"Ok, but, the problem with the thousands of anecdotal reports is this: I also have thousands of anecdotal reports of dogs and cats thriving on prey diets - allergies disappearing, coat becoming strong and shiny, no bad odors - including odorless…"

"Yes, I saw this. Thanks. :-)

Of course, what stood out for me was "though many dogs may prefer animal-based protein ..." ;-)"

"Just to be clear, I wasn't attacking anyone, and I apologize if it came across this way. I was merely stating that a carnivore is, by definition, a meat eater. So, if someone loves animals and doesn't want to slaughter them, it just seems logical to…"

"I must admit, I have read all the links on vegan dogs/cats ... and, I'm sorry, but I am just not convinced. None of them really address the physiology of an animal. We all argue on this site that humans are meant to eat a low far vegan diet. That…"

"I thought you were switching just now to 811 from a high protein diet? I thought I read that in your other thread.

Either way, I do agree that it takes time for our bodies to heal from the past abuse we heaped on it. No instant gratification, I'm…"

"Is this a medical condition? I mean, did you ever see a doctor for a diagnosis?

I ask because, unless there is a medical condition present, I honestly can't imagine being constipated for long on 811! Logically, it doesn't really make sense as this…"

"When I first read about 811, I thought it was like the Eden diet. Before Adam and Eve were thrown out of paradise. Everyone was low fat vegan in the garden.

Incidentally, I always find it interesting that the apple has come to symbolize the fruit…"
