2131. Re: Energies in body
My goodness I think I started WW3!Sunshine79, I too have a tendancy to want 'proof'. I also have a strong tendancy to want or need some authority to provide proof, guidance, wisdom etc. I am realizing that there are definate limitations to scientific inquiry, there are so many biases, and interests to force a particular outcome.
The greatest breakthrough for me was the realization that natura

Bryan,
I think that is very sage advice. One can spend several lifetimes studying, researching and not really find out anything, or find out that you know a lot about conflicting ideas. I would say your right on about transitioning and testing, and not worrying too much about staying 100% all the time, especially at the start, as long as one is moving in the right direction.

Rawnoggin,
Great point, there are alot of competing ideas out there. It seems like everyone has some 'diet' book out. Either to loose weight, or achieve some ideal. Not to mention 'this fruit has the highest orac value'. Producers also confuse consumer with the terms natural or all natural. Some are so labeled, and contain corn syrup-one of the most processed substances ever! Some contain "

Fresh,
Thank you for your response. Its overal very good at removing some blocks for not moving forward. It is true that you can have a positive attitude without any guarentee for healing. I just read something about positive feelings and optimism in the healing process in NH. I think that healing can occur without it, just that it sounds like it can proceed better and fast with a positive attit

I have similiar concerns. Its difficult for me to suspend old dietary paradigms. Even though I have heard that selective update solves a lot of problems associated with x,y, or z nutrient. From what I understand it works the best with raw foods, but not so well for cooked for some reason. Old protein requirement estimates(actually amino acids) were based on cooked ideas, using damaged proteins. I

Bryan,
Its nice to know that something about NH could be found to disprove NH. Which means its testable. But honestly, the more I think about it the more I question if anything is really truely provable and testable. Whats not specifically stated is the posibility that one will not recover from a disease doing NH. But that is out of line with the positive attitude that is required for healing. B

Bryan,
Just a little joke first... Earth, wind, fire is a band
Some further explanation on the elements.
I get the general idea of your reference to the elements, but 'wind' is a diagnosis in TCM not one of the five phases. But your statement about the theory is more or less correct that its fundemental.
I have a question, what would disprove the NH theory of the disease process

My experience with religion was so bad that I cringe at the word jesus. I picture some overweight cretin who is racist, homophobic and supports the war effort where ever it occurs. Also who eats breaded meat fried in trans-american fats... at least that is what is what I associate jesus with. I know there are people in the minority who say that there is a different jesus.

I have a lionhead goldfish, I used to have two. But one died from unknown causes. We tried to feed it some frozen daphnae, and that sort of helped, but she still died. The other one looks healthier since the other one died, but now shes starting to behave like the one that died.

Bryan,
That really helps a lot. I was thinking of myself and wondering if or when I might need to do a long fast. Its helpful to know that it may not be called for at this time, or may never be required. I can't take off how ever long it might take to do that type of fasting, and I don't know how to properly start or end a fast. At the same time I feel like you said, maybe try some smaller chang

2144. Re: Energies in body
Interesting discussion, thank you for all your contributions. Prior to this discussion I always thought of TCM, Are-you-veda, chiropractors etc...as being 'natural'. Certainly they are compared to western medicine. But I had no idea how distinctly different NH is in thought and 'practice'. Anyone supplying advice on NH would have to be very, very clear about what to expect, that they aren't doing

Yes, I totally agree that its difficult to change certain ideas. ones which we have been taught for such a long time. I have a difficult time with the idea of getting worse before getting better.
As long as I have posted on this board and other raw food boards, the longest time I have gone 100% raw and vegan has been 3 weeks. What stopped that was some very disturbing symptoms. Seve

Gary,
I think its great that a raw foodist addressed the evolution issue in some manner. I happen to have a lot of trust in evolutionary theory, and saying it isn't true is a bit of a problem for me.
I think I understand why he wouldn't like it. He's an essene and a minister as far as I have heard. Maybe he views evolution as a threat to his authority or the authority of the essene religion.

Coco,
Thank you for your input. I think the part about honesty is so true. I think bryans post on "cures any an all disease" is a great one. Responsibility for ones health is what it is. I don't have anyone to blame for what I do. While its true someone can pressure, tease, dislike, envy or appreciate the choices I make, they are still choices I make. On the other end, its nice to appr

I appreciate your response, Bryans, and actually everyones. Its really great to start to understand the difference perspectives. Its really simple, but for some reason it was hard to get. I think its because most peoples modern sense of what is natural just isn't.

General statement and question to everyone,
I find NH interesting, but I am a bit confused about something pretty basic. I don't understand why people are skeptical of medicine in any form. But can't NH be viewed as a type of medicine?
The diagnosis for any condition and every condition seems to be toxic accumulations of various types, caused by or aggrevated by a lack of energy or an over

Bryan,
That is a point of confusion for me about TCM. I was really quite suprised that some schools of thought in TCM advocate no raw foods. I was quite shocked. I told a practioner that I totally bind up if raw foods are totally missing in my diet, and she quickly clarified that some people benefit from some raw food, people with powerful digestions. I don't quite understand it myself.

Sunshine79,
Thank you for the support! It feels good to hear things from another perspective. I have been 'fantatical' most of my life. Healthy eating (to the best of my knowledge at the time) since I was in my teen years. I made some bad choices based upon incomplete knowledge, but I think over all the effects must have had some benefit. People generally think I'm 20 years younger than I am.

Bryan,
I'm not sure if animals DO NOT medicate themselves. Many herbs used in TCM came into use by observing animals seeking out particular substances, when they are sick, injured, or have particular needs. They observed the animals change after consuming them.
Some herbs that tonify the kidney Yang were arrived this way. Some animals eat cordecep before and during mating season. Also horn

Usually the people are taking in energy sources from external sources somehow. Some claim to go for extended periods of time without food.

I must admit that perhaps I'm not helping. I cheat, and I sometimes actually like the taste of some things I know aren't good. It tastes good, and seems ok, until about 10-15 minutes after eating certain items. Some are not too bad, but some make me feel like I am dying. About 6 months ago I had a doughnut that was fried in cold oil, so it was especially laden with trans fats...that made me feel
