Hi again, Debbie!

 

it's not a book...it's a " course " , originally sold by T.C. Fry out of

Texas. it's no longer in print... the name of it is The Life Science

Health System, and it was designed to teach basic Natural Hygiene

concepts/theory so that one could become a Life

Scientist/practitioner.

 

re: the clarification of fragemented, yes, juicing would be a fairly

extremen example of fragmenting something, actually.

 

From 's online dictionary, Fragmented:

" A small part broken off or detached.

An incomplete or isolated portion; a bit... "

 

The thought process is that as soon as we make something other than

whole, some part of the vital nutrients become deranged/damaged. For

example, I recently read somewhere that shredded lettuce loses like

90% of its vitamin C in one minute! that shocked me, not that I

shred a lot of lettuce, and I have. soooo....the basic concept is to

keep/serve/eat raw foods as close to " whole " as possible.

 

For example, with the banana, it's optimal to peel it down a little

and eat it, then peel some more, etc...vs. peeling it, cutting it

into cute little rounds, and then letting it sit in a serving bowl

with other pieces of cut-up fruit. I've changed my eating habits

here: I used to like to slice the banana into the rounds into a bowl,

and then eat it. Now, I just do as above: peel it, and eat it. much

simpler, actually....and more like Bobo!

 

I've also made some changes in how I serve/eat lettuce. I used to

either cut it up (having moved from a metal knife to a plastic knife),

or tear it into " bite-size " pieces to now serving it either as most

of a head/half a head, etc. or just leaves of like Romaine, separated

from the head, rinsed gently, and place in a bowl.

 

I now serve tomatoes whole in a bowl (yes, I'm getting interesting

looks/comments from others, if I've served theirs this way! " what's

this? " ummm, that'd be a tomato....lol! The learning for me is that

Vit. C is quickly oxidized upon exposure to air...and I'd rather

leave the oxidation/burning for my body. seems to me that's a more

optimal choice. I've even tried the " just bite into it "

theory....and I must admit, that's a bit messy with tomatoes! lol!

 

and now, I can look at a piece of food, typically fruit, and quickly

ask myself: " what is the most WHOLE way to eat this? " like for my

Mamey Sapote, my newest food exploration, I carefully cut around it,

and then separate it like an avocado - and I put the half with the

pit back in the fridge, and scoop the other half out with a plastic

spoon. etc...etc....

 

these have all been very recent changes for me. part of it has come

out of answering a private thought from Elchanan about bells going

off. Part of my answer to that had been as follows:

 

[What made a bell go off for me was taking a seminar, Premier

Educational Systems, LLC, called " Values " And making a commitment

to Health as one of my values, and we have since then incorporated it

into our Family Values.

 

With the definition of a value being: " …consciously chosen guiding

principle that affects every area of my life.. "

 

Out of this, and putting together several pieces of information, one

Raw Food, and then the next being a saying from an earlier Premier

Seminar, Discovery: " …that which is not acted upon is not learned… " ,

coupled with " …the Universe rewards action not just thinking about

it… " coupled with " …you are 100% accountable for your outcomes and

results. If you do not like your results, then choose something

different… " I chose to become a Raw vegetarian in late September,

2004. Since then, on February 15, 2005, I've chosen to be primarily

a Frugivore.] that ends that part of the conversation with Elchanan.

 

This process has assisted me immensely with gaining clarity: once

I've chosen/committed myself, I then declare my intention. That

intention then " DEMANDS massive action " .

 

whew...I'll repost some of the above, with a different subject line,

so others, who may not have read such a long post, can see it.

 

all the best,

 

Bob

Hi Bob. Could you please educate me about your becoming a frugivore. I think I

was one and now I've been trying to incorporate more salads into my routine.

I've been feeling pretty sick lately. Head, nausea, my old stuff. I wonder if

there is a relationship or if I'm just detoxing. Like you I went raw in

September 04. I prefer fruit to greens. it seems like Bobo does too. just

wondering. Thanks Lane
