surprise there is a relation between dairy consumption and osteoporosis.

 

Thanks for this info.

Makes sense, as paradoxically, the countries with the highest incident rates of

osteoporosis are the countries which have the highest consumption rates of milk

and other dairy products.

 

I'll do a lithmus paper test too.

>Finding the proper balance means carefully watching the signs from the body but

the signs will be "loud and clear" only when the body has recognized what it

"likes" best. Strange as it may sound, the body *knows* that but unless it has

recognized, one won't get the proper feedback. Not really a surprise, the

similarity with "once recognized *who you are* it cannot be forgotten anymore".

The mechanism of recognition essentially is the same - that is why one should

not differentiate between mind and body

 

Point taken.

 

Hmmm...

I can see how this recognition would require attention and sensitivity, as well

as surrender to the body signals.

 

Paradoxically, concomitant with a loss of some sensory input to the body, it

also seems to have become more sensitive to illness and just about everything.

Or maybe the signals coming through have just become louder.

 

So I think I'll try out a few things and see what signals I get.

 

Thanks for the warning about the house cleaning and the tip about carrots

slowing down absorption.

>I consider anything pasteurized as processed food too. That is not by theory

but by experiment. One of the raw food gurus advised to test everything

thoroughly instead of just believing and imitating so I know the effects of

pasteurized juices to be the same as ordinary cooked food. Occasional use, no

problem but not a regular. Of course I tested AFTER the body recognized what it

likes best

 

Of course.

 

This info and the URLs you posted give me a good starting point. Raw vegetables

apparently makes the energy very happy, but it also requires more frequent

eating. I will see how things develop.

 

Thanks again for the info.

 

 

Love,

 

Amanda.
