hi group i`ve been outta touch for a few days. took my kids up to a friends cabin in utah to download from the city a bit. i have a question about toxic bodies. how do i find out how toxic i am or how long my body will take to detox? let me give you an idea of who i am/was. i was raised on a farm in wisconsin. we grew our own fruits and vegees and i ate a typical diet of cooked vegees and meat and chicken. i am not and have never been sick often with the exception of a cold or 2 during the year and i don`t take medications except a bone builder because i have osteopenia. i was an avid drug user as a teen (pot, acid, some cocaine here and there, pills when they were available....anything to party) and i smoked cigarettes from age 15 to 40. i`ve never done tons of fast food but i ate out alot. a long long long time ago i was married to an abusive alcoholic and was under quite alot of mental stress. that has been gone a long time and i think i`ve healed emotionally. i am very intuitive and rely alot on vibes and i consider myself a spiritual person always trying to live by christs standards so...is there a way to tell how toxic i am and how long detox will be and if there will be any detox? i slipped in utah and ate cooked food every night but besides that i`ve been raw for a month or so and experiencing no pain

Opinion:

-Just my own experiences....but for those who transition to 100% fresh, raw plant food....and a simpler (non-mixed) diet......and avoid all processed items and medications......and engage in light fasting.......then they can expect to eliminate the majority of internal deposits within 6 months. This CAN take longer (like in my case...where I ate like crap for the first 25 years of my life!). Ha! ha!

-Just my experiences.

Why do you concern yourself with toxicity? Go with the flow and flow with the go.

thanks david you are such an inspiration and i was hoping you`d reply how long did it take you?

Wow..only around 6 months..that would be worth it right there.

Love,

Yeah, Dewey I wonder about that stuff too. It would be great (or terrifying!) to be able to see our organs - mine would be crying for mercy.
From what I've read about the oldtimers - like Paul Bragg and Shelton et al, you can detox most of the junk in the first few months, but your body will continue to heal and detox for as long as you assist it. I think it was Bragg who had been raw for many years, then when he was out canoeing and camping on his own, he eliminated a huge amount of mercury from his bowels - he thinks it was from all the mercury-based medecine he was given as a child.
I know many of use have damaged organs and it probably takes quite a while to heal those. I believe Bryan and others who say fasting and sleeping are the best ways to heal.

wow, mercury? and after that many years? it`s amazing how long those toxins can stay in our bodies.

It was as if his body accumulated it all, then dumped it all at once, about 50 years after ingesting it.



They say there's no way to eliminate asbestos from our bodies, but I wonder if that's true. I can imagine the possibility of the fibres working their way out or being absorbed and eliminated, but it would be hard to get evidence for this. (I have asbestos in my body, so am particularly interested in this idea.)

why do you have asbestos in your body?

My experience/opinion:

-The body CAN eliminate or repair just about anything. But key to this is not TAKING IN more toxins. That would cease the state of detoxing....which must continue...in non-acute form....and be accellerated in peace and control. Thus dextox (the internal breaking up of deosits...and subsequent elimination) can only progress if no cooked foods, medications, complex food combinations, or chemicals are being ingested or placed on your body. This causes the body to divert blood and healing to the elimination of the constant new threats/toxins.

-Distilled/suncharged water.........light/strained juice fasting........joyful living of your dreams........light water fasting of 2-3 days at a stretch........enemas.....colon cleansing......light exercise.....sunbaths.......light abdominal massage.........these are the items that can speed up detox........and facilitate the breakup of internal deposits.

-For my part, I would say I got rid of 80% of my internal stuff in the first 6-12 months. Each year after that....I lost another 5-10%. It took me about 2 years to clean out just about everything. It's all good. With a lifetime of work/play ahead....what's the hurry? I can pace myself! Ha! ha!

-I hope my experiences are a little helpful.
