Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Thanks to everyone reading My mom has and irritated gallbladder, she has been eating a southern Italian fatty/starchy/acidic (greasy, fried foods) diet. I can't seem to stop her from changing her habits, it has taken me two years to replace her sugar with Stevia, she seems to think that the southern Italian diet is the best on the planet, and I cannot convince her or her friends that there diet is wrong, and they are all getting sick, they also have physical problems due to their obesity. How do you tell these people, that what they are doing is wrong? And if I go on down grading their diet, they will lock me up. I tell her, " she can't eat this and that, " and she replies " then we can't eat nothing " . She cried one night while sitting on the toilet, and complained that she could not sleep, and she hasn't been able to sleep for two years, since this illness began, she also urinates allot, is there any recipes that anyone has to add to a proper diet, or any diets that anyone can suggests. Does anyone have any physiological advise as well Thanks skinnyvinny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinnyvinny, you are touching a subject which is essential not only for the survival of your mother, but for whole humanity on this planet. To change established habits is so extremely difficult, that people prefer to die before they let go of habits, attitudes, concepts, beliefs and their self image. Why it is so difficult? Because people are totally identified with their 'property' on all different levels: the material, their body, their intellect, their emotions. Being identified with all this gives the feeling of existence and so a certain kind of security. Being identified with their body, they use disease and the suffering connected with it also to be confirmed in their existence and so they cling on it and don't want to change it. So people don't want really to be healed, they don't want to be responsible for themselves, they like to be dependent. For this the established health system serves best: Giving chemicals to reduce the symptoms, without healing the disease, but causing side effects, which then can be treated with other pills... So the client can keep one's disease and go on suffering, but never will confront oneself and so avoiding the void of being healthy. This sounds ridicules and let one thinking that people are lacking brain, behaving like sheep or zombies, being slaves of their own unconscious needs, which mainly consist in being confirmed in their existence in the most primitive way: Eating, having sex, suffering or having fun, feeling their own power or using it on others, reacting on every thing or person or feeling hurt by the behavior of others, etc. etc. Sorry, I can't give you any physiological advice, because I'm not a health professional. medical doctor should use his authority on your mother and tell her strongly that she must make a fasting, then doing a liver cleans, etc. then doing some exercises and also moving her brain cells... Maybe she then will follow his advice. You as her daughter can't expect that she listen at you. To give you a psychological advice I would say: Learn to understand human nature and then see that your mother, like most of other people are under the hypnotic influence of established habits and they are not capable to question these. Prepare her something delicious, maybe she will enjoy it and slowly you can bring her to a more healthy diet. But don't force her or try to convince her in any way, this will only activate her defenses. Try to get her out some times from her used surrounding to enjoy other places and other people, that she don't get only self confirmation in her misery from the same people. There is quite some more to say about it, but this gets too long. You might want to read my Web site where I have written a lot about human nature, etc. I hope this helps somehow...
