Wow! What a story. One of the coolest points T. brings out is how easy it is to go Raw when a person is deeply nourished. Here you go. Enjoy! _______ T. in San Antonio wrote: David Favor, You requested that I email my mineral story so that the journey can inspire others. As you know words never quite live up the actual experience of a true journey but here's a few things I can say. My angstrom mineral adventure began few months ago following David Wolfe's talk in Austin and his Wild-About-Raw-Retreat later that weekend at Fossil Rim at Glen Rose. It just so happens I began the mineral program in combination with a four-week Ejuva cleanse. The cleanse was something I had been considering for awhile and so.... riding on a wave of energetics from David Wolfe's talk and raw retreat I purchased the Ejuva kit (and some goji berries, bee pollen and coconut butter for emergency backup) and leaped headlong into the unknown. I also decided to start the basic mineral program simultaneously. As it turns out starting the minerals along with the cleanse was a good decision. Thinking in retrospect the cleanse gave my body a chance to really notice and absorb the minerals. Almost immediately I recognized an increasing sense of physical awareness, like the sensation I get when I find something that has been lost for a long time, in the teeth, jaw, mouth, face and eyes. It also seems that eating 95 percent raw during the preceding year was beneficial as the more subtle effects and sensations of the minerals are much easier to recognize. My body has a more natural sense of itself now and would naturally rejects anything less than the highest quality living foods. For example, a week ago I took a single sip from a can of commercial fruit juice and wasn't able get loose the unnatural sugar taste for several hours. During the first couple of weeks after beginning the minerals some symptoms were slightly unpleasant i.e. watery eyes, very slight nasal drip and mild headaches --all of which it seem are a natural consequence of detox and flushing but certainly nothing worse was felt that the average person doesn't experience in the form of a single seasonal cold or flu symptom. All these slight symptoms disappeared after the first few weeks or doses. But the best thing about these minerals are the amazing results and the simultaneous experiences in daily life. As I have said my body awareness at times appeared to increase 1000 percent --and this has INCREASED in frequency. Last Saturday morning for example, after taking the full compliment of minerals in combination with fresh coconut water, I reached a level of hightened sensation in my skull, arms, hands, fingers, legs and feet that I have never felt before. As if I were coming into direct contact with those organs for the first time ever. Other sensations: sense of smell increased, hearing acute, less sleep, sustained energy, less hunger. I am only guessing because this is all new to me but this is a level of sensation and experience that I imagine we as humans are meant to enjoy! Equally exciting are the unexpected, positive changes of direction that seem to be occurring in my life. Here are just a few noticeable coincidences: new ideas, yoga practice and flexibility improved, feldenkrais work deepened, began network spinal analysis program, meditation deepened, began Jungian dream analysis course, began uropathy therapy, expanded business. Finally and perhaps best of all: Now 100% Raw. And it was EASY using the minerals to help take that last step! For me the final hurdle in going 100 percent raw was giving up that one last cooked indian food meal I was eating each week --my favorite. That was BEFORE the minerals. Now I'm FREE. You might also like to know that I started the angstrom minerals gradually and still experienced the results I have described. I started with less minerals than are in the basic program and worked my way up as the minerals "proved" themselves to me through my own experiences. Now I am two months into the program, experimenting, and find there seems to be no end in sight to how good I can feel using these minerals and being 100 percent raw. Yes, Extreme Raw Health does Rock!
