My 'poor health'? Please, tell me all about this, it is a total surprise, mr 'knows it all' who is all of 22 yo.

I don't know it all and I have never claimed to. There are plenty of people around here, including you, that know much more about chemistry and biology than me. What I do have though is a good sense of reality, common sense and am an analytical person who likes to learn more by questioning things before just taking a persons word on the matter. Some people on here have taken up your regime without asking too many questions, got tests to get some basline biomarkers to see where they started and later to see where ended up. Some people here could take up your regime and may cause them serious health problems... are you that confident that limiting entire food groups is not going to cause harm to anyone here? You don't even ask them to be catious.

How do you know this? The proof if you please, my strength and endurance are not obviously of any value, nor my lack of any kind of flu or colds for over 6 years, that could not be an indication of good health, nor my excellent BF and blood tests- even my thyroid, which after enduring 7000 rads of ionising radiation and is completely normal also doesn't count, but of course none constitutes 'good health in your book, either does it? Nor my perfect teeth and strong gums and bone- means nothing, right?

The problems you experienced in the past should make people catious about your eating regime. Though diet will never prevent all diseases, many people eating the foods that you say are toxic and should not be consumed, are at much advanced ages than you are. You dismiss all old and recent research on how plants are benifial in preventing many age associated diseases, did you ever question your diet once after these health problems in the past?
People that I believe have more of a say on how to live a healthy life are centenarians, particularly from the islands around japan since they have an unusually high number of centenarians and super centenarians. This is what one women ate who reached 116 "she ate a fairly traditional diet of fish, local vegetables and soy products, and drank green tea" - and this sort of diet is something common among those that are living a long time.
Their diet helped them get them to these extreme ages. They are all food groups that you say should be elimated from peoples diet. Read this to see one or two super centenarians diets

What do you know about diet, anyway? How many years have you been on yours?

I have not been doing it that long, I started when I was 20. I know more than the average person but I don't claim to know everything about diet either. Most of what I know about the body and health is self taught using the internet and books such as "Molecular biology of the cell" As I progress through my Biomedical Degree then I'll learn lots more
I am sensible and know enough to keep myself quite healthy. I've asked you before if you would share you lab results (if you have any). Like FBC, Lipids, Glucose, Insulin, CRP, thyroid, renal function, liver function and possibly various level of nutrients. But you say that it's none of my business... and thats right I guess it's not, but since your diet is so good, then why would someone find it so hard to share their lab results. It would atleast show some how well your body is coping with such a radical diet regime and give it more credit?
Most of my grandparents lived a bad lifestyle, high bmi, and smoking all their life.. Yet they still lived upto 85~ . So I don't find it remarkable that you have made it 47 years on this diet. (my Great/grandparents never suffered major diseases years prior to their death (lung cancer))
