            Our Hygiene Homestead in The Woods is the setting for many more weight-loss success stories than weight-gain, as you can well imagine. Some overweight Health Seekers comically express exasperation and even envy at those "lean & mean" people who have the metabolism of hummingbirds and could not gain weight if handed a million dollars to successfully do so! In fact, most overweight Health Seekers wish they had the problem of the underweight  so they could "eat like horses" and extend the length of their cinches!
***
            In all sobriety, however, being seriously, dangerously, unhappily underweight is a potentially life-threatening condition. REMEMBER: "IT'S ALL ABOUT ENERGY!" If The Conditions for Health are not correctly met, the concentration camp skinny person can run so low on electrolytes that his or her "electric body" just shuts down and dies. That is what happens with some anorexics who do not recognize how sick they actually are. "Anorexia Nervosa" came into our vocabulary in the 60s to name the disease of (mostly) women who had mental/emotional aberations that gave them the ability to look into a full-length mirror and see themselves hideously ugly because of overweight when they were horrifying everyone else around them because these anorexics had, in reality, gotten themselves down to skin and bones! The disease is still popular today through self-imposed calorie-strictive diets made famous by movie stars. And something akin to this does happen to some few live-fooders who do not know enough to get concerned about their terribly low weights. while their loved ones are begging them to "Eat some cake, for God's sake!"

I once had a guest come through just this skinny. She looked so thin and weak. Her face was so pale and filled with wrinkles. And she lived in a coolish climate, and she was never warm enough due to so very little body fat. I had to get out 2 comforters and 8 sheepskin sewn together to keep her warm in bed, with a heater on in her room, to boot, during our warm Indian Summer! Her life here revolved around keeping warm, making sure she was bundled up, and being terrified of getting cold. And, in the process, she had created the outline of a teenage boy, eating raw foods and getting rid of every womanly curve she could have had with more muscle and more fat. Well, that ain't me, Babe! I want to be able to throw a 60-pound saddle up onto High and to move his 110-pound bales of hay! This woman explained, however, that she was very happy with her weight. So, who was I to encourage her to build some muscle and lay on some fat? ONE OF MY MANY JOBS IS TO HELP HEALTH SEEKERS WHO ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THEIR WEIGHT! And to alert them to "The Death by Electrolyte Deficiency" if I see it in action.
***
          There are always multiple reasons for being pathologically underweight. Most common include genetics complicated by nutrition deficiencies and the body not absorbing and/or assimilating what should be an otherwise healthy and nutrition-sufficient caloric intake.
***
           We have all heard the wonderful stories of overweight Health Seekers who have miraculously dropped much weight when they go on all-raw or nearly all-raw foods. Most have the good sense to stop at a fun and fabulous weight and normalize there. But we still have Health Seekers following the dangerous teachings on Internet websites and who drop more weight than is healthy and continue to drop until it should scare them! But some don't get scared. They are told that such dramatic drops are normal, that they will be fine. The problem is that they may wake up one morning to find themselves dead before they figure out that the website information was wrong!
***
          I just had one such Health Seeker... Tom ...here for 4 weeks. I told him 2 stories of elderly men I had known personally who had followed ill-informed advise and who died: one weighing 86 pounds and one weighing 74 pounds. These are long stories I will share someday when I have the many hours to do them justice.  Tom heard the stories his 2nd day here. He had just suddenly dropped 20 pounds he could ill-afford to lose and was still losing by following the ill-informed advise of a self-proclaimed health educator. He arrived Halloween-scary-skinny. He was in the throes of a much worse chronic, degenerative disease... Parkinson's. But that  would not be the end of him. If his weight-loss were to continue at the rate it was dropping, he would lay down and die with Death by Electrolyte Deficiency long before his slowly progressing Parkinson's got him! We did get his "Thinner Syndrome" stopped and reversed in just 3 weeks. He quietly told me at the last supper that he had gained 7 pounds during the 4 weeks, even with 3 days of "tune-up fasting!" All I could think was: "THANK GOD!"
***
            In our next broadcast coming soon, I will tell you Tom's story of waking up, gaining wisdom, and getting into nature at Our Hygiene Homestead in The Woods... and I will tell ya'll how those fun and yummy Just Tomatoes, Etc. FRUIT POWDERS added a  much-needed playfulness to his trip and our tastebud fun every day! I have never had a guest marvel over the food more than Tom! That made it very fun for me. And I would never want to be without those wonderful FRUIT POWDERS to make the marvelous meals! We hope you will share this broadcast with anyone in need... THANK YOU!
 
