Guest guest Posted January 12, 2001 Report Share Posted January 12, 2001 Hi ! I agree in large part with your thinking: > " A fruit diet, even if adhered to for the short-term, would go the longest way toward helping anyone radically cleanse and heal their liver/gallbladder " naturally " and present the finest hope of avoiding all these surgeries... " There is nothing easier than fruit for the body to digest and it contains terrific phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals. An all fruit diet for a month or two would most likely cure many diseases. If I had cancer this would be one approach I would take! It should also be understood that a water fast also has many of the same " curing " results. A water fast for two-four weeks, followed by a fruit fast for a week or two as shown tremendous results to cure many diseases, especialy those of the digestive system. The body gets a chance to " rest " and heal. It has tremendous ability to heal itself If given the chance. You do come on a bit strong in the rest of your statements. Are you basing your " all fruit " theory on " the garden? " Adam and Eve were given all of the garden from which to gather food. Also, that fruit would have contained much more by way of nutrients than ours! To assume that all should be " fruitarians " is pretty far out. I can see the evidence to push for a 50% diet of fruit, but the exclusion of vegetables I don't understand. The healthy human body has the ability to digest and function on many types of foods. It does not require a long term avoidance of much that God has given. Yes, the unhealthy body... which any Americans have... requires significant change in eating habits. A fruit fast for 2-3 weeks would be ideal... but then, fruit, vegies, grains, fish, etc. all can be used by the body for good health. You have a large part of truth in your statements, but seem to carry it to an extreme. None of us has " all " the truth... that's why we are working together to understand the power of healing the body through sensible health. ken wrote: >I understand the resistance of folks to doing this--it's hard to ditch the pizza-for-lunch club, and even raw salads are more socially acceptable than sitting in the break-room ascetically chewing on a few orange slices, but it's a matter of priorities--food addiction grants one wide social acceptance in our society, at the ultilmate expense of one's body-parts, and, eventually, one's life. But that same social group will also salve your conscience with praise, applauding you for doing " the best you could " with diet (despite the fact that you didn't do what made the most sense to do) and accept you, unconditionally, rewarding you, with its ongoing acceptance, for your conformity, and your stubbornness, and your stupidity, so that this group can, mainly, remain convinced that they too, should be allowed to perpetuate the myth that humans are supposed to be indulging themselves in all matter of foods other than fruit, that were never meant to be foods for humans, while everyone continues to shirk their duties of basic self-care, shutting out responsibility for the welfare of their bodies that, if attended to, could restore Man to his original destiny on Earth. How nice we encourage and support each other to be so much less than we could be! It's a shoddy and pathetic conspiracy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
