Don't give up kevin. Staying the course is the only way you're going to get your symptoms under control and unfortunately it's not all going to be easy. If you do it though and get yourself to a healthy balance then the odd cheat won't really affect you. Everyone hits rough patches and it's very tempting to give in sometimes but you'll just stay stuck if you don't at least try. Give it a chance.

Don't give up.
You can get through this and, in the end, you will be healthier than most people and have true long-term health.

Cravings can be unbearable sometimes. They can make you want to give up just as much as the health problems and detox symptoms do. I can tell by your previous posts that you are having problems with cravings. Doesn't everyone?

Please check out the Warrior Diet Forum . //www.curezone.org/forums/f.asp?f=745

I also had unbearable cravings and I find this diet to be very helpful.
Essentially, you eat raw fruit in the morning, for lunch you have raw fruit/veggies or a few nuts. Then for dinner you can eat other things. You can start off by eating whatever you have been craving during the day for dinner, then you can slowly make your dinners more healthy. You get great health benefits because you are essentially doing raw food for 20 hours, but you also get the mental benefit of reducing cravings because during the day, you know you can "eat it later" and then when you actually do eat it, you will find that you need less and less unhealthy food to satisfy yourself. If you are at your wit's end, it's worth a try.

Good Luck,
Tina.

Healing always starts with the mind first. There is a saying that some naturopaths use.."haven't had enough pain yet" This simply means that some people don't listen to the signals their bodies are giving them and are in conflict with their belief systems.

Media paints candy, chocolate cake, pop, etc as something that brings about happiness, etc. They masterfully create a perception of what the norm is. Billions are spent on think tanks whose sole puprose is to deceive and lead the culture at large into trapped thinking. From the need for makeup to fashion, to food choices, to chemicals and ways to deal with health, these are ALL craftily manipulated in a way that your choicese come from within the paraameters that have been erected. I can assure you (after working many years in the advertising business and dealing with globalsits face to face) that their "norm" is not aligned with natural health, hapiness or freedom. It is set up to function in one direction...to feed the global parasites. Perceptions are tweakeds very similarly to the way that smoking is painted as being sexy, cool etc yet literally kills. We have junk food, chemicals, war, etc, all being sold to us in a way that it becomes part of our reality, part of our chosen experience.

These lies are being programmed into our mainstream culture by inscrupulous profiteers. For more reading on how this programming is acheived, start by searching on Edward Bernays, who was Freud's nephew and brought psychological manipualtion to the global elite. They inturn, use these sophisticated methods to entrain you to a consumeristic lifestyle in which they profit off us. This relationship is parasitic.

Empower yourself to understand this programming and take steps to undo it. Take back your power, first in your mind, and the rest will follow suit. Once you go down the rabbit hole of awareness, the culture looks like a very different place. It is akin to a amssive insane asylum. Wake up out of that and your body will match your balanced mental state with a physical state to go with it. We create our reality, first by our thoughts. Get clear enough to choose them wisely (not by default) and your experience will be projected out of that new "code."

Things to consider while getting clear and taking back your power.:

Change friends if need be. Seek supportive and nuturing relationships that take you to where you want to go.

Disconnect form all mainstream media as it it nothing more than a programming/entrainment tool for the global elite.

Seek mentors who have achieved a state in which you desire for yourself.

Be open to infinite possibilites.

Enjoy the process of "improving."

Don't get attached to things outsode yourself.

Don't take your belief systems for granted. Examine them from all angles. People drink koolaide to their death. What makes your beleif system is any more coherent?

Work on your emotional health and wellness.

Study all angles of healthby those who have achieved it.

Study different angles of consciousness/spirituality

Get passionate about creating your life the way you envision it and enjoy the process

ya,

Im sitting here reading the replies and eating big plate of spaghetti. ugh..

Now is the time to settle in and take control! Your description is exactly how I felt in Jan-Feb 2005 and my list of ills could rival many... my discouragement was to the point I wanted to die and be done with it.

The doctors made thier move, and pissed me off bad enough that it caused me to take pause and think for myself (as far as my health was concerned) and get the hell out of their offices; hopefully for good.

I am not pain free now, but from almost being ready for a wheel chair (if doctors had their way) to now working out 1.5 hours a day and learning\teaching martial arts again, I have come a long way.

Was it my determination, taking charge and positive thinking on my abilities to get better? Probably had a LOT to do with me improving.

Did it happen over night? No.

Am I still determined and working on it? You bettcha!

Do I believe I will get better still? Absolutely!

Will I ever give my health away to the medical establishment again? Never.

Hey.

I'm 19 and I've had digestion problems all of my life.

They have totally fuq'd up my life in the last 2 years and I'm sitting in [a self-imposed] prison for it. [I'm living in a house I do NOT desire to be at ~ where there's so much fighting and negative arguing and manipulation, but I'm too fearful to leave because I'm embarrassed of my health challenge].

First of all, 'I'm sick' is NOT a good reinforcement.

You are not sick. You are you. You are Soul. Sick? No. Spirit? Yes.

Have you manifested an illness as means to work out negative programming? Yes. Snatch this Opportunity and.. as Lapis says.. get clear.

You can change your diet.
You can change your environment.
You can change your tribe -

But you'll stay where you are until you change your mind .

The steps above are very helpful ~ when you are ready to see past the illusion.

One question:

Do you want to heal?

REALLY ask yourself that question while you look at the plate of spaghetti.. or even next time you take a bite.

But maybe these are just words.

And who am I to talk? I'm still ill and in a .. less than desireable position.

Perhaps intellectually you know what to do.

But emotionally, are you ready?

well...this phrase: "messed up" repeated twice, says a lot about what might be going on with your *programs*.

consider these like a tape someone put on--you or another-- that just loops and loops, or worse, is set so that "triggers" will get it going again.

Recognize anything here ?

you'll never amount to anything

what's wrong with you...

why bother, there's no point...

might as well give up, you'll never...(fill in the blanks)


The key can be that you 'catch' the tape
when it is "on". And hear the "You....."


That tells you it's an old tape.
Like making the outside the enemy. Very convenient.

You have to
SEE it
before you can
clear it.

then the work begins.
Maybe EFT.

Maybe
removing "entities"

a la Andreas Moritz ..

maybe (no--for certain)
Big Time cleansing...

It could actually be quite simple,
and more to do with


cleansing...


forgiving the self...


etc.


I forgot to state one thing:
asking for forgiveness--not of your father, or some guy, or your mother, or some girl, but of the highest that you can imagine
seeing you. And still loving you. Someone who walks near you,
and is unconditional.

That IS they key here--I feel.
the *asking* activates the humility--the humility activates
the receptivity--the receptivity
activates the intuitive--the intuitive
activates the Holy.

The holy (wholly)--heals.

It's humbling and ennobling, both!


(in a nutshell:-) )

this whole lower stomach into top legs being extremely sore thing is really ticking me off. It wouldnt be so bad if it wasnt for the clothes and my boxers constantly moving and touching the area. ITS BEEN A WEEK! IM GETTING IMPATIENT! Usually this stuff leaves in a couple days or whatever. Whenever I bend over or move my stomach back and forth I just feel this burniness. almost like a scratchy burniness inside. Its very sore to the touch of course,but when I move is when I feel the burny feelings and what not. especially when my skin rubs against my shorts or boxers or w/e. GAHH! hard to explain..its actually worse then it sounds believe me. this is somin ive never had before.