 
The
GetWell Weight-Gain System
as detailed in 2 BOOKS IN 1: 
The Health Seekers' YearBook 
with The Best of Common Health Sense

#1 The very best approach to weight gain is to first undertake a short Correct Natural Hygiene Fast of 1 - 5 days. The extra physical, physiological, sensory, emotional, and mental rest claimed during a properly conducted fast will be used by your body to re-energize Nerve Energy supplies and then to detoxify, heal, balance body chemistry, and give an emotional lift to you! This will result in improved digestion, absorption, assimilation, and elimination of nutrients. After a fast and when you commence eating, your body will be in the very best position to build the healthiest of tissues with the best of foods and to wring every bit of nutrient out of every bite you eat. Remember: "IT'S ALL ABOUT ENERGY!" And fasting is a time for the body to re-energize. Remember, also: It is not only what you eat but what your body uses that builds Superlative Health! Finally: It is systematic weight-training exercise that inspires the body to accommodate by building muscle tissue and gaining the sought-after weight in the form of sculpted, well-defined, attractive muscles with a minimum of fat for curvature and good looks. But if you are seriously, dangerously, unhappily underweight, you could undoubtedly stand to lay on not only muscle, but fat! SO GET READY TO ENJOY BREAKING A FEW FOOD COMBINING RULES AND EATING LIKE A HORSE!

#2 Change to The Ideal Diet of raw, nontoxic foods, eaten in proper combination.

#3 Maximize all fruit, but especially all the caloric dried fruits, sweet fruits, and avocados.

#4 Take an extra fruit meal a day, even when genuine hunger is not present. But do not overeat yourself into sickness. This is a fine line. To gain a significant amount of weight in a relatively short period of time, push yourself to eat like a horse... but not into feeling sickly.

#5 Emphasize the caloric starchy veggies: corn, mature peas, and carrots; sprouted lentils and garbanzo beans; shredded turnips, beets, potatoes, yams, and sweet potatoes. Shredded and cut up underground veggies, instead of whole veggies, offer far more exposed surface areas, far more cell walls broken at those surface areas, and far more sweetness and calories liberated from veggie cells. Do not emphasize the nonstarchy vegetables completely for 1 - 2 weeks at a time to maximize weight gain.
#6 Maximize the caloric, high-protein nuts and seeds, as they hold the amino acid building blocks for increased muscle tissues. Instead of the standard 2 - 4 ounces of nuts and/or seeds a day, take 5 - 6, especially when highly active and under stress.

#7 Take 4 - 6 ten-ounce glasses of fresh-made juices, smoothies or nut-based beverages a day, between meals. When smoothie and nut-based beverages are prepared in The VITA-MIX and thus thoroughly liquefied, they will be easier to process and require less digestive energy for the person whose digestion is weakened.

#8 Undertake the GetWell weight-gain exercise schedule as follows:

          Aerobics: Days you do not weight-train, just take                                  leisurely walks. Avoid calorie-burning, aerobic exercise for 1 - 4           weeks at a time.

          Stretching: Do a stretching routine daily for 20 - 30 minutes.

         Weight training: After eating right, the building of muscle tissue with weight training will be your greatest weight-gain maneuver of all! If your health condition allows, weight train for 30 - 60 minutes every other day. If you are too ill or weak to go a full 30 minutes, start with 5 or 10 minutes. Train 3 times a week, and take one full day each week for complete rest. Weight-training sessions should consist of the following: first, a 5-minute warm-up of stretching; second, the weight-training session itself; third, a 5-minute cool-down of more stretching.

#9 Get strict with all of The 10 Energy Enhancers, especially extra sleep and rest. The body especially needs extra sleep and rest in order to accommodate to all these lifestyle changes with a healthy weight gain.
#10 Do note that extremely weak or bedridden Health Seekers need to recover their energy and become strong enough to undertaken even the least demanding of these weight-lifting exercises.


 


 
GOD BLESS YOU ALL, DEER livefoodfactorfriends!
