Headaches, depression, digestive issues, lack of energy, and eventually
unprovoked anxiety/panic attacks. This was the norm for me for most of
my life. I ate a standard diet including fast food with meat always
being the whether going out or cooking at home.
</p>
<p>
Eventually I became lactose intolerant due to antibiotics but that was
only a minor inconvenience, and did not always stop me from consuming
things anyways. I had tried the pills which are supposed to help but
didn't notice any difference. This didn't phase my diet though, just
had to ask for "no cheese" and stop drinking milkshakes.
</p>
<p>
What finally hit me hard enough to start changing things was the panic
attacks and an itchy mole that had to be surgically removed. By this point
in my early 20s I was already plenty skeptical of things like organized
religion and businesses profitting off of people, but it started to occur
to me that there were not many facts about health in my knowledge bank.
What most people were doing and what I was doing is not working.
</p>
<p>
When I looked in the mirror to see my eyes dilating frantically and body
feeling shaky and nervous when simply resting or eating a meal I knew that
something was wrong. Then it occurred to me: "Why would God or Evolution
ever produce a species that thinks of itself as so advanced, but has
so many health issues that they consistently die prematurely or suffer
chronically?"
</p>
<p>
This lead me into a more nature-based approach to my lifestyle. Obvious
things such as soda and candy were elminated first. Next was fast food.
By the end of it I had eliminated "food" such as meat as well since I
admitted that if I was living in the wild, I wouldn't be able to kill
a cow with my bare hands or teeth, much less chew on its raw carcass.
</p>
<p>
At this point my meals were mostly fruit and vegetables. I didn't really
know what I was doing though. I still allowed myself bread, so most meals
were oatmeal or peanut butter sandwiches with either jelly or bananas. I
was feeling better, but knew that bread didn't grow on trees so I needed
to keep going further. This was around the time that a nasty looking and
extremely itchy mole cropped had to be cut out of the the back of my leg.
</p>
<p>
My saving grace was quitting a restaurant job in order to seek a job
related to my upcoming career field of Computer Science. This was the
summer of 2014 before my final year of school. I had figured out that my
hydration was trash and was now drinking at least a gallon of water a day.
I didn't have luck finding an internship, but I had plenty of time to
research health, and ended up doing an apple fast.
</p>
<p>
I gorged on apples. Multiple pounds a day for at least three days. I
honestly did it not expecting it to work. Being able to live on apples
seemed like a joke, but I was willing to try it as an experiment. To my
surprise I started feeling better and better! By the end I had decided
that there was power to this and needed to explore even more!
</p>
<p>
For the following three months I was a 100% raw fruitarian eating as many
calories as I could. I followed the advice of many people, mostly vegan
athletes such as Durianrider and Freelee, but also others like John Kohler
and Dan "The Man" McDonald. Dan also provided lots of good advice on loving
oneself and improving mental, emotional, and spiritual life. I also made
sure what I was doing was backed by medical staff such as John McDougall.
</p>
<p>
I still tell people this to this day: those three months in 2014 were the
best feeling of my life. My body felt light lightning. I had so much energy
and felt like I could literally accomplish anything. I started riding a bike
without having done it since I was a kid, and was able to ride to a town
dozens of miles away with no training or practice, and didn't even feel
sore. My body was finally to the point that God or Evolution intended!!
</p>
<p>
Acne, gone. Skin was glowing and I got many compliments. Suffering from
the heat and humidity of summer? Gone as well! My body was able to cool
off so much faster without having cooked food stuck in digestion. There
were so many weird things that people wouldn't think of being related to
diet and lifestyle.
</p>
<p>
Speaking of lifestyle, that is something else I learned from listening to
my new role models. "Sleep Water Sugar" as Durianrider used to say. The
PDF on my main Health section covers the 6 pillars that I found to be
highly important. "CTFU" (Carb The Fuck Up) is first for a reason, in my
experimentation it was the most important one. Water and sleep follow
because I found my body does not operate or digest well if those are
missing. Exercise is next because it can go longer without being kept up.
The last two are more spiritual, and reuire the first four to be maintained
in order for them to be beneficial, but once they are achieved then they
can help keep the first four in check when they dwindle.
</p>
<p>
There was a day where I wondered if I was now cured of something and could
go back to foods from my old diet. So one night for dinner I ate with my
family and had some sort of pasta with meat. After eating I ran an errand,
and remember within less than a few minutes, after only getting to the
street after our home, I started nodding off at the wheel. What a quick
indication that certain foods are a no-go!
</p>
<p>
Why would I stop eating like this, you ask? This was a temporary situation.
I was on summer break from school and was free from a job. When the fall
semester started I needed a job again to pay for gas, books, etc. So I
added in clean RawTil4 type foods like rice. For many years I ate like this
and still felt great. No oil, which I still don't do to this day. Also no
seasoning, I firmly believe in only eating food that you like the taste
of alone and would be happy eating as a monomeal. This is one of many
reasons I don't like seasonings and prefer not to use them.
</p>
<p>
There are other things I was able to discover about my body as well, such
as alliums causing headaches, body pain, nightmares, and with garlic it
becomes full-on night terrors. These are an absolute no when I'm able
to dictate it. Nightshades have also been slowly phased out, avoiding
all potato unless deep fried so that the poison is destroyed even things
like tomatoes and non-spicy peppers. These are less of an issue, but raw
and undercooked potatoes cause an obvious head and body tingle/ache,
eggplant digests terribly, and tomatoes cause bloat. In 2022 as an
experiment with my wife while she tried a low histamine experiment I
also found that tomatoes were the reason that my nose has been running
consistently for years! I had been blaming bad air, but just goes to
show that you can never stop learning!
