Your health equates to 'eat like a pig, die like a pig' your digestive system in the strictest sense was meant for a fruit diet. Consume otherwise and you pay the price not because you are being punished per se but because your body will go to extremes to heal itself by casting off the stored and unwanted unneeded intake and excesses. You can't stop a natural process and shouldn't try just rest. The fact that you are even sick confirms your body is functioning normally as it deals with what it considers foreign intake by casting it off using every pore in your body. The system is trying to cleanse itself, don't interfere. Pent up unnecessary and toxic elements are being released and reenter the blood stream to be filtered out by the kidneys (drink lots of distilled water to help flush). This temporary poisoning or over taxation of the bloodstream can cause headaches. In drug addicts it's called withdrawal.
It is a little different for me. At the age of 4 ; I got an illness which was treated by a childspecialist by too small doses of Sulfamides -we did not have peneciline in 1951 .
As a result the bacteries hibernated and then infected the liver ( years and years of no chocolate and no cheese etc for a 4 year old ; only jam; bread ; potatoes and liver yucks) the bacteries also gave an undiagnosed ear infection which mutated in a Petromastoditis . This is a kind of infection that will grow up to the interphase of the ear with the brain . At the time there were 5 cases in Mechelen operated by 2 doctors . Three died and two were deaf . The operation consisted in taking the bones out of the ear and scrape them of with a scalpel and putting the bones back in .
I was diagnosed when my body kept trembling uncontrollable because the brain started to get infected at the ear interface .I only had reduced earing since my mother choose the right surgeon .
Cutting a long story short I had reduced recuperation and in short sequence I had
measles, TBC, diabetes, albumine in the blood and severe undefined allergies which produced lip swelling etc .
I beat everything except the allergy which is activated by nervous energy and lack of serotonine. So I have lots and lots of full spectrum lights in the house in winter .
I try to avoid everything that makes me nervous but my wifes sister died last sunday
and there is little possible avoidance of the fact my wife is unhappy .
Anyway my doctor advised a different diet 5 years ago and for a full year I only ate salads and fibers and fruites etc did not help shit .
So I am back to cognac and pseudoephidrine nasal sprays .
The super advantage is that since I have been sick since age 4 I am not complaining of getting worse like all my age class are complaining of fatigue etc
In fact since I am retired I am getting better . ( No more duties )
