my brothers and sisters... my story and what WORKED.. to purge me of HORRORS

my goodness, thank you all collectively for being here, not that any of you would know it. ive been browsing here for some time, bounced around a lot of things in my head and done a lot of reading, arrived at many conclusions, but to keep it simple lets just say i try to eat mostly wild or local food and keep myself moving. i would never have believed i could have had parasites, i had to sign up and tell everyone here that this is truly a good place and a haven for those who wish to take hold of their health and happiness. what i have passed this past week or so has been both horrifying and liberating, there is surely more to go.

in short i remember my confusion and desperation when i finally accepted i had parasites. i had no idea what products to get or whether it was all nonsense and if i was losing my mind. it is a lonely place to be, and since i make no distinction between myself and you, i want to help people by sharing my story, verrry quickly cos i have to be somewhere:P but i had to do this, but be warned, this is only what worked for me, i had been very weak from course after course of drugs from birth and all my life and junk food diet!

you must listen to yourself above all and honor natural practices and good health but here is what ive eaten, nothing more nothing less in the past 6 weeks or so, SOME of it [a few weeks ago] was not optimal and was just weakness and desperation from detox, but here it is unbiased and bare, that somehow some ingredients are purging me beyond ALL BELIEF

herbs

living thyme, parsley [ate this like a mad rabbit for about a week, straaange craving] basil,
dried oregano turmeric cayenne and black pepper, also a little bit of cumin, ohh and shedloads of dried cinammon

liquorice sticks from chinese supermarket

lots of fresh and dried organic ginger [cut back on this cos i havent been shopping for it in ages but its good in home made teas! really warmed my stomach from too much cold/ yin tropical fruit and helped calmed my massively distended belly, which keeps going and returning with BMs but really scared me. i hope some can take comfort from this pain i felt and be strong and not fall off the healing wagon/diet!]

IDEAS
put cinammon liberally on ripe bananas, somehow its amazing for me!
make your own herbal teas, i often use licquorice with mine for its harmonizing effect on other ingredients[long story hard to explain but it works]
with roots and herbs and alsorts, literally i became my own chinese medicine doctor goji berries and everything steeped in hot water, all in balance.
ESPECIALLY CLOVES
god i craved these so much.

i am no expert though and im unfortunately in a rush so forgive this disjointed message people..



anyway onto seeds and nuts, these deserve a category of their own because of the shocking results ive had
sunflower seeds [nice to snack on but go easy, you want to keep your bowels moving and if you go crazy on seeds or nuts that arent sprouted or are a little toxic in big doses like almonds, you will probably feel the bloating much much more as your body tries to eliminate parasites
pumpkin seeds [ i had horrifyingly effective results from drying them straight from the pumpkin as opposed to buying them seperately]
sesame seeds [been overeating them lately, they seem to purge me a bit but also block me up.. i ate them like a mad man with honey and wheat free tamari soy sauce.. dont ask.]
linseeds [a new addition, REALLY helped keep things moving, have a tbsp. then follow straight after with 2 cups of liquid, they say water but i like home made teas instead]

you MUST MUST MUST if you are going 100 raw as i did on and off but mostly above 95%, you must keep warm if you are in a cold climate. the bloating was criminally worse for me i found, i NEEDED those teas between meals and i NEEDED my good old snug but slightly effeminate nightgown and socks in bed!

it is worse for me tho cos im so thin, maybe you can do totally raw and be okay without warming things, please note i am very well read on TCM and went for warming foods that were still raw where possible, like grapes over bananas, etc etc, altho i did not abandon bananas, i just made sure to have them little and now and then, or if in excess only on sunny days or when my belly was warmed by tea!:D

as for fruits, i mostly rely on reduced items to afford them, so i go shopping a lot and basically my meals started to depend on whatever i could get, so i unintentionlly followed a rotation diet, which was probably A GOOD IDEA

in the last 6 weeks i had ROUGHLY

6 fairtrade pineapples [found normal ones too sweet and irritate my mouth, and organic are picked too early and unripe ewww] go easy on this cooling fruit, i mean eat it like crazy but not every day, i would go through a whole one in one sitting if my stomach was able to handle its cooling nature, please listen to your body but this is a special fruit

1 papaya [wasnt crazy on it, first time i tried it, i had been doing well tho and didnt wanna push my luck with the seeds, too many new foods is no good you must find a rythm and introduce new things slowly, because you will probably get sicker before you get well on a raw diet, do not lose heart i know it is so easy to believe you are acting like a mad person and that you need cooked food, and i do not say cooked is bad, merely i always overate when i was offered cooked food, like i couldnt get enough, and sometimes felt even more clogged and acidy and worse after it. i DO have the occasional cooked sweet potato and even offended recently on some rice and rice cakes. i find i can handle brown rice well if i make it BUT rice cakes always make the side of my nose hurt and give me breathing difficulties for sure.]

