Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 Yeah, I often don't bother going to the doctor. What's the deal with yeast? Do you mean live yeast? Dead yeast in Bread? Nutritional yeast (my favourite) inactive. I'm interested to know. Laura [laurahesse] 27 April 2001 00:55 vegan-network the problem with doctors i do sometimes feel like im hitting my head against a brick wall with meat eaters. at uni i live with a girl whos dad is terminally ill with cancer. thats realy sad but he is a farmer and possibly has the worst diet you can possibly imagin therfore so does his daughter. i have read a lot of nutrition books cos im also on a no yeast diet and im very carefull about what i eat. all the books i have read say the worst thing that could be in your diet is meat. fortunately im quitting uni so i wont be living with her next year or we would have had some pritty heated debates! the situation is not helped with doctors who i find so closed minded and seem to never treat the cause but only mask the resulting symptoms with drugs. they hand them out like sweets. one of my experiences which has helped me come to this conclusion is when i had a problem with catahh for a long time and not once did any doc tell me to cut out dairy...the blatantly obvious cause, but just kept putting me on anti biotics and i am now immune. same with my insomnia which has now cleared up a lot since im eating so much better. i was not a healthy person and the list is very long. have other people found this? doctors seem to have spent years studying but what have they been learning? they no nothing about the basics of diet ect. and in the news when they say one third of the population will get cancer, they talk like nobody knows why when it is glaringly obvious!!!!!!!!!!! they have now come up with another drug to mask the effects of a capitalist stressfull society- the anti-cancer drug. i was waiting for a prescription a while ago and the pharmacist was checking the label on a bottle of prescribed pills of the woman in front who said surely the tablets are safe for me if the doc prescribed them! and the pharmacist said youd be surprised. therefore docs also havnt got a clue about checking the patients suitability. never mind the huge number of people who die from the corectly prescribe drugs. they are not safe just cos some highly paid person says they are. it makes me soo angry that most people think doctors are very wise people and will be able to cure anything when from what i have seen i woundnt trust them with anything. you can probaly tell i get scared if i get ill (major doctorphobia). i tried a homeopath once but the bill was too high. i got more sense out of her than i ever have from a doctor! i feel beter now after that rant, apologies for the length. laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people & companies use the terms brewer's yeast and nutritional yeast interchangeably. Those that don't tell you that they're very different. So I don't really know which is true. But...if it's *flakes*, it's nutritional yeast. Or you can taste it. If it's cheesy-tasting, it's nutritional yeast; if it's vile tasting, it isn't. Does that help? ....reporting live from the war zone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think it's bad? I used nutritional yeast and I think it has a nice cheesy flavor. A little on baked potatos is very very good...or on pasta, too. Or even on salads. I have a Latino friend who is totally veg, and he INJECTS himself with B12. I am not in favor of the practice...but he says he feels SO GOOD after he does it. It makes me wonder if we need more than they say for optimal health. Although I know all minerals and vitamins much be in balance and too much of one can cause problems with the others.
