For Elchanon on my alkaline life! - Kay.x

[Guest guest]

If I could speak to you in this moment you wouldnt get a word in

edgeways (!) - It is like talking to God (well I am of course..) You

tell us exactely what we need to hear - Thank YOU. We ask such simple

questions and you answer in such detail BUT always bringing it back to

natures simplicity.

 

I sent a message to Laurie saying that I was embaressed to expose

certain issues because I have just flipped in a new " program " and

therefore not wanting to be labeled on the past. However, all

inhibitions are lost. If I am to return to U.S and work in the rawfood

movement I must first heal myself and learn about consitancy, AND trust

nature in larger ways!

 

You are right Elchanon, there are huge " gaps " .

Please understand that back in my early days of learning I trained as

Nutritional Therapist but couldnt quite 'get it' with the vit/min

supplements, when I stumbled across Ann Wigmore's books - Later

training at one of her centers. I have since lost much of my rigid

beliefs about the " green theory " but some old habits die hard and much

confusion set in as I have not made things 'right' with myself. (There

has also been some lenghty peroids in hospital adding to a sense of

helplessness/confusion)

I am more interesting in 'mind-programing' than I am on whats good for

me from the outside in; However I had really believed that Gabriel and

there-like MUST be right because, after all he is an M.D?! But now I

understand that it really comes down to what 'program' is being played

in one's mind... After all my dad would say his Doctor MUST be right

 

So anyway; I was fortunate to learn much from Loren and experience

through fasting; Although it has to be said I probably know more on how

to fast than on how to eat!

I do actually, REALLY need to maintain support because my story has

been desperately depleating.

 

So; with reference to chosing fruits I hear you. I intend eventually to

move to a more suitable climate as part of my goal. In the meantime I

will stay off the more acidic fruits including those that border

acidic/sub - and keep them to a minimum.

I can digest your information easily without resistance.

When I have completed my fast will I be able to eat more sub-acid

fruits or will this summer be " early days " ? Remember that I donot have

access to the sweet fruits you speak of except bananas. I love figs,

but I will be lucky to see a tray of RIPE ones in september.

 

RE: Greens

Here I am a little more sceptical. I can see exactely why my digestive

system has suffered on such harsh fibre, but I am showing signs of

mineral depleation.

I have a rocky history of severe anorexia, then bulimia and more

recently binge eating disorder.

Last year hair analysis and urine sampling defined 'serious' chromium,

magnesium, zinc deficiency of which I was encouraged to supplement. I

chose E3live algae instead; but it has to be said that I have not

CONSISTANTLY followed any sensible eating plan in 4 years. (age 341/2)

I have lost alot of hair and some years ago lost the whole lot. There

are other problems, and apparently osteoporosis. It has to be said that

until recently, my emotional turmoil brought me to wish destroying

myself rather than creating health. In actual fact I had origianlly

wanted simply a life on raw food.

 

I really like greens; Lettuces being my least favorite. I am inclined

to eat much smaller salads than raw-fooders I know; Complied of wild

weeds and herbs, some lettuce, buckwheat and sunflower greens (the

latter two only in summer and not in quantities seen in " The Green

School " !)I usually crave some soaked seaweed on salad, but since I

detest salt I have given up on dulse, in favor of nori. Currently I am

restricting it. I then chose one or two types of fruit-veggies. I am

good with cucumbers.

Because I have just gotten back on the program I am inclined to make

one green juice per day. But I know the Nat'Hygiene theory on juice and

seaweed. I will likely near drop this after my fast (The seaweed i drop

only as a " should do " - I like the stuff!)

 

Yesterday I ate:

1 green juice

1x6 banana smoothie with 6 large strawberries

1 pear

1 green bowl green leaves+lettuce + 1 tomato + 1/3rd avocado

1 apple

 

Today I was thinking of omiting the salad (because I dont like it

without avocado, but reducing fat intake to mimimum)

And replacing it with a 8 banana smoothie with possibly grapes and a

green juice near it(I kinda " know " I will want some greens around that)

 

So far I have had

1 green juice

1x6 banana smoothie with 6 large strawberries

1 pear

Its 2.00pm

 

I dislike nuts and donot eat them. I DO like soaked pumpkin/sunflower

seeds + ground flax on a salad sometimes. I am comfortable to give up

flax. Should I completely omit the seeds untill after fasting - then

see how I feel?

My mind has a " program " on essential fatty and amino acids imprinted on

it because of the deficiencies. Candida is a huge problem, but Laurie

has completely shed light on this topic; Information I was totally mis-

informed on previously.

I am usually alot-lot lighter 91-98Lb; but since I have struggled with

binge eating disorder recently - I am 120 Lbs (5ft 5 " )It'll fall off

quickly as it isnt a weight I maintain on sensible eating of any kind.

 

I have a really poor history on gut balance and digestion; Currently

not able to evacuate my bowels without an enema because it is too

painful (hence preparing toward another fast)

I have complete faith in this diet working for me now - Belief is ALL

there is, so My gut will heal also.

 

Can we just help me find some rhythm here.. And learn more of the

beneficial knowledge and less focus(on my part)surrounding what WAS

knowledge !

I am happy to look up old posts at your comand!

This is a bit long - Excuse me.

 

Love in Flow

Elchanan,

 

Could you possibly shed light on Candida causes and cures

for our group? I would be very interested, since it is

supposedly a problem for so many people. Thank you!

 

All the best,
