Hi Kirt,

Well yes. So far I know only one little boy whom I see frequently.
After three years where mainly the mother cared for him he became a
terrible demanding child which always expected every wish of him to
fulfill. He couldn't tolerate if something went in another direction.
Shortly after the father engaged more, this ugly phenomen was gone.
Healthwise he seems to do very well - no doctor seen up to now. And
he now is around 3.5 years old.

Yes, if something went wrong I first would let go little enhance-
ments of my own, like eating three proteins in the evening. Just
retur-
ning to the roots.

Being pure has never been my interest, but being healthy was and is!
I'm always asking what I can get away with something. Even in the
daily
work in my company. I ignore things that are done for gaining status
and attention. Very non-diplomatic (and pollyanna-like supposedly).

>Life is grand. I wish I could have several lifetimes!

Man, you have! Read "conversations with god" by Neale D. Walsch. It's
all explained there.

Come up, the past is the past. You are living here and now. No compen-
sation necessary.

Ah well, here come again the social reasons. There was a time when I
felt alienated to the cooked world. This is over. I just feel being a
part of this big game and if others eat in another way it's just their
way of living. It's not my way any longer but maybe for them it's
helpful.

We are having different impressions here.

Hm, let's approach this again from the practical side like I always
do:
Have you got any hints for him to get rid of his remaining ailments?

The instincto idea has its air-tight defense ready, I have to admit.
If it can't be blamed to buying bad commercial quality or not obeying
to the food combination rules, it finally is attributed to your
ancestors
with their terribly unhealthy living style which let them degenerate.
Well, degeneration is a fact (pottengers cats) but to blame everything
to the above three reasons is obviously too much.

I will try my best.

Instinctive greetings,
