transformation through diet

March 19, 2007

Ones...

Please... any brothers or sisters out there who might be able to help me with

information on a diet that might help me with cirossis? I am suffering horrible

kidney infection's and a multitude of other infections. There is no definate

diet for cirossis, they just say " avoid alcohol " . I simply have no hunger for

any food and am out of breath and weak. My liver numbers have gone down since

Amma told me she would have " sankalpa " for me. I just wish I knew some

direction to go dietary wise. I subsist on carrot/orange/ginger juice. Any

advise ones?

Just because I am suffering a wee bit now does not diminish how far I have

come since meeting Amma. I have been sober since January 10th 2005, gave my

ciggeretts to Amma November, '05 and quit eating meat too! All I contribute to

my loving compassionate Satguru. I am looking forward to being healthy in

Amma's grace. I am also looking forward to the adivse I get from the group.

Thank you brothers & sisters!

Many people are still tied to the myth that a diet needs to include

lots of animal products to ensure adequate amounts of protein and to

be nutritionally sound. All foods are made up of macronutrients: fat,

protein, and carbohydrate. Macronutrients contain calories; calories

supply us with energy. If people are overweight it is from consuming

more calories than their body needs. Changing the distribution of fat,

protein, and carbohydrates does not matter as much as changing

(reducing) the amount of macronutrients (calories) consumed.

Protein deficiency is not a concern in the modern world. It is next to

impossible to consume too little protein. The commercially promoted

myth that high animal protein consumption is necessary for good health

is something we urgently need to dispel if we want to halt the heart

disease and cancer epidemic. Vegetables, grains, beans, nuts and seeds

are all rich sources of protein.

In fact, there is a benefit to obtaining the vast majority of your

protein from plant foods. Increasing vegetable protein and decreasing

animal protein, along the lines of my Eat To Live plan, dramatically

reduces cholesterol. Plus, plant-based foods provide an abundance of

antioxidants and other cancer and heart disease fighting nutrients,

which are not found in animal products.

So get the facts, there is plenty of protein in plant foods. Here is a

list of some foods showing the protein content as a percent of

calories. It might be surprising . . .

Food Percent Protein

Watercress 60%

Broccoli Raab 47%

Chinese cabbage (bok choy) 47%

Asparagus 34%

Boston Bibb lettuce 33%

Lentils 30%

Kidney beans 27%

Peas 27%

Great Northern beans 27%

Brussels Sprouts 24%

Oats 17%

Almonds 14%

Blackberries 12%

Apricots 10%

Cantaloupe 9%

Brown rice 9%

Cherimoya 8%

Vaishnavi,

The body can take a while to heal, especially if you

have been using toxic substances for a long time.

Amarnath would be a better person to address this as

he has many more years of experience in this area. You

might want to have a phone consulation with Dr.

Fuhrman, you can also ask him questions on his

website/membership forum. There is a wealth of

information on his site www.drfuhrman.com and

www.diseaseproof.com.

The eating style (extremely simple, creative and pure)

he promotes seems to be the foundation for healing and

dealing with almost everything that ails you.

First one must educate themselves and then put into

practice all that has been learned. There is much

support there from Dr. Furhman himself, as well as the

other memebers who are dealing with almost everything

under the sun, as far as the body is concerened.

I hope you feel better, there is a way to healing and

better health.

Dearest Vaishnavi,

I do not have any diet advise..... but WOW!!! How commendable are you to give

up all your addictions to Amma! What a very nice inspiring story. It isn't easy

to do this. Amma's grace can help us do anything in life! Have faith that Amma

will heal your body, mind and soul and it will happen. I will pray for you.

Amma's Child,

R.

Just because I am suffering a wee bit now does not diminish how far I

have come since meeting Amma. I have been sober since January 10th 2005, gave my

ciggeretts to Amma November, '05 and quit eating meat too! All I contribute to

my loving compassionate Satguru. I am looking forward to being healthy in Amma's

grace. I am also looking forward to the adivse I get from the group. Thank you

Eat greens, cooked greens if your digestion is weak. Turmeric is good

for infection, and the Ayurvedic remedy manjista is good for

cleansing the blood, which will also help. I buy it powdered and put

in caps. Watch the ginger, it can heat the body. So can raw garlic,

but it might help with the infection. Some probiotics like

acidophilus may also help restore balance. Don't neglect drinking

lots of water. No cold food or frigid drinks.

I suggest getting support from an acupuncturist or ayurveda person.

fast healing to you

Namah Shivaya.

Dandelion is excellent for liver. Be sure it's organic. In the US i would

have home grown dandelion every day.

