Health as a matter of choice (WAS: A couple of questions...I'm new to raw foods!)

[Guest guest]

Hi Joysain,

 

I'd like to offer another interpretation regarding what you share here. Your

approach is actually making the TOTAL transition much longer, harder, and

less likely ever to be completed.

 

Our bodies do not react differently to this diet. Rather, our bodies have

different cleansing requirements, based upon whatever we have done in the

past. What we experience is not primarily caused by the diet. Quite the

contrary, it is what we REMOVE from our diet that unleashes the cleansing

and restorative resources of our system.

 

What you are really saying is that is you choose to remove fewer harmful

substances from your diet, you feel more comfortable. I mean no judgment, I

do not say such a choice is " right " or " wrong " in any sense. I mean only to

clarify what you are actually choosing. For you are choosing to toxify your

system, only at a slower rate than in the past.

 

Also, if you are experiencing " massive mood swings ... violent tendencies

and moments of complete irrationality " , then I suggest that nondietary

aspects of your health may benefit from some serious attention.

 

Also, you describe nothing about your larger lifestyle with respect to items

such as rest, activity, work, financial health, and so forth. By focusing so

heavily upon diet, you run the risk of misdirecting your perceptions

(biasing or skewing your own awareness) and therefore your choices, and

ultimately you run the risk of never achieving the health you seek.

 

Just a perspective.

Hi

I agree completly. I started out at 100% raw and was sick within 2 weeks.

There was too much toxin in my body for me to cope with this and continue to

be civil to my family. So I cut back to 50% raw, 50% veg. and am working

my way back. For me detox was and still even at this level is harsh. I am

literally allergic to my own sweat because of the toxin's that are being

released. I have had massive moodswings, and violent tendences and moments

of complete irrationality. Muscle spasms, abdominal cramps, and swolen

lymph nodes. None of which the doc. could explain until I told her of my

diet change. She checked me out on what I am eating and approved of my

choices pointing out that I need to eat enough iron...lol.

 

The point is each of our bodies will react diffrently to this diet and each

of us must make this life change for ourselves and our bodies. We are

unique and can not mass market what is good for the individual.

That is part of the whole point.

 

Thanks
