well... here is what I would do. Tell them that cooked food makes you sick, and that uncooked foods make you feel good. No one can argue with how you feel, and if they do... they are being controling. Tell them you dont like to be told how to feel... and keep on repeating it. And try not to label what you are doing around your parents as being "RAW". That gives your parents an issue

I have heard green juice is cleansing/healing for the bowels. And I believe it is because wheat grass juice is supposed to be excellent for the bowels.
But powerful isnt always best madinah... forcing the body is not healthy. I mean colonics are really good at cleaning the lower bowels... but do damage in the process.
I remember what my folks would do to cleanse us kids would be to buy

I could be wrong, but its my knowledge that the body recycles everything. It is extremely intelligent, and spends only exactly what it needs to. I dont know the exact processes, I do not claim to... but I know it will take back what ever it needs during digestion, and re-use it when possible.
So yes... if the acid in the stomach gets used up its gone, it has lost its charge.

Just google these two words... enzymes digestion for the literally thousands of pages that come up regarding how enzymes break down food. How the foods we eat contain them, and how the body produces them aswell.
Not to mention the raw food prep books I have at home, or any of the health books I have read.

I dont like the master cleanse personally... I felt pretty rough on it. I dont like how they are using dead stuff like maple syrup. I personally prefer the citrus juice fasting.
I just oj fasted for 10 days a couple weeks ago... it was rough. But the only reason I could do it was because I knew how to fast. And 10 days is pretty much nothing. The problem isnt the fasting... its the mind

From everything that I have read... and experienced. This is what I would do.
I would juice fast... even if just for a day. Then try eating raw foods again. I would avoid everything that causes me grief. I mean if salad is giving you problems then dont eat it. Eat pineapple, papaya, oranges, grapefruits... things that are easy to digest and are cleansing.

If you buy a distiller where you can buy a replacable boiler... then put the water in glass jugs and let it sit in the sunlight for a couple of days. Its relatively cheap, and better for the environment.

P.S.
Here is a link I googled in about 5 seconds regarding digestion and ENZYMES, in living foods. And yes the enzymes help with digestion... we just need to look to the papaya and pineapple to see this.

sorry... I didnt really have time to get back to this fully.
Everything in the body is cycled. Like I said earlier... the protein, the bile, the acid... everything. The reason we we eat food is for energy. That is the only reason... there is not one single cell in our bodies that is made up of the food we eat.
Most fruit is a perfectly balanced food for the human body. It contains th

I never said anything about the stomach not having acid in it. I was talking about the stomach GENERATING acid. Many things in the body are cycled.... we know that protein is one of them. BILE is another... and so is the ACID in the stomach.

Workoutman- You believe that acid generation in the stomach is a healthy thing?
What do you think is easier on the body... eating foods that digest themselves in the body, or eating foods where the body has to supply acid, enzymes, and other materials digest them?

follow your instincts...
I mean if your eating raw, and your instincts tell you to eat nuts, veggies, and herbs then go with it. There is probably a reason for it. And I agree with DZM aswell... if foods arent making you sick.. and you crave them, then go with it. But if a person is eating herbs just because they think they are good for them... then I think there is a problem. Because that

when foods are properly combined the digestion system does not have to work nearly as hard at digesting foods. Something like a ripe apple, takes maybe a half hour to digest... and practically digests itself. This is why its so important to chew your foods thoroughly... and combine them properly. You want to make it as easy on digestion as possible.
Something like steak on the othe

A simple explanation, from my understanding, is that the higher the brix... the better quality the produce. A high brix produce is the result of a fruit, that had excellent growing conditions.
Unfortunately, in the western world... profits trumps everything, and the more produce sold the better the profits. And quality is sacrificed. However even crazy things happen, like with monsanto

brix is an indicator of quality of produce...
the better the brix, the longer the shelf life... the lower the brix, the lower the shelf life. A moldy fruit is not a healthy fruit.
A fruit that has been imported from far away is most likely to have a low brix. But check the smell of the fruit, taste it if you can... is it "seedless" ?... is it mature? is it local? what is its c

my understanding is that herbs are poisons... anything that makes the body generate stomach acid hurts it. So herbs should only be used with specific intent... IE cleansing, circulation... but if you dont have problems with these then dont eat them.

I wouldnt have a problem with giving the government my DNA... if it would benefit everyone. Possibly with health issues, maybe finding a donor for bone marrow, or what ever else dna can tell us.
But in my opinion this is not the case. I am sure the government will use it to what ever means they wish, and lately I havent seen the government do any sort of good, anywhere.
