/Slow Train
Today I ate my lunch in nature. It was soothing and I am now returning to "life".
I feel strong, calm and centered.
It's been a while so this is what I've been eating today so far.
1 litre of filtered alkalised water with nettlepowder
0,75 litres of green smoothie (250 g spinach, 1/2 cucumber, parsley, water)
1 litre of filtered alkalised water with nettlepowder
1 large salad (150 g leafy greens, 3/4 cucumber, sesame seed sprouts and avocado) plus
1 small tomato/zuchini salad (with olives, olive oil, sea salt and sundried tomatoes)
It's now 2 pm and I'm soon having another litre of filtered alkalised water with nettlepowder.
Today sunshine earns my greatest gratitude award :)

DAY EIGHTYONE - visions of tomorrow

As I opened my eyes I saw before me the glade where the kids used to play. Now they had walked with their mother to the gardens to prepare lunch. It was close to noon and I was starting to feel hungry. The sun was sprinkleing thru the leaves of the treas and the air was warm. A soft gust of wind made the leaves dance and the spots from the sun wink at me as I looked up. Something moved in the tree, probably a bird. I sat there for a while just staring. And then I moved my eyes to the glade and the small houses made of clay and wood surrounding it. I looked at the people working, relaxing and playing. About 20 persons divided in 6 families lived there, with only the most necessary contact with society.
The glade was really a permaculture garden filled with eatables. Right next to the glade, to the south and west, where the biodynamic allotments and on the east side was the lake. North of the small settlement was the fruit forest. It was also a cultivated forest made up of fruit trees, bushes with berries and nut trees. A couple of hundred meters to the northwest was the well. Pure spring water that flowed from the base of the ridge that streched from northeast to the west. Further south the landscape was more hilly and rough. I sat there with my own thoughts and didn't hear them comming. Suddenly someone put their hands over my eyes. I shrugged from the sudden occurance and tried to turn around. The person behind me danced along as I swung my body back and forth a couple of times and then she started to laugh.

DAY FIFTYTHREE - do it right the first time!
thanks for the sunshine you bring to my life.
A few days ago I decided to listen in (again) on an outstanding webinar called "100 day challenge" with Gary Ryan Blair (from which my challenge originated, http://www.goalsguy.com/). I find some of the knowledge shared in that webinar very profound for me and thought I'd share it with you. This is the philosophy:
Do it right the first time is not about being perfect.
It's about changeing perspective and improving your performance.
So pay attention to your behavour - it never lies! Find out when/where flaws occur, work proactively to adress these flaws in your behaviour so quality performance can take place.
Why then?
Because failure is more expencive than quality. It costs having to do the job again. For me meaning to have to set up for a new 100 day challenge similar to this one. I want to improve and add on in the next one, not do it all over. So I'm implementing a new strategy:
T.N.T - Today, Not Tomorrow
When is the best time to start fresh? When is the best time to eat raw? When is the best time to improve my health? When is the best time to resolve a crisis?
The answer is given; today, not tomorrow. Simple and powerful. Also success attracts people and oppertunities which impacts life positively. Success allows for the expansion of options, and network. And success builds good reputation and credability. Doing it right the first time grows boldness and confidence which allows for greater action. Doing it right the first time demonstrates values that leads to success and inspires to take on greater challenges with supreme confidence and boldness. So (apart from T.N.T) I will:
1) Raise my standards
2) Implement best practices
3) Set challenging goals (done)
4) Make excellence a core value
To clearify point four I also have to include the wise words of a bloved friend on excellence.
"I think one of the things that has helped me in my life is learning the difference between Excellence and Perfection... Perfection is usually this mark that I can never reach but excellence... well, excellence is a worthy and achievable goal."
I like her words. They're so simple. So down to earth, they just jump into your heart and makes you realise the simplicity of it. Excellence is a n achievable goal, perfection is beyond reach.

FIFTY DAYS - 50% challenge and 100% HAPPYNESS
and congratulations to me. I have made it thru the first half of the game, or my 100 day Ultimate Health Challenge. Looking in the rear view mirror it have been an easy trip after all. I have had a few days with some cravings, thou I can count them on one hand. I have slipped once eating bread with margarine, and once eating a cookie. Both times I have failed to focus on why I'm doing this and have instead focused on the feeling of communion eating "ordinary" foods gives. Still after both sidesteps I have had no problem getting back on the waggon again, and I haven't beaten myself up about it. I feel strong in my new daily routines, even thou I do not get in bed in time and have been a bit lazy getting up in the mornings lately (after all it's vacation time). Still I do my routines and eat my divine raw food, and I L-O-V-E doing it!
Perhaps I should have been celebrating more today, yet I have been very grateful today, very loving and very hamonious. So I feel no need to party. Acctually had a dance party all by my self day 48 so that can be an early celebration. I had these enourmous feelings of love and gratitude comming over me I danced and I cried and I screamed. I had so much positive energy just wanting to come out. And I did let it out. :D
Today I'll be breef and post a blogpost I read on nutrition regarding kidney failure and baking soda. Here it is. Enjoy!
"New research by British scientists suggests pHour Salts - sodium bicarbonate - otherwise known as baking soda - can dramatically slow the progress of chronic kidney disease.
The simple household product used for baking, cleaning, bee stings and acid indigestion is so effective it could prevent patients having to be put on kidney machines, the results show.
Around three million people in the UK suffer from chronic kidney disease, which may have a number of causes.
The condition ranges in severity from a mild degree of poor functioning to complete kidney failure.
Seriously affected patients may have spend time each day on a dialysis machine which takes over the function of the kidneys.
An estimated 37,800 patients in the UK receive renal replacement therapy, which may involve dialysis or a kidney transplant.
The cost of looking after kidney failure patients soaks up 3% of the entire NHS budget. On average, every patient on dialysis costs the NHS £30,000 per year.
The pilot study conducted at the Royal London Hospital, Whitechapel, was the first controlled test of the treatment in a clinical setting.
According to Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of Research at the pH Miracle Living Center, "sodium and potassium bicarbonate with magnesium and calcium carbonate has shown positive affects in hyper-alkalizing the tissues and organs and thus reversing many acidic symptomologies such as kidney dysfunction."
The findings have been published in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology."

