Is it possible to “detox” old emotions?

2013-04-17T11:23:18.000Z

I am wondering if it is possible to experience detox-like symptoms in regards to old emotions. Consider someone who is recovered from past emotional hardship, now a happy and emotionally stable fruit eater who is able to effectively negotiate the stresses of their lifestyle: if said person still experiences unexplained periods of anxiety, etc. could this possibly be a pouring out of old emotions that have not yet been dealt with? Just as the lymphatic system flushes toxins through sweat during exercise, could the reptilian memory flush out negative emotions following strenuous mental/physical activity?

I think I saw somewhere that Rozi Graham is delivering a lecture on healing emotions on 80/10/10 at the fruit festival in Denmark. I would love to hear it, but I am unfortunately unable to attend at that time. Are there any YouTube lectures or books out there about this?

Please tell me your thoughts. If you would like more information, please personal message me.

Thanks!

Help with OCD? (obsessive-compulsive disorder)

2012-12-08T17:04:41.000Z

I hope it's ok that I posted my question here. If not, please let me know. Thanks.

This question is regarding OCD (obsessive-compulisive disorder) -- however, general type OCD, I'm NOT referrring to compulsions/obsessions around food.

I've heard someone say gluten-free was helpful in improving compulsive thoughts, and I wondered if anyone here following 80/10/10 had even better results.

If you yourself or someone you know has noticed an improvement, will you please share?

(ie, were they 100% raw, 80/10/10?, what improvements, how long, etc.)

Thank you very much.

Eating Raw Allows Me More Compassion and Caring in My Relationships

2012-11-14T22:01:49.000Z

I always feel when I'm eating completely raw more balanced, happy, peaceful and more willing to care about others, in general.

When I don't eat high carb low fat raw, I tend to not feel as good, and no matter how "selfish" it is, I don't care about or care for hanging around other people. Before raw, I considered my relationships more as a nuisance than a gift. Balancing avoiding them and connecting just enough was key.

After being raw I feel truly nourished and I do not feel strained for my energy and love in my relationships.

Why I am posting about this in the mental health section is that for a LONG TIME I believed my problems for not wanting to be around people was because of my mother, who was emotionally draning and abusive while I was growing up. However, when I'm completely raw, while my past is still important, I don't care to dwell in it, hence the lack of need for superior therapeutic counseling intervention.

Some people believe that we should be happy grateful and gracious to others no matter what our diet. But to me, emotional resistance to relationships is a sign of not meeting physiological needs. Advocating for beautiful relationships without taking care of one's physical self is unsustainable. And while others may never know the effects of high carb raw, I do now and I'm quite a stickler for it. I can't imagine going any other way long term in the sense that I now know what it feels like to take full care of myself and denying myself that means that I will feel resistant to giving my all to anyone else.

My relationships depend upon my happiness and willingness/openness to care and share. When I'm struggling to feel good myself and struggling for my own needs, I don't give a **** about other people. Sure, I could pass through with a fake smile and laugh while listening to other people, but I do not fully engage. Perhaps my past of emotionally caring for my adult mother as a child makes me much more sensitive to my own needs being threatened, but I actually count this as a blessing, as when I DO meet my own needs for FRUIT carbs, sleep, exercise, and water, I find myself being an incredibly gracious, generous, joyful person.
