VEGANISM AND THE STORY OF HEALTH – BY SAT PANESAR

 

 

“In my opinion, the most beautiful word ever written, in any country, in any language, at any time, came from India, from the Upanishads, 5000 years ago. Ahimsa, non-violence to any living being. I love this word and I want it to become a truly global phenomenon.”

     Philip Wollen (1950 – Present)

 

 

What is Veganism?

Veganism is not a new philosophy. It has travelled through the ages across the world under different terminologies, for example the word vegetarian was used well into the 1900s for what is now referred to as vegan. 1 The essence of Veganism is embodied in the principle of AHIMSA. The practice of refraining from causing physical and psychological pain to any living being and being non-violent in thought and action, in body and soul. The root word ‘himsa’ means to cause pain and the prefix ‘a’ means not to. 2 Leslie Cross, Vice President of the UK’s first Vegan Society, defined veganism as the doctrine that man should live without exploiting animals: flesh, fish, fowl, eggs, honey and animal milk and its derivatives, commodities, work, vivisection and all other uses involving exploitation. 3 Exploitation means using someone for any purpose that goes against their interests, rather than respecting them. 4 Cross postulates that veganism is an affirmation that where love is, exploitation vanishes. At its heart is the healing power of compassion, the highest expression of love of which man is capable. With this in mind isn’t the liberation of animals every bit as important as the movement that led to the abolition of slavery?  That said, we must continue to passionately oppose modern day slavery which is condemning tens of millions of people to a life of servitude and suffering.

 

 

What is the Story of Health?

If I had only one word to describe the Reach approach it would be SYNERGY; the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. The Reach approach seamlessly integrates the multi-factorial (Body, Mind, Spirit and Environment) nature of the human condition using a Whole Person, Integrative, Holistic and Person-Specific model called ‘The Story of Health’. Easton Hamilton, founder of Reach, has honoured Plato’s position (and other commentators from the East) that Body, Mind and Spirit are inextricably linked and added Environment as a key fourth dimension to Reach’s centrepiece ‘Story of Health’ model; synergy between our inner world and the outer world being the very embodiment of its perspective. The Reach Approach sets out to harmonise the human condition by eradicating the conditions where disease and dis-ease proliferate in each of the aforementioned four key areas of our lives. The secret to health is the removal of waste across the four aspects; if waste is removed in three areas but remains in one area, it will over time erode progress made in the other three. Synergy charts the history that has shaped us and provides the spirituality for us to walk a path guided by values, ethics, congruence, conscience and integrity keeping us true to our souls. 5,6,7

 

 

“When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.”

 John Muir (1838 – 1914)

 

 

Synergy Between Veganism and the Story of Health

 Society has normalised exploitation of animals to such an extent that it is considered to be normal, natural and necessary. I encourage the reader to look beyond slick marketing, culture and tradition; with an open mind, ask yourself, if you were in the victims’ position how fast would you want this injustice to end? Veganism has the capacity to cleanse body, mind, spirit and our internal and external environments. This is why it naturally integrates  the four aspects of the human experience, therefore empowering everyone’s Story of Health.

 

 

“As long as man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower beings, he will never know health or peace. For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seed of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love.”

          Pythagoras (570 BC – 495 BC)

 

 

The Spirit is the essence of who we are. The spirit’s needs are best met by revolving life around something that inspires and uplifts us, underpinned by virtue, congruence, integrity, value, meaning, purpose, altruism and humility. We can then create a life of substance and spiritual significance.

 

The spirit finds contradictions and incongruity, between our professed beliefs and our actions, to be unsettling when we do not honour our heart. If a person’s beliefs include not wishing to exploit animals and yet their lifestyle includes animal exploitation through purchase, consumption and use of animal products, then there is an undeniable hypocrisy. Gensler states ‘The golden rule says, “Treat others as you want to be treated”. The golden rule is a global standard, endorsed by nearly every religion and culture, important for families and professionals across the planet, and a key part of a growing global-ethics movement.’ (p.30) 8. The key is to switch places and imagine what you do (or pay someone else to do on your behalf) being done to you. The World Congress of Faiths cites inclusion of the golden rule across many beliefs, such as Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism Islam, Jainism Judaism, Sikhism and Taoism. 9 The universal message is ‘Do not do to others what would cause pain if done to you. In happiness and suffering, in joy and grief, we should regard all creatures as we regard our own self.’

