Raw Food Healing

I totally recommend this guy's advice and his Ebook regarding the real practical ways of transitioning to a raw food diet. Afterwards you may have only one ailment left - chronic joy, which can't be bad.
There should be more research done to show the effects of everyday brain affecting food and drink. I know from personal experience that sugar can make you high and then low. That coffee can make you buzz and then not sleep, that smoking takes the vitamin C out of your body and that you get more Vitamin C (or antioxydants) from fresh raw foods than from anything we are used to in cooked diets.
It is the antioxydants, the minerals and the subtle compounds in our food that out bodies rely on for true health, for building, sustaining and healing our bodies. The purer it is, the purer our bodies will be. If you can rule out the causative factors of disease, the root causes, you get a better look at what's going on.

The Buddha gave one piece of health advice and that was never to eat until your full - always leave one part empty. Amma says that many ailments are caused by the simple act of not getting enough exercise and we all know that one of the major cures for depression is exercise and more of it. I healed myself of a bout of depression by becoming an Adventure Instructor. I didn't laugh a real laugh for three months, I just pretend smiled my way through all my physical training and adventure sport, until one day when I let out probably a loud and spontaneous guffaw and realised it wasn't fake.

Also my symptoms of eczema and asthma which have been severe since child hood have been thoroughly relievedby introducing significantly more raw food into my diet.

'The Big Qeuestions of Our Time' Sundeep Waslekar

'A big question of our time is how globalisation can be made relevant to the marginal people of the world. It is not a question of scarcity or abundance of resources. It’s not even a question of distribution of resources. It’s a question of creating real freedom of opportunity, where people, and not merely capital, can earn good returns for their participation in the economy.' Sundeep Waslekar

In the article 'The Big Questions of Our Time' all of which can be found here http://www.strategicforesight.com/archive_sw.htm Sundeep Waslekar gives a brilliant, realistic and visionary view of the world as a whole and the many problems and solutions. Deeply thought. Well worth reading.
