Give it to me Raw

Hi everyone : )

So Ive been mostly vegan for most of my life and then in January of this year, while at the Optimum Health Institute, I discovered the power of a raw food diet. At the time, I was super sick and exhausted from Adrenal Failure and Hypothyroidism, after many years of stress... But after 1 week on wheatgrass, I felt better than I'd felt in 3 years!

So my question is -- can raw food heal Hypothyroidism?

Because there are many studies that show that RAW broccoli, kale, cabbage, spinach, yams, and a few other cruciferous veggies actually SUPPRESS the thyroid gland... Soy and all oils also do, except for extra virgin olive oil, and coconut oil -- which actually stimulates the gland..

I'm currently treating my Hypothyroidism with acupuncture, yoga and a prescribed medication called Armour from my Integrative Physician.. Im not into taking pills, but at least the Armour that I'm taking is the natural alternative (it's pretty much dried thyroid gland from pigs), as most people take a synthetic version.

Id like to get off the medication totally and Id like to know if there are other natural ways to heal myself...


I'd love to hear your thoughts, input....


Thanx!

I wonder if I can reverse the damage done by the American medical society by detoxifying my thyroid somehow...you see, they gave me radioactive iodide to "kill" it or render it inactive...I believe it is still "there"...when my daughter was 2-ish (she is a definite Crystal child) she pointed to my thyroid, you know how it flaps over your throat, she pointed to both sides and she said, "the doctors hurt you right there and right there"...like she can see the energy, or the lack there-of...I said, I know! What should I do about that? and she said, "you have to fix it!" Well, this was almost five years ago, but of course it will never leave me...I wonder if there was some way to flush the junk out of the thyroid if it would just reactivate? Cool thoughts for a beautiful sunny day in Alaska~

Wow, Crystal, that's amazing about your daughter! Maybe Cellfood and seaweed and other anti-radioactives could help. I bet energy medicine, like guided imagery and quantum touch could! Guided imagery help you tap the mind/body connection, but it also helps you tap into your higher self for answers. I like Martin Rossman's cd's. I'm learning it and plan to incorporate it.

Quantum touch is also something I want to learn. I read the book, but haven't practiced it yet. It's like reiki on steroids:)

I am vegan...I fully believe there are plenty of vegan goodies for healing and taking from animals can not be beneficial in the over-all picture, especially karma...but awesome advice all around...funny, I don't like raspberry flavored anything so I've avoided it all my life, but fresh rasberries I can do...I just only started doing raw 3 weeks ago and I've never been much of keeping berries around except for my daughter who absolutely loves them...when I am done with my yeast cleanse (sugar fast) I will bring back the berries!
The quantum touch looks awsome too...adding to my list of requirments to manifest.

"I think it’s finally time to lay the thyroid / raw cruciferous vegetables issue to bed…

Today, I’m going to explain the REAL effect of raw cruciferous vegetables on the thyroid. This may upset some people, or it may clarify a whole lot.

By sharing this information, my purpose is to build responsibility within the health industry, so that we don’t spread semi-truths based on one study… but use a whole body of research to come to our conclusions.

Or… better yet, we use the testing tools available to see what’s happening in our own bodies, so the guessing game is eliminated."

I was wondering... if the whole reality is now changed... from before Kirk launched... Would that mean that the next series they will bring out is the original Kirk, but in this altered reality...?

Were the Hobbits raw vegan? Does the Death Star look like a honeydew melon to you? Have you ever played Halo or WoW while juice feasting? Would Superman be even stronger if he got monthly colonics? Discuss all these questions and more right here.
