Instinctive urges

[TheRavenMother]

Do you sometimes get information where you dont know where you got it from?

Or sometimes crave certain foods when you are ill, but dont really know why, or just generally crave foods anyways of a certain kind?

The reason why I am asking this is, because I crave foods (certain foods) frequently, when I ignore those cravings for days, I become ill with whatever, when I research online the cures of those illnesses, it puts me back into the direction that I should eat what I craved the days before.

For example.

For the last month, I have been craving foods with lots of onions, garlic, vinegar and spices. Also, rosehip tea, tomatoes, and sweet n sour sauce with rice, lemon tea, and fresh lemons in iced water. And, crushed ice with just water.

I went online, because after a few days of being healthy my bronchitus seems to be coming back!

and this is what I found.

Bronchitis Treatment
Some folk seem to be more prone to Sinus and Ear Infections, others to Throat and Chest Infections and there are many simple home remedies, which we can use to assist in general. The herbs Lemon, Garlic, Rosehips, Fenugreek and Thyme cover the whole range of possible weaknesses pretty well and all should be included in all children’s diets.
Herbs: Yarrow, Garlic, Rosehips, Ginger, Elecampane, Marshmallow, Golden Seal, Thyme and Nettle with the Back Flower Remedies Olive and Chestnut Bud.

This is funny, because pulling info out of the air is something I do a lot. My husband thinks it's charming, and my friends think it's weird.

I don't crave the foods like that, but I do dream herbs that will help. I wonder if you do the food thing because (from what I can tell) you are very in tune with the culinary arts. Very cool.

I have had problems since a child, and the miltary exacerbated the whole mess. My health problems, is what largely has helped me restore what got turned off as child.

I find that if you crave something and it makes you feel better, and it satifies and turns off the craving, it is what your body needed.

But if the craving was met with wanting more and more until you over eat, or eat it all of the time, and it is not fixing the problem or causing more, then it was a bad craving.

Some foods, our bodies cannot tolerate, or they trigger allergy reactions or etc. Also parasite can make you crave foods they like, and foods which will give them more control of your body; the parasites can be large or microscopic as bacteria and fungus and etc.

Having learned to sense what my body needs, or wants, or is bad for it, makes it much easier.

I have learned my body, our bodies know what it needs or wants, that it also has feelings and desires too, but we need to keep them in check, so there is not just total selfishness and brutality towards others.

I have answers pop into my head too, often as a kid, feeling threatened by some other kid in school, I would explain things I never learned.

I credit it to the Holy Ghost and the gift of discernment and realizing that to our minds/spirits there is really no time or distance. Some times it is like being into some cosmic mind conscienceness. Being a very sensitve Empath, that could be very true. Not sure, but sure it sure is nice it works like that way.

As we eat better, our bodies can recognize too, what is better for us, eating process chemicalized junk food does the opposite.

It is I guess, just being aware of our bodies and having a connection to it. In the winter when it gets colder, I crave more grains and stop craving much fruit. In the fall I start craving grains, and in spring it stops and I start craving fruit.

What is ripe at the time, should be the major part of our diet.

I think most people are just not tuned into their bodies and have no idea what the food they are stuffing into is doing, until they get some major disease, or are greatly haddicaped.

The best Bronchitus fix would be to stay away from mucus causing foods like dairy and what every, and keep your immune system up.

I have found that white sugar and flour are killers, the more you eat, the more you are going to be sick and ill.
