You Are WHAT You Eat

[BrownEye]

ACCORDING to a common, rather simplistic notion, we are what we eat. On a far more empirical level, epidemiological studies reveal a connection between diet and adverse health consequences. Many observed differences in cancer rates worldwide, including incidences of colon and breast cancer, are linked to variations in human diets.
Although the compounds we study are present in very small amounts, they are also the most mutagenic compounds ever found, and they produce tumors in mice, rats, and monkeys

Cooked and processed foods are so hard on the body that they actually bring on a condition called digestive leucocytosis. The body considers cooked food to be a foreign substance, an unwanted invader and eating cooked food causes the white blood cell count to rise!
Further, if enzymes are not present in the food you eat, not only is the body overtaxed, but also food is often only partially digested. This causes additional problems, including allergies, and lethargy.
Eventually, as your body's stores of digestive enzymes are depleted, you become unable to digest certain foods at all. For example, if you were to use up your supply of lactase enzymes (from eating enzyme-deficient milk products) you would become lactose intolerant.
There are three classes of enzymes: metabolic enzymes, which run every process in the body; digestive enzymes, which help digest or foods; and food enzymes from raw foods, which start food digestion. All of our organs and tissues are run by metabolic enzymes.

The Right To Know
Meat-eaters have a right to know what the cows, pigs, lamb and hens and turkeys they consume are fed on. Among other ingredients those herbivorous animals are given reject meat mixed with fecal matter (pooh) to eat. The shocking information that follows comes from fourth-generation dairy farmer and cattle rancher Howard Lyman, the Cattle Rancher Who Won’t Eat Meat.

Rendering Plants
When an animal is killed for food, about half of its weight is not sold to the human food industry. The intestines (and their contents!), the head, hooves, and horns, the bones and blood are deposited into huge grinders at “rendering” plants. Also entire carcasses that are diseased are added to the rendering mix. Rendering is a multi billion-a-year industry, dealing with fifty billion pounds of animal parts and sick animals a year. No animal is too ill, too cancerous, or too decomposed to be included in the raw product of a rendering plant.

Protein Concentrates
At the rendering plant these horrid ingredients are then ground and steam-cooked, the lighter, fatty materials float up to the top, get refined and used in products such as lubricants, cosmetics, soaps, candles, and waxes (!) The rest, heavier protein stuff is dried and made into a brown powder that includes fecal material. This brown powder is added to almost all pet food as well as to livestock feed. It is called "protein concentrates".

Questions:
Why is one animal chosen as a pet above another? One beloved pet is spoiled with the other animal in tins: salmon, tuna, duck, chicken, lamb, and ox. Human interaction with animals is full of incomprehensible contradictions. Supermarket shelves bulge with the most extravagant products for our beloved pets. In the next aisle other ruthlessly reared and bloodily cut up animals are displayed for human consumption.
To what extend does the consumption of diseased or unhealthy animals cause diseases in humans?

What is the connection between obese livestock and obesity in human adults and children?

Decisions
People get sick and have to make decisions about their health: should I have by-pass surgery or angioplasty, chemotherapy or radiation?
Would it not make more sense to consciously make informed choices that will never expose us to the above sad options in the first place? A choice is made, every time we decide what to put into our mouth.

Dangers From Meat
Three dangers from meat must be recognized; (1) animal parasites, such as the trichina sometimes found in pork, (2) poisons developed in the meat by bacteria when it is kept too long or without sufficient refrigeration, this danger being recognized as ptomaine poisoning, (3) bacteria, sometimes present in meat, which are directly injurious to man and which are now held to be the cause of most of the sickness commonly attributed to ptomaine poisoning.

Cannibals and Mad Cows
Only in 1982 did scientists finally find prions and could explain kuru.

Prions are infectious proteins that provoke diseases 100 % fatal.

They may be infectious, inherited or spontaneous and the most known prion diseases are mad cow disease (or bovine spongiform encephalopathy) found in cattle and transmissible to humans and Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease, found in humans and very similar in symptoms to kuru, but which develops during at least 30 years.

Prions usually attack the brain provoking neurological degeneration (the diseases are called spongiform encephalopathies because the brains usually turn spongy, riddled with holes) and many suspect they are simplified viruses that passed off the nuclear acid phase (DNA or RNA).

The researchers were still puzzled by how the prions were transmitted till they discovered the gruesome secret that the tribe was hiding away from the authorities: mortuary cannibalism.

