Peter - I'm no "Himagain" - but this involves changing your whole
concept of what constitutes a meal.
Some folks eat all raw sprouts, veggies, nuts, and fruits, various
combinations to get the needed protein and nutrients. Some folks cook
the veggies, soak the nuts. There a zillion ways to go on eating natural.
There is no one URL or site. You just need to start exploring what you
feel drawn to. There are a variety of alternative health/diet e-mail
groups, go check out yahoo for a listing. Zillions of cookbooks out
there as well, check out diet and cookbooks in your local healthfood
store. Main thing is no processed foods, at all, period. I disagree
with Himagain on the "no meat", we've had discussions here in that
regards, though it is very difficult to find "healthy" meat, so there is
a point to avoiding it. And if in recovery mode it might be a necessary
step to take as well. For me, my body simply wasn't happy without some
meat, and I feel much better since reincluding some of it in my diet,
being careful to work with food combination issues - meat only with non
starchy veggies. I don't cook anything I eat other than the moderate
amounts of meat, and eggs, in my diet. Everything else is raw. But
that is what works for me. Others swear on various combinations of
cooked veggies to provide appropriate needed protein sources. There a
zillion experts, all with what they consider 'THE" answer to good
healthful diet. You have to sort through what is out there, genuinely
question your own preexisting biases and assumptions and judgements
about what a good diet is - everything society tells us is just plain
wrong, for everybody.
Then start "listening" to your own body's clues and responses,
experiment, and find what works for you.
It likely will change over time. I went for a number of years totally
raw, and no meat. developed a whole new set of frozen judgements about
this a "right", and didn't initially listen when my body let me know it
was no longer happy with this arrangement - it was a needed step along
my journey to health, but at a certain point I needed to move on. I
find my needs, what my body is wanting, is an evolving thing, and I need
to stay "tuned in" to its messages in this regards, and not let _anyone_
tell me what is right or good for me. but that doesn't mean leting my
conditioned mind and habits convince me of following their
impulses, either, and rationalizing them. It means genuinely attempting
to "rock the boat" in radical ways,
questioning all habits and diet compulsions, genuinely and objectively
noticing your body's response.
Not just does it "feel" good in the moment, but how does your body
respond to the changes. Things may
temporarily get worse before getting better - if you choose a diet
healpful to your healing journey, you are likely to start "detoxing" the
stuff you have fed your body that it didn't know what to do with and was
forced to hold till there was a chance to start moving it out. There's
a genuine learning curve along the way. Best advice I can give you is
to just go exploring different ideas around healthful diet,
non-consensus ideas, particularly those eliminating all processed foods,
entirely. See what you are drawn to. Experiment. Over the longhaul
you will become better able to hear for yourself your own body's
messages about what it is needing at any given time. Its a journey. Joy

Key factors in recovery/repair ( from ANY symptoms):
No "white" anything ever again: flour, sugar, cakes,
No booze, no coffee, no meat, no processed dairy foods.
Virtually nothing that is "fun" or "convenient" foods, or
manufactured/processed outside the home.
Works for cancer. Works for MS. CFS. Lyme, etc.
-------------------------------------------
The above sounds fine but it is difficult to imagine how to prepare a
meal.
I went thru your web but could not find anything.
Can You provide some recipes or a web site link?
Thanks
