Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 robbee Thank you for sharing your stop smoking protocol. I am currently treating 3 patients with varied results (all smoked 1 pack/day): 1 stopped almost immediately, 1 cut back to 4-5 cigarettes per day and the last cut back to 10/day. Will give your treatment a try on the two who are still smoking. I did have an instructor who mentioned he used LI 5 in his stop smoking treatments. Could be the same principle, yes? And, now for my two cents... I agree with you regarding processed food. I have seen family and friends present with all kinds of disharmonies d/t their 'American' grocery habits. The sad part being they believe, on some level, they are eating a well-balanced and healthy diet. My mother just passed away and one of the listed reasons for her death was malnutrition. Food was available and no one went hungry, it was there was little nutritional value. And, yes, there were other reasons ---- smoking and she had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. I do think we shall be seeing more mysterious diseases d/t the way most foods are processed. Not too sure the reason the French are considered healthy even with their diet of meats, cheese, rich foods is because of the wine (although I shall continue to have my 3-4 glasses per week just in case. :-D ), but more likely because their foods are not over-processed and they generally eat foods from the local area. In addition to above mentioned eating style being closer to nature, I assume the energetics of the farmers are passed on to their produce and livestock as part of the raising process just as the energetics between acupuncturists and patients are part of the treatment. Think about the difference in energy between regular grocery stores (corporate farms, pesticides, canning factories), organic stores, and farmers markets. And there is the taste and/or how your body feels after eating foods from each supplier. just a few thoughts. And now I have to check on my dinner and wine --- yes, it is organic. to your health. kathleen ======================================================= TashiDelay wrote: Message: 9 Wed, 28 Apr 2004 02:35:41 -0800 " Laura G " <heylaurag RE: Digest Number 444 Yeah, most of my health problems started when I was a vegetarian. I too find that the more meat I eat the better I feel. I wish it wasn't true, because in my heart I am a vegetarian. I try to buy cruelty-free meat. >> I have been a vegetarian (no animals, birds or fish) for over 25 years. I am strong and healthy, the diet suits my nature, it is not a diet for everyone. I would never reccommend that my patients eat as i do. I will however encourage them to eat 'real' foods --the stuff not found in boxes! Becoming a vegetarian is an organic process that should ideally happen from the inside out. It should not be an idea or concept that is forced upon an individual. But for some of us, it is the perfect diet. just my two cents robbee Membership requires that you do not post any commerical, swear, religious, spam messages,flame another member or swear. http://babel.altavista.com/ and adjust accordingly.
