Knowing any of it (detox) is true..(?)
I still have trouble knowing a lot of the theories are true that are so prevalent in the raw food world. Like when a person detoxes that parasites and metals come to the surface of their skin or are expelled from their body in other ways. I was just reading some great stuff on the internet about this but wish I could really know what was happening and have some kind of evidence.
I was curious if chlorella did the same thing as seaweed in chelating metals from the body. What I read confirmed this but it also said then you are more suseptible to fungal infections and candida because the mercury can keep these things at bay. I have 3 mercury fillings and have been ingesting a lot of cilantro for the past couple of years. It bothered me to think that what I was eating may have been pulling mercury out of my teeth and causing me to ingest more than I would have been from regular food.
But I am going to have them taken out in 2 weeks. I am going to make sure and take chlorella, cilantro, and or seaweed everyday after that to absorb\chelate what may get into my system.But it looks like there may be other things like candida to worry about as well. I am going to do my best to discourage candida as well for several weeks following the procedure.
If you have any good sources on this I'd love to see them. Other than Hippocrates in Fla I haven't heard of anyone who has done extensive tests on themself to see what is happening or Doctors who have offerred testing that could show what is really going on with someone. I think this would be good to know of if there really are a lot of people doing this sort of thing out there. Like looking at the skin microscopically to see if there are parasite eggs coming out or what..

I feel fungal overgrowth is the biggest threat to human health today and it's always wise to win the war on candida. I used to be really into making sure I didn't eat any food that raw vegans considered toxic and be really dogmatic. I prefer living life eating a sensible diet and not getting involved in the self indulgence of cleansing the toxins and all those beliefs. Hundreds of millions of people do OK not going into fear about the toxins and making themselves incredibly sensitive to the slightest changes in what they eat and making their biological terrain more sensitive. Enjoy living and walk the middle path is my advice.

Hi Marcus! I totally hear you on the fungal growth issue. Maybe what happens is people start getting candida and fungus and then that turns chronic and then it calcifies. I wish there was a way to test for this. I just haven't heard of exact procedures being used to test for this and then some way to find out if it has been cleared from the body for the most part. This is a hard thing to research and it would be so important for the raw food movement as far as credibility goes.

So do I. It's nice to hear someone say this besides Dr. Crooke, Dr. Kaufma, and Donna Gates.
(But I also had heavy metal poisoning with mercury and other metals--it's an issue too.)

did you go to a regular Dr. to take blood tests to show this?

I had a hair analysis done through a doctor twice (he sent it to "Doctor's Data Labs"): once in 2005 and again in 2009. A blood analysis is not as reliable as a hair analysis.

The body gets rid of any waste matter it does not need. It's nature. The proof is nature.
Nothing you ingest - can pulll anything from you. Because matter is self moving. The whole universe is radiations swapping forms.
The body isn't like a normal chemical experiment in a labratory. Nature's labratory can not be repeated artificially.
But this is my philosophy. You are entitled to dream whatever you like.
When the organism does not complete a healing cycle - waste matter will stay in the body - and it will try and get out any orafice it can. It will try to get out of your ears, eyes, nose, mouth, pores, genitals...wherever it can!
It will be swollen and red and it will be pus. The pus is not the poison. It is the mucus - the poison is located in the middle of the mucus.
That's why we don't recommend urine therapy - it introduces waste - which the body got rid of - back into the organism.
Hygiene, green and clean!!!
Any pimple, or growth on the body - is the body trying to remove the toxins - as much as it is not as EFFICIENT as other type of healing - like fever - it is still an effort.
Hardening on the skin and diseases like this which are near the surface - are not actually eliminated yet. They are just spots of accumulation - which are laid down in the tissues of the skin. You can see them which makes you wonder??
These same accumulations of toxins can be in any organs.
The chronological order of disease is - irritation - inflammation - ulceration - hardening - degeneration

Thanks for your reply Angus. The couple times I have done a detox I have had symptoms. It still could be a coincidence that what heppened when it happened. That is what is confusing me. I was just thinking that blood analysis may tell. Bryan CLement does it at Hippocrates. Some people have said this isn't valid science for some reason but supposedly ou are able to see fungus in blood before going low glycemic and then the fungus is gone after a few weeks of low glycemic.

AU are your mercury fillings falling out?
I had one chip off about 2 weeks ago, but I don't think it's really diet related. I think the fillings are past their time, cause I had one loosen up about 2 yrs ago before I was raw.

The dentist said one of mine had broken off. So I guess I swallowed it- which kind of worried me. I was suprised to hear from the dentist here that these kind of fillings aren't used anymore. Because I had mentioned taking them out to a denist a few years ago in (Atlanta) and he acted like I was crazy. So I will be really happy to get them out.

There are so many unique people, with their own ways of eating.
Vegan, Vegetarian, Lacto-Vegetarian, Ova-Vegetarian, Fruititarian and Raw foodist are some of the many labels people define themselves or others.

"Fashionista's" simply look at Fashion as an Art, their own bodies as the canvas, and the sense of style they develop along the way is simply the masterpiece.
