Raw food and the prostate gland!
Hi everyone, I have a question. My 20 year old son moved out of the house, rebelled against all of his mothers health food, is getting no sleep along with ingesting goddess knows what else and now has a lingering case of prostatitis that the doctor is treating with antibiotics. It seems to have been brought on by a urethral stricture that he had fixed last month, but he is really desperate to bring his body back into a healthy state. I have been talking to him about a raw food diet and he has finally (YEA!) started eating alot better. Do any of you have any knowledge, positive or negative about a raw diet and it's effect on the prostate?

Debbie,
Thank you! That is a wonderful story about the man in your class. I will share that one with Alex. Believe it or not, I had that thought too (about all the lovely young women) There is nothing that motivates a 20 year old like a pretty woman! He just broke up with his girlfriend of three years, another part of the equation! He really stopped taking care of himself while he was in the middle of that relationship and that definitely contributed to the problem . She had the worst taste in food. I used to say to him that if they got married, I needed to see my grandchildren at least one weekend out of every month because I was not going to have them growing up thinking that Prego was really food! He is really a darling young man even if it's his mother saying so!
Thank you so much for your response! It's great to meet you!

Thank you Suvine,
He is a gorgeous kid and it's been so hard to see him struggle. I am going to share with him your positive feedback and I know that he will appreciate it. I'd love to get him to join this group, it would be so good for him to feel like he had partners in his new life adventure!
Thanks!
Beth

Thank you Michael,
I couldn't agree with you more! I can count the amount of meds that he's had in his life on one hand. He was homeschooled, so it was easy to help him along. When he reached 18 though he started rebelling against everything he'd been taught. Typical I guess, but now he is paying the price. He is thankfully really willing to take another look though. It's crazy, the amount of influence that peers can have. When he left home, he started abusing drugs and gettting absolutely no sleep. Really reeks havoc on the body. He always gets his lessons fast though, it's his karma. So at this point ,he's pretty scared and I'm glad!
Thank you so much for for your thoughts!

Nice picture and changes! I plan to go on a similar diet at some point, whenever I move out of Vermont and somewhere warmer. Lovin' the posts on your site, keep it up :P.

I'm not clicking the link. I'm sure the Wikipedia links explains it but I'd prefer to think that your head literally explodes.
What the ginger? The ginger is mine unfortunately -_- But I have a tendency to try to get rid of it, and since I absolutely will not touch synthetic hair dyes, I'm stuck with doing it myself with plant dyes - Which is reaaally hard. I usually end ...

I think the color suits you, it looks right. Sometimes when people color their hair it's obvious that it's a dye job and it just looks off. Yours doesn't look off at all. Anyway, it's a lot better than my hair! ;)

Okay, mishap was a bit generous. I decided to dye it, so I bought some indigo (plant dye) and started sectioning off the front bits of my head and putting the dye in, and then as I tried to get further back and farther down, I ran out. So now the ...
when I say he eats like a horse, its probably not as much as alot of kids, but he does have a healthy appetite. He is just really skinny as he never sits still. There isn't anywhere here from him to fast so i will just have to simplify his diet fu...
Nah, I had a mishap with some indigo I bought to dye my hair darker. It's washing out though, no biggie. Probably why I shouldn't mess around with hair dye, no matter how natural it is.