 

Thompson runs the ItalFresh pop-up food van and explains that Ital (derived from the word vital) food centres around the Rastafarian concept of livity; the philosophy that God or Jah exists within all living things from people to animals. She comments that eating Ital means nourishing our minds, bodies and souls with a varied and colourful diet and a clear conscience. Her culinary delights are based on fresh vegetables, pulses, beans, leafy greens and fruit. ‘Whatever a non-vegan eats we can pretty much Italise.’ 10

 

Hamilton explains metaphysics as application of the laws of the physical world to the way we think, feel and interact in the world. Every law in the physical universe has a spiritual equivalent. He compares the primary principle of the universe, the law of cause and effect (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction), to the spiritual principle of treating others as you would want to be treated yourself. What you give out you will eventually receive, so only give out what you want to receive. 11

 

 

In his book ‘Antiquity Comes Full Circle’, Hamilton provides valuable insights and principles from antiquity, worthy of incorporation in our daily lifestyles, such as: 12

The Law of Karma. Thoughts, words and actions are not immune to consequences; as we sow, so shall we reap. Our lack of respect for life and the planet is mirroring back our mistakes. Even if one disagrees with the deeper aspects of karma, it is still possible to embrace its core message; that change begins with you and what you do will eventually turn up at your door. So, you may want to consider the implications of the exploitation of animals, through purchase and consumption, and what the consequences of that might be.

 

Non-Violence. From before Buddha to the Jains, Sufis and more latterly Gandhi, this virtue has rarely faded from the spiritual horizon. It empowers all parties, is a position of strength not weakness and is the most powerful instrument we have for positive change. Peace is a multifactorial issue. It requires our attention to our thoughts, words and deeds.  And so, it’s worth bearing in mind that what you put on your plate can either be adding to that state of peace and harmony, or maintaining an ignorance and a culture of violence, through the many uses of animal products.

 

Personal Responsibility invites us to look for change from ourselves first before we seek it elsewhere. Despite humankind’s progress there is something missing at the heart of modernity. That something is spiritual in nature; morality, a code of conduct or a set of values underpinning our motives and intentions. Until we all take personal responsibility and pursue positive change in our lives, the demise of our modern world will continue. We can exercise individual power of choice to eliminate the supply & demand cycle for animal products which benefits us and the entire eco system.  See the facts listed under The Environment.

 

 

“The question is not, Can they reason? nor Can they talk? but Can they suffer?” 

Jeremy Bentham (1748 – 1832)

                                     

 

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” 

Mahatma Gandhi (1869 – 1948)

 

 

The Mind requires positive focus and mind-bending activities, along with challenging but realistic ambitions consistent with the above spiritual outlook. This enables us to channel our thoughts so that our mind has a clear direction, order and discipline; providing us with peace of mind, poise and balance.

 

Maté cites the origin of the word trauma as simply the Greek word for wounding. 13 Fear is defined as an unpleasant emotion or thought that you have when you are frightened or worried by something dangerous, painful, or bad that is happening or might happen. 14 The mind pays a heavy price when experiencing fear based trauma and the resulting emotions such as stress, anxiety and panic. Walden discusses the physical effects of fear, in that it is a form of stress which leads to release of the steroid hormone cortisol from the adrenal glands. Cortisol flows through the blood to different parts of the body, preparing several organs for the fight or flight response. 15

 