Deaths associated with choking
The most common specified food objects that victims choked on were meat products, and 45% occurred at home, followed by 26% at supervised facilities, and 14% at restaurants.http://www.labmeeting.com/paper/27137459/dolkas-2007-deaths-associated-with-choking-in-san-diego-county

B12
B12 isn't made by animals, it's made by bacteria. It's found where things are unclean. (And meat is dirty.) This easily explains why historically it's been easy to get B12, because until recently we didn't live in a sanitized environment. Pull a carrot out of the ground and don't wash it properly, and there's almost certainly some B12 there. Vegans should take a B12 supplement, not because veganism is unnatural, but because the modern diet is too clean to contain reliable natural sources of dirty B12.
The idea of "Man the Hunter" is the generally accepted paradigm of human evolution, says Sussman, "It developed from a basic Judeo-Christian ideology of man being inherently evil, aggressive and a natural killer. In fact, when you really examine the fossil and living non-human primate evidence, that is just not the case."
Sussman's research is based on studying the fossil evidence dating back nearly seven million years. "Most theories on Man the Hunter fail to incorporate this key fossil evidence," Sussman says. "We wanted evidence, not just theory. We thoroughly examined literature available on the skulls, bones, footprints and on environmental evidence, both of our hominid ancestors and the predators that coexisted with them." ...
But what Sussman and Hart discovered is that Australopithecus afarensis was not dentally pre-adapted to eat meat. "It didn't have the sharp shearing blades necessary to retain and cut such foods," Sussman says. "These early humans simply couldn't eat meat. If they couldn't eat meat, why would they hunt?"

Canines Redundant
This article on primate eating habits from Harvard has a bar graph of all the things that chimps and monkeys eat (Fig. 3), and meat isn't even in the chart. What they do eat is fruit, seeds, leaves, flowers, and pith. There is a category called "Miscellaneous", which for most species amounts to less than 5% of their diet, and for chimps and redtail monkeys less than 1%.
There is no question that humans are capable of digesting meat. But just because we can digest animals does not mean we're supposed to, or that it will be good for us. We can digest cardboard. But that doesn't mean we should.
If the evidence shows that our anatomy favors the digestion of plant foods, and we're healthier when we eat less animal foods, what do we make of the fact that we're capable of eating animals? It's simple: We have the ability to eat a wide variety of foods as a survival mechanism. The fact that we can eat just about anything, including meat, is very handy, from a biological point of view. But the fact that we're able to doesn't mean that we're optimized for it. The evidence for this is that our biology is similar to that of other herbivores, and the more animal foods we incorporate into our diets, the more our health suffers. In fact, it is rather specious to claim that humans are natural meat-eaters considering how poorly we fare when we do so.

Intestinal Toxemia
Intestinal toxemia is poisoning (infection) by decomposition products absorbed from the digestive tract. The toxins are exogenous--of outside origin.
Toxins resulting from protein decomposition (putrefaction) are more virulent than those resulting from carbohydrate decomposition (fermentation). As a rule, decomposition of animal proteins (meat and eggs) produce more virulent toxins than plant proteins.http://chestofbooks.com/health/natural-cure/The-Hygienic-System-Orthopathy/Intestinal-Toxemia.html

Removing Worms From the Brain
Although the blood-brain barrier protects the brain most of the time, occasionally a parasite will "worm" its way in, a condition known as neurocysticercosis. Most commonly this parasitic brain worm is the pork tapeworm, but blood flukes (roundworms) are also known to invade the brain. Either of these organisms can cause damage and even death. Often appearing as tumors on brain scans, these worms may not be recognized until the neurosurgeon is in the process of brain surgery to remove them.

