Is moving an option? I'm so sorry for this..I understand exactly what you are talking about. I think everyone is affected by toxins just most people are unaware since they are so toxin loaded. It's like someone not eating salt then eating something that most people eat but for them it's too salty and they can tell. Your body is doing what it's supposed to do..reject all that crap! Would th

Don't bees die if they use their stinger? Except for yellow jackets or wasps Perhaps. And who wants to go looking for Africanized Bees..no thanks. Once again a living thing is used for beauty enhancement for vain people. I'm sorry, but whatever happened to aging in a natural way..there's beauty in that too..in fact I think it can often be more beautiful than all that weird surgery and enhancem

I agree that we all should customize our raw food intake to where we are at the time and as well as anyone's learning curve goes. New people will have to experiment, adapt over time, change and get in tune with their bodies. Something that as a whole we've lost. I'm going to at the very least stay away from certain foods and drinks now that I know about how my body metabolizes fructose from ju

Yes, we are discussing how horrid these soft drinks are in another thread on "other health related' forum. I linked a video of Dr. Lustig where he discusses how bad high fructose corn syrup is for a person. He states that a diet high in high fructose corn syrup mimics a high fat diet. Also that the sweetener metabolizes in our livers just as alcohol does. Love, Prism

I looked up some of the info. on how high fructose corn syrup is made, and it's a chemical reaction (hence why Tam called it artificial I would think) thru the use of enzyme action on corn starch. Anyway, it's not natural occurring. You can read some of how they do it at I think it's important that people especially new people that come to change their SAD to a larger percentage of raw foods

He ( Dr. Lustig) doesn't say anything about 'artificial fructose', if there is even such a thing. He takes orange juice as an example and the sugar in it is sucrose and fructose, with the sucrose not causing the problem as it's the fructose that causes the problem. So forgive me if I'm not understanding him exactly, but I watched the video twice and some of his shorter videos too. I'm talking abo

Powerlifer, that statement right there is what is wrong with our thinking today. "But to blame obesity on a single macro-nutrient alone isn't really too fair. The simple fact is people are eating too much and aren't anywhere near active enough to burn off the excess calories." __________________________________________________________ God, I wish I was brilliant in explaining thi

That's too bad you didn't stick with the video..you could go back and just go to around the 43 minute mark. He also has short videos that explain the more interesting points. Those vids are about 8 minutes long. The guy is a Dr. and is an expert..he's an endocrinologist. Panchito, it's ok about not sticking out watching the video but it makes it difficult to discuss what the point he/I fo

Burdock root tincture was what I used to help rid my body of excess uric acid. I liked the first bottle so much I got a 2nd bottle and used it up. I often wished I could readily find fresh burdock in my local grocery stores. Most stores now carry dandelion leaves..maybe burdock will be next. Love, Prism

I don't think the failure for some people to thrive on all raw foods is necessarily due to not eating anything cooked. It has more to do with the limited raw foods they eat and or perhaps the fact that eating a lot of fresh ripe sweet fruits may be a culprit. I base that surmise since I watched the above video in my first post. You know..I'd have to watch that vid again myself and maybe take note

I should have said too about Dr. Leonard Coldwell is that I am a skeptic in much of what he has to say. One thing is I never heard before is that table salt is 1/3 sand, 1/3 glass, and 1/3 salt. He goes on to say how detrimental the sand is to our bodies. So, if you take a look at his video be a healthy skeptic. But it is interesting to view. Love, Prism

The last part of your last sentence Powerlifer, "just keep within your caloric guidelines if weight gain is a problem", is something that the video addresses as to other causes of weight gain. My original raw food diet when I lost the 71 lbs. included other foods and green juices..not just whole fruits. I had classic gout before the raw food diet (many other health issues too) and t

I'd like to see whatever kinds of tests they could do to see how healthy a person who has recently undergone one of the long term juice fasts (30 days or more) is with regard to their liver, and also uric acid levels. I also ate lots of fruits when I first went raw and I lost 71 lbs. and felt great. Whole fruits have all the fiber and nutrients unlike juice. The video just raised some questio

"Sugar: The bitter truth", by Dr. Robert Lustig I just came across this interesting video about what is making us fat as a general population. Essentially (as much as my limited knowledge permits) I understand the premise of above video that fructose by itself without the accompanying fiber as in the whole fruit and sucrose as in white sugar is what is making us fat and sick.

Looks like this is not something many people use anymore by the lack of replies. You could try looking at curezone.com for more info. on that subject..it's bound to be there somewhere. You could also try the rub and then post about your experience. What if I may ask, are you using the castor oil rubs for specifically. Love, Prism

I recently watched a movie about Dr. Burzynski and his cancer treatments with his patented Antineoplastons. Has to do with his discovery of people without cancer had something in their blood that people with cancer did not have. Something to do with Peptides and Amino Acids. I can't find out why some people have this and some people don't, or how to find out if one has them or not, and if not

Try researching what Iodine can do especially during pregnancy. If you don't like the idea of taking Iodine supplements (if you take prenatal vits make sure to find out if and how much Iodine they contain) you could eat more seafoods like dried seaweeds in salads, or as snacks. Congrats! Love, Prism

I don't think it's that easy really, just say no to salt and yes to lots of celery. I believe it has more to do with what you don't put in your body and not what you do put in. Some people like to think that food is medicine and I don't really think that's the case so much. If what you ate everyday acted like the medicine of how we've come to think of it as that wouldn't be very healthful

Geez...this used to be a place one could get actual support when one asked for it from like minded people. Now it's full of contentious opinions and while I don't mind if it's a thread for that reason but this was a thread simply to have a simple little juice fast and some like minded company. I'd say keep your adverse opinions to yourselves on a thread like this..it's not welcomed. I've d

When I first went raw I had a lot of health issues, including high blood pressure. I visited an ND instead of a Dr. and she treated it with a homeopath remedy while I lost weight, walked a lot, juiced greens, and ate all raw and then very high raw. I lost 60 lbs. the first 6 months, and a total of 71 lbs. in a years time. My blood pressure went down. I was fine for about 3 years, then things h

That's a great place to be Panchito..happy and satisfied with your state of health. I'm aiming for that again. Had it, then lost it..working on getting back to that state of health. My 2nd day now and I've juiced 4 oranges to start my morning. I had a headache in middle of night and I did take an aspirin..then I slept really well. I also had taken 2 charcoal capsules a few hours before to help

I like a 3 day fast to get off to a clean start with doing a higher percentage of raw if not 100% raw. Perhaps when one is near perfection than a fast could be detrimental but I'm hardly that. When I end my juice fast I plan on being all raw and having my daily green juice and or smoothies once again. My fast has officially begun. Love, Prism

I love cast iron cookware. All you have to to is 'season' it when brand new. Oil it lightly and stick in 350 degree oven for an hour. That's all there is to that. Maybe once a year do it again. After you clean it, with whatever you like, just smear some olive oil on the inside and that's all. Sorry Coco..I don't know of which kind of 'green' pans you are asking about. I like ceramic or glas