I would harvest the whole plant except for little root so it would grow

back. Then rinse off dirt. Then put whole plant in boiling water. Take off

heat, let sit for a few hours so essence comes into tea. Then take a little

and maybe store in glass and have a little the next day. Caution, it is a

diuretic, so you will make more trips to the bathroom.

I learned this and much, much more from Susun Weed:

www.amazon.com/*Healing*-Wi*s*e-Woman-Herbal/dp/0961462027

Other great resource for healing foods:

John *Heinermann*, Ph.D. Author of " Heinerman's Encyclopedia of

*Healing*Juices "

May Amma's grace continue to flow to you,

premarupa

" Always remember that you are just an instrument in God's Hands. Have

the attitude that your are not the doer but that God makes you do

everything...It Is God's Power that carries us through everything. " ~

Namaste Vaishnavi,

Congratulations on the measures you have already taken.

Remember that the body has the ability to regenerate itself if given a

proper simple diet, rest, relaxation, some simple exercise, spiritual

practices, and especially with Amma's Blessings.

The dietary recommendations already given are very good. See what

suits you and ask some more questions.

Where you live might be a factor what foods are available to you?

Where are you located? USA? India?

I have similar suggestions:

www.drfuhrman.com and for a basic understanding of Nutritional

Healing, " Eat to Live " book and " The Greatest Diet on Earth " DVDs are

excellent.

For recommendations specific to your condition, a phone consultation

with Dr Joel Fuhrman, MD would be good. Can you manage these financially?

The Green Vegetables, somebody already mentioned, should be very good

for you and here's a Vegetable Juice recommendation @

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

http://www.easyhomeremedy.com/home_remedy_for_Cirrhosis.html

The juice of carrots, in combination with spinach juice, has been

found beneficial in the treatment of cirrhosis of the liver. Spinach

juice 200 ml, should be mixed with 300 ml of carrot juice to

prepare 500 ml or half a litre of combined juices.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But, with your kidney condition also, medical advice from a

Nutritional Medical Doctor like Joel Fuhrman is advisable.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a specific type of urinary tract

infection (UTI) that generally begins in your urethra or bladder and

travels up into your kidneys. If not treated properly, kidney

infection can permanently damage your kidneys or spread to your

bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection. Prompt medical

attention is required.

Your urinary system is composed of your kidneys, ureters, bladder and

urethra. All play a role in removing waste from your body. Your

kidneys filter waste from your blood, adjust blood levels of many

substances, and conserve or excrete water from your system depending

on your body's needs. Tubes called ureters carry urine from your

kidneys to the bladder, where it's stored until it exits your body

through the urethra. Kidney infection usually begins when bacteria

enter the urinary tract through the urethra and then start to

multiply. Kidney infection can occur through your bloodstream,

although this is rare.

Antibiotics are the typical treatment for kidney infection. But, you

can take a number of steps to help prevent a kidney infection in the

first place.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Natural remedies that might help :

http://www.naturalypure.com/D-MannoseUTIRemedy.htm

Symptoms of Kidney Infections (acute pyelonephritis) - Kidney

infection is a potentially dangerous form of urinary tract infection

that results when a bladder infection is left untreated and bacteria

continue to migrate up the ureters to the kidney.

D-Mannose and/or Cranberry Capsules are very good for handling UTI.

But, in your case with both liver and kidney, consulting with a good

Nutritional Expert Medical Doctor is advisable.

Amma Bless You,

PS ~ also use Amma's Holy Water and Vibhuti and give all of your

organs plenty of love and gratitude and ask their forgiveness. Imagine

Amma's Healing Light surrounding and penetrating all of your organs

and entire body. BE WELL! and an instrument of God.

Amarnath...

Thank you so much for the informative help. I live in the USA, an hour

outside Chicago. I grow on organic garden for part of the year and rely on

store bought organics during the frozen winter. I simply cannot thank you

enough for the data to heal! I'm so touched by the love in the messages. I

will follow through on all - a treasure trove. I used to be so blind and thught

nobody loved me and now I know I am loved by the universe. Amma simply keeps

pushing me to light, love and a complete transformation of who I once was. Amma

brought my Mom, my Daughter and I together in peace for the first time;we were

all together when Amma married my daughter last June at the Ashram. I have

complete faith in this transformation, its enduring the infections & such with

the proper attitude that I need to remember. I get emotional and it wreaks

havoc on my nervous system. The antibiotic I have to take kill my stomach, is

acidolliphus bad for antibiotics? Amarnath you know so

much about the diet I really enjoy your messages.
