Mind over body (WAS: Constipation)

[Guest guest]

Hi Sally,

 

This response may seem a bit " out there " for some. In our Path of Health

Community, we had a young man (about 18 months at the time) whose mom

reported that he'd been experiencing constipation for more than a year. Now

this child was entirely breast fed ... so what was the problem?

 

I use an approach I call Dynamic Self-Discovery to explore and rewrite our

subconscious beliefs ( " programming " ). We gave this a try ... it turned out

that this lovely baby had been witness, more than a year earlier, to a

rather heated argument between mom and dad. Mom was holding baby throughout

that entire argument, so baby could physically feel and energetically sense

at close range all of mom's feelings ... fears, etc. And baby made a

" decision " to protect himself and began " holding it all in " . Quite

literally.

 

I did one brief piece of work on behalf of this young man, and he has pooped

generously and regularly ever since. Who would have thunk it?

 

There is a tendency in the mainstream to pooh-pooh the relationship between

food and health. And there is an opposite tendency, in the RF world and

elsewhere, to overemphasize the role of diet in health, effectively to

pooh-pooh or at least minimize the role of other factors . So I offer two

ideas:

 

1. The cause of your constipation is dietary. From your brief message,

below, we have no information about what you eat ... " going raw " describes

nothing at all ... and it is possible that your version of a raw diet is

quite constipating. Also, we have no information about you. For example, if

you are overweight, then your system is always dehydrated which could

contribute to this situation.

 

2. The cause of your constipation is not dietary, in which case we might

explore emotional and/or other causes.

 

Back to you!

 

Best,

Elchanan

[Raw Food] Constipation

 

 

Has anyone here had trouble with constipation, even after going raw? I would

have assumed this would resolve that issue, but it sure has not yet. Hmmm...

 

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Sally
