(continued..)<br><br>I contend that our bodies

are constantly striving for better health in spite of

what we give it to work with. The body adjusts to what

we give it, makes allowances and tolerates much.

Thank God for that because if our bodies were not so

cleverly designed to clean itself out we would all be dead

in short order. <br><br>Here’s my point. Health, to

a great degree, is a matter of choice. If we

provide our bodies with quality materials to use and live

a healthy lifestyle we WILL BE healthy or at least

move in that direction. That’s the law of

life.<br><br>As you mentioned there is great confusion on how to

reach health. There are so many experts and what they

say sounds good to groups of people. Have you seen

the commercial for “Cheat and Eat”? That’s just what

people WANT to believe in… eat anything and everything

you want and all you have to do is take their little

pill and you can “cheat” nature and not pay the price.

Isn’t that what all of us really want? To do anything

we want and not pay a price for it? I think it would

be more profitable for people to spend more time

understanding what it is that their body needs to be healthy

and providing it rather than thinking up new ways to

cheat. Don’t you agree?<br><br>You mentioned that you

know of people who have tried eating raw and got sick.

They then went back to their normal diet and felt

better. I hear this ALL the time. There are lots of

questions to ask! Did they eat ORGANIC? Was it FRESH? Was

it CLEAN? Are they sure? Did they combine it wrong

with other foods? When in the day did they eat it? Did

they have beverages with it? Did they overeat? There

are just so many questions to ask that it is almost

impossible to assess why it was disagreeable to them without

actually being there when they ate. IF they did everything

right then my standard answer is that they are SUPPOSE

to feel sick afterwards. That’s right! By eating the

easy to digest food their body can now work on getting

rid of the garbage it has been waiting patiently to

get rid of for years. That’s why they feel sick. It’s

the body finally getting the chance to clean house

because you finally stopped feeding it junk! The other

possibility is that the body is addicted to its normal diet

foods and so it is upset at not getting it. We are

addicted to sugars, breads and stimulants. When our body

is use to getting them everyday it just freaks out

when we don’t give it and instead grab a piece of

fruit. The sugar in fruit is NOT the same as the sugar

in candy or table sugar. Fruit sugar is extremely

easy for the body to digest and is exactly what the

body needs.<br><br>It’s a real shame that people

experience these bad feeling when they make a healthy change

in their diet but that’s just the way it works for

most. They have to be aware that this is GOING to

happen ahead of time and have guidance to get though it.

And I guess that’s part of the reason why so few

people reach excellent health. To reach that elusive

goal takes guts to move away from popular belief,

acceptance of personal responsibility for one’s health, and

the education and drive to get over the hurdles in

the road. Yes, it takes all this and more… but the

results are worth it!<br><br>-OrionsDad
