Guest guest Posted April 17, 2002 Report Share Posted April 17, 2002 Lauraand Reg Deluca I have been 100% raw save a few beers here and there for 6 months or so but still I need a toothbrush. The need is less than before but I think that until I get my diet right, the dental need will persist. My hope is that when the need for the brush goes I will have passed the acid test of being more or less on the right diet. I speculate whether toothpaste might kill of bacteria. I knew a person raised by Christian Scientists who never cleaned his teeth and drank smoked and ate standard diet. However I also know that people in the 16th to 19th centuries almost never had their portraits painted with their teeth showing as more often than not the teeth were black. A famous example is Queen Elizabeth I Thus simply letting the mouth rot in the hope that some natural bacteria will develop in the mouth is not the answer either. I have been told that Arabs in times gone by used to wash their mouths after a meal and that helped a lot. I notice dogs tend to spend a lot of time licking their teeth after eating. No doubt a light will shine through in the end Peter Gardiner I am hoping that regdeluca [regdeluca] 16 April 2002 15:28 rawfood Re: [Raw Food] Rawfood and teeth Lauretta & Peter, I can't agree more with Lauretta. I'm familiar with Hallelujah Acres. Rotting teeth are nothing more than a sick body internally. The body works from the inside out and if the inside is unclean, it will surface itself via teeth, skin, hair, etc. I began a 95% raw food diet with juice therapy about a year ago and I can't tell you enough of how great it is. My body is healing many illnesses-I'm almost completely off thyroid medication! The people I know with teeth problems all have many other internal problems. Even poor genetics can be reversed with a raw food program. It's another one God's amazing gifts to us. rawfood, " V & LP " <res0illx@v...> wrote: > Peter, I believe most and > possibly all mammals have > " milk teeth " that are replaced > with an adult set.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2002 Report Share Posted April 17, 2002 Sharon, it doesn't sound as though you are eating enough or getting enough variety. At least add a large salad to your lunch and a smaller one to start your dinner. A good variety of vegetables will provide all the protein and nutrients you need. The fruit adds more calorie density because of the fruit sugars and, of course, a lot of good nutrients. Whether or not you are trying to lose weight, you don't want to let your caloric intake drop to the point that your metabolism slows down or you'll feel more fatigued. Is your cooked food meal vegan? The juice not only helps with hunger, it provides good and easily digested nutrition. I juice anything I find in the frig. Our basic juice recipe is carrots, celery, spinach, and parsley and frequent additions are broccoli, mustard greens, collard greens, and cucumbers. I seldom have a " cooked meal " . The cooked portion of my diet is mostly from the Ezekiel bread or tortillas I use to make a wrap out of my salad on some days or from cooked legumes or soy cheese that I add to my salad. Did you ever worry about getting enough protein and nutrients when you were on the SAD? If you eat a wide variety of foods, you will have a hard time not getting enough protein and nutrients. Variety is also the key to feeling full and satisfied. If you eat the same foods everyday in the same combinations, you will find it difficult to stick to this way of life. Good luck!

I'd also be interested in some examples of what you might eat (and juice) in a given day. I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out what to eat and how much to eat in order to get enough protein and nutrients. Do you eat combos of foods and make recipes, or do you rely predominantly on juices for your nutrition? What I've basically been doing is eating a few fruits in the morning, then later in the day I may eat some sprouts and an avocado and about 20 nuts, which have been soaked for about a day. I generally feel hungry all the time and I haven't felt satisfied. At dinner I've been eating a cooked food meal and I'm so hungry by then, I tend to eat too much. Do you find that juicing helps you need to eat less food and helps you feel more satisfied? Lately I've been feeling like I don't want to eat vegetables very much. I want something more exciting. I don't mean to overwhelm you with questions. Don't feel obligated to answer them all. I'd be happy to hear some meal plan suggestions from anyone who has been eating raw for a while and feeling good. Does anyone have food logs posted anywhere? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2002 Report Share Posted April 17, 2002 Quick Reply, You are hungry only because you haven't taken in enough calories. Increase fruit consumption double or triple amounts or whatever you need to feel satisfied. Too much fat will make you sluggish. A raw foodists primary source of energy is going to come from fruits. You just have to eat what you would think are insane amounts. Roger P.S.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2002 Report Share Posted April 17, 2002 Hi Linda, It takes a while to heal organs, but God has given us all the resources to do so in nature. I was on Armour Thryoid and Cytomel- a very high dose mind you. I'm now on just a smidget of Armour and plan to be off in a couple months. I juice different combinations specifically for different organs, along with mini-(3-4 day) juice fasts, diet and colon hydrotherapy. One example of thryoid juice is carrot, bell pepper, alfalfa sprouts, and bib lettuce. The colon hydrotherapy is critical because it cleans out old debris and restores health in the colon. This allows the organs to eliminate mucous and toxins. It's quite amazing. If you are feeling tired and draggy on your diet, my guess is that you are detoxing. This is typical and I still go through it quite often even after all this time on the program. Let me know if you have anymore questions!

