♥ Day 58 Mono Orange Juice ♥

Day 58 ♥

Today I had the pleasure to finish reading Dick Gregory's book, 'Natural Diet For Folk Who Eat: Cookin' With Mother Nature'.

I have really enjoyed Dick Gregory's insights and humour; and I especially valued the last chapter.

I would like to share some quotes from that last chapter with you ♥.

"The same mentality which sanctions the dropping of bombs on Vietnam is responsible for spraying poisonous chemicals on the fruits and vegetables people eat. Even the rationale is the same. Spraying fruits and vegetables, it is said, is for the protection of the consumer. The same reasoning insists that bombing Vietnam is for the Vietnamese people's own good!"

"As mentioned earlier, in the chapter on fasting, when the body is cleansed, the six basic fears plaguing humankind disappear. This is true of both individuals and nations. America seems to be afraid the nation will be overwhelmed externally, by some mysterious force - a red menace, a yellow peril, etc. It never seems to occur to America that the greatest menace is internal, the gradual and not so mysterious degeneration of the bodies of Americans and the effect that disintegration has on the mind, emotions and behavior patterns.

" Individual Americans show the same irrational fears. Some worry and fret while riding in an airplane, fearing the possibility that the plane will crash. It never occurs to them there is more danger in the meal they will eat on the plane. When the basic fears disappear as a result of cleansing the system, the terrible problems rooted in those basic fears also begin to be solved - racial hatreds, bigotry and misunderstanding, an infatuation with war and killing - all of the seemingly "insoluable" problems we face today."

" Anything we are supposed to have Mother Nature places at our doorstep. At twelve noon, we walk out of the door and we know where Mother Nature's sun will be. Her rain comes down on us, and her air and her wind. But the birds fly away when we approach and animals scamper at the sound of our footsteps. It's as though they know we can't be trusted.

" Apples don't run away from us. They fall off the trees into our waiting hands. Oranges, pears and peaches don't try to escape. They remain in Mother Nature's kitchen, being baked and ripened by her natural sunlight. So enjoy her pantry! You'll be so glad you did. Because Mother Nature's cookin', baby!

  Peace be with you."

Thank You very much Dick Gregory for these words of beauty and truth ♥

Day 53 Mono Orange Juice ♥

Day 53 ♥

The weather here in South East Queensland has still been very conducive to a mono juice diet. The temperatures have been high, averaging about 32 degrees Centigrade/90 degrees Fahrenheit, and I have been really enjoying the heat and loving the early morning sun warming up my Oranges.

I have been juicing Oranges from a variety of sources, and it is nice to have a little variety. I have another order arriving on Friday, and I am thinking of ringing them up and asking for all of their littlest Valencias (which tend to be the real syrupy juice balls).

I am continuing to enjoy Dick Gregory's book, 'Natural Diet for Folks Who Eat: Cookin' With Mother Nature'.

Gregory has lived on fruit and veg juice (no solid food) for one and a half years at the time he was writing the book (1971) in protest of the Vietnam War. Apparently at the time he was well known for his water fasting and his juice diets. Dick Gregory was a very popular comedian, so I believe that  his dietary actions were pretty newsworthy.

It would be great if one of our present day entertainers followed Gregory's lead and brought a good example of awareness of diet and Natural Hygiene into the world of celebrity news.

I feel that I have been eliminating a bit today, I had more coating on my tongue than usual and my body felt like having more of a restful day; I did not feel tired or weak but just not drawn to do my usual workout. However, my skin is nice and clear.

The Oranges continue to be excellent in taste and ripeness ♥

For which I am very grateful ♥

Day 49 ♥ Mono Orange Juice.

Day 49 ♥

We had another beautiful time at the beach today, at Bribie Island which I have never visited before.

The water was nice and warm with few waves, so ideal for swimming in.

The sea air felt very fresh and energising. My lungs feel freer and as if they can easily expand more with being on the Orange juice mono diet, so deep breathing the sea air is a real pleasure.

I read some more of Dick Gregory's book last night.

He embarked upon a fast for political reasons and social protest, in his own words:

"What began as an act of social protest - a political act - became in the process of living it a "purifying act" - in mind, body and spirit. As my body was was cleansed of years of accumulated impurities, my mind and spiritual awareness were lifted to a new level. I felt closer to Mother Nature and all her children. I felt more in tune with the universal order of existence."

In 1970 Gregory went on to do an 81 day fast on distilled water. And at the time of writing of his book (1971) he was on a fruit juice fast until the Vietnam War ended.

So what began for Dick Gregory as a reaction against war, changed his health and consciousness for ever.

♥ Day 48 ♥ Mono Orange Juice.

Day 48 ♥

Today I was blessed with a beautiful mix of Organic Oranges: some delightful, teeny-tiny syrup balls from a wholefood store in Maroochydore, some larger Valencias from a supermarket, and some very nicely ripened delights from Maleny.

I was also blessed with some great reading matter.

I  managed to find Dick Gregory's book, 'Natural Diet for Folks Who Eat: Cookin' With Mother Nature.'

I managed to pick up a first edition from 1971 for just $7 on Ebay.

Gregory was a well known comedian who turned his health and diet right around by going from 280lbs to just 97lbs after an extended water fast.

When he wrote the book in the late 60's/early 70's Gregory was on a fruitarian diet. I saw a more recent video of him speaking out against the factory farming of chickens.

I have just started his book, and it is written in a punchy and entertaining way. A great book to introduce folk to the raw way of life by using  personal experience combined with a good sense of humour.

I did not miss eating the Figs, sure I could appreciate that they were great quality ripe Figs, but I could appreciate more the wonderful Organic  Oranges that I had yesterday.
I feel that I would like to carry on for at least 52 days, to match my longest mono Orange Juice Diet so far, back in 1995.
And hopefully, I have a big Organic order arriving tomorrow full of juicy local Oranges ♥
Life is so abundant for me, and I need to fully appreciate the beautiful abundance in my life right now!
