starting raw food diet + detoxication + use of drugs
Posted by: musician ()
Date: December 06, 2013 04:02PM

Hello everyone,

im not a native english speaker, so forgive me for any mistakes smiling smiley
im 27 years old, im a musician from germany but currently located for a longer time in brazil.
the last 8 years were full of partying, of course accompanied by the highs by using drugs, but also a strong process of self reflection.

Part of that process were drugs, with all their positive and negative effects, but mostly i met people that i had long discussions with.
so there was a lot of input about health, a vegan or vegetarian life, expansion of consciousness etc...

why am i writing here?
well, as its known brasil offers a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.
a huge, fresh and tasty papya is affordable for less then 1$.
because i was reading about alkaline nutrition i was interested in the effects of the papaya. well... looks like i found a very interesting fruit here.
especially the kernels.

i found a lot of videos, for example one guy in germany who was telling about his cure from an "uncurable" disease called "morbus bechterew" with a raw food diet.
this got my attention and after quit a lot of reading i want to slowly change my diet.

BUT... the scene seems to be split. dogmatic meanings. meat or vegan etc...
all of that caused a lot of questions for me and probably for all of you as well.
but maybe you can answer some of them for me:

1. Do you know more or less popular musicians, preferrably on a high technical level, that are not only vegans but for the most part on a raw food diet?

2. do you think i could keep the detoxication-process on a low and more or less comfortable level, by slowly increasing the part of raw food nutrition?
i dont want to loose a lot of weight since i am 60kg, on 1,85m, nor am i really interested in having strong symptoms.

3. how much would you say, your mental and physical power has increased?

4. What about drugs? i mean everything. tobacco, alcohol, speed, lsd, shrooms, weed...
does the body have trouble with the use, or does he even recover faster?
mushrooms and weed theoretically are raw food as well right?

all the best,
musician

If you want to eat weed, you can juice the plant. Live food. It has these things in it which people say cure you, outside of the thc. These are called cannabinoids. And raw juice or raw plants has a ton. We all have those receptors in our brain. Google. Thats medicine for you.

i know about the curing effects of cannabinoids, also in combination with THC.
what i was asking, regarding the drugs, is if you get high on a drug:
do you get "higher"? because the effect of every drug i know is regarded as a intoxication.(maybe except for some of the natural drugs)
or do you get more and more resistant against those toxics?

or do you even have a life threatening reaction?

that probably depends on the type of drug.
alcohol and tobacco are acidifying as far as i know...
i guess having a greater sensitivity is somewhat normal once you reached a certain state of detoxication and your tolerance-level goes down.

i was just worrying about some kind of "allergic reaction" instead of the desired effect, you want to have from the drug.

i totally agree with you on pot. it has it pros and cons. and i also dont know anybody with a high energy level who smokes too much.
but it feels great and healthy if you use it for the right occasions. (for me)

aah..
using the "drug" raw is not a problem. you need fat or alcohol to extract the thc.
the rest can be done by the normal digestion as far i know.

but the thing about drugs wasnt my main concern actually smiling smiley
im very interested in the effects it has on concentration, stage fever, mental power and so on.

right now im eating a lot of fruits. and for lunch or in the afternoon a salad. and then something cooked. i will see, probably right now i dont need to be careful, but when reaching somewhat like 70-80% raw probably i will have to be more selective and aware.

Raw marijuana is amazing, you will give up your nettles overnight.
Here is a story or a woman juicing it raw.

[www.collective-evolution.com]


Did you guys know all humans are built with cannabinoid receptors in our brain?

Just try it out and then decide. Its harmless. Actually good for you. Before that, its just , " I dont really know" Try it out. Why the @#$%& not. Its green juice. Does not get you stoned. Smells amazing. Its definitely GREEN,

if you want to be an overnight millionaire and have lines around the block, have a marijuana green juice bar

Banana who,yes. Right on.
I think Raw is Law. You can research or google all this stuff about raw marijuana juice and peoples experience. Join me, I find it so fascinating.

There is something about that plant. Besides the THC. Thats the only point I was trying to make. SOmething. I dont know what, but something. People pay attention. It like the forbidden green. And it a friend to humans I think. It sure is a pretty plant.

hey musician



each food is a set of frequencies

u consume and your former set of frequencies is changed which u will

then combine with your music

to see what new different set of frequencies u can create

play around with it

its an instrument like anything else

u just have to play it for yourself to see what chords it will yield

Yes it's a plant. My point is that I wonder if its purpose serves us for a season and then we must cross the river ourselves. Opium and its derivatives serve a purpose for those in pain but eventually we have to transcend it (at least in my experience). I find it slightly befuddling that people say "I've been smoking pot every day for 40 years and it hasn't hurt me a bit." I wonder what is up with that level of involvement but it's not my garden to tend and my path to tread.

I've read that weed has the ability to expand your consciousness and make you more spiritually awake, but after a certain point, it actually hinders your progress. For example, on a scale of 1-10 based on spiritual awakening, weed can take you from say 1 to 3 or 4, but after that, progress stops and detrimental effects set in. Habitual marijuana use is bad for the mind and body.
