Healing Diets

Question: Starting Maximized Living Healing Diet - help? I have decided that need to make changes in my diet and going organic and mostly raw. It is a HUGE change. Anyone have experience - good &/or bad? How much more expensive will it be than shopping at SuperTarget?

Answer: Changes in your diet take time, patience, and an open mind. Remember why you are making the change - determine your goals. I made a change for the better in my nutrition, and I'm never going back. Good nutrition, organicism, and raw foods does not have to be more expensive - consider all the packaging you'll be discarding. Stay on the perimeter of the supermarket - you'll encounter less pre-packaged food, better prices, and a much healthier nutritional lifestyle.

Question: What is the best cleansing or healing diet for allergies?

Answer: As with any medical condition, eating healthy, getting proper sleep, and exercising helps to build our immune system. Avoid what is causing your allergies (you don't say whether they are food or environmental or both). Be careful with cleanses and detoxification products. Even though they may claim to be all natural, that does not mean non allergenic. Most allergies are to natural things like foods and plants.

Now wht diet(fruits, vegetables etc) shud i take to increase the rate of healing of my skin. And if u have any additional advices, suggestions then u r welcome.

Question: Are there any foods I should add or remove from my diet to help speed up the process of healing a broken bone? I have stress fracture and was wondering if eliminating or adding certain foods to my diet will help speed recovery and promote bone healing. Thanks!

Answer: Eat foods that have lot of calcium content. Bananas are good. Better still, take these homeopathic medicines. They not only work fast but also heal fast. 1. Calcarea Phos 6x - 4 pills 4 times a day for 15 days 2. Symphytum 30 - 4 pills 4 times a day for a month Bones take a long time to heal. The broken area joins fast but the joint takes a long time to be firm and take the weight of the body. Allow the medicines to act on you and then you will be as good as you were before. All the best.

Question: Can i still workout with a healing rib tattoo? I already have the tattoo, but im going to have it outlined with the UV ink. Im heavily into a diet, and workout, and lifting plan. Would it be ok to still work out with the healing tattoo as long as i kept it moisturized? Thanks

Answer: Not a good idea if the tat is brand new. You should wait until the scabbing is over before you do any heavy exercising and have nothing rub on your tattoo as it's healing. After the scabbing is done then you can do some exercising but wash the tattoo and put some lotion on it after you wash it. You may want to call the shop if all else fails and ask your artist.

Question: I need info for an extremely healthy, healing diet.? I purged ( I did the castor oil, yes it is unbelievable) 24 hour then juiced for 24 hour (tons of ginger) then fasted 24 hours. today now I juiced and had some brown rice and vegetables What healthy way of eating should I now pursue starting now. ( I am a vegetarian so no meat) this all started for serious pain and it worked so I am willing to keep up with it I am looking for views opinions and information thanks. p.s. I am hungry still and it has been 1 hour since I ate the food. I ate a lot ??

Answer: You will feel hungry for awhile, but don't give in and eat too much, as you will upset your system. Some pro-biotics would be best, either good yogurt with active cultures, or kombucha tea, or similar. Lots of water to rehydrate yourself, of course. Not too much fruit at first. Get some good tofu and maybe some lower-salt miso soup--very good part of any diet. Also, focus on sprouts instead of lettuce (broccoli is great).

Question: Can a raw food diet heal crows feet? Can skin wrinkles be healed from the inside out, if enough of the essentials like anti-oxidants are ingested?

Answer: Depends on how bad they are and how old you are, and if you smoke, drink, do drugs, stay out in the sun..........and other questions like that. If you have crows feet, you might try some Palmers Cocoa Butter. Put a tiny dab on your fingers and rub them into the areas of the wrinkles for at least 6 months. Once before bed and once after you get up. This stuff is awesome at smoothing out scars and wrinkles. You can also go to the vitamin store and get specific vitamins for skin conditions like this. You might also look into using oatmeal/shea butter soap on your face, if you arent allergic to it.....it helps with dry skin and aging skin. None of this will work overnight, but after 6 months, you should see a difference.

Question: Have a broken knee cap and broken foot...how can I help speed up the healing process? I am out of work 4-6 weeks and have a position that I stand and walk around. How can I change my diet to help?

Answer: Do exactly what the Dr prescribes. He does this for a living and he has seen several issues like yours. They recommend what proves to help the most people. And STAY OFF OF IT. I recommend finding some really good books, and devoting some serious computer time.
