I finally read Essie Honiball's classic book "I live on fruit".
What a gem it is. It is a quick easy read with wonderful things to say such as this:
"I also had to learn that, in the same way as I could not give rein to my appetite, I could not give rein to my undisciplined thoughts. I had to learn to think and react positively, and to clean my state of mind in the same way as I had to purify my life-blood, for nothing pollute's the lifeblood and causes more diseases than does one's state of mind. As long as there was any trace of hatred, intolerance, vindictiveness, depression, or negative criticism in my heart, I could not expect the fruit to correct that too. I also had to work at these things, as man is a psychological unit his body and soul must work in harmony.
Even today, after all the years of work, I am in every respect imperfect, but the difference is that in the past I was all to eager to put the blame for my weaknesses and discomfort, my frustrations and illnesses on the shoulders of others. Today, I myself accept responsibility and when something goes wrong, when I experience some bodily discomfort or give way to an unchristian reaction, I seek the fault within..."
About Me
- Via811
- My life's purpose is best described by: Be the change you want to see in the world: Gandhi. Smiling is my "botox"-FORGET THE DRUGS AND SURGERY. I spice up my life, not my diet, which is SIMPLY DELICIOUS on its own. KISS: I Keep it simple sugars-from whole, fresh, ripe, raw, organic fruits (veggies,some nuts/seeds too). The 811rv motto is: simplicity at mealtime, variety throughout the year. My motto is: I live in my own little world, but it's ok they all know me there. At some point, you have to realize that some people can stay in your heart, but not in your life.

The culprit that gave me kidney stones
We must spread the word
To think I was wrong all those years!
We are what we eat.

Quotes to live by
Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.
Flesh eating is unprovoked murder.
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
Leonardo Da Vinci
As long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seeds of murder and pain cannot reap the joy of love.

Charles Darwin, naturalist and author (1809-1882) The Descent of Man
Even in the worm that crawls in the earth there glows a divine spark. When you slaughter a creature, you slaughter God.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
Gandhi (1869 - 1948)
With malice toward none, with charity for all.
Abraham Lincoln
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. -Dr. King
One's only obligation in life is to fulfill one's own personal destiny. -Paulo Coehlo
I have long and publicly taught the doctrine that, as a general proposition, man causes his own sickness and suffering-that in almost all cases, he is more or less to blame for being sick, and that he as truly owes society an apology for being sick as he does for being drunk. --Sylvester Graham, July 13, 1884
If we could live on uncooked food alone, we should be saving so much time and energy, as well as money, all of which may be utilized for more useful purposes. ~Mohandas K. Gandhi

Eating fresh fruits and vegetables is not radical, it is conservative.
Eating dead burnt bodies, water poured through burnt beans, soured
years-old bovine mammary secretions, fermented fruits, and seared
food of any kind, that's radical. That's some serious trust in the ability
of the human body to generate health in the absence of nutritious
food.-- Dr. Douglas Graham, November 26th 2009.
"That which the body cannot use in a state of health, is equally non-usable in a state of sickness. If it cannot synthesize tissue and generate functioning power out of drugs in a state of health, it is equally incapable of doing these things in a state of disease. Only that which is useful to the body when it is well can be of service to it when it is sick."
~Herbert Shelton
- Natural Hygiene: Man's Pristine Way of Life (p 473)
Follow-up thought of the day:
If drugs would make a healthy man sick, how could they possibly make a sick man healthy?
If we could live on uncooked food alone, we should be saving so much time and energy, as well as money, all of which may be utilized for more useful purposes. ~Mohandas K. Gandhi