DAYS FORTYSEVEN AND FORTYEIGHT - what if everything we know about digestion is wrong?
most welcome to today. Today has great value. Today has the greatest value.
"Yesterday is a cancelled check; forget it.
Tomorrow is a promissory note; don't count on it.
Today is ready cash: USE IT!"
Be sure to spend it well. And be present!
I had a wonderful, free, outdoor, calm lunch today with Mother. Mother Nature that is. She gave me lunch at noon. Cherry leafs and cherries with wild strawberries (smultron in Sweden). It was delicious. I'm very grateful for her kindness and abundance. She even invited me to come tomorrow as well. I think I will. I'm very gratefull and filled with love today. Happy, happy, happy!
These last two days have been exciting in another way as well. Me and my great friend Pierre (http://rawild.wordpress.com/) just started a new community for rawfooders in Sweden and the Nordic countries. It's in swedish, yet norwegan and danish works fine as well. The basic idea of the community (GreenRoomSverige) is to bring rawfooders from Sweden and other Nordic contries togehter to stimulate growth and prosperity within the raw community. The aim is to create an island of union among rawfooders, a collage of knowledge for those interested in embarking on the raw journey and to share information on real life meetups/lectures/events. I have noticed, living alone with my rawness in a "cooked" environment, that feeling a spirit of togetherness is important. To be part of something. To share values, lifestyle and foods with others are as much a cultural as a social behavour. Several times I have strayed from eating raw foods towards "normal" foods just to realise I want to eat raw. Thinking about is afterwards I have several times concluded it was not because I wanted the food itself I ate it. I wanted a sence of communion. I wanted to feel unity with the people I surround myself with on a daily basis. It is true that who you spend time with is who you become. So then there are three options.
1/ change back (not an option really :) )
2/ change others (impossible, they have to change themselfs, thou you can lead the way)
3/ change your peer group ( whatever group of people that you care what they think about you and who you often spend time with).
So obviously option three is the best way, for this you can control. Yet it's hard to find alike people when it comes to raw food. Normally people don't wear T-shirts saying "I'm a rawfooder" (unfortunately - there should be a "law" :D ) And from the number of rawfooders in Sweden (outside the big cities) you probably would be alone waering that shirt anyway. So GreenRoomSvergie is a way to connect people in Swden and the Nordic countries. To creat new peers, new relationships and a feelings of belonging and unity.

Well, enough about that. Now let's take a look at the head line:
"What if everything we know about digestion is wrong?"
This is taken from the teachings of "the New Biology" by dr. Robert O. Young. A microbiologist who have devoted his life to health and nutrition and a new understanding of the human organism. He has done extencive blood tests - dry and live - studying the effects certain foods have on our blood and what dis-ease and health looks like in the blood for the last two decades. He strongly advocates the delicate alkaline/acid balance of the body and how disturbances in this balance leads to sickness and dis-ease. Among his theories is a rebellian view of what the function of the stomach is. Dr Young's theory is that the stomach is not an organ of digestion but an organ of alkalinity. It's main task is to produce sodium bicarbonate (NaCOH3) in order to alkalise the foods ingested. The fact that the stomach should be acidic and contain hydrochloric acid or HCL to digest food
"is one of the biggest scientific misconceptions ever. First, the stomach is NOT and organ of digestion. Most so-called digestion starts in the mouth. That's why your mom said to chew your food. The stomach is an organ that alkalizes the food and liquids that you eat. The stomach cells, called the cover cells, secrete sodium bicarbonate onto the ingested food and drink to alkalize the food, not to digest the food. For every molecule of sodium bicarbonate produced by the stomach for alkalizing, a molecule of hydrochloric acid is produced as a waste product. Hydrochloric acid or HCL never touches the food or drink but falls into the gastric pits of the stomach away from the food and drink as the sodium bicarbonate rises to the top to alkalize the food and/or liquids ingested. This is necessary in order to prepare the food in an alkaline state for the duodenum and the small intestine where the liquid food is then biologically transformed into stem cells. There is NO part of the alimentary canal that does not secret sodium bicarbonate for alkalizing. In conclusion, the stomach is an organ of contribution and alkalizing, not a digestive organ as medical savants would have us believe."
I stongly recomend you to take about 70 minutes of your time to invesigate more closely the human organism and "the New Biology". Please do. there is a great lecture on the subject, by dr. young here or go to youtube and search for Robert Young Omaha. It's a seven part lecture, be sure to watch them all (each is about 10 minutes so you don't have to watch them all at the same time.)
