"One controlled study found that people with some features of IRS lost more weight on a high protein diet than on a high-carbohydrate diet, although both diets produced similar improvements in a measurement of insulin sensitivity.27 Preliminary and controlled trials in people without IRS have also shown that substituting protein for carbohydrate in a low-fat diet can improve blood lipids (cholesterol [page 223], triglycerides [page 235], and HDL) towards reduced heart disease risk.28'29 More research is needed on the effects of high protein diets in people with IRS." - Alan R.

"The metabolism of proteins consumed in excess of the actual need leaves toxic residues of metabolic waste in tissues, causes autotoxemia, overacidity and nutritional deficiencies, accumulation of uric acid and purines in the tissues, intestinal putrefaction, and contributes to the development of many of our most common and serious diseases, such as arthritis, kidney damage, pyorrhea, schizophrenia, osteoporosis, arteriosclerosis, heart disease and cancer. A high protein diet also causes premature aging and lowers life expectancy." Dr." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Results of the 6 week randomized controlled OmniHeart trial, found that a high protein diet (25% energy (12 servings of plant protein/ day)) reduced HDL-C (-2.6 mg/dal) over a six week period compared to a high carbohydrate (58% energy (5.5 servings of plant protein/day)) diet (-1.4 mg/dl) and a high unsaturated fat (31% energy (5.5 servings of plant protein/day)) diet (-0.3 mg/dl)) [51]. A reevaluation of the prior scientific evidence of soy protein effects on lipids and lipoproteins, as well as soy isoflavones, was conducted by Sacks et al. and published as an AHA Science Advisory [180]." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"I, therefore, have come to the conclusion that eating a high protein diet, which is among the most acid-forming diets anyone can eat, greatly upsets the apo ratio and induces an inflammatory response in the coronary arteries. Both factors go hand in hand and, as we now know, pose the greatest physical risks to the health of the heart. 7. Kidney Disease While many people live with stones obstructing the liver's bile ducts and the gallbladder, many people also live with undetected chronic kidney disease. When symptoms finally begin to appear, it is often too late to reverse the damage." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"A high protein diet increases the demand for calcium and thus may be one of the factors leading to osteoporosis. ® PUBLIC MALNUTRITION Areport in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, reviewed in a syndicated newspaper article in 1993, described life inside Biosphere 2, an experimental environmental project. The residents lived there for 2 years, sealed so that only sunlight, electrical energy, and heat were exchanged with the outside environment. This was a model of a closed ecosystem." - Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD, FRCP(C) and Dr. Jonathan Prousjy, DPHE, DSC, ND, FRSH, Naturopathic Nutrition: A Guide to Nutrient-rich Food & Nutritional Supplements for Optimum Health (Get the book.)

"When I went on the high protein diet (very similar to the type O diet plan) at age five, I felt great for about 18 months, as do so many others who go on the popular Atkins diet. Then I started developing stones in my liver, a dangerous arrhythmia and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, among other diseases. I had no idea that these ailments were due to protein poisoning. Ten years later I switched to a balanced vegan diet, and most of my illnesses went away within a matter of weeks." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "President Bill Clinton, a keen follower of the South Beach Diet and recipient of a quadruple bypass, suffered the consequences of the high protein diet (for details, see next section). Millions of Americans are following in their footsteps. A study by Scottish researchers, published in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology, examined the prolonged use of exceptionally low-carbohydrate weight-loss diets on gut health." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Like the Masai, the Samburus have little regard for plant foods and consume an extreme high fat, high protein diet of milk and meat. Whilst they eat less meat than the Masai, the Samburus tend to consume far more milk. Samburu warriors and elders may consume between four-and-a-half to seven liters of high fat milk in a single sitting. During the wet season when grass is abundant and their cattle consequently produce more milk, they will do this twice a day. This amount may drop to a 'mere' two to three-and-a-half liters daily during the dry season." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.)

"You won't notice the effects of a high protein diet until the blood vessel walls are well-thickened with excessive protein. Eating lots of animal protein triggers a powerful immune response in order to get rid of the foreign DNA and the dead, coagulated and damaged protein of meat, fish, eggs, poultry and dairy products. This immune response involves a powerful release of energy, thereby cleaning out impurities, improving skin functions and making you feel more grounded." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"A 6-month randomized, controlled clinical trial found that those assigned to a high protein diet experienced a twenty-one percent drop in homocysteine levels, but no decrease was observed among those assigned to a low protein diet or control subjects following their usual diet(26). In addition to being a good source of B6 and B12, organ meats (but not muscle meat) are also a good source of folate, along with fruits and vegetables." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.)

