The link of diet and disease

I was watching some stuff about Jack Lalanne (who's amazing btw) and he says eating raw, healthy and exercising is why he's so old, healthy and looks so young. He doesn't eat anything that's processed at all. He said "you wouldn't put dirty gas into your car because eventually it'll start breaking, same thing goes with humans"

So I started reading lately all sorts of success stories about people change their diet to raw foods only (foods that are alive, veggies, fruit, nuts, sprouted grains). They claim that these are the foods man is meant to eat and that meat and other "dead" processed foods are not meant for eating. Now a lot of these people report that many, if not all of their chronic illnesses go away.

Now this got me thinking, we are all descended from monkeys or something so we ought to have similar eating habits right? Monkeys eat only fruits, plants nuts and seeds.

So I thought, how much disease and health problems are there for monkeys? Because everyone around me is dropping like flies with some disease.
My friends brother who's 27 and just got a kid was diagnosed with a brain tumor which he'll probably die from and almost everybody dies from cancer these days or some other disease.

Don't turn this into another if we are designed to eat meat or not thread, but the links of nutrition and disease.

Day 3 out of 5 of colon cleanse fast

Ok so I bought this colon cleanse kit for 100 bucks at www.blessedherbs.com and uhm, I've been doing the program now for 6 days. It requires you to do 5 day fast, meaning you can't eat anything except water or apple juice only. I went water only.

It's definitely difficult fasting but now seeing the gloop that's coming out of me makes it worth it. My gut feels so awesome right now it's hard describe, I feel almost euphoric down there and I feel so EMPTY and CLEAN it's awesome.

Anywho a lot of people report significantly improved skin complexion etc after doing this among other sweet health benefits. So this is the first stuff that has come out and I'm in no doubt a lot more will come out in the next 2 days.

So here are pictures, click at own risk. But remember this is not "poop" per se, it's stuff that has been trapped in my intestines probably for years. Also a lot of white stuff came out which I believe is candida yeast. I poked this stuff and some of it was so hard it felt like plastic and the other stuff like poking a sponge. Also you can see how it sticks together and has a sort of shiny coat over it keeping it together.

Dim users, how dry is your skin?

I've gone through a whole bottle and along with a healthy green diet it has _totally_ stopped all oil on my face but I'm so dry and flaky!

My face has also gotten a lot better acne and redness wise but whether it's due to dim or my healthy lifestyle I can't be sure.

But anyway I tried stopping the dim for 2 days because I'm always flaky due to dryness and I don't like loading up on moisturizers all day and I had a small break out from quitting!

Now I'm wondering did u dim peeps ever get a breakout after quitting dim and also how dry is your skin on it? I've cut my dosage by half but I'm still dry, but not as dry..

Making your own Kefir

So I live in Iceland and I haven't found anyone that sells Kefir grains.

I was thinking of buying it from Amazon and this package looked okay

http://www.amazon.com/Kefir-Grains-Starter...2959&sr=8-2

"These Kefir grains are real grains, passed from one person to another, unlike the pre-packaged kefir starters, such as Helios or Body Ecology, that you may find on other sites or selling in stores."

what this said worried me though lol, will I be getting grains that someone else has been using? Also whats wrong with pre-packaged Kefir?

Peace

Need help with Candida products

Ok, basically what I really wish is someone who'd list the best supplements to take to kill candida.

Right now I'm not eating any carbs, which I was only doing because I'm cutting down for bodybuilding. But now realize it's one of the reasons why my face has been feeling so good lately.

I'm also taking olive leaf or what ever it's called.

What I need is a name of some good pro biotic supplement, preferably in pill form since I have to order it online and other recommendations about what to eat along with this, like pau d'arco or something?

below I'm also gonna write why I think I have candida


I have seborrhea dermatitis which is basically a facial yeast infection (yay!)

I've had eczemas at some place on my body almost my whole life. I used to have this red itchy eczema in my elbow and knee pits. It got really severe at one point.

I regularly get this eczema breakout on my hands

Around four years ago which was around the time I got the SD and acne I had this abdominal issue for over a year. I didn't poop for like 7 days and then basically it built up and I sat on the toilet for 3-4 hours at a time shitting a weeks worth of accumilated poop. (wow my body sounds superb, right? biggrin.gif)

I very often get dry eyes

A lot of food breaks me out

My facial skin doesn't look normal, it looks sort of sick and it's never balanced. It's always either too dry, too oily, too red, too flaky.

What do you guys think?
