Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Mark - are you SURE you want to start Phase I in the middle of the best time of year for fruit?! Joe and I did Phase I during February and March of this year. How long are you planning? It was tough but I was really feeling well by the end of 50 days, that was our goal. Joe was a basket case as far as craving fruit. Which is very interesting because he is the one more stringent about his diet than I and I was just humming right along at the end. There are a couple other folks on the Seattle list that have done Phase I. I'd be interested in hearing from them. Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Shari, Jeez, you're right, good point! But to tell you the truth, I'm burning out on fruit. Too yin or something. I need to make some changes. I don't know, what did Cousens say, three months for phase 1? I'm going to get into the recipe thing, which I've never done before. Seems like a big year for changes, personally (wife moving out), business, etc. Might as well change my diet too, I don't feel like " composting " any more!. It's wonderful that you have a partner to do this with. Somebody asked here recently about getting some dark field blood testing done. Does anybody know a place locally that will do it? I don't even know my blood type. Mark Mark - are you SURE you want to start Phase I in the middle of the best time of year for fruit?! Joe and I did Phase I during February and March of this year.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Hi Mark, I'm with Shari -- don't give up on fruit! Especially right now, with all the great stuff available, holy cow ... figs, cherries, melons, nectarines, apricots, even fresh durian for the fiscally foolhardy! Maybe we can explore what is motivating the desire to change your diet. What does 'burning out' mean? Do you have symptoms? What are you not getting that you want, health-wise? I think it would be great to talk about it, 'cause I'm sure there are others struggling with the same issues. What do ya think? Nora Mark Hovila wrote: > Shari, > > Jeez, you're right, good point!

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Mark has reasons for wanting to change his diet. Can't they be respected without having to know exactly what they are, and trying to talk him out of them? Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Martha, I suppose that he'd know that best. List members have reasons for making suggestions too, usually that they want to do everything they can to help him succeed by having the most complete information available. I didn't perceive that anyone was talking him in or out of anything - he can consider and choose what he thinks is best for him if he has the most complete and accurate information possible. But thanks for asking. I hope this was a good answer.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Nora, I'm not giving up on fruit completely, just sweet fruit for a while. Cousens motivated me to try this with the research he shared in Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 I, myself, have resisted dropping all sugars including fruit from my nutrition because I know fruit is good. However, with a deeply entrenched candida problem, FRUIT IS BAD. Now, I am beginning my 4th week with no sugar and feel better than I've felt in years. - Martha Burton RawSeattle Sunday, June 27, 2004 5:26 PM Re: [RawSeattle] Phase I Mark has reasons for wanting to change his diet.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 As far as feeling badly while on Phase 1, there are things that can be done to lessen, if not completely obliterate any of the reactions you may have while the candida is dying off. If you all don't know, I am 100% for cleansing. I have talked to my health coach about the candida cleanse and he said to do the following - which he learned from his naturopath friend in California (believe it or not, the naturopath is raw!). The products he mentions are from 'Arise and Shine' cleansing products. I will just include the excerpt from his email below.... ******************************** Here's the usage guidelines: Yeast End - 1 and a 1/2 of the yellow scooper 3 times per day after or in between meals. Flora Grow - Take 3 capsules twice per day in between meals. Keep the Flora Grow & Yeast End 2 and a 1/2 hours apart. Pro-seed - 8-10 drops mixed well in 5 oz. or more or juice, tea, or water, 2-3 times per day, before, during or after meals. If she has ElectroLife, take 2-3 capsules per day with meals. Do a couple water enemas per week....and do 1 coffee enema per week. It would be good to do Flora Grow implants by opening 6-8 capsules in 16 ounces of spring water, soak for 48 hours. Stir and keep covered. Room temp is fine for storage. The divide amount in 1/2 and you'll use 8 ounces at a time. Then put in enema bag. Take the bacteria saturated enema water into the colon and hold for as long as you can lying on the right side with knees drawn up to chest. After you are done with that one, take the other 8 ounces and ad another 8 ounces of straight spring water. Leave overnight. The next day implant the entire solution and repeat the same process. **************************************************** Perhaps this info will help. There is more information on the enemas and implants in Dr Anderson's books (Cleanse and Purify Thyself - Book 1 and Book 2) Paula RawSeattle , " Mark Hovila " <hovila@c...> wrote: > Shari, > > Jeez, you're right, good point!

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Cleansing the bowel does reduce a lot of symptoms. If you have the money, a colonic will cleanse the bowel much more thoroughly than an enema. Putting coffee into the bowel is not a very healthful thing to do, some of the liquid is absorbed through the intestinal lining and goes into the bloodstream. Coffee is a stimulant with substances like caffeine and theobromine, which are not good for the body.
