The Kind Diet

a Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet
Jan 22, 2015
I have become 99% vegan a few months ago. The only animal based product that I consume is raw honey. I read extensively on unpasturized honey and it has anti-bacterial and antibiotic properties. The ancient Greeks knew this and they used it to disinfect wounds. Unpasterized honey is even used in veterinary medicine . A guide dog who has been injured on the sky train and needed a lot of surgery got antibiotics after the procedure, but the skin on the surgical wounds was not viable. The vet gave her unpasterized honey bandages, and miraculously her wounds healed. I think the vegan diet is the best for human health, but I think it is vital to buy honey because bee keepers breed bees which pollinate 2/3 of our food crops. Neonicotonoids which are pesticides are killing bees by the millions each year which threatens our food security. I think consuming honey strengthens the immune system, but only if it is not heated. This book by this lovely actress is eye opening about the cruelty in our food industry. I highly recommend reading it.
