Hey,
My diabetes numbers are still not going down (after 4 months), so I'm going toward Gabriel Cousens diabetes work in eating no fruit for 3 weeks. 80% or so veggies and 20% or so nuts & seeds.
It seems harder to come up with palatable simple veggies dishes. I'm also getting constipated on this where I wasn't constipated when eating fruit.
I think the Cushing's Syndrome may be getti

I have a flat ass anyways. I'm 5'5" and when I hit around 130 or lower I have to sit on my ankle because my butt bones can't handle a hard surface. :-(

Hello.
I have a friend that's HIGHLY allergic to wheat. She cannot have crumbs or it in the house, she cannot use any wheat by-products in cosmetics, cannot use anything like nutritional yeast even thou it doesn't contain gluten, if it's processed in a facility that processes wheat.
I heard wheat grass doesn't hurt celiacs. Anybody know how or why wheat grass would be an exception? Her condit

36. Re: Ketosis
Ketosis usually goes hand in hand with low carb diets, NOT raw vegan diets. I doubt you have a ketosis problem because you had a bed taste in your mouth. Please try not to stress over every little thing. It will hinder your healing. Eat raw, eat simply, and focus on that. The taste in your mouth is most likely a little detox.

I have a friend with Crohns and watch her suffer all the time. It started when she was 13 - she's 50 ow. She has an ostomy bag, is on three different steriods, Remicade, a ton of other meds. So often she is in the hospital. She does not eat raw. I saw Paul in Tulsa last weekend. It's amazing how raw has helped him.
There is great hope for you. It perfectly natural for you to want things to wo

All you really need to do is eat until you are no longer hungry. Just pay attention to your body and not what others think you should eat. It shouldn't be stressful. This is my typical day right now:
BR: smoothie w/ 2 bananas & 1/2c blueberries
SN: apple or 2 or apple & orange w/ walnuts
LN: salad w/ sunflower seed "ranch" dressing
SN: banana
DN: a zucchini w/ marinara

I'll continue my meds. My doctor like most is an idiot and doesn't believe I should eat even vegetarian, not to mention raw because "I won't get enough protien". He wants me to low carb which isn't going to happen.
Patience is a virtue. :-)

Thanks for the responses. I have been reading a lot about the fat issue and believe it to be true. It's weird to me though, that fat with meat (ie Atkins) caused my sugar to become completely normal within 2 months many years ago when I was eating low carb. It remained normal until I started taking my cortisone.
Sometimes I wish I was a chemist, just because I'm curious. Plant based fats with

42. Diabetes and Raw
Howdy all you lovely people!
I've been high raw since May 11th. The only thing not raw has been walnuts and I don't eat a lot of them. I have a good mix of fruits and veggies going and am feeling better...MUCH better.
However... My blood sugar numbers aren't dipping. I'm very discouraged by this. I've seen a lot of talk of raw curing type 2 diabetes in 30 days. I went off my meds for a wee

Hi,
I started with smoothies, mainly banana mixed with berries. Adding a frozen banana makes it creamier. You can also toss in a handful or two of baby spinach. It's really good for you and you don;t tast the spinach. I also eat fruit salads. Melons. I eat salads of course. My favorite is taco salad. The "meat" is walnuts ground in a coffee grinder and then add cumin and a splash of so

I had some cooked nasties last week. For me I just made my next meal juice or a smoothie which fills me up and it makes me want to be as raw as I can, I guess it gets in my system quickly and "reminds" me. Best to you! ((huggs))

I used to wake up everyday intending to eat a certain way and would cave before the day was over. It was horribly upsetting. I did it for years. I didn't really have a high raw "lightbulb" moment. I started with fruit smoothies the beginning of May because cooked food made me so sick. After a couple weeks of smoothies I tried eating some whole pieces of fruit and didn't get sick, then I

He did really good today. He's totally open to fresh juice and fruit. He had apple-carrot juice for breakfast and had a big salad with a baked sweet potato for lunch. For dinner zucchini pasta. I gave him some zucchini "pasta" to try that was warmed gently and he liked the texture.
I'm not pushing him at all. Just introducing him to try new things which he's cool with. The main thin

Hi all,
My hubby got his labs back from the doctor today and they are indicative of kidney disease. He also has had high BP average of 140/90 for the last couple of years. He has high uric acid as well and testosterone of 78 (less than mine). He also has a pituitary tumor.
We go back to the doctor June 1st to talk about all this. I guess I just wanted to get it out of my system and ask for he

Do you think passing a kidney stone could be from detoxing? I've been high raw for 15 days and had a stone moving last night. I had my first kidney stone in December caused by the cortisone I was taking. I've been off the cortisone for 4 months. I was thinking maybe being raw is detoxing some of the cortisone I was on for 4 years....<shrug>?...owie.

I'm so happy to report my progession to high raw and I'm at a new "plane" so to speak. The body and mind move when they are ready and it's so exciting to be high raw and to have released any stress related to food including the struggle that used to occur with craving cooked food. I also have no stress over "how" to eat raw and am not following any guru diets. Just focusing on

I just ground them with 2 Tbl of tahini, some garlic and lemon juice. It was bitter. It's not bitter when I used to use the canned beans. I'm going to stick with eating them straight. :-)

I'm not stressing over food at all and just eating when I'm hungry. I eat until I'm satiated, but not stuffed. This is what a normal day is for me. I'm high raw and not 100% raw. I'm eating a base of fruit and am trying one raw veggie recipe a week.
Breakfast: A smoothie w/ 2 bananas and a cup of blueberries or fresh juice (currently apple/carrot/strawberry)
Snack: Apples & oranges
