I think it's interesting to note that vegans will often times have higher blood protein levels than meat eaters...https://nutritionfacts.org/video/vegan-protein-status/#:~:text=Despite%2020%25%20less%20protein%20in,bodies%20of%20those%20eating%20vegan.
Apparently, low protein levels are more indicative of inflammation in your body, which PMR is all about. Most health professionals agree that we Americans eat far too much protein, especially from animal sources. And we have the most chronic illness in the world, despite spending a lot more money on healthcare!!! Bottom line is that we need to take charge of our own health and not depend on doctors to find a "cure" for our ailments. Those "cures" are usually medications that come with multiple side effects.

I am on the same diet and started studying anti inflammatory eating patterns when my PMR was active.
Now with psoriatic arthritis I know how I feel if I veer
off course. Traditional medicine is way behind in dietary
education. Processed foods and sugary fast foods are
what’s ailing us. I do miss bourbon!
