Monodiet as first step toward restoring systemic health (WAS: More Candida questions.....)

[Guest guest]

Hi Laura, and thanks so much for writing. I hear the frustration in your

" voice " , and I empathize with you. It seems that all you really want is to

feel good and enjoy life ... sounds like it should be available, yes? Yet

for so many of us, it remains elusive.

 

So many times, I have found the " unbelievable " to be correct, I no longer

really use the word very often.

 

Yes, this approach will help greatly ... and please keep in mind that I've

presented this week of monoeating to Dobby as a " first step " . Each person

who is presently struggling has spent years creating current conditions. We

can accomplish much change in a short time ... and then other things unfold

over a longer timeframe.

 

I'll be staying with this discussion for awhile, to help people " get to the

other side " , so to speak. I'm going to offer other suggestions, and you are

most welcome to participate. I encourage you to order Doug Graham's book,

The 80/10/10 Diet, as Dobby has done ... You can order the book directly

from Doug via his Web site at www.foodnsport.com/811. I realize it costs a

bit (~ USD 30), but this way we directly support our own teachers, which I

regard as a form of paying our own way, creating our own resources upon

which to rely. After all, independence and self-reliance are probably goals

we all share, in one form or another.

 

Also, you (whoever participates in this little adventure) may encounter some

emotional churning from within. I encourage you to approach anything like

that, and in fact this entire conversation, from a place of curiosity and

wide-eyed wonderment. This is a part of our birthright--we are all born with

such a sense of wonderment, and part of regaining our health involves

bringing that sense back into the foreground of our conscious awareness.

 

I would love for you to have much more knowledge, a broader base upon which

to understand some of what I may suggest during the days and weeks ahead.

Therefore, I invite you (and anyone " listening " ) to enjoy a few of our free

learning teleconferences. These are NOT pitches to get you to sign up for

anything ... except for a healthful way of living.

Health.zip

(this one is a zip file, containing both the audio recording and a

handout)

 

These offer a real focus, found in almost no place I've very looked, upon

some of the fundamental paradigms we hold about health, and the shifts

available to us at the level of our beliefs. (And of course, they provide

much wonderful information, as well.)

 

Yes, they are free. The Path of Health Community is a service community ...

we do things like this! That's why I'm making (not spending) the time to

share together like this.

 

Also, I offer these not in place of, but in addition to, Doug's book. The

coverage is complementary.

 

Best to all,

Elchanan

RE: [Raw Food] More Candida questions.....

 

i have been struggling with a combination of yeast and bacterial vaginosis

since january. i am about to go crazy with all the different

treatments...ranging from purely " natural " to full on prescription

medications...both oral and vaginal....not to mention NO SEX!!!!!!!!!

 

it is unbelievable that a simple monodiet could cure this problem. but i am

willing to try anything at this point. i'm wondering if this would work for

the bacterial infection as well.

 

i too have been told for as long as i can remember to stay away from fruit

if you have yeast infections (my mom's a diabetic, so she says this a lot).

but one thing i know for certain is that most things i " learned " growing up

were wrong. so i don't doubt that this could be wrong as well. we'll see.

 

thanks!!!

laura

Dobby,

If you actually want to get past this, then go on a monodiet of bananas only

for a week. Eat only organic, ripe bananas, eat whenever you feel hunger and

until you feel " full " (I realize you need to relearn the distinction between

satiation and what most people call " full " .)

 

That is ALL you need to. As an alternative, you can do the same with

watermelon. One food--a sweet fruit--for one week, then write again. Oh, and

leave some extra time for resting, you may need it!

 

Best,

Elchanan
