Guest guest Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Coming in a little late, but I think I've read most of them. I have done a lot of testing and heard of many more, (I help run a support group for children with various digestive disorders). Let's not forget that a lab test is a " snapshot in time " , the numbers can be completely different minutes later. You are wise to not worry about this one. The suggestion to find a doc or lab that has a on-site facility is very important imho. Also, you need to establish a baseline and be consistent, so since this last draw was not fasting you can't use it. So you are back to square one. Next time you test your blood (which you can do now if you wish) , make it a fasting one, get a copy for yourself and file it. Then 3-4 months later do the same test(s) and then you can start comparing numbers.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 That's OK, I needed to hear it again. I don't remember it from the first posting of it. So my bad stuff is coming out into my bloodstream as a process of osmosis. I'm still in a lot of detox pain, I swear it's all mental, but I suppose there could be something to this physical aspect. " Still, " ha, 25 days, big deal, see how sensitive I am to pain of any kind. We live in the instant gratification age, but I swear I'm worse about it than most. That's the reason why I haven't been able to stay raw for the long run ever, because I've never been willing to feel the feelings and the rest of the process all the way through. A year sounds like an eternity to me. If only I had patience or the ability to do the smae things for a long period of time. If I ever had any of this ability, I lost it around 1997. Going from one thing to the next, not sticking anything out for any length of time. Pray for me group, pray that I see this process all the way through. Of course, I don't believe in any benefits to prayer so you can skip that one if you want. rawfood , " lane lynn " <lanie@p...> wrote: > Oops sorry Diana. Just read your next post.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Can you all tell me where to start - say Day 1 - what to eat; Day 2 - what to eat; Day 3 - what to eat? I am disabled, very hard for me to sit and search on internet for the " process " and how to start. I would appreciate very much any help. - Rawist rawfood Saturday, January 15, 2005 6:59 PM Re: [Raw Food] Ooops...Cleaning out the Cholesterol That's OK, I needed to hear it again.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 I will try to tell you something to eat. It's difficult because everyone here has different paths and no matter what you eat there will be those that say you shouldn't do it that way. But I will describe a simple way that works for me. Marilyn Diamond said, " At first, don't worry about condiments. " That makes sense to me. Meanwhile, my simple how to go raw method. Day one. Buy: Lots of blanched almonds. 4bunches of bananas. some berries good lettuce 6 avocados sprouts carrots some other veggies, yellow pepper, cauliflour vegenaise with grape seed oil some tasty fruits, like persimmons, grape fruit, melon, kiwi, apples peanut butter, (the more fresh, the more raw, the better. At any rate, not Skippy.) Good water if you don't have it. OK now you are ready to go. At first you may tend to overeat. Don't sweat this. It will pass. Morning. Do not eat until you are hungry. then have a smoothie. Here's how to make it. Grind some blanched almonds in the blender. Add water. Blend. This makes almond milk. Add some bananas. Three oughta do it. Add some berries. Blend. I have one of these every morning. At first you may want several. Be sure to put enough nuts so you will feel sated. Be sure not to let yourself feel deprived while you are transitioning. Keep plenty of good food around. If you used enough nuts this should keep you satisfied for a while. When hungry, have fruit. Any fruit. Have two apples with the nut butter, on the slices. that was lunch. Yum. Dinner. Make a plate fresh cauliflower fresh lettuce whole leaves, an avocado cut in half with the pit removed, some sprouts, some cut up veggies, like zucchini, carrots etc. If this is hard to enjoy without dressing, put a dollop of the vegenaise on your plate. This is basically oil. Dip a bit of cauliflower into the vegenaise, add some lettuce and sprouts to your bite. Or without the vegenaise, use a bit of avocado in each bite. Munch this fresh dish. If you get panicky or hungry during the day, make extra smoothies or eat some more fruit that appeals to you. I think this is a simple, easy way to ease into the raw lifestyle. Many here will have other ways. By the way for days two three and four, repeat these directions. There is enough flexibility to change things. Be sure to always have plenty of ripe fruit around. One last thing. Some nights I just don't feel like a salad type meal. Then I just have a piece or more of fruit instead. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 I can't. I just eat fresh, whole raw fruits, vegetables and nuts. I just nibble in my garden, i.e., eat whatever amounts of whichever of these items I want at any given meal. This isn't the standard raw food diet. But, for example, what I have right now to munch on at each meal is broccoli, cucumber, tomato, bell pepper, grapefruit, orange, asparagus (yuck, I don't like this one much, may not buy it again), mangos, avocados, lettuce, raw hazelnuts, pinenuts, cashews, macadamias, and sunflower seeds (I just stocked up on nuts), sweet potato, carrot, greenbeans, kiwi, grapes and pineapple. Whew, I really have a lot of plant food. It doesn't look like that much in the refrigerator. rawfood , " corsaro_family " <corsaro_family@j...> wrote: > > > Can you all tell me where to start - say Day 1 - what to eat; Day 2 - what to eat; Day 3 - what to eat? > > I am disabled, very hard for me to sit and search on internet for the " process " and how to start.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 I know I do; over the years I have come to believe more and more in the power of prayer and intention, and holding people in my heart to God. I no longer pray specifics, since I have no idea what a person may really need, but I can hold them in my heart. It may help, it may not, I don't know, but I know it has helped make me more aware of the needs of people and the world, and I hope helps me become more compassionate.
