Hi Sally, no, nowhere in the Vedas or other old literature is eating meat as food ever recommended. The whole ayur vedic concept is toward enlightenment and away from killing - especially unnecessarily. It is well-recognised by them that to get people into a killing mode (as soldiers) that they should be fed meat - especially if they ritually chase >and kill it. All I know is what I've been told, and it's been said in the context of "it's ok as medicine." Sally However, MEDICINALLY it is often prescribed to ingest things like consommes because they will supply big amounts of certain needs very quickly, e.g. usable iron. But, as Ed said elsewhere in the list, the Chinese use a lot of animals in treatments, but believe me, you would have to be awfully sick to eat "Blackleg Chicken Soup". Here is the method: The chicken is trussed up and thrown live into a boiling pot of water, feathers and all and rendered down into a consomme. The big feathers are discarded. I'd get well quickly if they wanted to feed that to me, too. :-) Just take it easy on yourself, Sally. What is your body type? Hot, Cold or mixed? Carefully follow the suggestions in the early days. Especially if you have a history of toxicity ( being ill), you are going to get some reactions as your body begins to cleanse. If you are overweight by even 10lbs you have a lot of toxins to get out! ( Average American female is 20lbs overweight - not fatsos just "normals"). Did you go to India to study? If so, the chances are nearly 100% you have picked up intestinal parasites. Garnet on this list had success with Olive Leaf Extract and anyone who has gone at all "native" outside of Europe is well-advised to get de-wormed!
