OMG! Has anyone ever experienced hemorrhoids, well I unfortunately have. What a pain that I could describe as harder to bare than child birth, why, because I have been there too, naturally of course and at home. Anyway so when I got my first and only hemorrhoid what did I do. Apart from wishing that I never needed to poo again. I had heard at this stage also of breathanarianism and well, no not quite there yet either. So… read on…
I remember it being before I discovered raw food. It was the most horrible thing and aparantely around 80% of the world population suffer from them, even worse I thought to myself. What are we all doing that is causing this excruciating, painful condition. I decided to research it on the internet, I knew it had to have something to do with what I was eating, but sometimes despite knowing the truth, we dont actually want to believe it. That might mean having to change. Anyway this tiny thing put my entire body into a state of unrelenting panic.
So what did I do. I went on a juice fast and bought myself an at home enema kit. If there was anything in there to come out, it was gonna come out without strain, do you agree? There is nothing worse than having to push! At the time I was still eating bread, pasta and a lot of cooked foods, as you do when that is how you are raised. As much as I loved eating cooked food including copious amounts of bread as do a lot of vegetarians, there is nothing better than not having the problem that floors you like no other – hemorrhoids.
It is well over a year on and with a constantly moving bowel, yes folks, thats right, generally 3 times a day, I am happy to say that on a diet of high fruit, green smoothies and the very occasional cooked food delight, I am hemorrhoid free and pain free. Disease to me is not a mystery.
