Easy -- just start eating all raw food. Yea, right.

[Guest guest]

The number of websites and people that have told me to just start

eating all (or mostly) raw foods, as if it is as easy as flipping a

light switch, is driving me crazy.

This is HARD!!! (Psychologically). It tends to make me depressed,

lack energy, and be ornery.

I try eating salads every night, but even my salads have a fair

amount of non-raw stuff in them -- cooked kidney beans, cooked

garbanzo beans, pickled jalapenos, cooked shoestring cut beets...

My salad dressing is good at least -- flaxseed oil, balsamic vinegar

and garlic.

And often there isn't a salad. I've been eating way too many Amy's

soups -- vegetarian lentil and minestrone -- that I get from Costco.

Also, Amy's organic vegetarian burritos and Amy's organic vegetarian

chili. I think of yet another salad and I just say NO!!! I need

something with more substance! It's COLD outside and I need

something solid!

Well, at least I've been avoiding the meat and sugar and refined

flours and acidic foods.

But this " all raw " stuff is really hard for me to do.

When I slip up bad I usually make myself egg sandwiches with organic

eggs, fake sausage patties (heaven forbid SOY PROTEIN) and even a

thin slice of cheese, on whole grain bread. Not the best dinner for

a cancer patient, that's for sure.

I often prefer NO FOOD to raw food. Usually I eat nothing until

noon, opting instead for a slew of supplements that all need to be

taken on an empty stomach: 7:00 AM beta glucan, 8:00 AM ABM mushroom

capsules, 9:00 AM parasite cleanse, 10:00 AM either IP6 OR

artemisinin (part of a 12 hour protocol), then 12:00 noon Budwig mix

with supplements for lunch. So I often get NO raw food until late

afternoon or evening (except maybe fruits and nuts in the Budwig

mix). The Budwig mix often lasts from noon to 6:00 PM -- huge

caloric load there with the flaxseed oil, CC, and other foods added

in, so no hunger for quite awhile.

The Wigmore guy I know says I'm nuts. " Just eat all raw " he

says, " and you won't need any of those supplements " . He told me this

while munching down 8 varieties of desserts, sushi from a sushi

platter, pumpkin bread, and potatoes au-grautin at a pot luck

dinner. " Just eat all raw, dude! Munch munch munch munch " . He

noticed me staring at his plate. " Oh -- this stuff. I'll fast next

week and get back on the wagon " he said.

Please forgive me! I'm type O blood and I think Kelley would rate me

a " mixed " type that leans fairly heavily towards a heavy protein

eater, while remaining somewhat mixed.

Any suggestions for doing better on the raw food?
