211. Re: over eating
Gems, in my personal experience, I can say, DEFINITELY DON'T WORRY!
When I first when raw, I ate and ate and ate and ate and ate and ate and ate (I earned myself quite the reputation).
I clearly remember in my mind (it took almost a year of raw), the first time I felt what a "true sense of being full" felt like.
I've been raw for more than four years now, and I don't even thin

Diatomaceous earth is a wonderful way to pull radionuclides from the body, internally, I try to remember to have a big swig of bentonite from time to time...
But if you are more interested in silica, you can always forage for wild horsetails (best served steamed lightly). They are apparently best to pick when young and resembling asparagus... but that's one of the highest wild sources of silic

My family gets cases of Manitoba Harvest delivered to the house... I have to figure out the exact measurements, but it's something like $10/big container x 10 containers or whatever, and basically works out to *wholesale* price.

In the beginning, it's discipline. I'd imagine, over time (especially the course of years), you just think less and less about things that don't make you feel awesome?
Ironically--raw food WAS the tipping point for me, where I realized I could only do all good for my body, and the whole concept of punishment/starvation/guilt/etc. disappeared.

Uh, sorry Rab. I had no idea about any of that until I googled it, honestly. I'll just stick my foot in my mouth. No harm meant!
Onward and upward, indeed! I also think once you get a taste of what it's like to have a clear mind and experience really being healthy and mobile in your body... well, who would want to give that up?

I love famous people who come out of the closet with things like this and draw attention to the positive aspects of it.
Instead of, "OH, NO, you might smash your baby co-sleeping." Or, "Why breastfeed? We have some genetically modified garbage in a packet instead!"
Nevermind the incidence of permanent damage/death from vaccinations...

223. Re: The war on water
Well, yesterday morning my boyfriend caught them in the act, in the process of graveling and cementing boulders into everything. We went back just now to assess the damage...
There were three springs...
...and we discovered all three, in 24 hours, were broken open again by other humans who went to collect my water. This does restore my faith in humanity.

Some people cross train tracks to get into the park, but there are TONS AND TONS of other entrances that DO NOT require crossing tracks. A fence would have sufficed. Hundreds of people cross tracks to get to the beaches and nobody has gone and poured cement all over the beaches.
The city also said it wasn't obstructing anyone's rights to clean water, because, according to HEALTH CANADA, tap wa

Sometimes, though, it's not always pleasant, when your mind is clear enough to plug into the earth, you plug it in, and the first thing you hear is the earth screaming in pain.
The truth is, reality is harsh. That's a huge reason why people tune out. It takes the ULTIMATE strength to keep an open heart in the face of all the horrors happening around us today. It does get overwhelming.

You might want to YouTube a guy named Dan Winters. He is SUPER FASCINATING. He's really into raw foods, DNA, tons of esoteric things, and talks about how the perfect death in a fractal, nature-based environment will allow the soul to leave the body in the most coherent state intact. Sacred death. Pretty cool.
Kind of out there, but totally worth the time. He's got lots of books, and degrees...

Sometimes I prefer to fast that way!
As long as you are sufficiently hydrated before you sleep, and hydrate yourself when you wake in the morning, you should be fine.
Fasting or not, I always sleep with a cup of water by my bed, and usually enjoy a few 4am sips.
And also, don't do anything crazy, like run a marathon. Take it easy and enjoy some nature time, or read an inspiring book.

Honestly, it's got to be way more environmentally-friendly than murdering giant cows?? If "vegan" means doing no harm to sentient creatures, eating insects has got to be closer to vegan than eating cows... especially when you consider the slash-and-burn of forests for crops and cattle, to all the blood spilled for petrol involved in the transportation, etc.

Blood thinners in excess can cause bruising... and when I read about bruising, it made me start to think about the herbs I was taking. It's the only other explanation I could find that made sense, besides no explanation, or lack of vitamin C and bioflavonoids.
