Just for the record I am an unschooler too! and my unschooled daughter is about

to graduate from Yale University on May 23, with a four year stint resulting in

two degrees, one an undergraduate and one a masters degree both in African

Studies, (and a 3.9 out of 4 av.). She will study physics next year at Yale

again, and will spend the summer in Mombasa, Africa, working with a Swahili poet

who writes in Arabic Script, (connected to her masters thesis, finding and

translating rare Swahile documents written in Arabic script Swahili.)

I am finished with homeshooling/unschooling but would be delighted to talk

about the subject with anyone on this list. my email is lanie.

In the meanwhile happy raw day all. Lane

<<can't point you towards any science/studies/research

etc., but I can tell you that eating raw for me feels

as " intuitively right " as unschooling, attachment

parenting was for me when I first looked into those

things, years ago.

 

<<Just went on faith, and decided

to do it.

 

<<Long story short, I did a long juice fast then went

straight into raw after that. Nearly six months later

I am not only off all my meds -- except for a puffer

inhaler I use when I come into contact with a toxic

chemical, like perfume -- I am healthier than I've

ever been. I feel like I'm back in my 20s, and I'm

working out for an hour and a half a day. My insomnia

is gone, my chronic sinusitis is gone, and so is my

asthma for the most part. I'm the first one awake in

my household and the last one to sleep at night,

that's how much energy I have. This is quite a

turnaround from someone who used to be nicknamed

" zombie mama " bc I never, ever, ever, got a full

night's sleep.

 

<<I'm still doing research, learning more and more about

raw (and the different theories as the best way to eat

raw), but I'm glad I didn't have to " know " all the

answers before I took the plunge. Not saying you are

being super-cautious, I am just sharing my experience.

 

 

 

--->Your post resonated so much with me! I certainly wasn't expecting to

hear from someone who knows what unschooling is ....COOL! <grin>

 

** Y E S ** Of course (!) I don't need to have _all the answers_ NOW, do I?

I've created that in my own head, but I can see it's not true. I already

DO KNOW that this (RF) feels right ... and that's more than enough to b e g

i

n :) I CAN_eat_ and read at the same time!

 

Thanks again, for helping me see this all more clearly!

 

xoxo,

Denise
