Creating Health: What We STOP Eating Matters; Principle for Vibrant Living: Constructive Use

[Guest guest]

Hi Jim,

 

Thanks for staying with this conversation.

 

You write: Stopping eating unhealthy things is only part of the process.

The healthier for you the things you consume are, the healthier you will be!

Just simple logic!

 

Yes, in the long run, what we eat provides what our body uses to construct

and run itself. But what you call " cleansing " does not occur as a result of

what we eat. This is an almost universally held misconception.

 

Cleansing and restoration of an organism ... ANY organism ... occurs always

and whenever that organism experiences relative rest (sometimes called

" comparative rest " ). In other words, it is primarily our cycling between

activity and recovery that controls cleansing, not what we eat. What we eat

has a large influence upon restoration and replenishment ... but cleansing

occurs in a state of rest. Physiologists have long comprehended this basic

idea, but so-called " nutritionists " have yet to comprehend it, for the most

part.

 

When we stop ingesting garbage ... whether that garbage be food or otherwise

.... our entire being experiences a state of relative rest ... rest in

contrast with what occurred moments before. And our entire being springs

into action to cleanse and restore itself. Which brings me to my next idea.

 

You write: We both agree that cleansing is critical and that a toxic body is

what makes one sick and prevents healing.

 

Actually, we do not so agree, and this point is fundamental to understanding

what causes and sustains health.

 

Principle for Vibrant Living: Every organism cleanses, restores, and

replenishes itself through constructive use.

 

In simple English, one might say, " Use it or lose it " ... but this only

covers part of the ground. When we use any part of our being constructively

.... as it is designed to be used ... our being acts to create optimal

health. When we do anything else ... our being still acts to create the best

health it can. But the result cannot ever be " optimal " .

 

Imagine a person who overuses a muscle to the point where s/he experiences

pain, even chronic pain. This person can " cause " that muscle to heal by

ceasing the overuse, resting, THEN instituting a new program of constructive

use. The same applies to the digestive system, there is no difference. The

moment we stop putting foreign matter in, the entire body has less junk to

process, and a state of relative rest ensues. Immediately, the body sets

about cleansing itself. This occurs NOT primarily because of what we eat at

that point in time, but rather because of what we stop eating. As I wrote in

a previous post, fasting on water alone provides the deepest form sustained

rest known ... and also results in the deepest and most rapid organismic

cleansing and restoration attainable.

 

This is true of all life and of all organs and systems, body, mind, and

spirit. Whenever we use our being constructively, it creates health.

Whenever we do not, then our being creates the best health it can under the

circumstances. Life knows of no other way in which to operate.

 

Best to all

RE: Creating Health: What We STOP Eating Matters

(WAS: Article: What's the deal with juicing? ...)

 

Stopping eating unhealthy things is only part of the process. The healthier

for you the things you consume are, the healthier you will be! Just simple

logic!

 

For over 4 years I made dramatic healthy lifestyle improvements and went

without juicing. Simply eating/blending whole organic foods. Then I saw

what a difference juicing makes! Not only me , but people could see it in

me as well! If eating/blending whole organic food alone was enough then it

would have made a difference. When I started juicing I felt & saw (as did

MANY others) a difference!

 

Juice fasting has been shown to be more effective that water fasting. Which

only makes sense because your body has more of the nutrients it needs to

cleanse.

 

BarleyMax certainly adds to my health! BIG time! I can tell! Other people

can tell it adds to theirs as well!

 

We both agree that cleansing is critical and that a toxic body is what makes

one sick and prevents healing. Counting anything is useless! Calories,

fats, carbs, sugars, etc. I can elaborate MUCH more on the topic of weight

but am trying to focus on juicing here.

 

Juicing is the fastest way way to improve health and I wish I had juiced

MANY years earlier!

 

The ways humans can positively alter food: (In order)

 

1. Juicing

2. Sprouting

3. Fermenting/culturing

4. Blending

 

Those are really the only major ways humans can positively alter food. Every

other alteration is negative! , Please let me know if anybody thinks of

another way. Thanks!
