Re: Phytonutrients, organic, raw foods, juicing and healing

[Guest guest]

I am actually looking into spirulina right now. I can't do

chlorella, but I think spirulina might help serve my needs. As many

docs say, if you don't get the toxins out, the pathogens will stick

around to reinfect. Thus, I plan on addressing toxins quite strongly

in the near future.

I met a 60 year old woman who said that she was fed cod liver oil

when she was a child. I wonder if our grandparents knew the

importance of healing foods, and actually depended upon such things,

and maybe our parents forgot about it with all the " new " medical

advances. Maybe we have always gotten sick when we didn't have

certain healing foods, and we just forgot over the years. Maybe we

just plain always needed to eat healthy since the beginning of

mankind, and all this processed junk food, as in real junk, needs to

go.

Cod Liver Oil -- How interesting that others in my age range received

on a regular basis as a child. Yes, I am revealing my age to you!!

I'd like to add some thoughts. My mother is 87. Like many older

people, she doesn't want to eat much and often refuses to drink. She

becomes very dehydrated.... I suspect dehydration is an issue with

ASD kids for various reasons. Dehydration contributes to faulty

mental functioning as well as physical. Also, many elderly people

have bowel problems, particularly constipation and difficulty passing

stool.

We have a book about Raw Foods and Juicing, and it says how raw

juicing helps to hydrate the body. We have found this to be

particularly helpful in my mother's situation, and the effects in the

large intestine are nearly immediately obvious. The raw juice helps

the intestines become more " alive " and function better. Also, of

course, raw juice is full of enzymes. Cooked foods lose enzymes and

nutrition. I read somewhere that enzymes chelate metals. I need to

do more research on that, but believe it's true.

I agree that raw, organic foods go a long way to detoxing the body

and restoring mineral balance (hopefully there are minerals in the

foods). Also, I believe the green foods are full of magnesium, and

magnesium is needed to wash the toxins out. I think the SAD diet of

many of us has inadequate green foods in it... especially children

who live on chicken nuggets, pizza and macaroni!

" The Raw Food Detox Diet " by Natalia Rose

This book is extreme for most, but lots to learn and juice recipes.

" The minerals you get from vegetables and their juices can be easily

absorbed... " " These green juices provide perfect cellular

hydration... "

I partially agree since eating Raw sometimes they forget the proper way of eating Raw foods, so far the most accurate complete dietary intervention has been provided by the Weston Price Foundation, every word they say makes sense, to me was a bless to learn from them, it made my life and my children's life to have flavor and enjoyment when eating while we all keep healing ourselves.

For example people in Raw diets always recommend eat raw nuts, and that it's not a good idea unless you soak them first to eliminate the phitic acid they have other wise that acid will irritate the linen of the intestines and with time damage it. For our ASD this is critical.

that is the reason in my site I recommend to buy the book nourishing traditions by Sally Fallon, PhD. She made so far the BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER read about proper nutrition for everyone including our ASD children.

My two cents

Judy,

I second what you have shared about juicing.

Also, will share about an elderly lady friend of our who died at age

96. When she was in her early 70s she was diagnosed with a cancerous

tumor in her intestines. The date for the operation was set. Soon

after receiving the diagnois a friend of her encouraged her to

purchase a juicer and juice carrots. So she bought a Champion juicer

and drank lots of carrot juice. It was the main source of nutrition

for the next weeks (I don't remember just how many that was, but know

that she subsisted mostly on carrot juice.) When it came time for

the preoperative exam, the tumor could not be found. It had shrunk

and disappeared! Well, take from that what you want! But I know

that she went on to live a very active life after that time. She

had an Avon sales organization (many under her) until she was 93.

She was delivering Avon herself at that age! She was as sharp as a

tack up to the end of her life. She continued to juice and also to

prompt the consumption of lots of pure water with minerals added.
