In your "Welcome" message, you mention the expression "natural hygiene". Does
it refer to a US association called "American Natural Hygiene Society"
(ANHS)? I know a bit about this association. IT looks like very much the UK
Veg*n Society. Both suggest a "vegaan" diet.

The main difference is that, in ANHS, emphasis is put on health, while
VegSoUK puts also great emphasis on animal rights. ANHS also insist more (as
well as I know) on raw foods). [...]52_22May199511:00:24-0400(EDT)[log in to unmask] 9505 26 87 19_Re: Natural HYgiene14_David R. [log in to unmask], 22 May 1995 20:39:46 -0400 (EDT)577_- [ Pierre writes]

your experience with raw food. I'm interested in hearing what you have
to say. What does a typical day of meals look like for you?
My biggest problem is that I allow junk into my body. Half of me enjoys
it and the other half makes me feel ill and groggy. I want to feel 100%
every day and think this may do it. I did have the experience of eating
fruit all day long and then miso soup at night which was great, but not

Sometimes, if I am going for long bicycle rides, I will blend some
sprouted grains with bananas to make a shake for breakfast.
After a 4 hour mountain bike ride, the best thing I can have in
the summer is watermellon. [...]47_23May199522:28:09-0400(EDT)[log in to unmask] 9505 239 55 9_Re: Meals14_David R. [log in to unmask], 24 May 1995 00:20:55 -0400 (EDT)665_- [NOTE: This is a fowarded post, not authored by sender@email address ]

I have fresh fruit for breakfast. Whatever I can buy that's
organically grown but not too expensive. Grapefruit or apples, sometimes
kiwi, sometimes mango, now peaches, maybe tangerines.

In summer watermelon, but organic watermelon costs too much, so I
do buy regular H2Omelon, regrettably. If I'm mixing a few fruits for
breakfast, I might add shredded coconut. I love grapes when I can get
them, and cherries and nectarines. I love ca

Absolutely!  I don't find that strange at all.

All the time, and in just that way. :)

Sounds like you've got a good attitude about it.  I asked about the
vegetarianism because I've seen many people go from raw vegan to
cooked vegan when they start feeling that something isn't quite right.
Personally, I think that this is a mistake.  I think that if one is
fiddling with one's diet for health reasons, the second step should
be adding raw meats and/or eggs.  Just seems the second most natural
group of foods (after fruits, veggies, and seeds; I'm not into grains
that need soaking or cooking to be palatable).  If that didn't do the
trick, I would consider adding dairy (though if my meat or egg sources
were questionable, I might well add raw milk first; at least in my
area, a raw milk supplier that I trust is easier to find than trust-
worthy sources of meat or eggs).  I would add grains only as a last
resort.

I realize that such a scheme would go against your rule #1, but I'm
of the opinion that listening to one's body includes listening to
one's brain.  I think a plan of action can be helpful in situations
such as yours, but of course, it's up to you.  :)
