Learning about the RF lifestyle: Two alternative paths (WAS: Cleansers)

[Guest guest]

Hi Connie,

I recommend a rather different approach, as follows:

 

1. Return as many of those books as you can, before the return dates expire.

(Yes, I'm serious.)

 

2. Find ONE ... yes ONE ... teacher whom you trust, and learn from that

person, period.

 

Imagine a professional athlete. Now imagine that athlete hiring a trainer.

 

Now imagine that athlete hiring TWO trainers at the same time. Oops!

 

Now imagine that athlete trying to compete successfully by reading books

about what to do.

 

Now ask yourself one, simple question: Do you wish to succeed with your

health at the level of a professional?

 

Get the picture. Most RFs experience endless confusion. This confusion is of

their own creation, the result of the way in which they choose to learn.

Seeking out 50 conflicting opinions will get you exactly two results:

confusion, followed by relative paralysis.

 

It really is a choice, just like everything in life!

 

Best,

Elchanan

Hi Everyone!

 

No, I do not mean Comet! I mean the fasting ones. I have a question. What

is the difference in value to your health between the fasting cleansing and

colonics? I have been doing a bit of reading now that I finally got my

shipment of books yesterday, and the current book I have dived into is

recommending colonics on a fairly regular basis. I have never had anything

like this, and it does not sound pleasant, nor do I really in my heart think

that this is really necessary. I am skeptical of the whole concept of

carrying around waste matter from the dinner I ate back in 1995.

It just does not make sense to me. For me personally, I do not have any

problems with elimination. I never have had. Today, ODDLY enough, I do

feel backed up and have been having rolling stomach pains on and off all

day, and have stopped eating anything because it starts up with the pains.

(I have no clue as to that, actually) Right now, I am getting hungry, but I

still have not cleared whatever it is that is backed up. This is a new

experience for me. For me, I am very regular, three to four times a day. I

am so sorry to be so graphic. TMI! I am just still feeling my way about

this and trying to sort out the overload of information that I have been

reading. Anyway, I was also wondering if a fasting cleanse would be

beneficial to do before trying to do 100% raw? Would it make the detox

easier? Would it eliminate the need for a colonic? Any wisdom and balanced

recommendations are welcomed.

I like what you said about who to learn from. I'm sticking to Ann

Wigmore I like what she has had to say. I want to read all she has and

try it for now I know some the said not to use her juice but I will

give it a try and see what it does for me it is so easy to make and

cheap. That is what I like about it. It go alone with what I have

found else that seems to work for me. I drink hot water and apple

cider Vinagar in the mornings. I'm going to do a juice cleans for 3

days this week and water 1 day.

Fabulous, Shannon! I'm not trying to steer people toward a particular

teacher, my personal preferences are my own. But I DO believe that most of

the confusion people experience would diminish considerably if they would

simply choose one teacher, or at least one teacher at a time.

 

Best,

Elchanan
