My diet is no longer strictly Wai, because I found things that I can take which I've been gradually taking. The non-raw or non-sanctioned foods I mostly eat are raw-milk cheese, juice from bottles, sprouted wheat bread, alcohol and some spice and salt. It could be that the reason it went away is bec...

Aquagenic pruritus (water induced itch)

Hi, Since I found a cure for one of my problems on this forum/site, I though I'd ask the people here for help with another one, especially because it is skin related. I seem to have what is called aquagenic pruritus , in other words, itch after getting wet, either by swimming, shower, sweat, etc. It...

What people? Are they on this diet? I found it here on the forums from people on Wai, yes. But, I can't say how strict they adhered to it, of course... One thing I do know, is that using petroleum based oils on my skin, does seem to give me acne. Lip balms are a good example. Only the ones based on...

A comment about the flakey skin. I have been following the raw diet since last march without such problems. However, lately, my skin is getting somewhat flakey. Perhaps it's due to the season (winter). I indeed also used (deluded) sweet almond oil for my skin. Today I started an experiment with virg...

It is not so much a question of feeling happy or sad, just weak. But, whatever viral infection I had is over and I feel pretty well, lately. Even though my eating habits are very irregular right now. For the last few weeks, I've often eaten very little. And there were days on which I ate 'bad' foods...

Your defense is too low. Mostly, this is due to a lack of sleep. Do you alweays sleep enough? And when you dont, do you make up for that in the following days? Getting sleep is never a problem for me. It may be that you need more of a specific nutrient than the average. You can try to find it by an...

Feeling sick and weak

Hi, I've got a problem, possibly related to the Wai diet, so I thought I'd post it here. About a month ago, I got sick; felt kind of like the flu or a cold. It passed, but never fully, as I kept having this scratchy throat. A few days ago, I became sick again; sore throat, runny noise, feeling very ...

Of course, it is as you said, that's how evolution works. The mutation provided an evolutionary advantage over another group, so this group grew.

True. But it's not that I'm advertising to drink milk or eat cheese. I'm just saying that for me, raw milk cheese doesn't seem to have much influence, and it can add some variety to the diet.

Well, because they kept drinking milk, their bodies adapted to it.

BTW, I've been told that hard cheese doesn't even contain lactose...

Btw, you know this was a mutation and that in fact we should all be lactose intolerant (like plenty of people in the East still are)?
Yes, I do. The fact that you can see is also a mutation; that's how you came to be... :)

True. I do notice it has some effects. If I truly want to remain acne free, I stay away from the cheese.

It's been some time now that I've been trying this, and it would appear that it has a slight effect, although I can't say for sure. One week, when I eat 1 kg cheese in two days, the effects are not noticeable, and another week, I get a small spot. Never anything major, anyway. And, it may be that I'...

People have this obsession with categories. Over time, I have come to a realization about them: categories are useless. What exactly do you have them for? For people to find information more easily? That is an invalid argument, because most visitors to Wai will be from search engines, and when you d...
