My resourceful and loving hubby got me a copy of the popular ebook, “Beat Eczema” by Susan Clark this past week. The premise of this book is “you are what you eat.” The only food categories that are good for healing my skin are:
1. raw or dried fruits
2. raw vegetables
3. Miso
The last…category…makes me wonder about the validity of Susan’s claims, but despite that, I cannot agree more that you are indeed what you eat.
Upon embarking on my war against eczema, I was required to be on apple detox for 3 days (but i was still able to use my iphone…haha… :-S. worst. 3. days. of my life. No, not really, but I really really really love food, especially foods with gluten and white flour and sugar and everything that is not raw fruits and vegetables and miso. Therefore, (unfortunately) I did not succeed in my apple detox, but for 2/3 days I did. I dreamed about food every night. Yes, all 2 nights.
How will I live without white flour products? I sure do love white flour and sugar, especially mixed with lots of butter and eggs. Here are two cakes I made for 2/3 Thanksgiving parties. Can you tell there are two colors on the one to the left? Perfecting icing and/or pie weaving is one of my goals in life.
Yes, I can see the two colors! I show you to make a lattice-top pie some time…is not very hard. Even a Caveman can do it! Heh heh…terrible person.
I finished 3/5 days of raw food fast and it was highly unsuccessful for a variety of reasons, but I have heard that gluten is evil on many levels.
