My Experince Going To A Raw Food Diet

Raw Food Diet

I recently watch the documentary film Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days, if you are not familiar with the film they take 6 people who have type 1 & 2 diabetes and cure them of diabetes in 30 days by doing nothing else except changing their diet.

There were doctors on hand 24 hours and doing regular blood tests and a variety of other tests to ensure it all went safe.

I don’t have diabetes however my Grandfather, yet more out of interest and curiosity I brought the DVD.

After watching the film and seeing remarkable results like 80% of the participants not needing to inject themselves with insolent with in the first week simply by eating a raw food diet and then 4 out of the 6 completely being cured of type 2 diabetes 1 cured of type 1 which is considered incurable by many doctors and the other type 1 participant reducing his insulin intake considerably by the end of the 30 days I was amazed, yet in some ways not overly surprised.

You are what you eat and the human body is designed to heal itself if you feel it right and live a balanced diet. When you look at our modern day western diet’s consisting of so many processed dead foods it is sad yet not to surprising that in Australia 2 in 3 people by 65 will have cancer and 1 in 3 have heart disease.

So after watching the film I thought I would give it a try too. After all it was only 30 days and what’s the worse can happen. If I didn’t see any improvements or didn’t enjoy it I could easily go back to my usual eating habits which I considered fairly healthy anyway.

Well it has been almost 7 weeks now since I started making shifts towards a raw vegan diet and I have to say I am loving it. I have more energy and focus than ever before, I actually feel energised after meals and not sleepy or tired – what a concept!

My skin is amazing, my finger nails are stronger and I am healing quicker than before too. (I practise Tong Long Kung Fu where we hit each other quite often).

When I started I didn’t go completely raw and vegan 100% to start with as I don’t think I could have handled it, instead  I eased myself into it and kept improving every couple of days, adding things and taking out others.

I was already vegetarian so the change for me was not that drastic as it could be for others and cutting out dairy completely has been one of the last changes I made however after seeing the results I wish I had of cut dairy out weeks ago.

Here Are My Top 9 Benefits And Reasons For Going To Raw Food Diet

  1. More Energy – I feel energized after eating each meal, I never feel bloated, tired or lethargic. What a concept lol
  2. Improved Skin – My skin has cleared up, not that I had a major skin problem to begin with I would get the odd pimple but nothing major, I noticed the biggest improvement to my skin as soon as I cut out dairy, it only took 3 days before I started seeing great results. I have noticed my skin is  more youthful, it has a glow to it is… well clear.
  3. Heal Faster – I am healing faster. I practise Tong Long Kung Fu and we tend to hit each other quiet often getting many bruises, etc I notice I am healing faster than before and faster than many of my colleagues.
  4. More Focus, Less Stress – I have more focus, concentration and feel more in alignment or congruent with who I want to be – if that makes sense. This means I am more productive but less stressed even when there is pressure to meet deadlines
  5. Environmental – I have less trash in my bin at the end of the week/month most of the waste is biodegradable, less plastic packaging, etc so it is better for the environment and your garden if you have one.
  6. Easy To Prepare Meals – It take less time to prepare food and 90% of the time I only require a knife, a chopping board and a bowl or plate, this also means less cleaning up to do J
  7. Less Binging – I tend to only eat to feed my body and not to fulfil a sugar craving or as an escape mechanism, my binging on junk food has pretty much just fallen away.
  8. Weight Loss – I have lost weight, which I have never had a weight problem but I have noticed I have lost the small bit of flab I had on my stomach, my body is more lean and muscular now.
  9. Over All Wellbeing - It feel healthier, a healthy body equals and healthy mind and sprite, which means I am firing on all cylinders so to speak. It is funny we almost all make sure our cars are in great working order but often neglect our body which will get you a lot more joy or pain depending on how you treat it than your car ever will

I understand eating a raw food diet is not for everyone and I never want to tell someone else what they should do, as i believe as soon as I do that they can start telling me what to do. But I would suggest try it out for 30 days and see how you feel, after all what’s the worse can happen, you don’t like it and you go back to where you are now.

