Reaching for optimal health (WAS: Bored with raw)

[Guest guest]

Hi Janet,

 

I agree with what you share here ... with one big caveat. It's great to " pay

close attention ... " , IF one has the capacity to distinguish what is

available to distinguish. But for most people, I find that the experience of

contrast, brings this capacity to the surface. In other words, for most

people, until they eat awhile without much in the way of recipes, they will

not clearly distinguish just how big the difference can be in how they feel.

Said another way, until people begin to experience their potential, they

have no earthly idea what that potential may be.

 

This is the problem with what some write in this and similar groups. Many of

the contributors mean only well. But until they at least begin to experience

their own potential, they cannot really know what that potential is. And the

advice they share can only lead people into a suboptimal place ... for that

is the only place of which they, themselves, are aware.

 

Best,

Elchanan

Health is a continuum, and optimal health is at one end of that while

death is at the other end. Pay close attention to how the body feels

after eating complicated " recipes " and it will tell you much of what

you need to know. And, as the body moves closer to optimal health,

its vitality is strengthened and such complicated recipes will provoke

a response (drowsiness, fatigue, stomach ache, nausea, etc.). Many

would think people who do NOT display such symptoms after eating

complicated raw recipes are healthier than those exhibiting symptoms.

However, they are failing to realize that such people have

temporarily lost their vital responses. Just as smokers become

tolerant to smoke (don't cough or hack), raw foodists who eat fancy

dishes are tolerant to their brand of raw.

Elchanan,

 

I love the statement below.

 

This is the problem with what some write in this and similar groups. Many of

the contributors mean only well. But until they at least begin to experience

their own potential, they cannot really know what that potential is. And the

advice they share can only lead people into a suboptimal place ... for that

There's a lot of truth behind that
