Re: [Raw Food] More backpacking ?'s - natural sunscreen & bug

repellant???

Hi Shari,

I have found that this not true for me yet. I am much more resilient but I

still burn. I have been 100% raw for more than 6 months. Maybe cause my ph

is not always in balance?

Greetings Minnie and all,

How long one has been eating RF, one's health coming into it, and in

particular the approach to RF one is taking (what one is actually eating)

significantly influence the body's vital response capacity in every respect.

WRT sun exposure, Shari is eating a high-water, low-fat diet consisting of

fruits and greens, either exclusively or nearly so. This diet supports her

system in ways that no other diet of which I am aware can do; so it is not

surprising that her system responds with great resilience, and quickly so,

to increased sun exposure.

Minnie, as much as anything, the solution for you is time, patience. Take

your reacclimation process to sunlight somewhat slowly. Begin during

non-midday hours. It's better to go out twice for 1/2 hour each than once

for an hour straight, at first. This gives your body more opportunity to

recover from an exposure (rest), then respond, then be ready for the next

exposure. It breaks up the response load into smaller increments, allowing

your system to adapt more easily and therefore more successfully.

ANYTHING you put on your skin as " protection " interferes with this

reacclimation process. So if your goal is to be able to enjoy as much

sunshine as you wish, comfortably, then let go of all props and work back

into it slowly. Work with your diet, over time. Attend to your rest, for

most of what people call " cleansing " and " healing " occurs during rest, not

during activity.

Best to all,

Elchanan
