Guest guest Posted February 27, 2002 Report Share Posted February 27, 2002 Hello, Paula, I am feeling for you! Sorry, haven't been on line lately. And everyone else out there who is ill. My belief is different from some of the other rawfooders, I do believe (Annette), that we can " catch " a cold. I believe that it's like everything else in life. Why some people get hit by a car walking across the street, while other are daredevils and live long lives. Why some smoke their whole like and never seem to suffer any major illnesses. The world is full of " undesirable " things, sickness,heartache,trauma, drama, death, people who don't like us, people who are very much like us (often the same people) I believe all of these things are opportunities in disguise. Opportunities for change! Yes, I believe viruses exist and bacteria too, they are there for us if we feel we need to bring them in our life. Like the ever looming threat of danger, illness is there for us. The quickest way out of these situations is first to understand this is happening to bring about a change. Are you the type of person who only rest when you are sick? then you just needed a rest. Try to do it next time without the illness. Do you feel " sick " inside where no one can see and feel you need to create it externally, so people can see how you really feel? Are you one of those people who takes care of others and you feel it should be your turn. Maybe your parents only paid attention to you when you were sick and you feel you are in need of attention. Or you only allowed your self to be self nurturing during times of illness, and thus, you have illness. Are you reliving an old pattern? I have found that people often repeat the same scenarios over and over in their life, and in their many lives. Each " undesirable " is a reminder, a " wake-up call " , a way to help pull you out of the perpetual cyclical pattern and get a new perspective. Because, like it or not, most people do NOT initiate change when thinks are " good " . To avoid illness, and other undesirables, you need to eliminate their need to be their. By being very proactive. Dig deep within, ever probing, ever changing, ever looking without a " reason " (like illness). Keep one step ahead. I believe holistically. We can use food, just like all other things in existence on this earth, to create what we need to fulfill our personal journeys, what ever they are. Food is our self prescribed medicine. Whether it's a tub of ice cream for heartache or a juice fast for intestinal rest. Maybe it's time to step back and reevaluate what you learned and make changes. What role has illness played in your life? What role has food played in your life? What role have YOU played in your life? I believe, and have experienced spontaneous healing, illness and physical pain. It exist! We create it and we can, no DO, end it. We, of course, also, more often than not, perpetuate it. Food is only one factor, necessary, but not the solution in it's self. Now for Paula, if you are still suffering. I suggest: Network chiro (or cranial sacral) Lots of steam, with camphor,euch,menthol,peppermint oils Sauna (drink drink drink) Look at your tongue- is it deep red or pale? coated? deep red- juice cucumbers, parsley, cilantro, celery/ or watermelon juice pale- ginger, ceyanne, garlic/ or pineapple juice get in touch with emotional issues look for patters and possible avenues of change listen to your body, despite request or expectations of others. Strawberries have a natural pain killing effect Valerian, will help to get some sleep Eliminate in everyway (physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritual) Movement, what ever feels good, be creative ** fever for at least three days left undisturbed will kill parasites within** Happy healing, embrace it for the opportunity it is, Zita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2002 Report Share Posted February 27, 2002 I have really good luck with the fizzie drink packets of Emer'gen-C whenever I get sick. I take two of them at a time several times a day and for me it works the best.... maybe cause it's assimilated well and has some Bs and minerals with the vit. C. Terri introducing myself... new to the list. not yet a raw eater but moving that direction, and I do live in Seattle.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2002 Report Share Posted February 27, 2002 amy,dear, as you probably noticed, several people have had the same problems recently, nothing unusual, spring cleaning, detoxification stuff... so be a good girl, and love your body so much that you will stay out of the way, this means getting in bed,drinking nothing but clean distilled water, close your eyes at all time, shut out the outside with its noises as much as you can, and stay in bed,getting out only for very necessary reasons, and sleep as much as you can and/or keep your eyes closed when not sleeping, this fasting method is the best for you , anything else is extra for your body, and it is part of the good old interventionist mentality, your pocketbook won't be needed anymore, ever... so go ahead, and heal yourself, it's easy,stay warm and happy,attila --- Amy Woidtke <red_shiva wrote: > looking for some healing help. been sick over a week > now with varying symptoms. > began as sore throat/ear ache/body aches > tapered down to sore throat/larengitis > now its sore throat/larengitits/coughing plus i woke > up with one of my eyes sealed shut with not normal > eye secretion. > > i was home all last week. ive already missed a week > of work. im so frustrated. > ive rested, ive done liquids, wellness formula (cept > i stopped taking it last week), echinacea/c... > today im going to super dose on garlic and see bout > getting those wellness things down again (they are > huge and taste gross). > > anything else? me and my pocketbook have had enough! > amy > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Peace of Time > Home & Office Organization / Home & Pet Sitting > Complimentary 1-hour consultation! > (206) 285-8058 > - > RawSeattle > RawSeattle > Wednesday, February 27, 2002 12:42 AM > [RawSeattle] Digest Number 223 > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