Delforce’s award winning documentary Dominion, filmed in Australia with a global message, uses drones, hidden and handheld cameras to expose the dark underbelly of modern animal agriculture, questioning the morality and validity of humankind’s dominion over the animal kingdom. While mainly focusing on the billions of land and trillions of marine animals used for food each year, it also explores other ways animals are exploited and abused by humans, including clothing, entertainment and research. 16 Reading about animal exploitation is one thing, however, in order to truly understand it we need to personally witness their suffering with our own eyes. If we are willing to watch and acknowledge this atrocity from the victims’ perspective rather than looking away, we can understand that through animal consumption and use, we are complicit in their unimaginable physical and psychological pain. We are also energetically absorbing and digesting their fear, suffering, cortisol and trauma; adding this to whatever mental health issues we may already be carrying. A link to Dominion is provided at the end of this article. Ask yourself, if it’s not good for my eyes, then why is it good for my stomach?

 

One of Reach’s core concepts is ‘The Three Aspects of Consciousness’. Hamilton describes the second aspect as ‘other’, a position of empathy, care, kindness and compassion. This means stepping away from the first position of ‘self’ and looking at reality from another’s viewpoint and seeing the world as another is seeing and feeling it, as well as understanding it from their position. 17 In his book ‘Synergy: A Cure for All Ills’ Hamilton discusses the intimate relationship between the mouth and the mind and in his sequel ‘Become Part of the Solution’ introduces the notion of quantum dissonance (disease) and quantum coherence (health) as examples of energy signatures and energy contracts. 5,18  We can choose how we consciously sign-up to these contracts through our philosophy and beliefs, our intentions and actions, which can lead to a much better experience for ourselves and those around us making our contribution to the world more constructive.

 

Gilbert states ‘the essence of compassion is basic kindness, with a deep awareness of the suffering of oneself and of other living things, coupled with the wish and effort to relieve it.’ 19 Yourofsky argues that speciesism (the concept of discriminating against other beings based on their species) is the root of all discrimination such as racism and sexism. As children we are socially hardwired to love and show kindness to dogs and horses, be sad for rhinos and elephants but eat cows, pigs, chickens and certain fish. Regardless of race, creed, religion, sex or species we all suffer, feel pain and sadness in the same way and we all deserve compassion, respect and safety. 20 A link to Yoursosky’s speech at City College, New York is provided at the end of this article. This video has been watched by millions worldwide and inspired countless individuals to live vegan and be a voice for oppressed animals.

 

 

“How would you feel, if the day that you were born, somebody else had already planned the day of your execution.”

 Gary Yourofsky (1970 – Present)

 

 

“Don’t talk of love and peace when you have a dead animal on your plate.”

 Socrates (c.470 BC – 399 BC)

 

 

The Body requires its core needs to be met: hydration, food, nutrition, body strengthening and exercise, restorative sleep, rest and relaxation. In addition, the removal of waste is of paramount importance and so detoxification is imperative to maintain balance.

 

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (previously the American Dietetic Association) is the world’s largest organisation of food and nutrition professionals, comprising more than 112,000 credentialed practioners. Their position paper states that appropriately planned total vegan diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well planned vegan diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood and adolescence, and for athletes. 21 Similar positions can be found in The Dieticians Association of Australia, The British Dietetic Association and The National Health Service (UK). 22

 

The China Study (a comprehensive study of nutrition and its implication for diet, weight loss and long-term health) spanned 20 years and involved 6,500 people. The authors Campbell and Campbell II concluded that a whole food vegan diet will escape, reduce or reverse development of chronic illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer. 23 Gregor cites Kaiser Permanente (USA’s largest managed-care organisation) providing a nutritional update for 15,000 physicians, in their official medical journal, that healthy eating may be ‘best achieved with a plant-based diet, which we define as a regimen that encourages whole, plant-based foods and discourages meats, dairy products and eggs as well as all refined and processed foods.’ 24

 

Cameron states ‘As demonstrated by the athletes and research featured in The Game Changers, switching to a diet centered around plants can yield significant performance advantages, providing optimal fuel, increasing blood flow, making muscles more efficient, and speeding recovery by lowering inflammation. These benefits can not only be experienced by athletes, but by anyone who wants to feel and perform better in any aspect of their lives.’ 25 

