Plant proteins are simple structures of amino acids which are
considerably less energy-robbing. Plants, being full of electromagnetic
energy, counter-balance this energy need. Meat protein, on the other hand, is
much more structured and electrically dead. This requires a much more
radical digestive process, which robs the body of vital energy. Because of the
high acidic content, too much meat protein has also been linked to colon
cancer, the second largest type of cancer in America today. Thousands of
people die each year from the accumulated effects of eating high protein
diets. The liver, pancreas, kidneys and intestines are destroyed when protein
consumption is too high. Twenty to forty grams of protein a day is plenty,
but most people eat 150-200 grams a day.


THE ENERGY OF MEAT


It has been said that meat gives you energy. Since this energy is mostly from
the adrenaline found in its tissues, this is only a stimulated energy, not a
dynamic energy. If you’ve ever visited a slaughterhouse you will see and
sense the fear that these poor creatures experience just before they are killed.
Physiologically, this fear pumps the medulla of their adrenal glands,
producing epinephrine or what’s commonly called “adrenaline.” Epinephrine
is a neurotransmitter, stimulating energy through the nervous system into the
tissues of the body. This is mostly what gives protein-eaters a heightened
sense of energy. However, after years of eating meat full of adrenaline, your
adrenal glands become weakened and lazy at producing their own
neurotransmitters. This begins to lower your blood pressure. (A systolic
blood pressure of less than 118 is low.) As we begin to pass our adrenal
weaknesses down genetically, future generations may see multiple sclerosis,
Parkinson’s, Addison’s Disease, and other neurological weaknesses develop
from a chronic lack of neurotransmitters.


High blood pressure can also be a result of adrenal gland weakness.
When the adrenal glands become weak, we also begin to fail at producing
adequate steroids (our anti-inflam-matories), because meat is highly acid-
forming (which creates inflammation). The body will use cholesterol in place
of steroids where this inflammation is present. This becomes a serious
problem because lipids, in the presence of aci-dosis, stick together and plaque
themselves “in” and “onto” tissues.


Energy from eating meat can also come from growth hormones fed to the
