How I've learned the deadly arrogance of the modern medical establishments approaches and the importance of proper food intake.
In my teenage years I was experiencing lots of pain and discomfort, depression and anxiety from a malnourished condition derived from eating a diet consisting on mostly cold cereal and cows milk multiple years, and being raised on the Standard American Diet, S.A.D..
In 2005 my mother was diagnosed with 2 weeks to live, after attending doctors weekly all year attempting to learn what was causing her so much pain she eventually learned that she had a very large cancerous tumour in her colon reaching into her uterus and other organs, the tumour was at certain angles around 14 inches long stated doctors conclusion of x-rays. To my shock with allopathic medicine(Modern Medical Establishments) in the following months she was subjected to chemical burns and radiation burns which did reduce the size of the tumour to about half, but also left 3rd degree burns all over her groin and abdomen. During the days and weeks of living at the hospital in Minneapolis and visiting my mother in the burn ward I swore I would do anything to reduce her pain just a fraction and would never allow myself to put my own life in the hands we mistakenly call doctors (doctor means to help). As Hippocrates, A real doctor said, First do no harm.
I began my journey into the webs of the internet after my mothers results with allopathics to find hundreds of opinions and conflicting 'facts'. Each author seemed as honest and good hearted as the last but so many with apparent errors in their philosophy. Putting together pieces of the puzzle is still part of my life and a strong part of the last 5 years of my life. Funny how my reality is the more I learn the more I accept that I don't know much at all. I can heal myself of any disease or deadly virus by understanding the human body and utilizing herbal nutrition and exciting therapies, with a small garden I can provide nutrition for a family medicine for a block and knowledge for a town. True health is given by holistic teaching someone not prescribing their life into a pill.
I researched on the internet intensively at first learning about all the unhealthy aspects of the foods I origionally was taught and thought to be healthy and life sustaining. Things like meat, white bread, Eggs, cheese, Vitamin and Mineral supplements in foods and waters and diet beverages etc. The lies about food seemed never ending until I slowly got onto the tracks of the mucusless diet, there are many names that are along the same lines such as raw vegan, hunza diet I think is another. The main idea is that you eat foods that are in a high vibrational state currently sustaining and containing life providing assimilable nutrition through the process of osmosis(bringing water and nutrients from the ground into the plant). Plant food is key, not just any plants but plants that are in the growing state of life typically alkaline or alkaline forming when ingested. edible and delicious. Things like seeds, nut and grains should be slow cooked, soaked or sprouted to bring them out of the dormant acidic state and into the flavourful alkaline environment where they are preparing to grow roots. Fruits and Vegetables are godlike productions of human food
Soon into the initial years of self education I learned that from my common diet I likely had built kidney stones from my body using excessive calcium to bond to protein and other elements to force eliminating of toxic junk out my urinary system. Cows milk alike meat contains too much protein for the human body and this makes the body use any calcium it can find to encompass the protein to get it eliminated from the body. But all too often the channels of elimination (Bowel, kidney, lungs and skin) are congested to a state that the body must deposit the toxic waste in odd places(joints, tissues, fat and organs). I beleive this bodily nutritional void is a much more common situation than you would imagine. Excessive hormones mostly from cheese has caused our age of maturation for females to drop from the age of 18-20 in the sixties to 12-15 in the nineties!
Around a year into my mothers treatment she was recovering slowly and as she said, what brought her through the pain and death was love, lots of hope and help from a product called flora-essence. I sold my Isuzu trooper that summer to afford a omega juicer. I and my mother started juicing occasionally and somewhat blindly tried fasting to cleanse our kidneys and livers. Without proper preparation or much knowledge we still tried cleanses, the fasting was still effective and noticeable. Overall diet is the most important role in healing and for many also the most difficult thing to change. In my experience not because of the taste, but more so the ignorance of how to make good healthy raw foods and society constantly bombarding us with sugary, fat-filled, deep fried foods, advertisements and recommendations. The simple way to say it is that these highly processed foods, fats and sugars cause addictions and that is a big issue mainly when confronted with the option to eat them. What you must do is not beat yourself up over occasionally eating such foods but try to learn how you feel afterwards and ask yourself why you chose it.
I wish it was as easy for you to learn what I have just by reading my website and realizing what I have, but the reality is you will have to learn it yourself from your own life threatening illness, sudden revelation or whatever it is. My mother is alive and doing amazing, she roughly eats 60% raw 40% cooked or various foods and has learned to enjoy her life for what it's worth even more!
I am now 23 and eat %100 raw vegan for about two years with a few months of back n fourth last summer, I've been biking all summer 2011. Pain is very short lived if ever ntoicable but I am young they say, although I feel ancient at times of reflection. I am interested in creating answers for societies problems or finding them and applying them to our lives so we can try to get on the right track with our civilization. I hope to get solar panels, greenhouses, businesses, aquaponics and rammed earth construction started and completed within the near future.
This is me and the biggest cantaloupe I have ever had the pleasure of eating.
By the way cantaloupes and melons are among the fastest foods digestible, followed by most fruits then vegetables then nuts and of course cooked constipating proccessed or animal foods coming in last.
