Re: 30 Day Raw Food Experiment
Chip, have you been forced to take meds like Prilosec due to an over abundance of acid?
(Have you been checked out to determine if you have a virus or bacteria running rampant? You may already know all about it, if not there are tests for them.)
2 things might help, check with your doctor about the first and your local swami on the second, 1-2 table spoons of 99.9% pure Aloe Vera Gel cut with 25% of your favorite fruit juice that does not bother you and 25% water twice a day once in the morning and once in the evening, if juice is out of the question then water. That may help to start the healing process. }}}Caution, Woo Woo Alert{{{ The second thing is kind of out of the box perspective, try meditation. Primal Sound meditation, it's a great healing technique.
For an over view,
Tuning In to the Primal Sound
Check out the Tibetan Bowl sound meditation on this link as an example (I didn't check out the others):
how to meditate with sound
Funny thing about the "primal sound", I knew about Aum and other sounds to listen to or chant, but years ago when I was fooling around with my Jackson Charvel (one of the pickups is a Seymour Duncan SH-? Humbucker and the other is a Hand Made pickup can't remember the make (great for over driving, But I digress) and my Boss pedals, I noticed that there were certain notes that were a total vehicle that could just suck your attention away because you followed the sound. Certain cords are like that too, I think they call some of them "Power Cords" I'm not 100% sure. It's hard to explain. Basically you just sit and listen, going past all the sounds around you until they fade into the back ground, and wait. It can be many types, the sound sand makes as a wave leaves the beach, a violin, bag pipes, a flute, thunder... you can't chase it. It's very much like hunting something at night, if you look directly at it, you can't see it but you can see it at the sides of your vision as you scan and if it moves. This sound is kind of like that, you sort of chase it backwards, you become aware of it and let it come to you. I know, confusing as all hell, can't get much more woo woo than that, but it's the best way I know how to explain it. Once you "get" it, it's locked in until it changes. The next time a crunch hits and your stress lever hits the roof all you have to do is put your attention on that sound and your body switches to that meditative mode as if you were doing your daily meditating routine and the energy changes and you are not moved by stress. That's my story and I'm sticking with it. Hope it helps you.
