I think each person's dietary needs are different and what works for one does not always work for another. Our diet was pretty clean and contained very little meat in it when John came down with SAA. We found that by adding in more animal protein, he healed better and gained more strength. But not all meat products, or vegetables/grains are created equal and more emphasis needs to placed on the quality of food we put into our bodies. Most of the animal we eat are fed an unnatural diet in addition to hormones, antibiotic and environmental toxins. Hence, the meat we eat is not same meat our ancestors ate. The same is true for fruits and vegetables.

We have more environmental challenges than ever before and in my opinion, play a big role in why there is so much more chronic diseases these days. Poor dietary habits, poor quality whole food and processed foods just make things worse.
