Is 100% RF a Requiirement? (WAS: Our Potential for Health (pH) (WAS: Why not stop using products?)

[Guest guest]

Hi Belinda,

 

Thanks for sharing this wonderful description of your experience ... I have

always understood Hounds to be among the smelliest, so your story seems

refreshing, after a fashion. And I agree about the breeding, when we

hybridize our animals, we get subanimals, in a sense. Were we to release

these animals into Nature, most would probably perish.

 

You asked:

 

My question is. Does one need to be totally raw for this internal

cleansing?

 

No one can honestly answer this question with perfect certainty. So instead,

I'll share what I have come to believe.

 

Principle: We cannot reduce the level of foreign matter in our bodies by

adding foreign matter to our bodies.

 

To my knowledge, the human body interprets at least a portion of all cooked

" foods " as foreign matter. For example, cooked proteins, fats, and

carbohydrates are all damaged, at least to some degree. So as long as we

continue to consume cooked foods with any frequency, we shall always be

adding foreign matter to our bodies, and our bodies shall always be

interrupting cleansing of the past to deal with cleaning in the present, so

to speak.

 

And whenever that interruption occurs, at least some degree of cleansing

output also occurs, which we may observe as physical output and odors.

 

Does this make sense?

 

Best,

Elchanan

[Raw Food] Re: Our Potential for Health (pH) (WAS: Why not stop

This is true in my experiences. I began to educate myself on eating raw

after studying and feeding raw to my dogs. The change in them was

significant. Not just physical things, but their whole personality. Some

people spoke of doggie odors practically disappearing, and we all noticed

the change in doggie poo odors and consistency.

 

One of my dogs at the time was a Basset Hound. Anyone that has ever had the

pleasure of owning one or meeting one will tell you that as a breed they are

THE smelliest. All the bathing in the world will not get rid of the hound

dog smell.

 

Though our Basset did continue to have some odor, it was much less on raw.

Bassets are such a " man made " breed, I suspect there are just some things

that nature cannot change about them. Man has modified the dog into the

Basset Hound we see today. Physically, very little about them is natural

for a dog. The same can be said for many of the purebred dogs. The more

bizzare looking and extreme the dog, the more health problems they have and

the more intervention from man is needed to take care of them.

 

But feeding raw did help her health a lot. This dog could acutally dance on

her hind legs for her food. Not easy feat for an old Basset of 13 years.

Sadley, an accident took her from us at 13, but she was still going strong.

Oh and no doggie breath to speak of for any of the 3 dogs, on raw. Not to

mention very clean teeth. They never had to have their teeth cleaned. Oh

and I had very little parasite problems with them. No fleas at all. Ticks

did get on them, but I pulled them off. The ones I missed, never seemed to

cause them a problem. No intestinal worms, unless they ate a wild rabbit or

squirrel that they caught. I stopped using pesticides on them when I began

feeding raw.

 

Anyway, so started my jouney into raw for myself.

 

With this said, I can see where El is coming from about being clean on the

inside makes you clean on the outside as well.

 

My question is. Does one need to be totally raw for this internal

cleansing?
