Many of dieters out there are trying this kind of diet. What is it, actually?
What are the advantages and disadvantages? How to do it?Let me help you get all
the answers in the following detailed explanations about raw food diet before
you decide to apply it:? What is Raw Food Diet?Raw food diet is a diet composed
mainly or entirely of raw and living foods. These foods include mostly raw vegan
food, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.The raw foodists can consume
any foods which have not been cooked, frozen, or treated with chemical
preservatives.There are 3 types of raw foodists:1. Living foodists, who eat a
diet made up of plant food in active form, such as sprouted nuts and seeds.2.
Juicarians, who eat a diet made up entirely of juices.3. Raw foodists who are
not vegetarians, and therefore eat raw meats and unpasteurized milk? How to
Start a Raw Food Diet?Going on a raw food diet can be similar to detoxifying
your body, and there can be some side effects. So when considering the raw food
diet, you should start slowly, with one or more raw meals per day, and one or
more meals with a raw main dish and a small cooked side dish. This can be easier
on your body as well as your habits.? Where to Find the Foods?The best kind of
raw food is organic food. Organic foods are now available in a wide variety of
products, not just fruits but even cookies.While organic foods can be more
expensive then regular foods, they can also be more convenient, as there are
many companies starting in cities that will actually deliver organic fruits and
vegetables to your front door.? What Are The Advantages?Many raw foodists choose
the diet because they believe that cooking, freezing or otherwise processing
foods can destroy vitamins, bacteria, and enzymes. They also believe that
cooking food makes food harder to digest, partially due to destroying enzymes
which are acting as catalysts in the digestion of food.Raw foods contain less
chemicals and preservatives, which are not natural in foods. Raw food is also
less toxic and more easily digested, while containing more vitamins and minerals
than processed foods.The raw foodists also believe that the diet can improve
health, lower risk of heart disease (because of a diet low in trans-fats),
improve digestion, improve skin appearance, and increase the energy levels.?
What Are The Disadvantages?An important concern in a raw food diet is the lack
of animal proteins. One needs to get all the essential amino acids.To fulfill
all the nutrition and avoid deficiencies in protein and vitamin B12, a raw
foodist might need some nutritional supplements.So, after you find out all you
need to know about raw food diet, are you ready to start one now?About the

- Anyone can become enraged once in a while. But if you feel rage boiling
within almost constantly, or rage erupts from you frequently, you may have an
organic illness.On the other hand, you might have suffered some terrible
injustice as a child.One major, but largely ignored, category of such abuse is
that of boys emotionally, physically, or sexually damaged by women.This abuse is
not only widespread but may be at the root of much subsequent abuse of women by
men.A little boy abused by a woman suffers in similar ways to a little girl
abused by a man.In recent times it has become acceptable for women to speak out
about the abuse they suffered as children; most men feel no such permission is
given to them about the abuse they suffered as little boys at the hands of
women. These men are ashamed, and enraged.They are enraged because society
accepts that men can be angry but there is less acceptance for the male victims'
feelings of hurt, fear, inadequacy, guilt, embarrassment, and especially
weakness and vulnerability.A male victim smothers these emotions with anger. In
this way, he preserves his masculine image. But the cost is enormous.A man
unaware of the deep sources of his anger will, at the least, have troubled
relationships with women; at the worst, he may rape and mutilate.A male victim
of childhood sexual abuse by women displays the following behavior as an
adult:>> Distrust of women. >> Fear of intimacy. >> No separate identity. >>
Readily feels guilt. >> Hard time to accept compliments. >> Holds back emotions.
>> Protects abuser(s). >> Sexual difficulties. >> Seeks abuser's approval. >>
Constantly apologises. >> Fearful. >> Eager to care for others. >> Joyless.
(Adapted from Blanchard, 1987*)The lousy feelings often erupt as rage. Ronald
sought professional help to change his vicious behavior toward his wife,
Helen.Ronald would arrive home disgruntled after a disappointing day (every day
was disappointing) in the architectural office where he worked, and an hour's
drive to the suburb.Before long, he would be kicking Helen. There was always
some pretext for the kicks. (Helen did not have supper ready, or she was on the
phone, or she wore a dress he hated...). Ronald never used his fists. Always his
legs. He despaired of his uncontrollable rage because he believed that ?Helen
was the best thing that had ever happened to me.?As Ronald talked more about his
life, his hostility to almost everyone became evident. He was jealous of his
brothers, sneered at their choices of wives, hated his job where he felt put
upon, especially by female colleagues.When Ronald spoke about his mother, he
whined. Long stories of how she favored one or other of his brothers, how he
cringed in her presence, how he avoided visits to her house yet was jealous of
her contacts with his siblings. Ronald was convinced his mother preferred one of
his nephews, adding bitterly, ?Though my son was the first
grandchild.?Hypnotherapy Heals the Hurt and the RageWithin the comfort of
hypnosis Ronald was able to connect his present-day woes with unpleasant
incidents in his childhood.This was accomplished with what hypnotherapists call
an ?affect link.? You allow yourself to feel a particular emotion, such as
grief. As you continue to experience the feeling, the hypnotherapist asks you to
recall an earlier time when you felt the same way. Ronald's confused mix of
bitterness, rage and sense of abandonment, swiftly drew up a memory of his
mother:?I'm six years old. Mummy keeps telling me I'm her favorite. She tells me
to come into her bed. It's warm there. I fall asleep, snuggled beside her. I
wake up. She's moving my leg up and down over this hairy place between her legs.
