Guest guest Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Tanya, I've mentioned this on the list before, but you might have missed it. A friend of mine cured herself of fibro and has written a book about it called " Dying To Get Well " . She's wrapping up her second book now called " Raw and Juicy ... (with a subtitle I forget just now) " It's a compilation of stories from various people who have overcome illnesses with raw food. She just sent out a solicitation on one of her boards a week or so ago for contributions from new raw fooders for the chaper entitled " baby steps " . :-) You might be interested in contributing if you've seen improvements already. Her bulletin boards are at: http://pub41.ezboard.com/bdepoprovera. Nora -- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .

This process continued ad finitum could lock the body >into a response pattern of addiction which takes specific measures >to break. Interesting thought. I was thinking how cooked foods, as well as drugs, etc. definitely stimulate, or " excite " the body, even though it may be a burden on the body or " bad " for it. That stimulation, whether it be from the increase in white blood count (called " digestive leukocytosis " ) or another side effect, may contribute to the addictive quality of the foods. I suspect, as mentioned previously, that cooked food may also be addictive because of the effect on the other senses. Cooked foods release nutrients and aromas into the air, which stimulate our appetite through our sense of smell. Some of the most powerful memories are from the sense of smell. I can smell an aroma and a memory may come to mind from as long ago as my childhood! That may especially contribute to emotional addictions: grandma's cookies and pies, a favorite restaurant's special entree, etc. We may also have memories of the sounds of foods cooking, especially frying. How about the memory of mom boiling pasta. Cooked foods also produce a warmth on the skin as we lean over our plate, open the oven, or lean over the stove. On a cold day, stirring some stew may warm the fingers. We have lots of emotions (and senses) attached to foods. When we have spent, by far, a majority of our lives around those situations, we may find it difficult to let go. But... as we replace those memories and learn to attach the effects of those cooked foods, etc. instead, then instead of having such pleasant memories, we may (also) remember the colds and flues, aches and pains, and various diseases that we had at that time. That process of replacement can help some of the emotional addiction lose its power. As we learn to pay attention to the cause and effect relationship of our food and how we feel (how our health is) it becomes easier to make better decisions (IMO). I use to have an emotional (and probably physical) addiction to chocolate. I recognized that I did not feel as good hours after eating the chocolate. I felt worse than before eating it. I was not 100%, which is what I prefer. Each time I ate it I became more and more convinced it did not serve me (even though tasty.) Finally, that was enough. My desire for better health was stronger than my desire for chocolate. Now my curiosity has taken me to trying " raw chocolate " , but that's another story! As Eric hit upon, cooked foods may stimulate the opiates in our brains. These opiates can create a pleasant feeling, masking the other problems going on in the body because of the cooked foods. I suspect, as Dr. Neal Barnard discusses in his new book, if people took opiate blockers, they would probably lose interest in a lot of foods they are eating on a S.A.Diet. Regarding addictions within raw foods, I have had issues with salt (sea salt). I have gotten off of it many times, then back on it again. I have not been strict with myself to absolutely remove it permanently, but I have recognized that i may not feel 100%. This difference is far more subtle compared to chocolate (or alcohol, opium?, etc.) I have also noticed feeling better on a simpler diet (mono), but find myself wanting more flavor after a while and having more interest to mix (raw) foods. I recognize an addiction here (though subtle), but don't quite understand it. Perhaps the mixing of foods (certainly the addition of salt), has that stimulating effect on the body which addicts us. Any other thoughts on raw food addictions? Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 I'm sorry. I didn't get that you wanted to know what sometimesimcold means . When I created this email, I tried a few different names. You know how is, EVERYTHING is already taken. I was actually physically a little chili and just typed it in being silly. It worked and I kind of liked the name so I kept it. Certainly, I would love for you to be in the directory. I am just getting information right now. Thank you for the apology, no harm done.
