I am greatly interested in what people got to say about natural hygiene. But dying right after a fast or during a fast does not necessarily mean that they died because of the fast. Injuries caused by falling etc, is not a justified argument against fasting in my opinion. And the skilled hygienist will not apply fasting to every condition. People die in hospitals, people die at the dinner table, i

Hi!
I have read a little on the subject of b12 and since I have been a vegan for about seven months only I have no yet bought a b12 supplement. Thing is, I really hate supplements in any form.
And, I have read that b12 was pretty late discovered, and vegetarians as well as vegans have existed long before that and they lived in good health and died in old age. They never developed b12 defic

So eating raw cannabis will not produce any kind of psychadelic effect? And mushrooms, I thought you meant "magic" mushrooms with drug-like effects.
Herbs like parsley contain vitamins and minerals, and have no drug-like effect upon the body. What I was referring to was the psychadelic herbs and mushrooms and other drugs, substances that results in EFFECTS and effects are often, if n

The negative effects from marijuana include:
1) Impairment of short-term memory
2) Perverted and violent appetite (gluttony)
3) Dizziness
4) Impairment of psychomotor coordination
5) Paranoia
Of course these effects are most marked on people not yet accustomed to the drug, but a substance resulting in these effects when consumed, how possibly could it be beneficial?

I wont close my eyes to everything now but the thing is that I'm just madly in love with Natural Hygiene right now that perhaps I'm a bit blinded by it. But thank you and I appreciate your humility.

I just do not believe that food heals the body, we only have to supply the body its needs, the rest will be taken care of... by the body. If you are going to repair a broken bone, no herb, spice, onion or any other food will do that work, only your own body. You can only support your body with its needs during the process, rest, sunshine, sleep and rest, emotional poise and love, nourishment and

I read some asian medicine too. They are undoubtedly right in many things, but I really cannot understand why we should consume hot, spicy and actually irritating stuff like ginger and onions? Everything that results in pain when eating it, can it really be good? I'm not saying that taoism etc is all about herbs and spices, just saying that, because I have seen taoists and other similar schools a

I have a history of eating junk every other day myself. But I do not believe that there is any certain food that is particularly healthy for a specific body part. We cannot eat a certain seed to nourish our feet, and a particular fruit to nourish our hands and a special kind of nut to nourish our heart and lungs, we must feed the body as a whole, what is healthy for the brain and nervous system m

I became depressed before I started thinking about life. It was rather my depression that forced me to think about life differently. I have come across so much information, mainly because I have a genuine interest in books and that I would consider myself to be pretty open-minded. It is unbelievable how much truth you can find in the books written by the good old thinkers! They knew more than we

I believe gluttony is the "original" sin and the sin that leads to other sins. For example, a too rich diet of animal products and too much condiments leads to a perverted mind, I am absolutely sure of that. In the old literature I have read, many old religious physicians have made the correlation between sexual habits and eating habits. Many raw foodists experience a "decline"

Yes and I think even a short water fast on a few days is very satisfying to overcome cravings for old habits. One author's work I read, Dr. Hay, said that a 7-day water fast was very good to undertake to get rid of unnatural appetite and cravings, and to create new habits. It is a wonderful feeling to be hungry on wholesome foods.
Whatever you do, good luck and I hope you find and achieve inc

You are welcome! From what I have read, and got explained to me not just from Shelton but other various and modern fasting experts is that the body never go into the same kind of state that water fasting puts the body in, if juices and any form of nourishment is taken. The body never start cleansing as deep on fruit or vegetables juices, as it does during period of absolute physiological rest, so

Thank you for your advice I will check that up. Though I live in a very, very tiny apartment, it might work out anyway?

Because there is an economical side to my diet as well, I would of course prefer fresh fruits and fresh vegetables with some nuts over starch but I simply cannot afford it. And I believe that starch got some undeserved bad reputation, eaten without fat and in moderate amounts it is okay, better than animal products I think.

Sorry if I put this thread in the wrong section! I now saw I misplaced it.
Dr Fuhrman advocates a diet high in micronutrients, so a green salad is like a main dish with nuts. He adds fresh fruit and a little starch like beans to this diet.
Dr. Mcdougall advocates a diet based on starch, much potatoes, rice, pasta dishes etc. which works fine for me some days but I want to have a little mor

Hi!
First of all, the stone in my shoe is now a little lighter. I have nobody to talk with, I have nobody to support me in all this, I am a pretty lonely boy on 20 years of age, my friends are totally indifferent to the subject of health and vitality. My family is living in a large city eating junk food everyday, barely getting any exercise. I know of none, in real life, that is interested in
