Kay here;

Thank you for adding to our conversation.

I am very serious about getting to the bottom of this problem in my

own case, because this pattern has always brought forth doubt -

Difficult to stop the mind thinking that way when I experience pain.

 

I feel very ill this end. All fruit that I eat tastes horrible. I

have reduced the amount down to half what I was eating and that was

not excessive. My whole system feels acid. Constant pain and turmoil

in my stomach and gut.

How do you eat a salad when your body is 'switched off' to it?!

How could I continue through a winter like that - with less variety

of fruit too!

I would clearly not be listening to my body if I continued to eat

fruit. I just can't be doing with this - because I know this diet

is " perfect " and I don't break food combining rules etc.

 

Fortuantely for me, I begin a long fast on monday. In the past the

situation has not improved by fasting. The climate and fruit here

remains a problem.

I affirm to myself that this time WILL be different.

I speak about doubt because I am realistic - But possible I should

deny a negative remark?

 

The best to all x

Our effort is not in vain - it is an adventure eh folks?!