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2002 Report Share Posted April 17, 2002 Hi Sharon, You sound exactly like me 7 years ago up until last year. I tried everything, but didn't committ to one thing until I found the answer. It wasn't in any supplements either. First and foremost, get a juicer. It's pure medicine! Your organs are toxic and you need to clean them out. You have to wean onto them though or you will get very sick. Secondly, follow a food combining diet for proper digestion and assimilation. Eat mostly raw similar to the way you are already, but increase your food intake if you are not satiated. I would add flax seed oil and olive oil on your salads everyday. Add 1 Tbsp. Wheat Germ oil on cut up fruit or a smoothy in the AM. The oils don't make you gain weight-only lose if need be. Stay away from grains, soy and too much meats. Stick with eggs, turkey, lamb and avocado for protein. Thirdly, find someone who is a certified Colon Hydrotherapist. This is critical. You need to clean your colon and make sure you are eliminating properly on a regular basis. Without this you will not get better-point blank. Enemas help too. They aren't as good as colonics though. Don't mistake detoxification with sickness b/c your syptoms are mimicked when you detox. Here's a good sample diet: Meal 1 2-3 Pieces fruit blended into smoothie or cut up (i.e. Banana, strawberries, blackberries) ½ Tbsp. Wheat Germ Oil 1 Tbsp. Wheat Germ 1 Tbsp. Ground Flax Seeds Meal 2 1 Cup brown rice or ½ cup oatmeal, measured uncooked -(not until later stages) Meal 3 Large Salad with a variety of mixed vegetables (i.e. romaine, bib lettuce, alfalfa sprouts, cucumber, celery, tomato, raw asparagus, green beans, grated beets, grated sweet potatoes, etc) Fresh herbs (i.e. basil, thyme, oregano, sage, etc.) ½ Avocado ¼ Cup Goat’s cheese 1 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil and 1 Tbsp. Flax Oil Meal 4 12-15 raw nuts germinated (soaked 8-12 hours in spring water) (I.e. almonds, hazelnuts, pecans, etc—no peanuts) 3-4 figs, dates rolled in coconut, or ½ cup raisins Meal 5 4-5 Oz. Protein (i.e. turkey, lamb, chicken preferably free range Salad and/or steamed vegetables (broccoli must be blanched) 1 Tbsp. Olive oil Meal 6 (optional) 1-2 pieces fruit if hungry > I'd be happy to hear some meal plan suggestions from > anyone who has > been eating raw for a while and feeling good.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 Hi Sharon, I tried to post yesterday but for some reason my post did not stick. A quick answer if you are feeling hungry is that you are not getting enough calories. I used to feel hungry all the time on the raw diet until I was told I wasn't consuming enough calories from fruit. Now after quite a while on the 100% raw diet I feel satiated. I have very little cravings as well. The longer you go all raw the less cravings you get. Much of the cravings start because of mental habits of going out to eat and emotional reasons. Since the raw diet has lots of water in it you have to consume much more water to consume enough calories to feel satiated. Try to double to quadruple your fruit intake. Bananas are quite calorie rich. Try counting calories for a bit to make sure you are getting about the same amount or more of calories that you used to eat with cooked foods. Roger Haeske P.S.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 Has anyone done any study or know anything about Natural Hygiene? There are a few pages on the web about Natural Hygiene and even one that is a educational site that you have to pay for lessons on. I will be glad to pass on some of these links, but think there are ways to naturally (by eating certain foods perhaps) control all of your bodies hygiene. I will be the first to admit that I know nothing about natural hygiene though and welcome any comments on the subject.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2002 Report Share Posted April 19, 2002 Since diabetes is a big problem in my family, I prefer a vegetable based diet. Most (3/4) of my fruit consist of tomatoes, avocados, bell peppers, and cucumbers. I do usually have a handful of berries and some raw nuts, too. This works very well for me and I don't have sugar highs and mood swings that many people heavily into fruits report.

Increase fruit consumption double or triple amounts or whatever you need to feel satisfied. Too much fat will make you sluggish. A raw foodists primary source of energy is going to come from fruits. You just have to eat what you would think are insane amounts. Roger P.S.

By far the greatest, most important factor to maintaining dental health is dental hygiene (correct brushing, flossing, getting your teeth cleaned, and even (shudder) topical fluoride treatments for those who don't wish to drink fluoridated water. Nutrition is a very marginal factor. In fact, you can eat just about anything and keep your teeth for the rest of your life, as long as you practice the basics of dental hygiene I listed above. Of course, this all goes against the standard line that many pick up when they their thinking turns " absolutely raw. " That is, if raw foods are good for you, then what science has uncovered about dental health no longer has any application. Eat raw, and if your teeth have problems, it only means you're detoxing or suffering the effects of internal pollution. That's dangerous advice. If your teeth have problems, SEE A DENTIST IMMEDIATELY. People actually die from infected teeth. At the very least, people needlessly suffer and lose teeth because they think Dentists are " bad, " dental science " corrupt, " and have blind faith that raw foods will solve any health problem. I suspect that many raw foodists have dental problems, simply because they do not see dentists, do not brush or take care of their teeth...their raw faith is no match for the real rules of Mother Nature. See a dentist. Eating mangoes with false teeth would be a real drag. > Lauretta & Peter, > > I can't agree more with Lauretta. I'm familiar with Hallelujah > Acres.
