Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hi Monica, You're welcome, and I'm glad you find this useful. Almost 100% of the challenges people face when attempting to adopt a RF diet and make other health-supportive lifestyle changes lie in the mind. And yet, I find that much of the conversation in most of these discussion groups remains focused upon blenders and additives and recipes and the like. Although such discussion keeps people busy, it actually distracts them from gaining enough clarity EVER to transition successfully toward any sustainably healthful lifestyle. Until people begin to address this transition as one involving profound paradigm shifts and then seek out the very few teachers who teach in such terms, most of those people will continue flailing about, expending seemingly bottomless effort and energy and wondering why their forward progress so often feels like traveling backward. The Path of Health Community, in which I participate, offers several audio programs that address health differently, I think, than I have found elsewhere and that do specifically focus upon some of the paradigm shifts available to everyone who wishes to explore and embrace them. Here is a portion from post #495 in the GoingRaw archive that identifies some of these programs. Monica, you might find #4 of particular and immediate interest. (GoingRaw is a second, more entry-level discussion group we sponsor in addition to PathOfHealth.) ____________ From our program entitled Getting Started on the Path of Health: 1.

Best, Elchanan _____ MJ [esmj_01] Friday, February 22, 2008 5:43 AM Re:XPOST [PathOfHealth]: Transitioning Loved Ones Elachan, Thanks for sharing that post with us. I have been transitioning to 811rv since Aug of last year. I even managed more than 30 days 100%, but have only been able to maintain 90% since November. My body tells me by its physical signs, runny eyes, congested nose and usually upset stomach (I have resorted to taking digestive enzymes as a transition stop-gap measure. Not optimal;, but I don't want to give up on transitioning, but have realized I am imperfect and this is taking me a while to fight the cooked addictions). Sharing stories such as those really help. I have to say it takes Herculean (no drama there, just truth) efforts to cook for my family (I have an 11 yr old and refuse to stop cooking for him; otherwise, his dad will feed him horridly) and stay Raw. As time goes by, it becomes less of an effort, but is still trying. Thanks for the occasional blurb about succesful 811'ers. ---Monica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
