ANGELA STOKES FAQS PAGE


Hi Folks,

My new blog friend, Jamie, forwarded the below internet info page to me, which is incredibly enlightening, and specifically germaine to issues I am facing today as a return raw foodist: HAIR LOSS, STALLED WEIGHT LOSS, LACK OF ENERGY.

As you know, since returning to raw foods 11 weeks ago, my hair has been coming out in handfuls. A very frightening ordeal. After reading the information linked below, specifically the section entitled , "Is Hairloss Common For Raw Foodists?," I come away with new information regarding the possible cause of my hair loss (too much fruit, not enough greens/fats).

INTERESTING, especially since at OHI, we did not eat fruit past breakfast EVER and I experienced no hairloss there.

I have also been hoarse for the past 4 or 5 days seemingly without cause. August allergies? After reading the article, i am seriously considering that i may be experiencing some kind of a candida issue. Angela also states a possible reason for allergy flareups is TOXICITY and suggests PROBIOTICS and COLONIC ENEMAS.

At OHI, i did colonics weekly and I lost 140 lbs in 8 months.

In 11 weeks back on raw, i have not lost more than 30/40 lbs. It fluxuates depending on my level of activity and on how much emotional eating i do.

This has been discouraging.

Along the same lines, the possible cause for my feelings of depression and lethargy (at times) may also be due to a build up of toxicity and acidity. Angela, again, suggests COLONIC ENEMAS. Makes sense. If the system is overloaded, we feel blah. Who wants to exercise then?

THANK YOU
I'm very grateful to Jamie for forwarding the info and I will consider it thoughtfully. It seems to make sense!

I thought you might like to read through.

Hi Michelle,

I think Doug Graham (you're favorite) was very clear that you will have problems if you eat a lot fruit with fat. It seems he knew what he was talking about. If you look at what 80 10 10'ers eat every day and what Angela eats every day (she puts this in her blog), it's a no-brainer for me. Angela practically starves herself.

I'm feeling fantastic these days eating tons of fruit, some greens and NO NUTS, OILS, OR AVOCADOS. I have no hair loss, lots of energy and don't feel the need to pay someone to stick something up my butt (although I turn 50 this year and so my doctor says i should have a colonoscopy, so I guess I will pay someone to put something up my butt).

I just thought you should have a second opinion before you start spending money. Next thing, you'll be buying all kinds of supplements and you still won't feel great. You need to cut the fat out of your diet. JMO

Fruit is what we are meant to eat - just look at Megan.

Geoffrey Redmond, The Hormonally Vulnerable Woman, also talks a lot about hair issues. And of course, HERPLACE, Elizabeth Vliet's site that has books and free mp3s. If you hair is falling in clumps it may be thyroid?? I know that the natural peeps often suggest a thyroid reading of .5 to 1
Which is lower than a lot of other people. An maybe insulin levels, resistance checked. It may be your sugar too high for you, or it may be that when you eat fruits that you aren't eating enough iron and protein. Bt I would try to get some numbers!!!! Because it could be so many things. Vitamin D and E is also supposed to help hair as well as seaweed. sometimes I just snack on nori!! Have you had all your metabolic markers measured?? You might have PCOS. ?