MILK
This significant research clearly illustrates that the dietary recommendations by leading government and industry groups is doing nothing to prevent the growing incidence of osteoporosis. Indeed, this ‘taken for granted’ approach to preventing osteoporosis is actually contributing to the accelerating incidence of this debilitating disease. The promotion of milk (with government approval) as a good source of calcium and an important factor in maintaining strong bones is a highly deceptive marketing tactic, not based on science, which only serves to enrich the coffers of the dairy industry at the expense of the health of millions.
Dairy products offer a false sense of security to those concerned about osteoporosis. In countries where dairy products are not generally consumed, there is actually less osteoporosis than in the United States and Canada. Studies have shown little effect of dairy products on osteoporosis 1. The Harvard Nurses Study followed 78,000 women for a 12-year period and found that milk did not protect against bone fractures. Indeed, those who drank three glasses of milk per day had more fractures than those who rarely drank milk 2. Another study comparing bone loss in the lumbar spine in perimenopausal women showed that the control group who supplemented the diet with whey protein (a milk protein), significant bone loss occurred. The researchers at Iowa State University concluded that regular consumption of milk proteins such as whey could increase the lifetime risk of osteoporosis 3.
Another common fallacy promoted by the pharmaceutical industry, and given lip service by the health food industry, is the promotion of calcium carbonate and other inorganic forms of calcium as a preventative for osteoporosis. There is absolutely no scientific evidence that taking calcium carbonate (Tums, and other OTC antacids as well as oyster shell, dolomite, coral calcium or calcium hydroxyapatite or combinations containing them, have any bearing on the incidence of osteoporosis. Again, if these popular supplements (used by millions) had any effect on osteoporosis, then a decline in osteoporosis should be evident rather than a 7-fold increase over the last 10 years.

Difficult to digest
Cow’s milk curds are dense and difficult to digest. Low-fat and skimmed milk’s protein content is even higher, and has been shown to produce a higher calcium loss through the urinary tract.
After age 3 (when we are weaned) we do not secrete the enzyme rennin that breaks down milk protein, nor the enzyme lactase to digest lactose (milk sugar) and transform it to sugars that our body can use (glucose and galactose). Mature animals' and humans' bodies are not geared to drink milk.

Processed milk
Calves fed only processed milk, died.

[/quote]Creates allergies
Cow’s milk allergies create problems in the respiratory and/or digestive tracts with symptoms like post-nasal drip, sinusitis, excess secretion of mucous, catarrh, asthma, eczema, hayfever, vomiting, bronchitis, urticaria, sleeplessness, headaches, pimples, oedema (water retention), gas, constipation, diarrhoea, spastic colon, abdominal pain, and persistent colic. The allergies are caused by casein and beta lactoglobulin.
When (cow’s) diary products are removed from the diet, the problems often clear up completely.

Hormones and antibiotics
Cows get injected and/or fed synthetic hormones to increase milk production.To prevent and treat mastitis, cows are fed antibiotics.Guess where this all lands up…in our bodies. It has been linked to increased incidence of cancer, especially breast cancer.
http://www.coach-coaching-stars.com/osteoporosis.html

So, do we need to drink milk to get our calcium? In the pasteurization process, the structure of the milk and nutrients are changed and the calcium becomes indigestible - our bodies cannot assimilate it. Many people in their older years feel they need to drink milk to keep their bones strong. In all actuality, pasteurized milk leeches calcium from the bones. So not only does it not prevent osteoporosis, it actually can cause it! Studies show that the countries with higher consumptions of milk and milk products also have a higher rate of broken bones and osteoporosis. Milk is not our best source of calcium.

Soy - The Gender Bender
Phytates, found in all seeds and grains, are particularly high in soybeans. Phytates, cannot be destroyed by heating or soaking and prevent the uptake of essential minerals in the digestive tract, especially zinc, but also magnesium, iron and calcium and is most likely the reason why strict vegetarians often suffer mineral deficiencies.
Soy is high in very potent ‘antinutrients’ which cannot be entirely eliminated during processing and cause stunted growth by blocking the function of the enzyme trypsin. As trypsin is involved in the breakdown of protein it becomes obvious that replacing protein meat meals with soy is self defeating. Trypsin is added to commercial baby food for that purpose; to break down protein molecules too large for an infant to digest.rians often suffer mineral deficiencies.
Soy contains high levels of phytoestrogens especially genistein and diadzen. These are toxic endocrine disrupting isoflavone phytoestrogens and consumption may result in thyroid dysfunction leading to lethargy, fatigue with unexplained weight gain or weight loss and associated problems. Some women who consume large quantities of soy based products have noticed hair thinning or hair loss which is distressing, but the symptoms disappear and hair growth returns to normal when soy is excluded from their diet.
Infants
The estrogen factor means that babies fed on soy formula will take in the equivalent of five birth control pills daily. In 1992 the Swiss health service estimated that 100 grams of soy protein provided the estrogenic equivalent of one birth control pill. Infants and small children fed on soy protein display early maturation and precocious behaviour with a documented case of one two year old girl developing pubic hair and breasts. Infant soy based formula has been banned in the UK unless with the recommendation of a medic.
Soy has been widely embraced by food manufacturers as a cheap alternative to traditional food for reducing costs and increasing profit margins. Meat content of many foods can be reduced and replaced with textured vegetable protein and while wheat is rising in price, flour can easily be mixed with soy isolate powder.

