OT from the blog of Jordan Peterseon's daughter Mikhaela:

For those of you who don't know, Dad and I had extremely severe depression/anxiety. We managed to get most of it under control with the extremely strict original diet. No cheating. AT ALL. I would say it worked better for me than for dad mood-wise.

And anxiety-ridden is putting it mildly. He was experiencing a doom-y feeling in the mornings that would slowly fade by the evenings. No way to live really.)

Anyway, he went from eating meat and greens to only eating meat and felt better in TWO days. TWO. DAYS.

In addition, the society recommends against a vegan diet for pregnant women, women who are breast-feeding, children and adolescents.…