She's breathing funny. I'm scared. [Sobs]. She opens her eyes a little and tells
me it's okay. My knee is wet. I try to pull away but she holds onto me, tells me
to be a good boy, do this for Mummy. She seems out of breath. I'm scared. Then
she shakes and cries out. I'm even more scared and I feel bad, like something's
really wrong. I ask Mummy if she's all right. She turns to me with a big smile,
hugs me and says I'm her little man and everything is fine. [More sobs,
reddening of face].?But everything is not fine. I don't understand. Mummy tells
me this will be our special secret. She seems happy. And she likes me best. So I
keep quiet. And whenever she asks me I let her use my leg to rub her where she
wants. [Later Ronald described other sexual activity his mother initiated]. I
begin to like it, too. When I get old enough to have an erection, Mummy plays
with my penis. I really like that. But at the same time it feels kind of weird.
This stuff went on till I was eleven. I found out at school what sex was
supposed to be, and how bad it was what Mummy and me had been doing. I felt
sick.?With psychotherapy while he relaxed in hypnosis, Ronald made some progress
toward a healthier life, and control of his rage.Unfortunately, his wife
sabotaged the treatment. Ronald, like many sexually abused victims, had
(unconsciously) sought out a woman who would continue the abuse he had suffered
as a child.Helen had made no secret of her broad sexual experience prior to
meeting Ronald; indeed, she was proud of it. But her knowledge of the carnal
world and his relative innocence (sex with only one woman: his mother) repeated
the power pattern Ronald had suffered as a boy.When Helen saw that Ronald was
learning to control his rage, to lessen his hostile attitude and to relax, she
counterattacked. Helen had married Ronald because (unconsciously) she wanted a
man she could dominate and despise. His therapy threatened to upset the delicate
dance of danger they had created.Ronald was swiftly reduced to a sniveling,
angry puppet when Helen sneered at his progress and repeatedly reminded him of
what a Mummy's boy he had been.A final blow bounced Ronald out of therapy: Helen
telephoned the therapist, discussed Ronald's history, and insisted the therapist
not mention her call to Ronald. The following week Helen casually mentioned to
Ronald something the therapist had said to her. Ronald felt betrayed [he was]
and never returned to therapy.You may be doing very well with hypnotherapy when
a friend or relative sabotages your progress. This is not usually as dramatic or
underhanded as Helen's behavior. The disruption comes in the form of doubt. Your
friend may question the effectiveness of hypnosis, and cite the many hypnosis
myths that still pollute our minds.Once doubt is planted, hypnosis ends. Doubt
and fear keep us from relaxation. And relaxation is the route into
hypnotherapy.Dennis, like Ronald, suffered fits of rage. Unlike Ronald, Dennis
took these fits out on himself. He would tremble, and shake, and sweat and fear
he was about to pass out. Dennis knew his ambition to become a police officer
would never be realized unless he got over these fits. Like Ronald, he had
troubled relationships with women.Unlike Ronald, Dennis had slept with dozens of
women. All his longer-term relationships collapsed over an aspect of jealousy,
his or hers. Didn't matter. Dennis could not trust a woman.Dennis deliberately
sought out a male psychotherapist who sometimes used hypnosis. But so scared was
Dennis of going into hypnosis, that he spent several sessions in traditional
psychotherapy before he had plucked up enough courage to try hypnosis.Mothers
Are Not The Only Women Who Abuse Little BoysAs far as Dennis knew, he had not
been molested by his mother. Actually, he was not even sure who his biological
mother was. He had been born into a large, extended criminal family. He had
lived in seven different homes by the time he was five. All but one were homes
of his aunts, cousins or siblings. He got used to calling each aunt in turn
?mother.? The woman listed on his birth certificate showed no more, and no less,
maternal interest in Dennis than did any of her sisters who raised him.From as
far back as he could remember, Dennis had been abused: abandoned, ignored,
ill-fed, beaten, locked in a closet.The therapist helped Dennis sort out the
multitude of feelings that swirled within him.Finally, Dennis said he was ready
to try hypnosis. He was still frightened, despite the therapist's explanations
about the safety of the process. But it was not hypnosis itself that Dennis
feared; it was what might be uncovered.In one way, he was right to be wary. But
what was uncovered, awful as it was, freed Dennis from the last symbolic chains
that linked him to his abusive family and their criminal ways.In hypnosis,
Dennis traced his attacks of trembling to some disgusting sexual behavior of one
of his aunts when he was about four. What she had done to him and with him
amounted to torture. It had been so horrible he had repressed the details for
years, though ?I knew something had happened; I just didn't know what.?Now that
he knew what lay at the root of his rage and his attacks, Dennis was able to let
go of them. He felt forgiveness for his aunt because he knew of her own dreadful
background. It was as if to know what she had done liberated Dennis from any
lingering loyalty to his criminal relatives (all of whom were involved in drug
deals, prostitution, extortion, etc.).Now Dennis felt fully comfortable with his
decision to apply to the local police training college.*Blanchard, Geral.
