This letter is from Charles. Dr. Flora's comments are in italics:

I am sitting on the floor hysterical crying and ready to give up on life. I have MS for 6 years and just recently had a bad flare-up. My entire left side of my body from head to toe is numb and extremely weak. I also have numbness in my right hand but not as bad as my left. I was diagnosed in 2001, presenting with dizziness and vertigo. I never went on the drugs and went on a vegan diet. I did well for 5 years and then in '05 took a stressful job and started eating junk.

Stress is a mess on your body when you don't have rejuvelac and veggikraut, dulse and seed and nut cheeses to feed you the b-complex vitamins.

I had my second flare-up that year which was severe optic nueritis in the right eye. Till this day it never cleared up. My left eye is fine but my right eye only has 20/400 vision. So I then tried a raw meat diet called the primal diet because I thought that it would enhance my nerve re-building. The creator of this diet strongly advocates raw egg for the vitamin A/D content. I had a raw egg and here I am.... a mess... I am obviously allergic to eggs.

I don't know if you had an organic egg or not, but it's still animal protein which cultures bacteria, viruses and parasites, and I suggest strongly that you get a copy of Dr. Hulda Clark's book, "The Cure for All Diseases" to give you an idea of what's going on. She is moving closer to veganism every day, it seems, since that book was written.

To me, the most awful and dangerous food you can eat for the rest of your life is dairy, in all forms: even a tiny bit of the casein (a protein) triggers an immune response that makes every part of your body respond in defense and just wears you out, dear.

You should be proud of yourself that you are searching and that God has chosen you to have such a strong body that you can overcome all of this pain and suffering if you just remember that pathogens grow in our bodies in cooked foods and that our bodies need food with electric current (no cooked food, oil, canned, fried, etc. will carry an electric current), or old (older than 1 hour after being processed: i.e. blended, or juiced) raw food either.

I would encourage you to use some energy soup: 1/2 a blender of watermelon or organic papaya or apples blended with 1 tablespoon of soaked dulse leaf (a purple seaweed that contains every mineral and trace mineral that exists plus B12) and flax seeds (for the EFAs), and 1 package or 2 packed cups of organic dark green leafy greens, mixed with parsley, dandelion (no spinach), half a dozen figs that are raw or reconstituted, and pour the blend into a bowl and dice 1/4th (2 ounces) of a small avocado in the am and 12 soaked overnight, rinsed and blended organic almonds in the p.m.

Eat this as often as you wish, chewing every mouthful 30 times at least before you swallow it, and think only about the wonderful food that is sharing it's energy with you.

Look at CRM@PCRM.com">PCRM@PCRM.com and learn that 5,000 plus medical doctors have become vegan and are moving closer to raw every day, Later on, when you are well, you will be able to do the Coco pulse test to determine what you are allergic to [see "Eating Raw and Food Allergies - Dr. Flora Responds" (above) for a description of this test]. The energy soup will give you all of the nutrients you need for now.

Your body has been through some terrible stress. You need to rest and know that it will heal itself. In the future, you will be a great leader when you heal yourself and share this information with others. Please contact Jim and Stephen (jcarey@chiDiet.com and [withheld]).

Can you give me some in-depth advice??

Charles

Men who have been through this will come out of the wall, so to speak, to help you. We are praying for you.

You can do it, Charles. Not one bite of bread or mayo from now on. No animal protein for now.

James,

Will I be able to eat raw to get enough vitamins and minerals for my body if I am allergic to raw apples, peaches, plums, cherries, berries, black grapes, star fruit, kiwi, pomegranate, soy, rye, certain nuts, etc., etc.???

I just don't have many foods that I am able to eat raw. If processed for some reason in one way or another I can eat some of the above, but this is hard and I seem to lose foods more and more as time goes on.

Can anyone there help direct me to someone who can answer these questions? I am 50 years old and fasting a lot, too, in hopes of ridding my body of toxins.

What to do? Thanks.

Who tested you and found that you are allergic to those? What kinds of symptoms do you have when you eat them? What kind of nuts, and are they soaked before you have tried to eat them? Were the grapes, peaches, apples, etc. organic? Are you familiar with food-blood type issues?

I can't eat any of the most polluted with pesticides and insecticides foods, because of the reaction to the sprays or even the solvents that they spray on the rollers that bring the fruits and vegetables to the boxes. I reacted violently the other day to something that was rolled to packaging and had to investigate and found that the rollers on the machine had been sprayed with teflon. Petroleum biproducts are the worst stuff. Kills canaries and kills us! And yet, they still sell teflon pans and teflon coated ironing boards and irons.

I just don't have many foods that I am able to eat raw.

I would quote from someone else that 80% of raw foods will give people trouble with 'allergic reactions' if they are not prepared properly. For me to try to eat cabbage, carrots or beets without autolyzing them first by making them into sauerkraut/veggikraut, I will get bloated/distended abdomen/have pain/gas/reflux, etc. If I eat Ranier cherries that are not organic, I will have terrible pains in my body. Star fruit and kiwi are too acid for me, and rye has a certain mold that is very dangerous.

All these reasons are why Dr. Wigmore stuck with the foods that were non-reactive, non-allergenic, like most greens (not spinach, watercress), and watermelon and apples, papaya and most organic fruits, non-citrus.

Once you have a peaceful inside, with just half a dozen items in a blended form, figs, almonds, flax seeds soaked, greens, sesame/sunflower seed cheese, dulse, kelp, mangos, papaya, home-ripened pineapple juice, you will then be able to add one new food (usually one of your favorites that you reacted to earlier), and using something called the Coco pulse test, see if your heart pulse rate increases by 15-18 beats per minute and if it does, this is not a good food for you.

If processed for some reason in one way or another I can eat some of the above, but this is hard and I seem to lose foods more and more as time goes on.

My bottom line is energy, that's why I eat Energy Soup and that is why a lot of people do. I don't require much variety and make it the same way most all of the time, with just a few various greens, and watermelon or apples (I prefer Gala).

Have you read any of Dr. Sherri Rogers' books on allergies? It sounds as if you are so toxic that you are approaching what she calls universal allergic reactions.

Can anyone there help direct me to someone who can answer these questions? I am 50 years old and fasting a lot too in hopes of ridding my body of toxins.

At your age, I wouldn't suggest fasting with water. If you do a blender drink 'fast' you will not only eliminate the toxins, but keep your strength up and rebuild nerves, etc.

I of course recommend a vegan diet to keep your body from having to deal with inflammatory foods/chemicals/enzymes, and also for the time being, avoid totally the nightshades and check back with us in 3 or 4 weeks. You should feel great.

Peace and Love,
Flora
