Questions - Mineral Broth

[Guest guest]

Lesa,

 

It sounds as if your body is detoxing (diareah and fatigue are classic

symptoms), especially if you've only been raw since June. Even with all the

cleansing I did, I still detoxed for the first year and half (seems like my nose

was always dripping!). It varies person to person depending on how much toxic

build up you start with. If you want to find out more about it you can read a

book by Dr. Richard Anderson called: Cleanse and Purify Thyself - Book 1.

 

To help with cleansing reactions, you can also add more minerals to the diet.

Most of us are depleted of minerals and when the body is detoxing it actually

requires extra minerals. Try drinking this mineral broth on a daily basis. One

batch should last 3 days in the fridge, but feel free to drink it in a day if

you want:

 

Mineral Broth

Put 3 quarts of water in a large soup pan and add the following

3 - 4 upeeled organic pototaes, chopped

3 - 4 stalks organic celery, chopped

a large handful of organic greens

 

Simmer for 20 minutes, discard the vegetables and drink the broth (the veggies

can be composted or used for a soup for family or friends if they are not raw)

 

Feel free to add other veggies and spices to create a tasty broth. I usually

add at least half an onion, a clove or two of garlic, organic carrots, a little

lemon juice (add this after the broth has been separated from the veggies),

cayenne pepper, celtic sea salt, various herbs (rosemary is yummy!).

 

You can also find high quality supplements designed by Dr Anderson to whole and

alive still.

(http://ariseandshine.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS & Category=3) The

products to select from would be: Alkalizer; ElectroLife; FundaMinerals (do the

powder, the liquid version tastes horrible I've heard); PowerUp

 

Good luck on your raw journey!

Paula

[Raw Food] Questions

 

Hi all,

I've been 100% raw vegan since June. My health and wieght have

improved tremendously. I am on a fixed income and had been

selectively purchasing from a local farmers market trying to steer

clear of pestiside prone fruits and vegies.. This past week I made

the big switch to all organic, well except for the spinich and lemon

I ate while out at a chinese restaraunt with friends. I've been

tired and pardon the TMI loose... this doesn't seem right to me -

although I'm listening to my body and since I have no other

obligations today, I'm right here at home resting and going slow.

Today I've had a smoothie made w/2 org. bananas and a handful of

organic spinich, a slice of my raw org. apple pie (only apples,

dates & almonds w/cinnamon & lemon). I'm wondering if this seems

normal or if maybe I just picked up a bug (say it isn't so -- I

haven't been sick in soooooo long).

 

Another question - I've lost 65ish pounds (87#s in a year) and even

with some excersize (I'm not an addict) I've got loose skin. Now

I've seen Angela Stokes who looks great, she's quite a bit younger

than me tho. And I've spoken with Dr. Besci who said to give it 1

1/2 years and then decide about plastic surgery. He said that the

body tho amazing can only absorb about 6 " of loose skin and if I

have more than that I will need to decide about surgery. Has anyone

else dealt with this - what research did you do, how did you decide?

what was your result? ....

 

Thanks in advance,

Just the stuff on my mind today

Lesa

Paula & others,

Thank you so very much for your replies and encouragement. They

have been greatly needed. I didn't realize the need for support

with this lifestyle until recently.

 

Paula, someone else suggested mineral need as well and suggested a

different " soup " -- Warmed only slightly (whatever degree you feel

is still raw) chickpea 'raw' fermented miso, nori (laver) seaweed

not the sheets but the pieces straight from the sea, organic

mushrooms, organic celery, ginger & cayenne. Seemed to feel good

going down, I've had 2 quarts of it today and yes I do feel a bit

better. My nose is still running - but I'll give it time. It seems

strange to me that I didn't do any detox prior to this, past the

once a month pimple or something. Oh well - better out than in -

and here's to future days of feeling GREAT! (thanks to Tony the

Tiger for that punctuation mark)

 

Someone else suggested I look into the fruit'juice' FEAST that

Angela Stokes is currently trying...

 

I'm also going to see Dr. Graham speak tonight in NYC.... it's only

$5 and at the Hartley House on 46th St between 9th & 10th Aves at

7pm.
