Organs and Lipoma Diet
Organ feeding rules, TCVM protein temperatures, and the anti-inflammatory diet for [[Hershey]]'s lipomas. Part of [[Nutrition]]; the applied plan is in [[Hershey Health Protocol]].
Organ 10% rule
Only LIVER has the 10% cap (Vitamin A accumulates — fat-soluble). It's the best source of A, B12, folate, iron, copper.
- Kidney — caution only in very high amounts (B12, selenium, iron, zinc).
- Spleen — rich; loose stools if overdone.
Muscle meats classified as "organs" but with NO accumulation risk — feed freely:
- Heart — one of the best ingredients: TAURINE, CoQ10, B vitamins, iron, zinc. Can be a primary protein.
- Gizzard, lung, tripe — fine in higher quantities (tripe also brings probiotics + enzymes).
TCVM protein temperatures (Hershey runs hot → lean cooling)
| Temp | Proteins |
|---|---|
| Cooling (best for Hershey) | Duck, fish/salmon, rabbit, venison |
| Neutral (fine) | Beef, turkey, pork |
| Warming (limit as staple) | Chicken, lamb |
Goal is an overall cooling trend, not a perfect every-meal rule. Be strict about avoiding warming proteins only if he shows active heat signs (excess panting, red eyes, always thirsty, seeking cold surfaces). Fish/salmon is the highest-priority protein to add next — cooling + best omega-3s.
Lipoma management diet
Avoid: sunflower/safflower/corn/soybean/vegetable oil (high omega-6, inflammatory); corn/wheat/soy; peas/lentils/chickpeas/canola; BHA/BHT/ethoxyquin/artificial colors/sugar; high-carb foods. Most gently cooked brands fail here (pea protein, canola, synthetic vitamins).
