PM [Raw Food] fat deposits and eczema

 

Hello Everyone.

 

I have to say how much of a valued resource this forum is to my

journey on raw foods. I haven't gone 100% yet (more like 92-95%) and

the detox is beginning to get a little intense. A few days after

having a acu-dox session, I woke up with my eyes crusted shut and a

runny nose with flu-like symptoms. needless to say I'm a bit

cranky...lol.

 

I have a question I hope someone can answer. I have suffered from

chronic eczema and fat deposits beneath my eyes for the past 20 years

(since I was 12). the eczema is in two spots on my body and does not

spread. years ago a naturopath casually said that the bumbs under my

eyes were fat deposits and that my body was not processing fat. he

reommended that i get my choloestrol checked(which i never did). This

incident took place several years ago and it was the only time any

physician showed an interest or displayed any knowledge on what was

going on. Others just shrugged and made up something just to sound

helpful.

 

the only time i noticed both of these conditions decreasing would be

when i went vegan and during the few attempts at being raw, they went

away. Now the eczema I've figured it's from my allergies, but this

thing with the fat deposits got me freaked.

 

Has anyone ever experienced/heard of fat deposits under the skin? And

if so what are your insights? All of the research I've done with skin

disorders and processing fat points to kidneys stress. If others come

to this conclusion, what would be an effective cleans for the kidneys?

 

I hope I'm not asking for too much. I am impressed and inspired by

the body of knowledge some of you possess regarding diet and natural

health.

 

Thank you all for being here,

Isabella

Hi Isabella and all,

 

What a wonderful, clear, complete expression of the information and support

you seek, thank you so much for offering us all this opportunity to give to

you.

 

I'd choose to begin by briefly discussing the general nature of symptoms.

Throughout our culture, from government and " medical science " to traffic

management and potholes, we have all been " educated " to identify symptoms as

problems. This systemic confusion leads many, in fact, most people to try

and " cure " or " solve " or " get rid of " these symptoms, in the mistaken belief

that we will be better off for having done so. Such is the nature of

virtually " therapies; " they seek, by some means, to eliminate the symptoms

we experience. So we try to " get rid of " pain, hunger, cravings, blemishes

on our skin, body weight, and so forth, even unto cancer.

 

But the fallacy therein is great and destructive to us all. For, in any

biological organism, from the smallest virus to the largest mammal (whale),

from the simplest life forms to the most complex (which we, " naturally, "

hold to be ourselves), the symptoms are the solutions-in-progress.

 

My very first RF teacher, Pam Masters, made a great impression on me when

she taught that every symptom is the body's brilliant response to the

conditions I have created. Since then I have further come to understand that

each symptom is a messenger, a signal from our subconscious mind sent

through our body to inform our conscious awareness. For example, a simple

sore throat means " don't eat now. " A typical headache means " drink some

water, don't eat, lie down for a bit. " And so on.

 

Many speak of listening to our bodies, but few nowadays possess the

connection with self, the self-awareness, even to NOTICE the signals of the

body, much less to " listen " and interpret those signals. For most of us,

this art of interpretation must be relearned. (We were all born with this

knowledge, but it has been " educated " right out of us.) And above all else,

in my experience, this is why we need teachers, so that we may learn from

the experiences of others. For only by doing so can we learn what they have

learned AND THEN go beyond where they have journeyed. To do otherwise is

simply stubborn arrogance, no matter how eloquently or elegantly such

resistance may be expressed.

 

In this instance, Isabella, while many would have you spend your hard-earned

resources on this or that cleanse, there are those of us who, having already

tried and abandoned such practices, can tell you with comfort and ease that

your symptoms are common, that they will yield naturally and with the

greatest of ease to your ever-improving health, if only you will choose to

continue creating such health.

 

How, then, does one create health? Fortunately, the answer is the same for

all humans, and quite consistent across primates and mammals in general. We

all need to live in harmony with Nature to the greatest extent we can, or

more correctly, are willing. Simply put:

 

- Continue eating your RF, continue improving your diet. Definitely cut the

salt, minimize the fat. The high-fruit approach some of us discuss will do

this for you quite automagically, if you are willing to learn a few simple

guidelines.

 

- Eat enough for your system. Undereating can never produce lasting, viable

health, and weight loss (for those interested in that) is always a

self-defeating goal. Seek to create health, get rid of nothing. Rather,

choose to return to the world all that has served you well in the past and

that you no longer need.

 

- Go outside, breath fresh air, get sunshine (but not sunburn).

 

- Be physically active at whatever level you can, and push yourself just a

little beyond that point on a regular basis. If nothing else, buy a

rebounder (Needak is the best brand) and just sit on it and gently bounce

yourself up and down; eventually, your capacity will increase quite

naturally and effortlessly.

 

- Find things that make you laugh and smile.

 

There is more, of course, but you get the picture, I hope. If you

concentrate your attention, your INtention, and your energy on matters such

as these, the other " stuff " will leave quite willing on its own.

 

Best to all,

Elchanan

Hello Everyone!

 

Thank you, Elchanan, for your response and insight.

I'm glad you touched upon the notion of manifesting

our own symptoms, as I've been exploring this onlong

my healing path.

 

This process has been one of the most exhilarating and

challenging experiences I've ever had to go through.

Not just on a physical level, but emotionally and

spiritually. But little by little I see the rewards of

sticking through it...be it a clearer mind, losing

some excess weight, clear skin and (one of my

favorites) not having acid reflux anymore.

 

For the first time in over 12 years I am experiencing

health and have realized how SICK I was, even though I

was comparatively healthy to most Americans. It makes

me sad to think of how many people have become

disempowered in their beliefs regarding health, diet

and life. It's as if being obese, with stiches in the

colon, and organs chopped inhalf is a NORMAL state of

health. I'm just fortunate that I've woken up to the

madness and am starting to heal myself.

 

Thanks again and I hope y'all have a great day:)

Isabella

I was a vegetarian for 25 years with the Tofu, brown rice and all, and I have

never felt euphoric like this.