COMMON TABLE SALT
Common table salt is poison that has nothing in common with natural salt. "Chemically cleaned" table salt is sodium chloride, an unnatural chemical form of salt that your body recognizes as something completely foreign. Dried at over 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, the excessive heat alters the natural chemical structure of the salt.
Add to this the toxic additives used in table salt. Iodine and fluoride we have been convinced into believing are necessary to maintain health. Calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, and aluminum hydroxide are often added to improve the ability of table salt to pour. Aluminum in table salt is a light alloy that deposits into your brain, believed to be a potential cause of Alzheimer's disease.
Ingesting excessive amounts of sodium chloride in table salt can contribute to problems like cellulite build up, rheumatism, arthritis and gout, kidney and gall bladder stones.

FASTING
"One quarter of what you eat keeps you alive;
the other three-quarters keeps your doctor alive."
http://www.doctoryourself.com/juicefast.html

Juice Fasting
Liquid is the only substance that will pass through the lining of your stomach. When you juice, you are sending all those vitamins and nutrients directly into your bloodstream, and in turn they are flushing out the toxins that are laying in wait to sabotage your good health and forces them into your bloodstream to be removed through excrement, your lungs, and your skin.

NEOTAME
Just when we thought that buying “Organic” was safe, we run headlong into the deliberate poisoning of our organic food supply by the FDA in collusion with none other than the folks who brought us Aspartame. NutraSweet, a former Monsanto asset, has developed a new and improved version of this neurotoxin called Neotame.
Neotame has similar structure to aspartame — except that, from it’s structure, appears to be even more toxic than aspartame. This potential increase in toxicity will make up for the fact that less will be used in diet drinks. Like aspartame, some of the concerns include gradual neurotoxic and immunotoxic damage from the combination of the formaldehyde metabolite (which is toxic at extremely low doses) and the excitotoxic amino acid

Neotame does not have to be included in ANY list of ingredients! So, if you buy processed food, whether USDA Certified Organic or not, that food most likely will contain Neotame because it is cost-effective, and since no one knows it is there, there is no public backlash similar to what is happening with Aspartame. A win/win situation!

http://www.living-foods.com/articles/largebeans.html

raw foodists eat mostly organic food, which is 80% to 300% more nutritionally dense - loaded with available electrons/energy. As your body learns to absorb this additional nutrition and energy you'll be less hungry, getting more energy from what you do eat, and eat less. This ultimately can reduce your food costs, as well as your health care costs, far below what is was when you were eating empty calories filled with the acidic toxins.

[Namaste]

Thanks pickle. Interesting.

Myself and my partner are on the path of moving to a raw diet. It takes time, education and patience. Not there yet :¬)

[BrownEye]

I am moving to where the food is. This country is making it hard enough to eat right. It is only going to get harder for me. I just put up a vision board in my kitchen to help the process move faster.

This post is as far as I got a while ago. At some point I will add more to it.

[mikesc]

I'm of the opinion that perhaps you worry just a little too much. There may be some real health benefits from not seeing life as full of things that can hurt you. Even if there isn't, that perception is probably still affecting the quality of your experience of life far more than the foods that you eat.

[zenmaster]

Food is information.

[BrownEye]

Food is information.

Well I guess technically food would be considered experience. I did a post about experience accumulating in order to form your self. I will post it tonight, see what kind of thoughts it garners.

As for the issue of fear, I have no fear for my self, I do however have 4 others under my care. I will do my best for them, rather than my self. They are what is important to me.

I should add, my Soul seems to think that food is high priority for my family. I have no idea why. I brought up the question after thinking that I put way too much importance in pure food. At that point I decided to find out more of what my Soul wants, that happened to be practically paradise for me, where the food is.

[Joseph326]

I can relate to your feelings about food. For me as well, this is far from being fearful. I realize that I am an infinite being and have dissolved any fear of death or illness. I do, however, have a very strong feeling from the core of my being that the choices I make regarding food are of utmost importance right now.

I have gone from someone who would be hard pressed to figure out how to cook a grilled cheese sandwich to preparing almost all of my meals from scratch. I enjoy every step from working in the garden or at the farm down the road, to making homemade yogurt. What I eat has to intuitively 'feel' right both before and after eating it, and I adjust my diet accordingly. Normally these questions have to be answered: 1) where did the food come from? Was it harvested in harmony with nature and with the plant or animal involved in making it? (this automatically weeds out the stuff with pesticides, hormones, gmo, etc.) 2) Is this something my body needs and can make efficient use of right now? 3) How do I feel, physically and energetically, before and after eating it?

