Well, suffice it to say, I finally got into them and have no problem with Bacteria and Germs anymore on my Foods unless they smell actually spoiled or in some way not Healthy; in fact, I have 2 week old Turkey Thigh - My Favorite!!! :-) I've been a RAFer for over 2 years now and haven't felt better since I was a Teenager. Note: I don't know/think if this is just because of the RAF, but I like Never, I mean NEVER, get sick. I - To Life, Love, Health, And Freedom!!! - Gregg!!! Hooray, Horray for you. And I've been eating like this for five years now, and definitely believe bacteria, etc, are useful to clean up the mess. And I too never get sick anymore. My cat too loves raw chicken and liver. We fight over it. >From Gregg again, "For me I believe that being sick is just like a thought form.." Only I can't agree about the above. All the symptoms of sickness I used to have were detox crises. If you really want NEVER to get sick, try the self help measures in my article to clear out the sympathetic nervous system that controls the detoxes. Below is a paragraph from my article on my web sites (the orginal scientific paper with the proof of this is going to be in the January 2000 issue of Medical Hypotheses) I'm pleased do tell some of you who know about my project that the self help measures in my lay version are now on the Internet in eight languages and sent in pamphlet form to most prisons throughout the world. Hope you'll read the Testimonials. And if you still struggle with food addictions this is for you. Here's the paragraph in my article about phsyical health. "Physical health is improved. Toxicosis (endogenous) in the brain causes periodic under- and overstimulation of the pituitary gland and other control organs, leading toperipheral disease. When the detoxification process is finished, psychosomatic disease, better termed neurogenic, disappears. Physical health is greatly improved because neural pathways are clear, and the nervous system can do its daily job of detoxification. Unless there has been irreversible organic damage, physical disorders are likely to disappear, especially if dietary changes are made. Post-flood (recovered) people usually cannot tolerate junk food or stimulants and find they naturally change to healthy diets of mostly natural foods. Avoiding stimulants, refined sugar, bread, and milk products may help prevent future depression and excitatory nervous symptoms." I hope some of you, who are courageously going through the detox of exogenous toxins, will start the process of detoxing the brain of endogenous toxins, and reach even better health.
