Re: Going raw, feeling buzzy

[Guest guest]

Hi Marti,

That's kind of normal. Eat something cooked. Or, eat more lettuce.

You're eating a lot of fruit and that means a lot of sugar. So, ground

yourself with more greens.

If this is a matter of blood glucose too high, then eating a little bit of

cinnamon should help, I would think. If I felt foggy, I'd probably drink coffee

or tea.

Hi,

I had some brocolli and cheese (cooked) for dinner. Also, a piece of toast and

some almonds.

I feel okay now. It is hard to get all this right.

drinking a green tea is always better than coffee. Just look in a coffee cup

and you can see

what ends up in the pipes ! I am using honey rather than brown sugar. Any

reports on how

honey is for cancer(against it or not) ? I am down to one cigarette every hour

and a half to

two hours now. fourth day of reducing the nicotine intake.

The honey must be truly raw. Unheated honey. To be beneficial.

For example the honey that we buy raw is green honey.

It really is green. Not colored as the debunkers might say.

You cannot put a tight cap on the bottle because the honey is alive.

it continues to " bubble " all day and all the weeks you store it.

My wife used this green honey to recover from her 3rd pregnancy which

gave her a big post partum depression.

Never heard of green honey. Where do you get green

honey ? I live over two hours away from any town with

" health food " stores.

On the ranch I grew up we got it still in the combs,

also here in my area we can do the same and get it

from those that raise them here.

Hi Marti,

I found that transitioning slowly was beneficial to me. Remember, that

you will also suffer from detox symptoms - and feeling light headed can

be one of those as well.

You may benefit from adding nuts in order to get a bit more protein.

Keep it up. It's totally worth it.

As long as it's raw---not strained, spun, centrifuged, etc, it's fine.

There is no reason to have to get green honey. My wife and I

get " Really Raw " honey, that is available on line if anyone is

interested. We get it through our food co-op. It appears to me that raw

honey may not crystallize and become hard the way honey that has been

tampered with does. We love the taste of Really Raw honey, and believe

we get all sorts of good stuff in it---propolis, minerals, vitamins,

etc.

You may possibly be predominately vata so it makes sense to have

warm grounding foods, especially in winter. It is much better to go

raw in summer than winter.

Guru,

It just dawned on me the puzzle of the recommendation of warm foods.

Since I live in a tropical country where the temperature is something

like 25 - 35 degrees Celsius constantly, our food is always at the same

temperature.

But in places like yours where you have extreme weather changes like

winter, all the foods unless heated will be cold!

Just like when we teach our kids to always drink water at room

temperature, which is always 25 - 35 degrees Celsius. Some people drink

cold water, water from the refrigerator.

Am I getting somewhere with this line of reasoning Guru?

I have read some where that you should use local honey when possible to prevent

allergies form local plants.

Just my two cents

You are on the right track. For instance, a pitta person would do

well with ice cream but not a vata or kapha person. I am not

advocating ice cream but using it as an extreme example. You could

also substitute something like frozen natural fruit juice popcycle.

Of course we all know that room temp foods and liquid are best for

the digestive system. The point I am making is that a pitta person

needs cooling foods like bitter foods, cukes, melons, milk, etc. Is

it any coincidence that one of the very best foods for diabetes is

bitter melon? Diabetes is usually but not always a pitta disease.