Would there be a point in eating the most nutritious, expensive, certified organic superfood if I did not need to eat it at that time? If I did not need to, but did anyway, that would be a disservice to someone who does need it, and also in my mind disrespectful to the animal or plant that just died. This is why I feel it is so important to have open communication with your body, mind, and spirit at any given time. Body can and will tell you what it needs, if you listen. Mind can interpret these needs and help the body find the appropriate foodstuff to satisfy them. Spirit provides abundance of what you need, and links you to the food you are eating. Let it know how thankful and respectful you are, that it may continue to provide and so you may be at peace with the animals/plants.

I do personally believe that the most important choice is not what to eat, but how we go about doing so.

[fairyfarmgirl]

Good Greetings All:

Agreed Joe! Agreed! It is so important to be in communication with the Body. It is also equally important to understand we are creators. Thus, when faced with "factory" foods--- heal the foods using intention and prayer. The food will change to meet your needs.

When planting seeds do the same and mix a little of your DNA with the seed either a hair or saliva and intend that this plant grows and produces the perfect nutrition for your DNA. It is old old old ancient way of planting and being in co-creation with the Flora and Fauna Kingdoms as well as EA(rth)-Gaia.

I planted cukes using the method above last summer and they were the very most nutritious cukes that me and my family had ever eaten and very filling after just 1 cuke eaten. Delicious.

My body guided me to cease eating an high argine foods, gluten, lactose bearing products, and anything packaged in plastic. The rest I can handle with intention and creating morphogentic fields.

I also tend to buy everything that I am able packaged in paper, glass or not at all. I go to great lengths to avoid plastics.

Some people are recieving strict diet recommendations from thier higher selves and/or guides. The information given at times is for the reciever of that information. However, there is much to be learned by listening to the guidance of others. It depends upon what Galactic Group Gene Pool you have as to what your dietary needs are. If one can ascertain this then it becomes clear what is best to eat chemically wise and when combined with intentional eating the foods are truly from the God(dess).

fairyfarmgirl

[Meerie]

Fairy, can you elaborate on what Galactic Gene Pools have which dietary needs, according to your knowledge? I am particularly interested in the Venusians.
Much appreciated

This is what I am currently learning. It is my salt for what it is worth. I Bless you all!


Galactic Gene Pool:

Feline-Sirian-Human
Carian-Bird - Pleiadian-Human
Human--Feline-Ape
Reptilianan-Feline-Human

The base that your genetic structure originates from will create a proclivity toward: veganism, omnivore, carnivore (very rare on Earth) and or vegetarian

As we shift into greater expansion at times Animal Protein will be needed for some of the races. I see this as natural as your cat eating a mouse or an alligator gnoshing on a bird. It is is in the genes. As the genetic structure expands-- as a natural consequence of the expansion there will be less and less need to eat animal protein, then vegetable protein and evenually protien will be forgone except during healing or pregnancy.

Ayurvedic Classification of Body Type and Suggested foods and habits compliments the Wisdom that I recieved.

http://altmedicine.about.com/cs/2/a/Dosha.htm

http://altmedicine.about.com/cs/2/a/ayurveda.htm

Venusians generally are usually Kapha. The grains are very difficult for A Venusian or Kapha or Human-Feline body type to digest and assimilate. Usually grains especially Gluten shifts the body into acidity, obesity and all the health woes that go with both obesity and acidic body environments

In order for disease to thrive 3 things must be in place: belief system, acidic body, attitude. It is possible to have an acidic body and live a life with some minor and annoying health complaints with out a body breakdown... but when the two other factors such as belief system (I am old thus I wil be sick etc.) and Attitude (fear feelings) creates disease and greater body breakdown. When the body is breaking down it is physically discomforting as the body is really breaking down.

So to shift from this 3 changes must occur:

Diet must shift to an 1. alkaline diet--- high lysine bearing foods tend to be the most alkaline , 2. Belief System examination and Correction (inner work). 3. Cultivate an Attitude of Gratitude and shift into Self-Love. When all 3 components are in place the body rapidly returns to good health.

The body is designed to heal itself when fed the proper prana and food.

