I'm a raw and living foodest. For those of you who are unfamiliar with what that is I only eat foods that have not been cooked. I do this because it maintains all of the nutrients and enzymes intact and is much healthier. I'm not here to try to convert anyone. I think you can reach maximum health by eating all kinds of foods fixed all kinds of ways. This is simply my life choice. What I'm here to do is help educate people as to what is happening to thier food. Did you know that the pharmaceutical companies have lobbied to have a law voted on called "Codex Aimentarius" that will take away our freedom to take suppliments? It has already been implemented in Europe. Of course it is still ok for them to put steroids, antiboitics and harmones in our foods. Have you wondered why there is a great influx of people acting aggressively and out of character? I'm here to help guide you through this mess. If you want to eat meat...eat meat...just get chemically free meat. I'm here to help you understand what is happening to you.
advice
i love my best friend to death and I REALLY dont want to disobey her trust. see a while ago she told me all this stuff about how she has another world she can escape 2 and sometimes she feels like she doesnt know who she is. she sometimes even, she says, forgets her name. shes already tried talking to her parents and a therapist, and her parents have tried giving her pills. all of it, she says, just make her feel worse, like shes insane. she has a lot of friends, gets good grades, in whole leads a very normal life and acts perfectly normal. we didn't mention this for a while, but over the weekend i went down with her family to the beach. saturday night she started randomly dancing in the sand, running and spazzing randomly all over the place, inchined way to close to the firework display just so, as she put it, she could be close to the sea, and wrote the name's of random people we no in the sand. all of this is very unlike her, and i at the time half-jokingly asked her "if she was here as herself" she wudnt answer me for a while and then very quietly said "who else would i be" and then wouldnt answer any more questions. later that night i asked what was going on and she wouldnt tell me. one of our other friends was there, who doesnt no everything i no and said shes fine stop overreacting. iasked her if she "promised" she was fine (promise is our trust word) and she wouldnt promise. i tried talking her into talking to me cuz i just wanted to help, I didnt want her to go through whatever it was alone. she wouldnt say anything. the next morning everything was back to normal. i dont know what to do and i cant tell anyone because i REALLY REALLY REALLY cant betray her trust like that. please help.
Based on the information that you have shared w/us I don't think you have anything to worry about. I think your friend is a free spirit. Someone who perceives and enjoys life differently than most of us. She doesn't know how to express this well and she knows people will find it strange. When she goes into her free spirit mode just enjoy and observe her zest for life. I know it's different and you feel awkward with it, but there's nothing wrong with it. Now here's something for you to keep to yourself while observing your friend. If, however, your friend ever experiences lapses in time and expresses it freely to you... (That's when a person can't remember what they did between, lets say, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (for example) then no matter what promises you have made you need to let her parents know (pills or not)). You don't want to tell her or allude to the fact that you are looking for this symptom because you don't want her to add this to her symptoms just for the fun of it. You want to know if in fact it is a true symptom. Don't ask her all the time if she remembers what time it was because this will arouse her curiosity. Just observe if she ever mentions it. I'll bet she won't though. It really sounds like she just wants to be different at times and because it is different she has to explain it so that it is acceptable to you. I wouldn't worry about her. It's her way of enjoying life.
Namaste!
