Hi Shari,

 

I have found that this not true for me yet. I am much more resilient but I still

burn. I have

been 100% raw for more than 6 months. Maybe cause my ph is not always in

balance?

Greetings Minnie and all,

 

How long one has been eating RF, one's health coming into it, and in particular

the approach to

RF one is taking (what one is actually eating) significantly influence the

body's vital response

capacity in every respect. WRT sun exposure, Shari is eating a high-water,

low-fat diet

consisting of fruits and greens, either exclusively or nearly so. This diet

supports her system

in ways that no other diet of which I am aware can do; so it is not surprising

that her system

responds with great resilience, and quickly so, to increased sun exposure.

 

Minnie, as much as anything, the solution for you is time, patience. Take your

reacclimation

process to sunlight somewhat slowly. Begin during non-midday hours. It's better

to go out twice

for 1/2 hour each than once for an hour straight, at first. This gives your body

more

opportunity to recover from an exposure (rest), then respond, then be ready for

the next

exposure. It breaks up the response load into smaller increments, allowing your

system to adapt

more easily and therefore more successfully.

 

ANYTHING you put on your skin as " protection " interferes with this reacclimation

process. So if

your goal is to be able to enjoy as much sunshine as you wish, comfortably, then

let go of all

props and work back into it slowly. Work with your diet, over time. Attend to

your rest, for

most of what people call " cleansing " and " healing " occurs during rest, not

during activity.

 

Best to all,

Elchanan
