I live in Istanbul, Turkey, which is the city usually referred as City of Cats. My family and I have 7 stray cats living with us right now. When we started living with our first cat, I realized there is no difference between our and a sheep, cow or a chicken, and I felt like a hypocrite. This made me watch videos & documentaries and read documents about living a life without harming any animal. And here I am as a happy, healthy vegan…

After high stress and a diet of high salt and fats and being obese for many years, in 2016 I had four major strokes, in which I lost my ability to speak, drive and even ride my bike. I was told by all doctors I would never be able to do any of those activeites again, ever. Several weeks ago I began driving, which is making me free again after eight long years. I had bugun biking two years ago. Im off most of the 16 pills a day I was prescribed. My voice is accually returning. During my fight back I suffered 3 major setbacks. A bike accident and broken collar bone, two years ago a broken leg, and most recently a broken back. Im back to biking, and driving due to what the famous Linda Middlesworth taught me soon after my strokes. ” It’s the Food! It’s the Food! It’s the Food!!! I feel I’m truly, BACK FROM THE EDGE. You can also do this. Just try!
