In comparison: How are those wild animals doing whose habitat (such as the jungle) has yet to be destroyed by human influence? From the point of view of these spared (so far) wild animals or naturally kept pets, our discussions on diseases or dietary rules must seem absolutely ridiculous. Please take the following with a little bit of humor:

Our closest relatives on earth, the apes and gorillas, but also other animals like rabbits, horses, deer or a herd of cows on a pasture could not care less about the epidemically increasing human diseases and the uncountable dietary rules. Neither do they know their “blood type” nor their “metabolic type”. They have no clue what amount of calories, protein, fat or carbohydrates their daily food contains. They don’t drink gallons of another species’ milk every day, not even pasteurized – at ultra high temperature and homogenized – in order to strengthen their bones. They don’t take any pills or alkaline powders or use Himalaya salt. They are all healthy with the same food, namely grass, wild plants and leaves or prey. And until their genetically preprogrammed deaths, they remain healthy and fit.

When animals are hungry, they eat uncooked, unheated vegetables or other animals, which supposedly are so very difficult to digest, in the evening or even at night – without any digestive problems, constipation, diarrhea, chills or loss in weight. Nether do they know what hypoglycemia is. Nor do they eat according to the five elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), nor to the constitutional Ayurveda teachings or according to the recommendations of F.X. Mayr or Dr. Mercola. The only diseases that are known to wild animals are caused by heat or cold, hunger, injuries or infections – but most of all it is due to humans.

An argument that is often brought against this comparison is that humans have a different digestive system than animals. Now let’s take a good look at those animals that are the most genetically similar to us, the apes (we share 99 % of the same genetic structure!⁸). There are no significant differences in our digestive processes and not even in the biochemistry of our digestive enzymes, the liver function and the relative length of the intestines.
