Irene,

<< Is there I place where I can go to get more information on
 this?  I'd really like to hear stories on how people started doing this
 and how their bodies responded to it. >>

Initially I thrived on a raw food vegan diet which consisted of mostly fruit,
until I seemed to have worn out my pancreas and nutrient reserves at which
point it became clear that my body needed the whole tissue of another creature
to replace my own.  Immediately after adding raw fish to my diet, my health
and body bounced back.  I keep feeling better and better.  People may 'feel'
more peaceful on a vegan diet, but in my experience this is simply because
this diet is less assertive (e.g. some might 'feel' more peaceful just letting
the bullies kick them rather than standing up and fighting), and there is less
digestive work (functioning of internal organs directly affects your mental
experience).  However, assertiveness will actually bring one true peace and
work is grounding and eating animals when you need to is self-love and
restores instincts for self-protection.  That's my experience.  I've just
added dried ostrich to my diet which I eat while I'm stretching (intensely
lately), which seems to help with my recovery/healing from this practice.  You
just have to feel out your own instincts and stay open to constant changes and
that you are currently making mistakes...

The vegetarian movement is big these days because modern beef is so unnatural
and far from nature that it's too out of balance for the human body to deal
with.  Also, the space aliens, working with a man named Gil-Bar On and top-
notch people in world governments, are trying to make humans passive so that
they can overthrow the world in 2009 ;).