"To overcome these new problems the agricultural industry began to feed the dairy cows a high protein diet. These proteins were obtained form diseased cows (downer cows), live stock that died of old age, disease or accidents, wasted inedible meat from slaughterhouses and supermarkets, deceased zoo animals, euthanized pets and road kill. This rendering of disposable animal remains has grown into a 3 billion dollar industry. The bad decision to turn cows into cannibals has been compounded by another bad decision to feed diseased contaminated protein to cows." - James A. Howenstine, A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.)

"Thus, liver stress in response to a high protein diet, will diminish. Ammonia, one of the end results of protein breakdown is converted from urea in the colon by colonic flora. If the liver is not able to reconvert ammonia back to urea, because of large protein qualities from diet or impaired renal or liver function, resulting ammonia toxicities can ensue. Indications: • Rheumatoid arthritis • Chronic pain, dependent upon constipation • Elevated LDL levels, triglycerides Collection: Collect the roots and lower trunk in the fall." - Charles W. Kane, Herbal Medicine of the American Southwest (Get the book.)

"And as we learned earlier, vitamin K also serves many important functions, especially escorting calcium to the bones, rather than the arteries. 6. high protein diet. This concern is explained best by Broda Barnes, M.D., taken from his book Hypothyroidism: The Unsuspected Illness (1976), as follows: A diet high in protein requires additional thyroid for its metabolism. There were no symptoms of hyperthyroidism in spite of the extra thyroid until the diet was cut back to a normal amount of protein." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.) "That is why diabetics should never go on a very high protein diet.) The more protein you eat, the more proficient you become at making glucose from the protein in your diet, and from the protein in your muscle and bone. As I tell my diabetic patients, this is something that you don't want to be good at! (pp. 13, 23). / Good fats not only prevent insulin receptors from becoming insulin resistant, but fat also slows digestion (just like fiber and protein), which reduces the absorption rate of sugar into the bloodstream, preventing insulin spikes after a meal." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"Lactic acid and a high protein diet increases absorption. Vitamin D-3 is essential for normal absorption and counteracts the effect of phytic acid. Blood plasma levels range from 8.5 to 11.5 mg 100 ml, while phosphorus levels range between 3 to 3.5 mg per 100 ml. Vitamins A, D-3, and C are all essential in the metabolism of bones. Adults require 1 to 1.5 G of phosphorus daily and about 1 to 1.5 grams of calcium. The need increases to 1.5 G for nursing and pregnant women. Milk and dairy products are good sources if the individual is not allergic to them." - Dr. Abram Hoffer, M.D., FRCP(C), Healing Children's Attention & Behavior Disorders (Get the book.)

"A high protein diet causing a slight increase in blood plasma Protein can reduce blood Oxygen transport as much as 60%, thicken artery walls more than cholesterol conditions, and the low Oxygen conditions induce atherosclerosis (prevented with a vegan Protein diet for 4-5 weeks). High uric acid/gout (deficient Copper) doubles heart disease risk. Stress creates irregular blood pressure and artery damage, famil ial discord and marital strife bring on vital exhaustion leading to first heart attacks; high blood pressure (reduce excess dietary salt/Sodium, alcohol, and obese conditions)." - Joseph E.

TOXICITY: Greater than 600 mg. per day; 2-6 gr. for 2-40 months may cause Central Nervous System irritability, hypersensitivity, numbness, extremity tingling and bone pain, muscle weakness, and difficulty walking. In some persons 100 mg. daily over 6 months may irritate the nerves." - Joseph E. Mario, Anti-Aging Manual: The Encyclopedia of Natural Health (Get the book.)

"And a third study in the International Journal of Obesity compared a high-protein with a low-protein weight loss diet and concluded that healthy kidneys adapted to protein intake and that the high protein diet caused no adverse effects. If you don't currendy have kidney disease, a low-carbohydrate diet is actually an ideal way to help control the blood sugar levels that can eventually lead to kidney disease." - Jonny Bowden, M.A., C.N.S., Living the Low Carb Life: Controlled Carbohydrate Eating for Long-Term Weight Loss (Get the book.)

