PM RE: [Raw Food] DONNA - golden opportunity NOW!!!

Elchanon,

 

unfortunately I got your post after I got home tonight and not before I had

lunch. I have to say that whenever I have felt sick to my stomach in the

past I have wanted something either salty, deep fried or spicy because once

I ate it the nausea went away. Today was no exception. I didn't have the

Crispy Chicken Salad from Unos but I did order a buffalo chicken finger

pizza - I ate the chicken and a little of the cheese and left the bread on

the tray. The nausea disappeared within the half hour. I came home and got

back on track with the fruit and immediately the nausea has started again.

I'm guessing it is my body cleansing itself. Is this normal for the body to

start cleansing itself 40 days into the start of eating raw?

 

I haven't had the opportunity to read the posts on another group but I do

note there are lots of them talking about doing a cleansing. Am I wrong to

assume that this isn't necessary if you eat the right foods anyway? It

seems wrong to me that I would have to do a cleansing when I am eating all

the right, healthy foods.

No problem, Donna, your " golden opportunity " has not disappeared, just been

rearranged slightly. When you can stop a digestive symptom that quickly

simply by eating food such as this, it's definitely interrupting the body

cleansing itself.

 

MY STORY: I was first introduced to RF by Laurie Masters in May 1997. At

that time, I hired Laurie to work in my software company. Several weeks

later, while working on a project, we worked more or less nonstop for 3

days, and in the process I ate 100% RF for three days. At that time, I

hadn't the foggiest idea what this was about, not even a clue, other than a

little Laurie had shared, and she was just beginning herself.

 

Well!!! On the third day, my body decided to cleanse itself with a

vengeance, expelling material through multiple orifices, if you get my

meaning. I put up with this for a couple of hours, at which time Laurie

informed me that all I had to do to stop the process was go down to Burger

King (a favorite of mine at the time) and eat anything at all. She explained

that my body would then become so busy dealing with the new toxins that it

would stop cleansing the old, and I would feel " better. " And so I went down

to BK and ate a couple of items, and voila, within a half hour or less, all

cleansing had ceased. Just what happened to you today, right?

 

CLEANSING AND CLEANSES: This point is very important: THE BODY CLEANSES

ITSELF. Just give it the materials it needs, and most important the rest it

needs, and it will go to work, cleansing and cleansing until you

are...clean!

 

When we first begin eating RF, even just a fraction of our food intake, we

immediately introduce a RELATIVE improvement in rest, by decreasing the load

we place on the digestive and related systems. It is within the context of

this rest, NOT the wonderful new RF we are eating, that most of the

cleansing occurs.

 

The ultimate example is fasting. There is no better way for the body to

accelerate its own cleansing activities than by fasting, when we eat nothing

at all. During such a time, we consume ZERO outside nutrients, so it's

obviously not the nutrients in the food. We consume zero fuel from the

outside, so the body burns through body fat, about 2 pounds per week

depending upon individual metabolic characteristics.

 

It is correct to say that the nutrients in the RF are more bioavailable than

those found in any other foods. It is correct to say that, in the long run,

our bodies can use these higher quality nutrients to build healthier,

stronger tissue than otherwise. But cleansing is simply the body taking out

the trash, and this occurs first, last, and always when there is some degree

of improved physiological rest.

 

So I suggest that you save your money, don't buy any cleanses at all. Just

give your body, mind, and spirit what they need, pay attention so that you

learn every lesson that becomes available to you, and enjoy the journey.

 

Best,

Elchanan
