Health or the inner life.

[Guest guest]

G'day Raws,<br><br>I must admit I am very pleased

to be part of this raw group.<br><br>Sometimes I

have sailed close to the wind and you haven't kicked

me out.<br><br>And so I ask myself what am I doing

here?<br><br>My first response is that I am here for my health. I

hope to cure my very high blood pressure.<br><br>I

think there is a deeper reason, just on the edge of

consciousness.<br><br>I've always known that I have an inner life that is so

easily interupted by work or friends or

worries.<br><br>Oddly enough, but perhaps not so oddly to you,

interrupted by food.<br><br>In negotiating through the world

of work and family, I've needed to keep my inner

life alive but at the same time suppress it so that I

could earn a living and get on with people.<br><br>I

have used food, cooked food, to manage my inner

life.<br><br>I have always known that to open up my inner life

like a lotus flower, I would need to give up cooked,

fatty, high protein food.<br><br>And of course Raw

provides the answer.<br><br>Victor.

& gt; & gt; & gt;I hope to cure my very high blood

pressure.<br><br>I believe hypertension is easy to be gotten rid of.

A recent study showed that thereputic water fasting

reversed high blood pressure very quickly.<br>--note water

fasting should be supervised--<br><br>Salt which is not

required in our diets is a risk factor for high blood

pressure and should be minimised.<br><br>Exercise will

also lower blood pressure.<br><br>I can't remember for

sure but I believe fat is another factor.<br><br>Blake