"If you have below-normal renal function, you should talk to your health care professional prior to trying a high protein diet. Another danger of excessive protein in the diet has to do with insulin levels. One of the arguments for a high-protein diet is a claim that too many carbs raise the blood insulin level, which in turn causes weight gain by forcing the calories into fat cells rather than allowing these same calories to be burned as energy. A recent Michigan State University study seems to disprove this argument." - Steven G. Pratt, M.D. and Kathy Matthews, SuperFoods Rx: Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.)

"Zinc 15-100 mg q.d., high protein diet Deep sleep: Melatonin 3 mg at bed GABA: 500 mg 2-3 times per day (for children), and Cortisol. The Cortisol test is usually done before and after an ACTH administration test þ Symptoms of nocturia and polyuria may warrant a test for ADH adequacy. Secretion of ADH can be analyzed using a water deprivation test treatments are considered as "replacement", as the dosages are set to match the amounts that the body would normally manufacture ("physiologic dose"). This type of hormone treatment is usually lifelong." - Michael Friedman, ND, Fundamentals of Naturopathic Endocrinology (Get the book.)

"I am not a vegan, but because of a blood sugar issue, I had a high protein diet. I tried to balance meats with soy because of the risks of too much meat. So I wasn't even in the high soy intake levels. But even after the banning of soy from my diet, I would feel bad. Mayo was one of the things that slipped my scrutiny. I remember when Best Foods made their mayo with some other oil but now they use soy oil. Well, I have been fine for several months until the other day, when I ate a snack that contained soy (labeled as "latticing"). It was within 24 hours and I was down for 3 days!" - Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD, CCN, The Whole Soy Story: The dark side of America's favorite health food (Get the book.)

"I then placed him on a sugar-free, high protein diet. In March 1968 he was nearly well and negative for KP. In June 1967 he was depressed after he gone off the vitamin again. I started him on niacin, 2 grams, and ascorbic acid, 1 gram, after each meal, adding valium 10 mg at bedtime and neuleptil 5 mg in the morning. One month later he was well and I decreased the niacin to 4 grams daily and the vitamin C to 1.5 grams daily. In October 1972 he was married but the couple were having marital problem. The following year, still on his vitamins, he was normal." - Dr. Abram Hoffer, M.D., FRCP(C), Healing Children's Attention & Behavior Disorders (Get the book.)

"Necessary for maintenance of a regular heartbeat and in the transmission of nerve impulses. • Naturally lowers cholesterol and prevents cardiovascular disease. • Naturally lowers blood pressure and assists with blood clotting. • Deficiency can produce heart palpitations, elevated blood cholesterol, and hypertension (high blood pressure). ^ Chromium - an essential trace mineral, depleted by diabetic medication, excess iron, processed foods, refined carbohydrates, and sugar. • Naturally lowers cholesterol." - Dr. David W.

"Iron - Assists in the production of carnitine (an amino acid), which is necessary for the metabolism of fatty acids. There must be sufficient hydrochloric (HCL) acid in the stomach in order for the body to absorb iron. Deficiency can produce digestive disturbances and obesity. A diet high in phosphorus or bran increases the need for iron. Iron is depleted by NSAIDs (i.e. ibuprofen), mineral oil and laxatives, narcotics, histamine H2 blockers (i.e. Tagamet? Pepcid? Zantac?" - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.)

"The dirtiness of protein is a problem because getting rid of dirt—toxins, waste materials, or used-up molecules—is a metaboli-cally expensive process in the body. A high protein diet may be a good short-term bet for weight loss. But the long term costs of a high protein diet outweigh its benefits because of the cost of disposing of excess protein. By using the Circadian Diet to adjust the timing of your protein intake to optimize its use in the body at the appropriate times, you can achieve the same results. And you won't suffer the negative consequences of trying to burn protein for fuel." - Sidney MacDonald Baker, Karen Baar, The Circadian Prescription: Get in Step with Your Body's Natural Rhythms to Maximize Energy, Vitality, Longevity (Get the book.)

"A high protein diet leads to severe Calcium and Magnesium deficiencies; the aging process triggered by amyloid by-product of Protein metabolism deposited in all connective tissue (tissue and organ damage). Meat counteracts healing in severe crushing accidents; doctors often recommend eating no meat. A high Protein, low Carbohydrate diet exacerbates excretion of Calcium, Phosphorus, Zinc, and Iron. Excess Protein foods may cause sinuses, head colds, catarrh, bronchitis, flu, or pneumonia." - Joseph E. Mario, Anti-Aging Manual: The Encyclopedia of Natural Health (Get the book.)
