Guest guest Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Thanks for the article Marin, Wouldn't agree with all of it, especially as he talks about taking meat, eggs and fish out of the diet. Meat is very important in our diets and all the healthiest tribes that weston a price visited ate meat or animal products. Also milk can be a very healthy food as long as it is not pastuerised. It sounds like this doctor might come from a raw foods slant. I agree raw foods have their place but I don't believe they are the be all and end all of our health issues as I myself found out.. pip --- In , " MarinMan1 " <smkeyser@...> wrote: > > The Shocking Truth About Allergies > > by Francis > > The allergy season is upon us and people are responding with sneezing, > wheezing, sinus problems, itchy eyes, and other symptoms.

Maybe you don't know how to eat raw. When I am eating 100% raw, or pretty close to it, my health is much better. Again, just my experience, but Pottenger's Cats weigh this out. I'd have to say there's something wrong with the way you apply to raw diet if you're not seeing health benefits, or you haven't tried 100% raw for long enough. just my personal experience, with over 6 years at about 95-98% raw. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Hi michael, I was a raw vegan for 6 years and this is the only place I went wrong. WOuld love to hear about your experiences eating raw. I'm taking it you include animal proteins in your diet? this is where I slipped up and went off down the wrong path... I have a whole heap of friends that did the same, now I eat raw meat apart from the odd cooked fish and chicken, haven't got my head around eating that raw yet.. plus I steam some veggies, mainly the cruciferious types. xxpipxx > > > > Thanks for the article Marin, > > Wouldn't agree with all of it, especially as he talks about taking > > meat, eggs and fish out of the diet. > > Meat is very important in our diets and all the healthiest tribes > > that weston a price visited ate meat or animal products.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I eat a pretty low-carb, high-fat version of the raw diet. I eat cooked food maybe once or twice a month for social reasons. I like a lot of raw shrimp, fish roe/eggs, avocado, coconut, raw oats, and some fruit every so often. I also enjoy raw oysters and raw fish from time to time. mike > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like raw spinach. For digestion I recommend unrefined sea salt like Celtic, Lima, or Atlantic. Those are the only three brands I know of that are totally raw/unrefined. I also recomend healing clays like Pascalite, Terramin, and Redmond Clay. I don't recommend eating a lot of raw veggies or fruit. Avocadoes and/or coconut would be the exception. I usually eat roe with other foods like shrimp or raw oats. I also really find shrimp brains to be health-giving, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Dearest Pip, I have never been thrown off any group at anytime my friend. There is a lot of false information floating around out there about me. Originally I was a co-advisor on the Candidiasis Group along with Duncan Crow. When my own Candida Support Group got too busy I couldn't keep up with both groups. I started my own group because I wanted to incorporate WAP principles. I wrote my first Candida Article in 1987 while I was curing my own candida. At the time I was also running a Candida Support Group that met at a local school and I had a telephone hot line for any candida sufferers to call me.