 

Vegan doctor Milton Mills believes that humans are inherently herbivores due to our innate revulsion to raw/and or putrid animal flesh. There are no adaptations in our digestive system for eating animal flesh without the aid of technology. Natural carnivores such as lions and bears catch and eat raw meat, whereas humans rely on tools for slaughter and cooking to eliminate food-borne illness. 26

 

Hamilton highlights Hippocrates’ (one of the founding fathers of medicine) indisputable simple statement ‘you are what you eat’ and postulates further that actually ‘we are what we absorb from what we eat’. In Reach’s ‘Story of Light’ concept, he explains that light emitting from the sun is imbibed by plants through photosynthesis, which digest and convert into many nutrients. We literally absorb the photons contained within plants, which act as our primary energy life source. The healthiest food does not cause disruption to the body, since it promotes constructive interference. We need our light, our essence to burn gently like a candle, rather than burning like a raging inferno. Hamilton also discusses acidosis (a dominant acidic position in the body) resulting from diets high in meat and other animal products such as eggs and dairy, which are acid producing foods, and low in alkaline producing foods like vegetables, beans, lentils, herbs, seasonings, seeds, nuts and fruits. Acidosis is the root of many diseases such as chronic bowel conditions, severe migraines, diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, cancer tumours and many more. 5 By filtering our plant photon nutrients through animals, we not only absorb their pain, suffering and emotional stress but we also create inflammation in our body, causing destructive interference.

 

Dr Shireen Kassam is a Consultant Haematologist, Honorary Senior Lecturer at King’s College Hospital and founder of Plant-Based Health Professionals UK, which provides evidence-based education for healthcare professionals and the general public on whole food plant-based nutrition. She is also, a Visiting-Professor at University of Winchester, where she has developed and facilitates the UK’s first course on plant-based nutrition. A link to her ‘Plant-Based Diets for Personal and Planetary Health’ talk at the Eco Medics Conference is provided at the end of this article. This is a concise yet comprehensive summary of the many reasons (ethics, health and environment) to eat a vegan diet.

 

 

 “You need protein not meat. You need calcium not milk. You need omegas not fish. You need nutrients not from the life of an animal. All of which can be found in a plant-based diet.” 

Vegan Doctors of the UK (Information Board, 2019)

 

“Someone once asked me, how could you get as strong as an ox without eating any meat? My answer was have you ever seen an ox eating meat?” 

Patrik Baboumian (1979 – present)

 

 

Environment – Hamilton describes the environment as four distinct aspects (the self, the body, our society and planet) and although each requires different resources, the overlap and connections are countless, as each underpins and supports the others. He states ‘if we are to achieve the best immunity, we must meet the needs of the mind, body and spirit and make adjustments to our environment that will support all three.’ 18 His article ‘Eating Our Way to Extinction?’ provides a wide variety of data and facts from commentators and researchers on how animal agriculture and the food choices that drive the food industry is resulting in most of the pollution generated. The reader is encouraged to carry out his/her own research, search his/her conscience and act accordingly. The context being ‘We now stand at a point in history, where our relationship to the environment is more critical than ever…and if we don’t change our attitude and approach, we will carry on creating the conditions where we bury ourselves alive.’ 27

 

Anderson’s environmental documentary ‘Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret’ investigates the most destructive industry facing the planet today and why environmental organisations are too afraid to talk about it. He states that ‘Animal agriculture is the leading cause of deforestation, water consumption and pollution, is responsible for more greenhouse gases than the transportation industry, and is a primary driver of rainforest destruction, species extinction, habitat loss, topsoil erosion, ocean ‘dead zones’, and virtually every other environmental ill. Yet it goes on, almost entirely unchallenged.’ His facts page states that 70 billion farm animals are reared annually worldwide (more than 6 million animals are killed for food every hour) whilst 82% of starving children live in countries where food is fed to animals, and the animals are eaten by western countries. 80% of antibiotics sold in the USA are for livestock. A person following a vegan diet produces the equivalent of 50% less CO2, uses 1/11th oil, 1/13th water and 1/18th land compared to a meat eater for their food. 28

 

Oxford University’s 2018 study by Poore and Nemecek created a huge dataset based on almost 40,000 farms in 119 countries, covering 40 food products that represent 90% of all that is eaten. It assessed the full impact of these foods, from farm to fork, on land use, climate change emissions, freshwater use and water pollution (eutrophication) and air pollution (acidification). They concluded that avoiding meat and dairy products is the single biggest way to reduce your environmental impact on the planet.