There is also much to be said about the body type being beautiful as it is structured. In modern Western and especially USA society, venusian women are seen as being too much. This is largely due to the media examples of rail thin and emaciated women who really look like little girls in woman bodies. It is what I call the princess syndrom where the society controllers wish to create a culture of rejection toward any type of body type that is associated with the Earth Mother. The Earth Mother is always depicted as a Venusian Body Type.

Thank you Fairy, this fits the picture well. I always feel that I increase weight when eating too many carbs. (Animal) protein has helped me to loose weight. The feline approach is very fitting. At times I feel like a cat myself. For a time after my awakening I could eat not too many vegetables, feeling that I would turn into a vegetable if I did LOL.
I am not really aware of where Venus fits in with your description? Is this Sirius or what greater galactic pool does she belong to?
Thank you and blessings,

Good Greetings Meerie and All:


The Venus is named for the Star constellation from which the original venus-- Inanna appeared during. It is a calender reference originally more so than an origination.

Here is how I see Venus who is really Inanna from the Felines and Repitian Lines that then combined with the Human-ape-Pleiandian Lines to create the iconic Venus body type. So yes,
Venus-Aprodite--HathorIshtar-Astarte-Inanna was half feline. She is at times depicted as a cow with feline features. This is due to the sacred cow that is central to animistic spirituality of antiquity and modern times as well.

Here is the best article on the mythology that I have read thus far. http://www.hranajanto.com/goddessgallery/inanna.html


**Eating a Kapha Diet does entail eating vegetables and fruits. It is heavy on fruits and veggies and a minimal animal protein and very low with the grains and carbs. Kapha body types (also know as Venusian body types) really benefit from raw pickled veggies-- truly pickled the way nature intended. nourishing traditons

fairyfarmgirl

[Joseph326]

As a sidenote, I would like to add that it seems the body will want a different diet at the beginning phases of 'conscious eating' than it will require normally after that. For example, I was guided towards fasting, raw fruits and veggies to the point of rejecting all processed food, grains and animal products. After a few months I am okay with raw or near raw animal products as close to nature as possible (raw eggs, raw milk, yogurt and meat from deer that I thankfully and humanely harvested). Still need a high percentage of raw plant material in proportion to animal though. It just seems that my body guided me through a period of purification from my years of poor diet, and now I can properly assimilate nutrition again. If I eat something that is out of alignment, I feel the effects immediately as lethargy, headache, nausea as I feel the body deal with the toxins and low vibrations.

I would suggest sprouting grains before consuming if they give you problems like they do for me. Then the energy and nurtrition is activated and available for your use. I have found organically grown, sprouted quinoa (complete protein, for vegetarians), flaxseed, chia, and buckwheat to be best for me. Sprouted sunflower and pumpkin seeds are good in small quantities too.

[BrownEye]

Look at this link and what experience might be, then think of how the "food" experience also builds the YOU. http://bring4th.org/forums/showthread.php?tid=2153

Something I will add is that our bodies will not function properly without being at full mineral capacity. The body can create vitamins, but it cannot create a mineral. The most highly assimilable minerals come from plant sources. Most solid based mineral supplements are too big to absorb at a cellular level, and instead store up in muscle tissue. Which then leads to toxicity. Congress is aware that almost all citizens are mineral deficient. These deficiencies will cause mental issues like schizophrenia, which might not be bad for some, for others it will seem like you have special abilities

I do, however, have a very strong feeling from the core of my being that the choices I make regarding food are of utmost importance right now.

Yes, I don't know why food comes up as top priority for my family, but it does.
One thing I have heard a lot, is that to replenish the light in our bodies, we need to consume light, best done with plants. Plants are alive until they wilt, one of the few live things other than seeds that you can bring home.

This is very interesting to me. I am now able to recognize those with reptilian dna with eye contact. I have been wondering about the differing sources of dna, and just what exactly I am.

heal the foods using intention and prayer. The food will change to meet your needs.

I found that blessing can cause my microwaved food to become healthy, (stuck with microwaves at work). It seems that only the personally prepared food is repairable for me. The dry processed goods I cannot change.

I will be experimenting with orgone generators once I get moved. It seems to have the same results as giving the plants Ormus.

I am finding that as I age, I need more red meat, not less. On the other hand, I used to be able to eat dairy products and wheat products in any amount without problem; now, they give me heartburn. Pizza, one of my lifelong favorite foods, makes me miserable, and I've had to give it up. I'm blood type "O", and produce a lot of stomach acid.

