in October to Remember Forever!
How to Stop Riding The Food Pendulum from "Omnivore" to "All-Raw"
& Then Back Again!
By Karen Wilson

It has been a week since returning from Victoria's
Natural Hygiene health retreat. And I continue to feel better than I
have in a very long time! Our family has swung the Food Pendulum from
"Omnivores" to "Vegetarians" to "Mostly All-Raw Food Vegetarians" to
"All-Raw Food Vegetarians" and right on back to "Omnivores" during the
last few years. But in October, 2011, I rode the pendulum to
"Breathetarian" for 10 days at Victoria's and took my first water-only
fast, living off my reserves, pure water, and pure air -- followed by 4
days of fresh-made juices and melons. Now, once my husband returns from
his 2 weeks at Our Hygiene Homestead in The Woods for the same, the Food
Pendulum will have successfully swung back to "Mostly All-Raw Fooders"
and will find its place fixed there by our strongest resolve.
Two years ago, as the pendulum swung on past "All-Raw Food Vegetarians" on the way back to "Omnivores" where we settled in for awhile, more and more Energy Robbers worked their way into in our lifestyle and diet -- when we weren't looking! And during these last few years "Before Victoria's," our health was suffering, especially mine. My energy came from stimulation of energy robbing foods (poisons), and I was taking on some aches and pains. This was brought on by overworking myself as "Alchemist Formulator" at Sweet Sisters Bodycare while serving as a homeschooling mom of three. I found comfort in stress-related eating all too often and used food and caffeine to override a building fatigue. All the while, I was becoming more and more disconnected from my body. I was missing out on the great joy great health brings! And I knew it. But I could not break the cycle at home on my own. When Victoria's letter came through Dr. Tosca Haag's mailing, I took it as a definite sign to make a change. I wanted to reset the Food Pendulum from "Omnivores" back to "Mostly All-Raw Vegetarians" for my family and me. I took the 2 terrific "Picture Tours" at
www.naturecurerawfoodhealthretreat.com,
talked with her, and made 2-week reservations, back-to-back, for my husband and myself. Victoria calls herself "The Wilderness Woman." So, at The Wilderness Woman's "nature retreat," I knew I could give my physical and emotional body a deep rest as well as give nurturing attention to the spiritual nature of my life and reconnect to the natural world.
We had a full-house of 4 guests, and a 5th flowed over
into the new "Bear Cave" building. One was an experienced faster. I
fasted from all but water for 10 days, followed by juices and melons for
4. I could have continued on just water, but time constraints were an
issue. Except for some occasional, low-level nausea, my fast was
pleasant. As days progressed, my aches and pains disappeared, my
emotions became more peaceful, my skin softer, my mind clearer, and my
senses sharper. Our Hygiene Homestead was well-organized. The Homestead
Library covered the gamut of subjects in nutrition, physiology,
microbiology, exercise, and health. I enjoyed Victoria's extensive
library of books, CDs, DVDs, and cassettes. I did not want a clinical or
spa setting and mainly just needed a quiet place away from my own
homestead where I could rest and heal. I had faith in the natural
process of regaining health and did not need a doctor in residence to monitor my vital signs, 24-hour staff on hand, or
blood tests, or the $1,000 a week price tag! I
even enjoyed Victoria's "once a week on-call only as needed " days. During sunny afternoons, I spent time outside on the lounge chairs or on the porch couches.
It felt like a space outside of time where we were free to just be.
I'll always remember The Wilderness Woman's wild ways! From meeting her and HighJoy at their Homestead, her whooping and hollering and High doing his "rocking horse" trick to her bringing me surprises to my room. Once, she asked me to close my eyes and guess what she put into my hands. I did finally guess that it was a little howling wolf figurine, and I was staying in the Howling Wolves' Den! She always made her visits an experience to remember! One day she roared in with her gospel music on high, bringing a huge collection of amazing rocks and crystals to show us! We spent an hour "ooohing" and "ahhhing" over spectacular stones in the Indian Summer sun. She let us each pick 2 to keep! She wanted us to find the joy in the little things in nature. One morning, to my surprise, I found my breakfast watermelon decorated with a face, braids, and a ponytail made of brightly colored and curled ribbon -- all to look like me! Even her massages ended with a playful, little slap and a laugh. It was her way to put silliness back into life and to not take ourselves too seriously.
I have been home a week. Before leaving, Victoria declared: "YOU HAVE JUST TAKEN AN EXTREME MAKEOVER! In just 2
weeks, you have gone from middle-aged and frumpy, worn-out and haggard and
dull-eyed to young and frisky, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed -- and with every one of the
25 pounds now gone showing! YOU LOOK JUST WONDERFUL!
I try to discourage
2-week visits, thinking them never long enough to make a noticeable
difference. And now? I am going to have to rethink this advice! You did
not just make a turnaround in 2 weeks! You are well on your way to
recovering all the highest joys you enjoyed so during the healthiest days of
your frisky youth!" Then she cheerled me: "You have ridden your Food
Pendulum from "Omnivore" to "All-Raw Fooder" here, Karen! Keep it fixed
on Live-Foods forever!"
During my entire Hygiene Homestead visit, The Wilderness had red and black-stained hands. Because on most of the days, The Wilderness Woman was juicing gallons and gallons of berries to make raspberry, strawberry, and blackberry juices for us and guests yet to come! Today, I just juiced cases of strawberries, nectarines, and peaches to put in the freezer as main ingredients in sauces, drinks, coulees, and endless recipes. I will always remember Victoria's delicious fruit juices served in little, decorative glasses. I will carry on Our Hygiene Homestead in The Woods tradition at our homestead here -- just a few miles away from Concrete as the crow flies!