 

Their research shows that without meat and dairy consumption, global farmland use could be reduced by more than 75% (an area equivalent to the US, China, European Union and Australia combined) and still feed the world. While meat and dairy provide just 18% of calories and 37% of protein, it uses the vast majority, 83%, of farmland and produces 60% of agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions. The scientists also found that even the very lowest impact meat and dairy products still cause much more environmental harm than the least sustainable vegetable and cereal growing. 29

 

Tabrizi’s ‘Seaspiracy’ documentary facts page highlights how the fishing industry adversely impacts life on earth. The oceans are home for up to 80% of all life on earth and absorb 4 x the amount of CO2 than the Amazon Rainforest. Up to 85% of the world’s oxygen comes from phytoplankton. 2.7 trillion fish are caught annually (5 million every minute); fish populations are in decline to near extinction. 70% of macro plastic at sea comes from fishing gear; plastic straws comprise just 0.03%. Bottom trawling releases as much carbon as air travel. 24,000 fisheries workers die on the job per year and widespread forced labour in the seafood trade is reported in 47 countries. 30   

 

                                                                                                               

“We begin to see the importance of selecting our environment with the greatest of care because environment is the mental feeding ground out of which the food that goes into our minds is extracted.” 

Napoleon Hill (1883 – 1970)

 

“Suffering is suffering, and murder is murder, and the more helpless the victim the more horrific the crime.”

 Damien Mander (1979 – present)

 

 

 

Concluding Remarks

Veganism is steeped in Ahimsa and The Story of Health is the embodiment of Synergy. Harmonising Ahimsa synergistically at all levels of life in body, mind and spirit across the four environments means that we can take individual personal responsibility for our part and become part of the solution with respect to all sentient beings and protect mother earth. We can each formulate a Story of Health plan to foster non-violence in thoughts, words and actions to ensure that we tread carefully across the planet and leave the best legacy. Hamilton believes that The Story of Health is the simplest and most valuable reference for creating a manifesto for individual change because it places personal responsibility in our hands. It enables us to become harbingers of change, not looking for someone else to do something but looking to ourselves. 18 Ask yourself, from now on should the number of animals exploited for me be zero or more?

 

 

“Personal transformation can and does have global effects. As we go, so goes the world, for the world is us. The revolution that will save the world is ultimately a personal one.” 

Marianne Williamson (1952 – present)

 

 

“Humans – who enslave, castrate, experiment on, and fillet other animals – have had an understandable penchant for pretending animals do not feel pain. A sharp distinction between humans and ‘animals’ is essential if we are to bend them to our will, make them work for us, wear them, eat them, without any disquieting tinges of guilt or regret.”

 Carl Sagan (1934 – 1996)

 

 

 

Final Message

 In his guided meditation ‘How We Can Save the World: Don’t Stand By and Do Nothing’ Hamilton encourages the viewer to individually contribute and make a difference with the following positive affirmations: 31

 

  • “I am an instrument of peace and love and I share my light with the world”

 

  • “I am an instrument for positive change and I share my light and love with the world”

 

I hope this work inspires you as an urgent call to action, to move forward in your life with positive change, advanced empathy and enhanced compassion and kindness. Be a beacon of hope and shine your Story of Light brightly across the world with Ahimsa. May peace be with you and our fellow human and animal travellers.

 

 

“My body will not be a tomb for other creatures.”

 Leonardo da Vinci (1452 – 1519)
