Dear Ellie, >Or by being deficient in nutrients thereby triggering the imprints of >past traumas/deprivations. > >>They are an indication that emotions have been repressed and want >>out. Emotions are stored as endogenous chemicals in the brain and >>cause toxicosis. Hi Ellie, A few thoughts questions for you. Not on the raw foods. Do you think that the stagnant emotions/endogenous chemicals can be stored in areas other that the brain? Gerda Boyesen and Centre in her name in London feels they are in the intestines, too. A NYTimes article 1/23/96 also had latest research on intestines and stated they had their own emotional center. Is your work exclusive to the brai?. I feel I have had brain "damage" from early abusive toilet training and ensuing constipation. I am recovering slowly as I do more living foods, fluids, exercise, and the best I can to heal emotionally and mentally. Part of the damage is from the emotional trauma, part from the toxins circulating from constipation.
