Whether being vegan is right for you is tough call. Prior to John's illness, we were pretty close to being vegetarian...still ate fish, eggs & dairy, and some meat when we had dinner at friends. In hindsight....it was not the best option for John. Partly because we did not take in enough protein. After his illness, we made sure he had a good quality protein as well as a good fats at every meal. Both of us did better on a higher protein diet. But everyone has different needs and you need to decide what works for you. We know someone who did go 100% vegan and did lots of juicing in the beginning of SAA and reversed the disease naturally. Eventually, she switched back to organic meats to help in the recover process. We used the Metabolic Typing assessment by Wolcott to find out what would work for us.
Regarding Standard Process.....I have to be careful when using them. They are supposed to be the "top of the line" nutrients, but some formulas cause me problems. So pay attention to your body anytime you add in a supplement and try to introduce them one at a time.
