If
I were asked which is the area of greatest misunderstanding and confusion in
the field of nutrition? I would
definitely be forced to reply, it is the failure to properly understand and
interpret the symptoms and changes which follow the beginning of a better
program.
A
better nutritional program is the introduction of foods of higher quality in
place of lower quality ones. The quality
of a nutritional program is also improved by omitting toxic substances
such as coffee, tea, chocolate, tobacco, salt, pepper, etc.
Remarkable
things begin to happen to the body as well as the mind. When the quality of the food coming into the
body is of higher quality than the tissues which the body is made of, the body
begins to discard the lower grade materials and tissues to make room for the
superior, which it uses to make the newer and healthier tissues.
What
are the symptoms or signs which become evident when we first begin to omit the
lower grade foods and instead introduce superior foods? When the use of a toxic is suddenly stopped,
headaches are common and a letdown occurs.
This is due to the discard by the body of toxins which are transported
by the bloodstream during its many bodily rounds. Before the noxious agents reach their final
destination for elimination, the irritants register in our consciousness as
pain or as a headache. Usually, within
three days the symptoms disappear and we feel stronger due to the recuperation
which follows.
As
one continues on the improved diet and gradually raises the quality, interesting
symptoms begin to appear. The body
begins a process called “retracing.” The
cellular intelligence has a chance to get rid of old garbage and build a
beautiful new house. The accent is on
elimination and the body begins to move garbage deposited in the tissues.
People
may experience skin rashes or eruptions due to elimination of poisons and harmful
drugs through the skin. If they go
to a doctor not familiar with this aspect of nutrition, he might diagnose it as
an allergy and suggest the diet be discontinued. They don’t understand that the body is
“retracing.” The skin is getting more
alive and active. These toxins being discarded are saving you from more serious
disease which will result if you keep them in your body too much longer. Possibility: hepatitis, kidney disorders,
blood disease, heart disease, arthritis, nerve degeneration, or even cancer. Be happy you’re paying your bills now in an
easy payment plan. With some, colds may
occur, or even fever. This is nature's way of housecleaning. Understand that
those actions are constructive, even though unpleasant at the moment. Do not try to stop these symptoms by the use
of certain drugs. These symptoms are
part of a curing process. These are not
deficiency conditions or allergic reactions.
Symptoms, they may include: Headaches at the
beginning, Fever and/or colds, Skin breakouts, bowel sluggishness, occasional
diarrhea, tiredness, nervousness, irritability, negativity, etc.
BEAR
WITH IT – IT IS WELL WORTH IT!!!
