More from the Dr. Graham and Roz Gruben Talk

[Guest guest]

Hi Folks,

 

Roz Gruben started the talk. She spoke about air pollution

and suggested that Spider Plants were very good at

absorbing carbon monoxide. So she suggested you have some

in your home to clean up the air and beautify your house.

 

Another interesting point was on tobacco. If you can smell

it, you are inhaling it or smoking.

 

Rozy also mentioned that we should earn our meals. That

she does a little exercise before her breakfast and lunch

meals. She mentioned some kind of catchy phrase but I

didn't get the whole thing. Huff and Puff, Pull and Push,

and Stretching. Simple every day activities can turn into

exercise or can be viewed as exercise.

 

She also suggested that if you aren't urinating at least 6

times per day then you are probably dehydrated. Some signs

of Dehydration are being weak, lethargic or having a

headache. I have heard that if you have compression marks

from your socks you are dehydrated. I've definitely noticed

that I don't get those compression marks from wearing socks

with a tight elastic band if I was properly hydrated that

day. It really is quite amazing.

 

You will burn fat in the absence of enough carbohydrates

in the diet. This burning of fat produces ketones that

takes your body a long time to get rid of. This was part of

their argument as to why we should have such a high level

of fruit in our diets. Remember they come at this from the

perspective of training elite athletes. They do this to

maximize performance. I've read similar information in

other Sports Nutrition books.

 

It's funny I've read the experts saying to make the body

burn more fat and other experts to burn more carbs. They

both say that their fuel is the most efficient. Except they

both seem to agree that for something quick like sprinting

you want to be burning glucose and not fat. The endurance

experts sometimes seem to be in the fat corner.

 

And yet I heard Morris Krok the 40 year raw foodist and

author talk about his experiences with fat. Morris runs

Marathons and UltraMarathons. For one of his marathons he

ate a fat meal the night before. He had his worst

performance ever. Normally he sticks much more to fruits

and has a low fat diet.

 

The plain fact of the matter is that most raw foodists eat

an incredible amount of fat in their diets. I've spoken to

many and have learned this for myself. I know I was eating

a lot of fat. Excess fat does nothing but slow you down.

Once I cut down to 10% or less fat per day and increased my

fruit consumption I started feeling better and having more

energy. Sometimes ridiculous amounts of energy that I

needed to workout two times in the day just to feel

satisfied.

 

If you have excess fat in your bloodstream it creates a

barrier or type of wall. This causes a need for insulin to

be secreted from the Pancreas. With a low level of fat in

the blood studies have shown that either no insulin or tiny

amounts of insulin are needed to handle the sugar.

 

Now if the Pancreas start to wear out from creating all

this excess insulin then your Adrenals start to kick in.

They will stimulate the Pancreas into releasing more

insulin. Eventually the Adrenals get smaller and worn out

as well. Our final line of defense to clear up the excess

blood sugar is the yeast, Albicans candida or Candida for

short. So when we get those symptoms of Candida and then

want to kill off the yeast or bacteria we may be harming

ourselves. I don't remember if he mentioned what would

happen if the Candida wasn't there as a back up method. But

it's probably not a good thing.

 

I've also found that many raw foodists have this Candida

problem. Another thing that I've found that helps is to eat

your last meal of the day as early as possible. Dr. Cousens

has found that all sorts of putrefaction develops if you

are eating late at night because that time is not the ideal

time of the day for digestion. Much may just be left to

putrefy and therefore you generate a big build-up of toxins

in your body.

 

I'll have some more for you guys later. I have lots more

notes.

If my fat intake goes as low as you mention, I get hypoglycemic.

I've actually kicked my really awful case of Candidiasis with my raw food diet.

The candida diets that are out on the market never worked and only clogged my

system with too much meat protein. Fruit works against candida despite what the

books tell us b/c it cleanses and heals the body. As long as you eliminate well

with a raw food diet, it will wipe out candida.

[RH]

That's interesting Regina. In my situation, I thought myself to be

hypoglycemic before I went 100% raw. Somehow eating lots of fruit took

care of it for me. I also had Candida and lowering the fat content got

rid of it for me.

 

What people don't understand is that our bodies can only use simple

sugars. If you eat a complex carbohydrate like a potato or bread it has

to be broken down into a simple sugar to be used as fuel. So we are

really using a simple sugar anyway. It just takes longer to be able to

access it.

[RH]

That's a great point Regina. I'm glad you told us your experience. I've

met 3 other people who cured their Candida while eating a high

percentage of fruit. There's a big difference between white sugar and

the sugar we get that comes by eating fruit.

Dr. Gerson's program recommends a low fat diet. He has a his patient's juice 13

glasses/day though. I'm going to look into your program a bit closer. I just

got off my last dose on thryoid meds a couple weeks ago and although I'm holding

my weight, I'd like to be a bit leaner and your diet my help. Give me your

feedback on that.

Roger,

 

The distinction between natural fruit sugar and processed

sugar is a guiding line for eating fruit at all!

 

Fruit is stacked with sugar which is central to most of

society's diseases and the heart of our proper diet.

Seemingly our bodies are at ease with fruit sugar unless

the latter has been through a process. Cane put through

the mill, sweeteners, etc., are bad news.

 

In the whole debate, sugar, unless out of fresh fruit,

sends the body into complex mode. The body asks. Use it?

Store it? Or else... Long term or short term. i.e.. store it

in the blood or churn it into fat. If unused stoke it in

arteries or choke up some other kind of illness? Plus when

this sugar/fat needs retrieving, the problems of ketones,

and other exceptional needs are confronted.

 

The trick is to get the sugar which is put in every day,

out the following.

 

Sans erudition, but with simplicity; sugar in fruit is our diet.

Muck around within it at your peril. Eat as you need.

 

Peter

Hi Regina,

 

You'll definitely lose weight with the Superbeing Raw Diet. Of the many

raw foodists I've met, at least 97% of them lost lots of weight while

eating as much raw food as they wanted.

 

Nevertheless, some people put on fat quite easily. They still have to

watch their portions and definitely need to stay away from too much fat.

But if you reduce the calories everyone will lose weight without

exception. Have you ever seen anyone gain weight on a 10 day fast? Raw

fats are much less dangerous and fattening than the cooked fats. But

they are still dangerous if overeaten, even if raw. At one point I ate

about 85% of my calories from raw fat and did not gain a single pound.

When I switched temporarily to eating non-fatty foods I lost 8 pounds in

10 days.

 

I must also say that for some reason I was also eating much fewer

calories than when I was eating my high fat raw diet. I didn't need

nearly as much fruit to sustain me as I thought I would. Now I've

increased my fruit consumption about 50% to see if it might put a little

more fat on me. I'm also doing some bodybuilding. I'm about 5% body fat

and quite muscular, though I don't look big. But when I take off my

shirt you see lots of well developed muscles.

 

I can certainly help you Regina. In fact, I'm having a sale on my Raw

Food Coaching Services. You can get a whole month of coaching via

telephone and email or just email for 1/3 the normal price if you

sign-up by Friday, December 20, 2002. I throw in some great bonuses as

well for trying out my coaching. Please email me directly at

roger if you want to know more of the details and all the

benefits you would get.

 

Thanks, Roger Haeske

I actually have competed a number of times in bodybuilding competitions. I help

people prepare for contests incorporating raw foods. This isn't to say I know

everything. I'm always open to learning more. Let me look through your page

and I'll let you know.
