Shari - purpose of this list

[Guest guest]

I also have a question about what Shari stated in her well-expressed posting

below:

" My living, breathing, blood pumping body can only utilize fresh, whole, sun

ripened fruit to repair and build a better me. For me that is so simple, why

muck it up with grains, sprouts, dried fruits, and dead supplements?

- I've not yet come across any notion that sprouts would be

not-so-optimal...where can I find any info about that? Because I include

sprouts in my meals throughout the day on the premise that they are nutritional

powerhouses of concentrated vitamins, minerals, aminos and most importantly,

enzymes. I look to them as people on the SAD look to aggressive

supplementation.

Thanks,

Tiffany Lohr

Thanks, Judy. This is something I like to do, but when all I hear is " yeah,

but... " . It's rather like trying to work with an alcoholic. (I've been in

recovery for 19.5 years.) I will talk to anyone interested in recovering, but

not when they are drunk. They cannot hear anything being said. When they are

just a little sober and desperate is the best time to get them to accept the

fact they have a problem and there is a solution - AA. In this case there is a

solution to all my problems today and it's called Natural Hygiene, mono eating,

whatever term you choose to call a natural way of eating.

When we choose to eat " just a little cooked food " or " just some fish " or " I only

take it when.... " we are perpetuating the believe that we know better than our

body. I, personally, do not believe I know better than my body or my creator

what is best for me. If I was standing in front of you screaming " don't step in

front of that bus! " . Would you? I think not. Well, when I eat cooked, processed,

very flavorful spices, or even supplements my body screams at me " don't do

that " ! And if you can't hear it in your own body, you are deaf. Deaf in the

sense that you have dulled your own intuition for so long you cannot hear or

feel when you have eaten or taken something that is not an optimal food.

I'm not saying I will never eat onions or garlic again, I'm just saying that for

me it makes my body scream! And I'm tired of my body being pissed off at me. I

choose to eat simply so that others may simply eat. And I, for the life of me,

do not understand how my body can derive any goodness from a pill that has been

so processed as to be compressed into such a tiny shape. Or how my living body

can get any nourishment out of green grass powder (yes, I've taken them, I am

even a Health Minister from Hallelujah Acres and a Director with the AIM

company, both places advocate a green barley juice).

My living, breathing, blood pumping body can only utilize fresh, whole, sun

ripened fruit to repair and build a better me. For me that is so simple, why

muck it up with grains, sprouts, dried fruits, and dead supplements?

It takes energy to digest everything and personally I would prefer to eat the

live foods that take little energy for digestion and save what is left for

things I like to do, rock climbing, mountain climbing, sky diving, challenge

course running, triathlons, all of these things started after I was 50! And my

times have improved on my tris when I gave up the dried green juice stuff!!

I had been going mostly raw for about two weeks. Felt better, and really

enjoyed it. Then, my money got short, I bought some cheese-its because they

would last longer than the fruit, and would stretch farther. But, I ate them,

felt sluggish, sleepy, stuffed, and totally out of sorts. I can't wait for

Thursday. PAY-DAY. I'm going to hit the grocery store's produce isle, and the

farmers' market.

I think I meant sprouted grains and just put a comma in the wrong place or my

brain was off. I might eat alfalfa sprouts sometimes. If and when I can get

them, I do enjoy sunflower sprouts. We are putting together a greenhouse and

hopefully I will be able to plant and harvest sunflower sprouts for myself.
