 Glad you're starting to feel better Steve
I'm glad Steve's starting to feel better.
One of the great advantages of eating a simple 100% raw food diet is that you're body immediately tells you when it doesn't like something. You often get instant reactions to foods which are less than ideal. And so it's simple to know what to eat and what not to eat.
And it's also very easy to get sick if you're doing such a diet. Because if you stray too far, your body will have so much vitality that it will want to remove the invading toxins immediately.
That usually results in a cold. What people don't realize is that in a certain way getting a cold or a healing crisis is a good thing. It shows at least that your body has the vitality and energy needed to clean itself out.
Some of the unhealthiest people are the ones who don't get colds for years and yet continue to eat an unhealthy Standard American Diet. They think they're healthy because they don't get colds.
But later on in life they get shocked when they're diagnosed with cancer or some other serious disease. They say, I've been perfectly healthy, I never get colds, why did this happen to me?
The fact is they were so unhealthy they didn't have the vitality to express a cold. Victoria Boutenko heard many such stories when she worked for one of those Anne Wigmore style healing places in Michigan (at least I think that's where it was).
I've heard this from other people as well. And remember a dead body can't have a cold. You have to be alive and have lots of vitality and strength to have cold symptoms.
That's why children get so many colds. They have a higher level of vitality than most adults. But nothing compared to a clean raw foodist.
So that's the benefit of a 30 day trial. After 30 days, you're mind might want cooked food, but your body will crave raw food. This then makes it easier to stay raw because your body wants it.
Cheers, Roger