I raise a big garden (starting this spring, it will be two big gardens), and eat a lot of vegetables and fruits; raw when possible. Within the next couple of years, I expect my diet to consist of mostly vegetables, fruits, meat, and fish.

I don't see myself ever becoming vegetarian, because after 3 days without red meat, I become ravenously, insanely hungry, no matter how much of other foods I eat. At that point, the only help for me is a piece of rare beef (or other red meat) the size of a dictionary.

[Monica]

produce a lot of stomach acid.

Do you have acid reflux ('heartburn')?

Cutting-edge doctors now assert that, contrary to popular belief, heartburn is actually a sign of too little stomach acid, not too much. When the body's organs and tissues are too acidic (from too much acidifying foods like meat, sodas, sugar, etc.), then the stomach becomes too alkaline, and fails to digest foods properly, resulting in stomach acids and incompletely-digested foods to be burped back up.

Until recently, the remedy was thought to be antacids, but now these doctors say that this only makes the problem worse in the long run. The solution is actually to alkalize the body, with more raw fruits and vegetables, alkaline water, and less meat (and soda should be eliminated completely).

Many people following this regimen notice complete alleviation of sour stomach/heartburn immediately, often within a couple of days. This happened to me.

after 3 days without red meat, I become ravenously, insanely hungry, no matter how much of other foods I eat. At that point, the only help for me is a piece of rare beef (or other red meat) the size of a dictionary.

You are not alone! Many people have experienced this.

And, many people have found that when they added foods rich in essential fatty acids (raw nuts, seeds, avocadoes, etc.) that hunger and craving for meat vanishes.

This also happens when you have parasites. You tend to eat more than you need, and certain parasites thrive on meat/dairy.

I still carry parasites that I picked up from meat over ten years ago
Once I am not tied to my job I will do a total parasite cleanse and see if I can get rid of them.

Another idea I have had some success with is sun-gazing. You can get energy directly from the sunlight without consuming another creature for it. This is a process that must be started very gradually, but when is very safe when it is. It involves absorbing sunlight through the eyes and the pineal gland in the hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset. The atmosphere blocks UV rays during this time due to the angle of the sun, allowing one to look directly at the sun. My eyesight and night-vision has actually improved and I dont need to consume as much food when I am doing this often. Has been a bit hard in the winter though so I have been eating more now. Also helps your brain regulate sleep cycles, and get a more restful sleep.


Eddie, have you tried raw milk? Store-bought processed milk is "dead" and the enzymes in it have been destroyed, in contrast to fresh raw milk which already contains the enzymes the body needs to digest it (example: lactase which breaks down lactose so that it can be digested, possibly circumventing "lactose intolerence"). Often, the cows on small local raw milk farms are treated MUCH better than in the mass farming practices of large dairy corporations. Depending on the farm, they are fed a more nutritious diet of grass and hay instead of gmo corn feed or protein from their dead brethren.

I will be doing this after I move. Everyone is into growing food, yoga, and hiking where I am going. All off grid.

Where I live now the sky is always white, I almost forget what blue skies look like.

Good Greetings:

We are also lactose intolerant and Gluten sensisitive. I think that this is a sign that the foods have been messed with. We tried Raw Milk and found that the children liked it but still lactose intolerance for the adults. For my husband especially it was unpleasant.

Further, Raw Milk is super expensive. For just 1/2 gallon it is nearly 10.00! Outrageous for cows that eat grass and a farm that is not even 20 miles away! I long for the days when just walked down to the farm bought a gallon of just milked moo and paid your dollar... and brought your own container.

We can still eat cheese limitedly. I now use it like a spice--- to flavor a dish rather than make it the main course.

We have found Kombucha tea to be very helpful in replenishing beneficial fauna and flora in the gut and body. As well as being chock full of minerals and vitamin B's! Everyone loves it but hubby is the only one that we buy it for as he is the one recovering his health... everyone else is very healthy.

I try to avoid eating processed food. I have found it takes too much energy to repair. I am exhausted before I can take a bite! I do however have a weakness for french fries. French Fries are the only "normal" food at McDonald's and in the grocery store. This is a junk food item.

Pickle: Good Travels to your new home and dwelling place! How utterly exciting for you. Are you aware of Permaculture?

Blue Skies to all!

Wow, $10? I feel blessed that its $3.50/gallon here!

Pickle, is that an eco-village you are moving to or just a really awesome place? I wish you luck with the move

Gosh, that is expensive! A few years ago, I was very lucky to find someone who offered raw goat's milk for $5/gallon. It was wonderful!

