb iron. So your intestines can not filter the excess heme iron. And people who eat meat, especially red meat, often end up with too much iron. And iron overload is a very dangerous condition. It increases your risk of heart attacks and many different types of cancer.

But if you live a vegetarian diet then it will be sufficient, quite perfect, abundant iron in these foods. And of course plants contain many substances that actually improves iron absorption, such as vitamin C and citric acid.

HOST: Ms. Chuter next convey the hazards associated with eating dairy products.

Mother Chuter: For calcium, there is irrefutable evidence that the country whose inhabitants ate the most dairy products have the highest hip fracture rates. So among the population of greedy Americans who drink such milk products, hip fracture rate was 98 per 100,000 population.

Among black people in Africa, the Bantu tribes in South Africa they basically do not eat dairy products and their calcium intake is low, it's about 300 milligrams per day, and their hip fracture rate 9 per 100,000 in the population.

Physicians' Health Study is in progress against the men in the United States and other so-called epidemiological studies, population-based studies have found a definite relationship between consumption of dairy products with prostate cancer risk. So the more you eat dairy products a person, the higher the risk of getting prostate cancer, and also the higher risk of prostate cancer becomes a malignant cancer.

And there is also a fairly strong epidemiological evidence that consumption of dairy products associated with risk of breast cancer in women.

There are many other conditions, for example, type 1 diabetes rates are highest in Scandinavian countries where consumption of dairy products is very high.

There are several studies that associated with the early introduction of cow's milk into the diet of children with increased risk of type 1 diabetes. Once you have type 1 diabetes you will menyuntuik insulin every day during your lifetime. And even if your condition properly maintained, it may simply be cut off 10 years of your healthy life expectancy. So it's actually a serious condition.

For Crohn's disease and colitis, there is considerable evidence to connect them with the consumption of dairy products. So John McDougall, American physician who has long supported against plant-based diet for health said that the milk is liquid meat! Do not think you can stop the meat and instead stick to dairy products and assume you'll make healthy changes in your diet. This is not true.

HOST: People are also putting their health at risk when eating fish because fish absorb pollutants dumped countless people into the sea.

Mother Chuter: Due to human activities, the oceans now become full of contaminants. And because the ocean currents, these contaminants to flow deep into the ocean, so anything that lives in the sea polluted by various substances such as methyl mercury, PCBs, and dioxins.

Now, mercury is a non-radioactive metal of the most toxic on the planet. He is a really powerful neurotoxin. So it damages the nervous system, and infants and children particularly great risk of this. He also affect reproductive health. He can cause miscarriage in women and low sperm counts in men. It causes dementia in old age: extraordinary danger.

Women who ate fish more than twice a week had a number of mercury in the blood seven times more than women who rarely ate fish.

It's even worse for the children. Children who frequently eat fish have 40 times the average national mercury contamination in their blood. The reason why there is a greater effect on children because their kidneys are very inefficient in removing mercury, so it accumulates in their bodies.

Nowadays people are encouraged to eat fish and eat fish for omega 3 oils. But in the process they absorb the mercury, which is one of the most harmful substances for your nervous system.

In addition to mercury, PCBs exist. Today there are polychlorinated biphenyls. They cause cancer. PCB also magnify the effects of the neurotoxin mercury, and dioxins which cause disruption to the endocrine system, hormonal system, nervous system, reproductive system.

Once again the children in particular have a greater risk of dioxin. And dioxins are at very high levels in many fish species. So if you managed to avoid high mercury-contaminated fish, you probably still dealing with a number of dioxins and PCBs.

HOST: What is the recommended Ms. Chuter as a source of omega-3 fatty acids that are non-animal?

Chuter Mother: Because there is variation among people's ability to convert short chain omega-3 fats from plants to long-chain DHA and EPA that we need. I actually recommend the vegans and vegetarians to eat EPA and DHA derived from algae. In other words, it is in fact marine algae that produce EPA and DHA that you get at the fish and seafood in general. So the algae is the source. And algae can be grown in controlled conditions, so no contamination whatsoever.
