Simple Raw and Natural

Diet is an important part of the simple, natural lifestyle.  Many of the Natural Hygienists that have gone before us have experimented with diet to find what is optimal for us.  Dr. Fielder, my mentor, uses some animal products including some raw goat's cheese and meat, but his diet is primarily raw vegan.  My own diet is mostly raw vegan with honey and raw milk cheese included.  The diet Dr. Fielder recommends is 50% fruit, 35% vegetables, 10% starches, and 5% concentrates.  Food should be eaten without a lot of seasonings or condiments so that we can enjoy the taste of the foods themselves.  Condiments mask the flavor of the food.  Once we give up the cooking and the seasonings our bodies will be able to tell us which foods they need. Fruits and vegetables are superior to animal foods.  Developing better agriculture methods and building up the soil are noble vocations.  Raw foods are superior to cooked foods.  We will be better off i...

I have lost my thermometer.  I hope the puppy didn't get it.  I like to take my temperature so that I will know when my body is ready to undertake a fast.  Elective fasting is not something we advocate.  It's best to continue with the normal routines of the simple, natural lifestyle until a fever develops.  That will be the time to fast, because the body will have built up enough vitality to start a cleanse. There was no sunbath today.  Temperature was in the 60's, cloudy, rainy and stormy.  There should be some sunbaths in the near future, though, which is exciting. The view on my walk this morning.  It was cloudy and wet, but nice! The view on the mountain this morning.  Our back yard. It's good to sleep with the window open.  Fresh air is one of the principles of the simple, natural lifestyle.  We are at the time of year now when the window should be able to be open most nights. 40 degrees is my cut-off poin...

I have toyed with the idea of trying some alternative healing methods regarding the facial spasms, even as late as last night.  But this morning I woke with a new resolve to trust the process of the natural lifestyle as being enough.  Anything more than enough is too much!  I just want to do my simple, natural lifestyle without any alternatives. Last night we had dinner with two other sweet couples at Park Island Market and Cafe...one of my favorite places!  They offer local, organic food in a friendly atmosphere.  I had the salad with greens and fruit.  So good.  Here is a link to their Facebook page.. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Park-Island-Market-and-Cafe/486350848079140 Molly and me at our roadside picnic. I am studying about The Laws of Life in my Lifestyle Consultant's Course in Natural Living.... The principles and practices of Natural Hygiene harmonize with the laws of Nature.  The things that preserve our health are the sam...

Day 57 on All Raw Biogenic Living: We arrived home shortly after midnight after driving all day from Cocoa Beach, FL to Hot Springs Village, AR.  We had a few days of spring break vacation with our daughter, grand-daughter, and her friend.  I was able to eat all raw foods, but I wouldn't call the trip biogenic living.  Even though Disney World was too noisy, I got sunburned, and we stayed up past midnight, it was worth it to experience this trip with these precious ones.   At Cocoa Beach we shopped until we dropped, and I got sunburned even more, but again it was worth it  We decided to drive straight through coming home rather than spend the night in another motel,  so we drove about 17 hours and arrived at home shortly after midnight.  Maybe I won't ever travel again.  At least until we leave for California next Wednesday.  Our little dog, Lucy, made the trip with us.  She is exhausted today, too. We ate our picnic lunch at a res...

When you receive messages from two different sources within five minutes of each other do you stop and listen?  That happened to me recently. The message was, "The Lord will provide".  It is true.  Our job is to stay in harmony so we can hear what's being given to us.  Be still and KNOW.  That's what the biogenic lifestyle is all about.  It meshes perfectly with my faith.  It separates us from what is false and brings us face to face with what is real and lasting.  I am happy that this is my path.  I love my life...twitches and all.  The truth is comforting.  Anything that causes fear to rise up in you is FALSE, no matter who says it. It is important that we learn the techniques of a healthy life and the practices that prevent illness.  90% of the population is sick and having their lives shortened. We can help ourselves by taking charge of our own well-being by doing a few simple things.  Here is a partial list. 1. ...

I am living every day at my personal All Raw Biogenic Living Health Spa right here in my own home. It is going well, and it feels right to be settled into these simple practices and eating my simple foods. Things seem to be coming together regarding my facial spasms.  For some reason, I had failed to make the connection between the spasms and a head injury I suffered back in June.  One morning last week, it suddenly dawned on me that the twitches started soon after the accident.   Last June, I was in London with my grandson, my sister, and a friend.  As we were getting on the tube one afternoon, my friend got on in front of me and my grandson was behind me.  As I stepped onto the subway the door shut and hit me on both sides of my body and face.  This knocked me backwards and I fell flat on my back on the platform with my foot caught in the subway door.  I was screaming and trying to pull my foot free, but it was caught. Thank God, suddenly the ...