The food industry is massive and when it comes to food and our diets we are sold so much rubbish about what is so called ‘good’ for us.

Think Walking On Water Was Good? It’s Got Nothing On This Modern Day Miracle.

April18

Walk On Water

When I first heard about this astonishing modern day miracle back in December 2008 like most people I didn’t believe it, how could it be? Were some of my reactions.

I was reading a blog post of one of my role models Dr Joe Vitale. I have been learning from Joe for around 7 or 8 years now by reading many of his books and programs. He has one of the best writing styles around, has a very diverse range of knowledge on some really interesting topics and an awesome car collection.

To say the least I trust his recommendation. So when I first heard about Joe new book at the time Zero Limits about a doctor who healed all the patients in a criminally insane mental ward with out even seeing the patients one on one.

I have to say I was intrigued by the whole story; Joe defiantly has a way with words to make it sound convincing. But to be honest my first thought was ‘Joe, I hope you are right about this because you are about to lose all your credibility, this sounds crazy.’

As usual I ordered Joe’s new book at the time and I read about Dr Joe Vitale’s determination as he meets with Dr Hew Len to unearth what really happened and how did he really heal all those criminals insane patients and how did he do it with out even seeing them one on one.

Dr Hew Len’s response was I just cleaned and cleared using Ho’oponopono.

Ho’opono..what?? Yeah it is a strange word; it is an ancient Secret Hawaiian System for health, wealth and happiness . I don’t feel like I am authorized to explain much about how it works as I am still only a young student of Ho’oponopono however I have something much better.

After Joe Vitale published the Zero Limits book, Dr hew Len and Joe Vitale received much attention and many people asking for more information about Ho’oponopono so they put on 3 intimate workshops where Dr Hew Len went deeper into how to use Ho’oponopono to not only heal yourself and others but have more health, wealth and happiness in your life.

Just in the last few days Joe Vitale has launched a free blog with in-depth videos and Q and A reports about Zero Limits and Ho’oponopono. So if you are interested in learning more about the ancient secret Hawaiians system to enrich you life make sure to check out these free videos.

The great thing about this secret ancient therapy can be practiced by anyone, any where.

Thoughts Are Things – Can You See Yours?

October20

In the law of attraction and personal development arena we all know that thoughts and intentions are powerful. We are all taught that thoughts are things and that your intentions create your experience.

However have you even seen a thought?

We all see the results of our thinking, all you have to do is look around and see what you and others have created. The state of your home, your relationships, your job or career, what you eat for breakfast this morning, etc are all results from your thinking and your intentions.

How would you like to get a glimpse of a thought in real time?

Watch this short 3 minute video.

Amazing isn’t it!

Every time I watch this it always reminds me how powerful we are and that our thoughts affect more of our lives than we usually thinkJ. But that is the human experience that we have all come here to have and share.

I have a saying on my bedroom `wall that I put up about 2 years ago to help me remind myself of the power we all have and I want to share it with you here:

Although everything is energy the difference between humans and objects is that we are spiritual, which means we can influence other energies. We can alter the energy of a chair, table, car and even other people.

Taken a step further, if we are all energy and we are all one that means what you do affects me and what I do affect you even if we are continents apart.

I am not totally sure where I got this from I think, I think it came from Bob Proctor but either way it always grounds me and reminds me what is important.

All thoughts are really just energy, as is everything else in this universe; it is great to have a broad spectrum of thoughts and feelings just like the colours of a rainbow, which is the human experience.

Feel appreciation for all the thoughts you have even the so called bad ones and feel love for the power within them.  By doing this you will releases the energy blocks and gain more power and energy.

Thank you for letting me share this and from something I learned from Dr Joe Vitale and Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len – I love you, I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you.
