Bună seara! Vă rog dacă mă puteți ajuta cu ceva sfaturi legate de papaya, am trombocitopenie autoimună și am aflat că este benefică pentru creșterea numărului de trombocite. O seară binecuvantată!
Buna, Mikaela! Toate bolile asa numite autoimmune sunt de fapt cauzate de virusi ascunsi care nu sunt depistati de analizele medicale deficitare. In cazul trombocitopeninei, virusul cel mai adesea responsabil este virusul Epstein-Barr, conform autorului intuitiv Anthony Williams. Eu personal am urmat de mai multe ori sfaturile lui si am vazut rezultate bune, insa necesita strictete din punct de vedere alimentar. Virusii se hranesc (ceea ce stiinta nu a descoperit inca), iar hrana lor preferata sunt ouale, produsele lactate, glutenul, carnea de porc, soia, porumbul si rapita (care sunt 99% modificate genetic), pestele de crescatorie, zahar procesat din sfecla, monoglutamatul de sodiu (MSG), aromele (chiar si cele naturale), acidul citric, indulcitorii artificiali, mancarea procesata si ultraprocesata. In schimb, este recomandata o dieta preponderent vegana, toate fructele si legumele proaspete (sau la abur) plante aromatice, miere cruda, ceaiuri din plante, anumite cereale precum mai, ovaz, mai rar peste (niciodata de crescatorie si de evitat pestii oceanici mari) si carne de pui dintr-o sursa curata. Grasimile de orice fel, inclusiv cele bune (uleiul de cocos, avocado, nucile) sa fie reduse la maximum, si consumate dupa-masa si la cina, nu dimineata. Papaya este unul dintre alimentele vindecatoare foarte bune mai ales pentru sistemul digestiv si pentru probleme intestinale. Va las cu un link pentru a intelege mai bine explicatia lui Anthony Williams despre problemele legate de sange: https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/is-your-blood-toxic Cartile lui le gasiti traduse si in limba romana, informatia pe care o prezinta este cel putin revolutionara si daca ar fi luat in serios de “comunitatea stiintifica”, ar ajuta multi oameni cu probleme cronice de sanatate sa se vindece. Deocamdata este doar copiat si nu i se acrediteaza meritele. Sper ca v-am fost de folos, numai bine!
