That doesn't>mean that your super-intelligent body is craving harmful substances,>but that it has adjusted to the poison. Unfortunately, our poor>bodies have been forced to adjust to so many thousands of harmful>circumstances, that they can scarcely distinguish the healthy from>the harmful.

The most popular classes today>are not "Is there Life on Mars?" or "How to Become a Millionaire">but those that teach the most fundamental behaviors, like how to>eat, how to sleep, how to run properly, how to relax, how to stand>straight, how to sit correctly, how to see without glasses, how to>exercise, how to spontaneously express emotions, how much water to>drink, how to breathe, even how to go to the bathroom. There was a>time that we knew all these things naturally.>>I try to imagine what a natural human being looks like and I>cannot. Every one of us is living with thousands of adjustments>that our body has succumbed to in order for us to survive. We pay>for each one of them with our health and life span. The way to>better health lies in the unburdening of our organisms from having>to adjust. However small, every effort towards natural living makes>a difference. For example, eating more fresh fruits and vegetables,>sleeping with an open window at night, wearing clothes made from>natural fibers, drinking pure water, exercising, getting sunlight>regularly, not suppressing sneezing, yawning and stretching,>reducing stress, turning off electrical devices when not using them>to rest from harmful electric fields, reducing use of soap and>chemicals, buying organic produce, and thousands more, including>giving your microwave to your enemy.>>However, never introduce new changes into your lifestyle just>because some authority recommended it. Always observe the reactions>your body has to those changes. If you feel better, continue. For>example, I used to have a habit of eating before bedtime. When I>tried to eat just two hours earlier, I immediately began to sleep>more soundly. My body showed me that this was a good change, and I>adopted this new habit. I realize that these little changes add a>great deal of health and enjoyment to my life. Sometimes our body>has adjusted to harmful habits so deeply, that it takes longer>periods of time for the health benefits to surface. For example, I>used to like to sleep on a soft mattress. Once, I read an article>describing how healthy it is to sleep on a hard surface. I tried>sleeping on the floor, but had such an achy back the next morning,>that I immediately quit. Many years later, I went hiking in the>Cascadian Mountains and slept on the ground for one month. In the>beginning, I had an achy back for a week. Then my sleep became so>sweet, as never before in all my life. Since then I have always>slept on a hard surface simply because soft beds make my back achy.>>I encourage you to follow your own intuition, your own feeling, and>your own experience. I do not want you to do anything because I, or>somebody else who is considered an expert, say so. We are each>unique individuals with different body needs. We need to be our own>best expert.>>Let's do an experiment. If you went to an organic fruit stand right>now and picked out one fruit, what would it be? A pear, apple,>orange, fig, papaya, banana, grape, avocado, mango or cherry? Is>everyone reading this article picking the same fruit? Probably not.>We are all individuals. Your body knows what you need. Whatever>fruit you choose, that is what your body is ordering from you today.>Your job is to get your organism what it needs. Tomorrow your body>may want the same fruit or something new. Let your body lead.>>Let's imagine that a piece of dust is falling into your right eye.>Which eye will blink? Your right eye, of course. Your left eye won't>blink by mistake, because your body never makes mistakes. We have>been created perfectly. When we underestimate the wisdom of nature,>and stop listening to the messages our bodies give us, we get into>trouble. For example, what is the standard response to fever in our>culture? Aspirin. I trust that if my body has created a fever, than>I need a fever. When the body creates diarrhea, then I'm glad to be>saving money on a colonic irrigation. As I write these lines, I>become fascinated with the fact that I used to have these, and other>symptoms regularly, but since I adopted a more natural lifestyle, I>haven't been sick for many years now. Taking medication to stop>fever, diarrhea, or other symptoms would work against the wisdom of>the body. Our body never makes mistakes. If we listen carefully to>our bodies, we can all know what we need to do to feel better.>>I would like to share with you a story that illustrates how I first>began to listen to my body. Ten years ago, when my family had only>been on raw food for two months, my children began craving different>fruits. Sergei asked for mangoes and blueberries and Valya asked for>olives, grapefruits and figs. If gave Sergei a mango, he would eat>it right away and immediately want another. Once, I bought him a>whole flat of mangoes thinking that would last him a week. He sat>down and ate the entire flat in one day, peals and all. He then>said, "I wish there were more mangoes!" The same thing happened>with blueberries. I bought him a two-pound bag of blueberries and he>ate it in one sitting. Valya liked figs. She'd ask for fresh figs,>dry figs, black figs or green figs. She could never have enough>figs; she also liked eating olives and grapefruits.>>That summer, we visited Dr. Bernard Jenson, a world famous clinical>nutritionist. I asked Dr. Jensen what Sergei needed to eat to help>him recover from diabetes. Dr. Jensen looked in his books and told>me that the best thing for Sergei to eat would be more mangoes and>blueberries. I was shocked. I then asked him what Valya needed to>eat to help her asthma. He said, "figs, olives, and grapefruits." I>couldn't believe his words. I said, "that's exactly what my children>have been asking for!" Dr. Jensen then asked me what my cravings>were. I told him that I didn't know because I always ate what was on>sale.>>Dr. Jensen helped me to understand that our bodies naturally crave>foods that aid healing. My children's bodies communicated with them>sooner than did my poor confused adult body. My husband and I>started to pay more attention to what our bodies were telling us,>and within several weeks, we became aware of our own cravings.>>Today, everyone in my family eats slightly differently, even when>sitting at the same table. I know that when we develop an appetite>for certain healthy things, (not coffee and doughnuts) it is our>body asking for particular nutrients. The human body is more>beautiful and wise than we can comprehend.