Unfortunately, she ended up selling the goats and it's no longer available.

It would be called an Intentional Community. There are many, all with slightly differing core values.

@fairyfarmgirl, I know a little about it. I am heading towards the rainforest. Year round temps between 70 and high 90s. Where I am now I am completely reliant on electricity for life. I decided that relying on others to keep me alive was not very wise. I make good money, but it becomes worthless without electricity. I rode out the ice storm a few years back. Only thing that saved me was being able to drive 50 miles away for food and kerosene fuel.

When planting seeds do the same and mix a little of your DNA with the seed either a hair or saliva and intend that this plant grows and produces the perfect nutrition for your DNA. It is old old old ancient way of planting and being in co-creation with the Flora and Fauna Kingdoms as well as EA(rth)-Gaia.

That's wild - I had never heard of this until very recently. Did you just mention this in the last week or so, Fairy, or did I read it somewhere else? I just ordered some books on gardening with the devas, and maybe that is where I saw it. Or maybe from you...?

Either way, what a confirmation to hear it twice within a few days! You just gave me an idea to have all members of my household have a ceremony in which we bless - and reverently spit on! - our seeds before planting.

I love it! Thanks for sharing this.

Joseph, you have just inspired me to start Sungazing again! I had started for just a bit, but didn't stick with it, because I was never up early enough, and was always busy at the end of the day. But now I feel inspired to make it a higher priority!

I am going to use this post to launch a new thread on this topic. Stay tuned...

OK, here 'tis:

Olio > SUNgazing: Communion with the Sub-Logos - Spiritual and Health Implications

[fairyfarmgirl]

Monica and All:
Anastasia recommends to spit on your seeds before planting.

Before, even reading Anastasia. I knew about this due to communing with the Devas and Fairies. Also, in shamanism one always leaves a DNA offering when harvesting a plant or planting a plant. The reason for this is very vital: The Flora and Fauna of the Earth wish us great health. They are here to assist us in our nourishment and to guide, nurture and shelter us during our life here.

Eden is something that we create not find. The Eden exists within us and comes through us as we create it into being.

Ah, that must be where I read it! A friend recently sent me some info on Anastasia.

Agreed!

produce a lot of stomach acid.

I eat lots of raw nuts, seeds, and avocados already; they do not affect my desire for meat.

By the way, I don't drink soda at all. Can't stand the stuff.

Hmmm....by 'lots' do you mean enough for a main course?

Sometimes a cleanse (fruit or green juice fast) for a week or so, totally resets the taste buds as well as acclimates the body to lighter foods.

Whenever I've done a cleanse, I felt very light afterwards, and cravings were gone.

These are just ideas...

By the way, I don't drink soda at all. Can't stand the stuff.

Well you're ahead of the game there! Soda has to be the nastiest, most harmful poison people put in their bodies, next to cigarette smoke. I consider them in the same category.

[Eddie]

Eddie, have you tried raw milk?

I cannot stand milk...any kind of milk, in any condition, from any animal. My mother tells me that I wouldn't even drink it when I was a baby. I had to take calcium pills as a child, because I wouldn't drink milk.

The aroma of milk nauseates me....always has.

My natural inclination is to a hunter-gatherer type of diet. I actively forage outdoors for all kinds of wild edible plants; I have done this since I was a small child. I can find stuff to eat almost anywhere; many people would be surprised to learn what is growing in their yard, that is edible.

I was also an extremely avid hunter and fisherman for most of my life. I don't do much of that anymore, but I still eat meat and fish.

Hmmm....by 'lots' do you mean enough for a main course?

Why, yes, in some cases. I, until recently, had a drawer in my desk at work where I kept:
raw pumpkin seeds
raw cashews
raw almonds
assorted unsulphured dried fruits (no avocados, though )

I eat more of that sort of stuff in a week, than the average American eats in a year. And a green smoothie for breakfast most days.

Actually, come to think of it, I eat almost no processed food except for buns for hamburgers or barbecue when I eat out.

Added to OP.

raw foodists eat mostly organic food, which is 80% to 300% more nutritionally dense - loaded with available electrons/energy. As your body learns to absorb this additional nutrition and energy you'll be less hungry, getting more energy from what you do eat, and eat less. This ultimately can reduce your food costs, as well as your health care costs, far below what is was when you were eating empty calories filled with the acidic toxins.
