Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I have to tell yo that I have been raw for over 8 years and I too still get bites. I have all the other wonderful effects of Living Live. I was in Kingston , Jamaica doing a Living Food Program For Bob Marley's family and I got two bites . I was in Ghana and I did not get any bites . I was in the mountains both times. The mountains usually have less skeeters. , Any way I still get bites. Maybe because I was a diabetic before going on Live Food. Lynda Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I've gotta refute this mosquitoes thing, just from personal experience. I've been vegetarian for 20yrs and even now that I am eating almost ALL raw fruits/sprouted seeds/veggies (about three months) the mosquitoes are still coming after me like crazy. I mean, if I am with ten other people, I will get five times more bites than any of the other people. This was the same with my father and my grandfather. The whole family is anemic due to heredity, a Mediterranean condition. I am sure without a doubt the going raw has helped my general health, will have to see the blood test from my next physical to see wh/nt the anemia has improved. However, just wanted to say that I do not believe it is toxins from an unhealthy diet that are attracting all of these mosquitoes, and that going raw has not improved that. In fact, I got a bunch of new bites last night. And I AM a sweetie pie (diet wise, anyway!), for sure. So maybe they just like sweetie pies like me. , " Elaine " <shortydemp wrote: > > It's simple Scott. What goes in must come out. When you consume dead > food, dead odor comes out.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hi Poppy, I don't think 3 months is quite long enough to show you a real difference. We were well into our second year of raw when we noticed. You must consider also that although you were a vegetarian for 20 years, your veggies had been heated and or frozen which changed the molecular structure and therefore, your foods weren't 100% live. I would suggest giving raw a little longer and check out what happens next mosquito season.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Thanks for writing. More likely, the particular construction of your RF program. There are many ways ... and most leave the body in a continual state of undernourishment (though not nearly as severely so as with SAD eaters).

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 I don't do that any more.
