At this point in time I am trying anything and everything. I've been vegetarian, but soy upsets my stomach very bad. I am almost giving up on doctors, I refuse to take anything other than vitamins and refuse narcotics. The herbal way has helped more than the poison they were feeding me from the VA. As far as the emotional attachment to animals, I give thanks to the animals I consume, I waste nothing if I can help it and don't condone sport hunting. At this point I understand the logic behind the diet being that the more good days and ala I consume then my body will have the nutrients enough to repair itself...
