dehydration

[Guest guest]

I am having the same problems.

I decided to eat more oils and to put the coconut oil on my skin when I go

to bed at night.

 

I have been learning that the other " junk " lotions that we have been putting

on our skins all these years - have actually made our skin worse.

I heard that you should not put anything on your skin if you can't eat it.

It all goes right to your blood system.

 

Although I think it's a little better - I am not sure really.

 

I wonder what everyone else is doing too.

Work has been busy here and emails have not been high on my list, so I am behind

on many of the topics that have been going on.

 

On dehydration .... several points to consider...1) reduce the temp of the water

just a little as the hot water will be harder on the body and drying out 2)

using a lotion/cream that is less toxic and coconut oil is great however dry off

your body and apply immediately as you want to " seal in " the moisture from the

bath/shower. The coconut oil is fantastic and one I use several times a week.

I live in the NC mountains where the humidity can drop pretty low and I don't

have dry skin using this method and in the past I did.

As I recently found out, cracked lips can (but don't have to) be a

symptom of B complex deficiency.

Try drinking more water along with the coconut oil.

Thanks to everyone and their input.

I am not so " dry " as I have the wrinkle arms.

WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THAT??

I guess keeping eating the coconut oil, avocados and time will " heal " ????

Thanks everyone.

You are an incredible support to us " little " guys.

You could try the Dry Wrinkled Skin Oil in the files.

I will try to put up some more " body skin " oils... I know the creams

won't be a lot of people's cup of tea because of the beeswax.

And speaking of dehydration, I think we ought to be very skeptical when we

see that word on a label. Everybody has their own definition. I have tried

writing people about various powders, like spirulina or chlorella.

Typically I get vague answers when I ask for details about how the product

was dried, for how long and at what temperature. They say they don’t want

to give all the details because it is a “proprietary process.” I suspect

that in most instances “cooked” would be a more accurate characterization of

the process than “low temperature flash-dried” or whatever fancy name they

give to it. I would encourage anyone who is thinking of eating green powder

or raw cacao or goji berries or whatever to ask the seller some detailed

questions about the drying process. Their responses (or non-responses) may

tell you all you need to know. And even if their answers sound good, in the

end you are basically going on faith that they are telling you the truth.

The great thing about eating food just as it came from the garden, tree or

bush is that you don’t have to wonder whether it is really raw or not.

RE: dmso, oil pulling, and stuff

 

 

 

Hi Cheryl,

 

 

 

Sure, though it’s all a matter of degree. Dehydrating involves less

processing than cooking does, but some nutrient damage still occurs, even at

low temperatures. Dehydrated foods also are more difficult to digest. And

it is easier to overeat dehydrated foods them because of the smaller volume.

The water is in the food for a reason!

 

 

 

Also, packaged dehydrated foods that are sold in health foods stores as raw

crackers, etc., almost invariably have salt and/or spices added, and maybe

even oils. Essentially, they are trying to mimic the taste of the cooked

foods we are all familiar with.

 

 

 

I think that one tool we can use to recognize dogma and other BS is our

common sense. Common sense, for instance, tells me that it is better to eat

a head or two of lettuce a day than to eat 3 tablespoons of green powder

prepared by a special proprietary low temperature process that you can only

get from one particular raw food guru. It is one thing if a teacher sells

you his knowledge, but if he then uses that time to sell you more products,

then essentially you are listening to an infomercial.

Re: dmso, oil pulling, and stuff

 

 

 

Mark,

 

Thank you so much for your reply. Do you think that dehydrating food makes

it a " processed " food? I agree that it is wise to be skeptical of any sales

pitch! But frankly, anyone offering a book or consultation services is

" selling " . I have always had a problem with the dogma in nutrition (and

fitness) and have come to think of it all as just another theory/opinion. I

trust Mother Nature and do agree that raw plant based eating is the very

best we can do for our bodies! Thank you again for replying, honest dialogue

is always appreciated.

 

Peace on earth.

 

Cheryl

Here is something you should read about " raw " cacao before eating it.
