Re: healing crisis - link

[Guest guest]

Thanks for this link. The part about cooked food was interesting. I

suppose the food is more " demanding " for the immune system when it's

raw.

You can download a PDF file (the first in the list) about the healing

crisis here:

http://loaves-n-fishes.com/downloads.htm

The article can also be found for online reading several places, like this one:

http://www.awarenessherbs.com/healingcrisis.htm

It seems to be a part of the marketing for a product called

Experience, but this is really secondary.

This Jimmy makes some specific claims about what intervals

phases in the crisis occur.

There's a whole book about the healing crisis written by Bruce Fife.

You can read about it on amazon.com. If you search for his name, you

can also check out his book about the health benefits of coconut (see

also http://www.coconut-info.com/ ). I haven't read any of these

titles myself.

I think (and I could easily be incorrect on this) that cooked food is

essentially dead and therefore not useful to the body and therefore it takes

more energy for it to eliminate it. This, I think, is why cooked food can be

used to slow down a cleansing if a healing crisis gets to be too much to

tolerate. I believe potatoes also serve this purpose. But of course they

would be cooked, so that makes sense, but I think it's the starch in them

that does the trick.

Just don't ask me for a link to a source to verify this. It's just going

from memory of things I think I've read!

in health,

,

My guess was just a wild one, and something along what you're saying

may well be the real reason. It can't be right in the details,

though: cooking increases the availability of many nutrients. Like,

in order to make use of the anti-oxidant bioflavonoids (sp?) in a

broccoli, the enzymes need to be " killed " by boiling, as the enzymes

otherwise would have killed the bioflavosomethings.

But now I suppose I'm starting another war of religions and promise

not to post more about this.
