Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Yes, thanks Terry, this is exactly my intent. For example, if you try a little from what Doug Graham teaches and a little from what Gabriel Cousins teaches and a few recipes from Alyssa Cohen all mixed together, you may enjoy some nice-tasting meals, but you will not become very healthy very quickly. The underlying beliefs and knowledge bases upon which these various people rely are simply too different. And what I see commonly is people trying this for a week or two, then that for a few weeks ... and NEVER actually staying with anything long enough to learn it and to do what is actually being taught. Regardless of what program you choose to follow at any given time, if you want to achieve the results that a given teacher achieves, then you pretty much have to do as that teacher does. You cannot learn 811 in a week, or simply from reading Doug's book. You cannot learn Gabriel's or Alyssa's or anyone else's program that way, either. Until you approach things from a place of genuine curiosity and wide-eyed wonderment, until you COMMIT to learn one thing really well, you will not likely succeed. All this has nothing to do with anything I may teach, in particular. It has to do with each of us creating success in our own life ... or not. The kind of sharing that goes in a group such as this is wonderful, in my opinion. And at the same time, I believe it's important to comprehend the limitations on what one can likely ever learn in such a haphazard milieu. So it depends on each person's goals. If your goal is " to share " and " don't tell me what to do " , then you shall continue to produce in your life results generally similar to the results you are presently producing. But I suspect not many come here wishing to continue to produce in their lives what they are presently producing. So perhaps a VERY different approach to learning is in order, then. Just a thought...

This is a good place for eveyone to share, no one has said otherwise. But I think in the end you have to find one way, that works for you, and follow that. For instance some people like the 811 way others prefer other 'teachings'. In the end you need to pick one way that works for you otherwise you are going to be going in many different directions with conflicting information and accomplsihing nothing. That is what I took from what was posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 I agree. I have found that there is a fundamental exception to every great teacher's teachings. Dr. Ann Wigmore didn't use herbs much. Dr. Furhman doesn't think organic makes a difference. Dr. Barnard doesn't get raw, only vegan. Other doctors are brilliant but don't believe in mucoid plaque. Some would say the 811 diet is omega-deficient. Royal Rife didn't talk much on diet, but healed many diseases. Gershin (sp?) uses some animal products (but recently quit!) Hulda Clark ate meat. Some would say other raw diets are too fatty. A lot of raw food is poorly combined. And so forth. Take the good and leave the bad with most teachings, and follow many. LOTS have been successful with beating diseases. There is not just one path. Don't just follow one guru is one of the wisest things I pass on to my students. So I would say just the opposite.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 This is just a difference in perspective.. like the difference between concave and convex when its still a bowl. until a person picks ONE path they can not be said to be travelling to ONE destination and becoming expert in that ONE. Yes thers many ways to do the same thing..but when you look at the details you see there are differences. When you say take them all in what youre saying is those differences arent very important. Because there are flat out contradictions and you cant do them all. if you want to learn it all and do your own thing, thats great. But you probably wont reach a level of expertise that you could reach if you stuck to one. In other words...you could be a mutt or you could be a pure breed. Both are still dogs. But dont we admire the pure breeds more? Arent theymore refined and unique? More......special? mutts are friendlier tho'..........easier...not fussy. maybe thats the issue....its just easier to pick and choose than stay within limits. Im certain essenes stayed within limits.. On 5/25/07, School Of Rawk <schoolofrawk wrote: > I agree.

One person says For example: That is good for you, Other person says: That is not good for you, Another person says: That is good for you IF you, blah,blah,blah.... The next person says: That is NOT good for you UNLESS you, blah,blah, blah..

This is perhaps I am not offended when someone says or suggests something I might find wacky. Someone else out there might just be looking for that answer, while it might not be my answer. I am speaking in All generalities because it seems to happen with just about any subject there is. Now............ I still find I am enjoying and taking it all in. It just gives me more to sift through. It compells me to open my mind wider and to do even more research for myself and at the end of the day doing what I feel will work for me, based on all on it. I look at it like cooking. I used to be an avid cook. I love to cook. So for me it's like searching for the perfect recipie.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 it came across nasty to me. But I guess I still see it as agreeing or disagreeing nothing more serious. Anyone is allowed to post and say I would do this or that and then I feel it is us to us an individuals to make a choose from all the information given. I do not see anyone else being asked to post all their personal info and training on here so it seems unfair to me. I guess I do not see it as anything serious and he is giving his opinions and I don't feel he 'owes' anyone any information. Why does he have to 'address' anyone demanding his credentials? Seems like he has been singled out to me and that is why I felt compelled to respond. deborah164951 <thisgeneration wrote: Hi I think if someone had said my posts were 'nastiness', I'd be crying...but I think Sherrard's probably made of tougher stuff!

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 very good example! My husband goes to the gym and there are several trainers there, each with a different program, all may work, but he had to pick only one trainer to work with and follow him. Elchanan <Elchanan wrote: Consider the circumstance of any professional athlete. A professional athlete has ONE trainer. The athlete may choose a different trainer at some future time, but at any point in time, ONE. Why? Because you cannot do 2 different programs concurrently and achieve successful results. I have not written anything about " TRUTH " , I have not suggested that I should be that teacher. I have only suggested choosing one. Debbie Took has offered at least one thoughtful alternative.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 You completely misread (or didn't read) and/or didn't understand his original post. He obviously meant that in general, the average person you meet at work etc doesn't know the first thing about what's healthy to eat and what's not. Just today a co-worker told me he thought coffee had no ill-effects whatsoever, that it was " good " for you because it gives you a " boost " . That is the state of nutritional knowledge the average person has, and that is clearly what Elchanan was referring to in regards to taking advice from " people " . He also clearly stated that pretty much any particular knowledgeable practitioner in nutrition can help you achieve health and weight loss, and that it is easiest to stick to ONE at any particular time so as to not become confused with possibly conflicting information, such as combining/not combining food, for example. Lastly, I challenge you to find ANY post of his in this forum where he asks for money. As for working with people more closely in regards to their specific health needs, well, that takes time and energy, and should be a service a person is happy to pay for if they are unable or unwilling to pick up a book and read it and learn it themselves. Please, at least TRY to put some effort into understanding what you read before you take the easy way out and blindly attack that which you clearly do not understand.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 I too took the " people " thing to mean people in general. Which people in general often have food related health issues of their own and the advice they give is just advice they have heard or read. Not necassarily first hand knowledge. Kind of like taking financial advise from people that are broke.
