Medications & Raw Food Diet

[Guest guest]

Hi Trish,

 

I appreciate your sense of discouragement. Did you see the post from Jim

Porter that I shared last week, about things unfolding over time. Have faith

in your own choices here, give it time. You've just begun opening a whole

new world for yourself.

 

Might help if you told us what medications you are talking about, and what

drove you to begin eating them.

 

I do suggest, as a first step here, that you remove yourself from the

illusion that you are " taking " them and begin to tell yourself the truth,

namely, that you are eating them. Then you can ask yourself whether you

consider them food. (And you've already made your answer abundantly clear, I

believe.)

 

This does NOT mean I am suggesting that you just stop taking any meds

willy-nilly. Depends what, for how long, how much, for what purpose, and so

forth.

 

Best,

Elchanan

[Raw Food] Medications & Raw Food Diet

 

 

Greetings. I hope to be able to contribute to this group one day. Being a

" newbie " I am just learning so I don't have much to add right now. But just

wanted to thank you for this interesting and active group and thank you for

ur helpful responses to my previous questions.

 

I am not in very good health and I am now on several medications that I

finally--after resisting medications whenever possible--gave in and began

taking some medications that may help me with different conditions.

 

My question today is: How badly are these medications going to work against

my raw food diet in improving my overall health?

 

I am not fully raw yet--and actually the medications help me get out of bed

so I can shop, exercise and make myself healthy salads etc-- and therefore I

am better able to do the raw food diet. But I am feeling discouraged

because these medications are disgusting to me and I know they are polluting

my body. One med I take actually is giving me skin tags whenever I take it.

I know that is NOT good.

 

So on one hand I am improving my health with raw food diet and polluting my

body and health at the same time?? Your thoughts on this would be

appreciated.

 

Trish