15 bananas, i always let them get very ripe, they jst dont appeal to me green.. see what works for you

many many ENGLISH apples, i think it is important not to go crazy on SUPERSWEET varieties from far away lands, i found they made me feel grubby and crave sweet things but english epsecially WILD english apples warmed me and made me content. stick to your own climate for the bulk of your fruits, but still enjoy the beautiful exotic ones

3 coconuts [go easy, chew well. i say always eat it with somethin else, its too heavy if your belly is swelled i think, you dont wanna get full on ONLY coconut.. plus i was forever hungry till recently cuz of parasites grr]

few italian pears [they were small so i could eat many as snacks and not feel guilty. in tcm these transform phlegm, very important if you have been overdoing tropical stuff or dairy, IF you buy into tcm which i do and dont, long story.

lemon slices with salads and such
i craved these like a madman but cannot afford them at organic price, i still want more tho might go get some tomorrow

grapes
tried to eat half a box a day, a couple of times a week
i ALWAYS wanted seeded even tho the seeds were bitter i loved it
i think the tannins in them has been ESSENTIAL
maybe the suc***s in my gut think theyre getting a TREAT
with the grapes, then they dont brace themselves and BOOM
HELLO TANNINS AND PAAAAINN [sorry that was close to sadistic.. im a BUDDHIST/TAOIST!]

i always got organic simply cos i cant be bothered to wash them, even tho i should and i dont ENTIRELY trust all organic sources but hey any port in a storm kids!
they are on offer in tesco for 1.74 right now go grab some if ur in the uk PLEASE
i believe these were essentiall

oh and i had quite a few walnuts too, shelled by myself, i found that pre shelled ones made me feel clogged and sticky and greasy and gummy and god knows what else, plus they seemed less powerful and were more bitter which isnt a good thing if theyre so bitter u wanna be sick!


there is loaaaads more, but i forget..
i had a lot of salads with GOOD quality olive oil [be careful what you buy]
and occasionaly "offended" with some "is it or isnt it raw?" sprouted bread
i even on a very bad detox day had some organic sourdough with a shedload of oil and goats cheese, it was like a drug, but in a good way but go easy on the ol' self medicatin kids!

i had occasional green tea DECAFFED BY MYSELF [find out how, im late already!:D]
and when i could force myself did some jeet kune do stuff and qigong, dont take yourself too seriously or worry what ppl think, you dance away like a crane- its good for ya!:D

other than that i occasionally felt like i was gonna die and needed fat, had quite a number of raw organic eggs, dont judge any reaction you have to them your bowels will flush out crazily anyway every now and then cos of the big turnaround in your life and diet, keep your mood up too! btw i had the eggs sometimes mixed with unpasteurised honey and a little cinammon

for those in UK who cant seek out raw honey, or even honey they can trust, well it should be solid at room temp! i got lied to by a local organic farm and had tubloads of pasteurised for months by the bucketload! BUMMER!
anyway for those in the uk as i was saying, you can get it from MORRISONS its from new zealand but as i say ANY PORT IN A STORM
go easy on it, as soon as i have it on its own i want more more more more more
i think im on the clover one now, its so nice, eat it with other things tho like as a homemade salad dressing with lemon juice and oil or ACV you know?

i had to limit dried fruit but still like my raisins, sun dried of course
watch out for those kinda fruits you can go mental on such as those big dates you get in the supermarket they are very concentrated foods and did me a mischief!
i also relied on the occasional miso soups to pull me through the day, wheat free you can get them in sachets in sainsburies they are non gmo by a company called sanchi and have seaweed in, but forgetthem just buy some seaweed avoid health stores try sainsburies or foreign supermarkets but research what yur buying if you can!

god there was so much more i know it!
oh yeah, i relied on sel marin unrefined Sea Salt now and then to curb Sugar cravings and ate quite a bit of sainsburies organic BABY leaf spinach, also some days i eat barely anything, and for these days i NEED tea just so i can busy my mind preparing something!
watch comedy too, im not gonna demonize TV today!
try frasier if youre a thinker, everybody loves ray if your family can be annoying and you wanna look on the bright side, or friends if you wanna feel cosy!

other than that i did binge on parmesan cheese [its the only one i even have a half decent chance of digesting without getting all mucousy but its SO CONCENTRATED and full off opiods which make you feel drugged and ultimately i believe worse, so i dont recommend it]
plus i had raw sheeps cheese which tasted good initially then i had a baaad reaction, never had it before rememmber what i said about introducing too much new stuff when you are not 100% it is important you let go of pride and admit when you need a rest and when you are not superhuman!

i also got sun dried olives from a bar in leeds market, theyr bitter but in the best way for me.

i hope i helped someone, somehow, and again my apologies for the length and disjointedness.
if anyone has any questions i will answer them tomorrow and from then on so long as people care and want my advice. no matter what you are told or who surrounds you in your life, know that we are all connected and you are not alone. anyone needing support will find themselves a welcome guest right here, and if nothing else i clarified mentally the last few months crazy events!

on a final note, i found i believed i was going to die several times when i had no choice but to eat all raw for the first time in my life [on holiday etc] it passed and i got better and better, but i think you should have that sweet potato with butter or that bit of rice if your tummy is crying, i really do. remember we have been cooking for a long time, even if it isnt optimal we can handle it, and its better surely than something youd get from KFC or whatever. please listen to your inner voice, dont follow the wants of your ego and your mind or believe youve gone crazy or super deficient in something. you can do this. i am not pushing the raw view on anyone, just that its something i kinda fell into and its been the catalyst in my purging

i wish you all to be happy and at peace,
lovingly,

Garry.
