811 RV Day 7 - Outta Minerals....
All,
Prior to 811 - my afternoon readings were normally 6.8 - 7.2... am was between 6 and 6.2...
Here is a link that describes it pretty well..
http://tuberose.com/Acid_Base_Balance.html
I have tested this with SAD acid meals, alkaline meals..etc.. seems to be correct.
I believe the high fruit/low fat diet is very detoxifying (ie: the Mucusless Diet Healing System by Prof. Arnold Ehret)....
Detoxification requires the neutralization of a LOT of acid waste/residue... quite draining on the m… Continue

811 RV Day4
Just a quick update. Detoxing... and decided to stop taking antifungals.....
Fruit and greens all day... then maybe 12 almonds, 5 brazil nuts, some seeds...
I am attracted to the simplicity of this diet... you can tell it is the way we were intended to eat...

811RV Day1 - Mareike how's it going ??
Had a 'warmup yesterday.. ;~)... today is my first official day on the 811RV. I have to tell you.... i am feeling OK. Seems I have more energy already.
80% carbs, 10% protein and fats.... (caloric content). The fact is - you have 5% fat... from an all fruit/greens diet... so any additional fat must be minimized.
I was eating WAY 2 MUCH FAT !!
This should be a change for the better.

Balance in the Diet
Hey out there !!! How does everyone out there balance their diet.??
D. Wolfe recommends 33% each of fats, greens, sweet fruits (by dry weight).
I personally think I am close to this - likely a bit low on the fats.
More like 20 40 40 ... or 30 35 35...
Curious if any of you pay attention to this... and how it makes you feel ?
I know I am extremely tired... no spring in my step.
Today I "fell off the smoothie wagon" and had some nut/seed crackers with avocado.... I felt better afterwards !!… Continue

Mareike said… - Hey Russ,
how's 80/10/10 working for you? Still hanging in there?
I'm currently doing high fat :( Since we last 'spoke' I approached 80/10/10 about three times but I just never last more than two weeks. One thing I notice is that after about a week on it my teeth start to get sensitive. Any experience with that?
Cheers :)

Jef said… - Thanks Russ. I actually have one in town who claims to be raw, and is into healing stuff.. actually spends his lunch hour doing "healing" type stuff with people at his office. Not sure, I think some kind of spiritual/emotional healing. Anyway, I think I'll go to him, but I'm not sure yet.
Did insurance cover any of yours? I want to check about that.

- Yes, I want to have my metals out. Did you get a special dentist to do it? Someone told me to be really careful, but now I'm paranoid to even do it. She had a lot of trouble with mercury poisoning afterward. How did you go about it?

- Saw you posted about gums receding, and lately Kevin Gianni had a video up about someone who used TOoth Soap and it helped their gums which were previously receding.
Just me, but I wouldn't expect the 80-10-10 people to acknowledge problems like that, necessarily. It would make their diet look bad. I"m not such a professoinal or anything, just my hunch, and my hunch has been that 8-1-1 wouldn't be good for me either.
Didn't you mention something in the other forum that one should not do intense cleansing/fruit eating until the metals are out of your mouth? Or was that someone else? (On Connies forum I think) Have you changed your mind about that/?
I'm sure you'll find out what helps. It sounds like you are on a quest!
blessings!

Thanks for your positive comment--We have 2 teens (17 and 15) -My eating habits are 'rubbing' off on them-one is just about vegetarian and they are way more aware of what they eat than before. I always tell them that if I had discovered Raw sooner that they would have never eaten meat or cooked foods (lol).
I wish you the best with your family--
Peace:)

Hi Elise,
I take it that the high price is gladly refunded if it "doesn't take".
Baby, this answer rocks. I understand it completely. I did quite a lot of pills over a 2 year period in my 20s and got to experience all of what you described in your 1st paragraph. When I keep my raw diet pure and stay away from nuts, I feel the ...
Congrats, bro.
A friend of mine has had issues with her parents since childhood, she tried everything including numerous counseling sessions, hypnosis etc etc. She then did a two day intensive program called ‘the breakthrough experience’ and now she’s a changed ...
I think most people want to do this because they need attention, not because it really turns them on... maybe different for the people watching? personally don't want any more secreted bodily fluids to avoid in the city.. isn't there enough piss e...
yes she is :)
wow THANK YOU!!!!
Full disclosure - I work as a therapist.
Yes, it helps.
But you should know that the value of it can't be described by the speed of the healing process or whether you're looking or seeming perfect. Therapy is about coming to terms and coming back...
I always used to get sick on foods from restaurants, but the same meal I prepared at home wouldn't make me sick.... restaurants tend to drown foods in butter and oils, you've probably been eating less of those since going on those diet.
No problem at all. We're all here to support each other in our journeys. :D
with a manual camera I used a slow shutter speed (1/5) and kept my head moving side to side. i used Photoshop to get the contrast and color look.
thanks -- it makes me really enjoy being sick!
respect,yb.
Finally reconciled with my mother two years before she split the scene at the age of 95. Load off my mind.
She was tough, tough, tough, tough.
Jewish mother nagging shit, non-fucking-stop. Always fresh to her, always Hell to me.
Ha-Ha-Ha! Yah, womyn!! Glad ya said somethin
Ohh nice! Yea, they're addicting as hell. If it wasn't for the price I would look like the Berlin Wall by now.
Wow that's got to be tough. I think I would set myself on fire if I had to live with or near either one of my parents. I'm going to try to keep distance from them & keep a diary. Thank you for the support RGG
It hasn't faded any yet, but I've only heard of problems with some of the phosphorus inks and ours don't have any in. But who knows, the approved UV inks have only been out a few years and they're more expensive so not a lot of people take the opt...
