Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Ron, I am a podiatrist and there is no lesion or eruptions on my feet or back just chronic itching. However I did use an antifungal cream on my feet which did not help. I do believe my problem is either from Candida die off or histamine release from a change in my diet. I am going to Optimum Health Institute on 12/26 for two weeks. My first week there I plan on following their " hypo " program (no fruit or carrots or beets)to see if that alleviates my back itching. Plus the environment is 100% stress free. Darcia rlmftw <rlmftw wrote: I recommend you try some anti-fungal cream on your foot. I had a pretty bad case of chronic itching on the bottom of my right foot, so I bought a tube of athlete's foot cream and put all over my foot before going to bed. Then I put my foot in a plastic bag to keep the lotion on it all night. A week of these treatments cured the itching on the bottom of my foot. It had nothing to do with my diet.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Hi Darcia, I would be most interested in hearing how your visit goes, I suffer from low blood sugar and fruit and some vegetables are a big no-no for me. I have tried beans and lentils as well with horrible results. I would love to be 100% raw vegan, but without cooked eggs and chicken breast I suffer tremendously. Good luck with your visit and please keep us posted with your results. Have a wonderful holiday season! Deborah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Valerie, I have the " Cellerciser " rebounder I purchased from David Hall, Enterprises, about four years ago. I got it due to what I had read years ago in one of Norman Walker's books, I forget which one now though. Quite a large number of raw foodists have a rebounder, from what I am hearing. It is one of the most natural and completely effective ways to exercise the body, every system the body is composed of, as well as, every cell of the body. if you are thinking about buying one, I recommend not buying an inexpensive one as these break down the ankles eventually, which then breaks down the . . . . . ..so on and so forth. Remember the old song, the ankle bone is connected to the _________ bone and the ____________bone is connected to the_____________ bone. Forgive me, I have not had my tea yet!!! Good morning, Sasha ---- rawfood 12/22/04 16:29:40 rawfood Re: [Raw Food] Re:Debate(raw foods and calm) That could very well be. I'm actually sort of excited to see what the next years of (hopefully unbiased!) research will reveal. You never know! I know some folks encourage rebounding for assisting the lymph system in doing its job; anyone here do that? I have a rebounder, but have not used it very much at this point. Peace, Valerie sunflowersupreme <no_reply > wrote: Valerie I read once that the lymphatic system is unable to work efficiently in a body filled with processed and denatured foods. I wonder if that system works up and starts working aggressively to clean the body when we transition to better nutrition. Maybe that is what causes the itching. The lymphatic system does expel of waste through the blood stream. I dunno, just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Thanks, Sasha, you made me laugh! Now I can't get that song out of my head!! One rebounder that I've seen recommended elsewhere recently is the Needak; I've heard they have one that folds in half so it is easy to travel with. I'll look into the one you recommended as well!

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Yes Valerie I have heard of that. I had considered buying one but I live in a condo and don't know how that would effect he neighbors beneath me. Do you think step aerobics or training on the stairmaster would have a similar effect? ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Deborah I've heard a lot of people complain that excessive fruits bother them if they have hypoglycemia or similar problems. When I eat fruit in moderation I'm fine but have noticed a drop in mood or slight headache when I eat too much of them. Is hypoglycemia something that a raw food diet will eventually cure or will a person always be limited to the amount of fructose they can handle even as raw foodists?

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Sorry about the ditty Valerie. It's been four years and I haven't been able to get it out of my head yet. Anyway, I do believe that the Needak and the Cellerciser are one in the same, except for price. I paid $350 when they first came out. The difference lays in the person that buys the distributorship and how they advertise them. Mine weighs about 20-25lbs. and believe me they are not that easy as they suggest to move around. Even folded in half in the case, it it huge. I keep mine out, and if I have to move it from room to room, I roll it on its side. I really do love mine though, and if I had to make a cart on wheels for it to get it to where I wanted it, I would do it. I just purchased a Quest Easy Shaper from Walmart as well. (Walmart was about $100 off of regular price on the internet.) That should arrive between Christmas and New Years. If I am not mistaken, someone on this list mentioned that one. Anyway, let's see. . . .5 apples, 2 bananas, a couple peaches, . . . . .LOL Sasha ---- rawfood 12/23/04 09:02:15 rawfood Re: [Raw Food] Re:Debate(raw foods and calm) Thanks, Sasha, you made me laugh!

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Probably; one thing you might do is leave a note for your neighbors telling them you plan to do some exercising that could be a little noisy, and find out when they are usually away from home, and see if you can adjust your time around their schedule. Don't know if this is reasonable or not, just an idea. Peace, Valerie sunflowersupreme <no_reply > wrote: Yes Valerie I have heard of that.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 I do not know if a raw food diet with cure/help low blood sugar. I have difficulty with one piece of fruit and limited amounts of some vegetables, that is why I asked Darcia to keep us posted with her results at the clinic. Have a wonderful holiday weekend!
