Hi Wendi,
In the past few years, I have done a few short and a few long fasts. My longest water fast was 23 days, and my longest master cleanse 39 days. The only piece of advice I have is consider a daily salt water flush. It takes a little bit of getting used to, and you probably won't believe this until you try, but it makes the whole experience a lot more pleasant. I'm talking about a fast

Is it any different if you drink a huge amount of water? The few headaches I ever get often go away if I drink a lot of water.

This post has made me think about my own life. As most people who have tried 100% raw for at least a few months probably know, diet is a huge factor of how you feel. It is, however, not the only one. Hellokitty, you and I may have something in common: We might both be doing the wrong thing for our health when it comes to our job. I am strapped into my cubicle all day taking abuse for a livin

If you point your media player to you can listen to whale songs live. I have never really looked for human artists who tried to compile or modify whale songs.

Why do you think you are missing something? It takes about 10 or 15 minutes to eat several hundred calories' worth of bananas.

Transitioning from a lot of nuts and oils (100% raw) to a diet consisting of almost exclusively fruits and vegetables, no oils, and hardly any nuts was like going raw all over: For several days, up to weeks, I felt weak or almost sick occasionally, until my body got used to it. Just the other day, while driving, I ate about 3 ounces of nuts (on an empty stomach), and I felt like I couldn't eat an

Assuming you are asking whether or not it is Cyanocobalamin, I would be willing to bet that it is Cyanocobalamin. Why would they spend more on a better form of B12 and then not advertise it as such?

I used to water fast every Saturday; I also did several longer water fasts: 9 days, 8 days, 23 days, 21 days. For those timeframes, it felt very similar to a master cleanse. However, I did a 39 day master cleanse once, and after about 4 to 5 weeks, I noticed a whole new level of peace and contentment. Since I never did a water fast that long, I wouldn't know if it may have been the same on water.

13. Re: Good News!
Fortunately high fructose corn syrup is just as sweet, even cheaper, and only slightly more deadly than sugar. I love it when it all seems to fall into place.
It's like the food pyramid, which used to be 70% grains, and just as the food industry has perfected methods to process most of the "grains" into meat or candy, nutritional scientists suddenly discover that we should eat only 4

From my personal experience, I have no doubt that fasting can accelerate a "cleansing process" to at least about 5 times the speed you would experience on raw foods, possible more. You also have to be sensitive and courageous enough to listen to your body on raw foods. It may tell you not to eat anything for a few days or just eat an orange a day, in essence asking for an aggressive cle

I first went 100% raw right after my wife had left me. To this day I believe that one of the main reasons I was able to follow through with it was that I felt so bad from the situation that any detox symptoms didn't really matter much at the time. I wasn't even worried about calories, vitamins, etc. I went more by the premise that what mainstream scientists preach, obviously leads to less than de

Rob:
That is an awsome story. My perspective on it is as follows: People, especially your children, tend to do what they see you do, not necessarily what you tell them to do. By eating 100% raw yourself and representing living proof of the benefits, you will influence them more than by what you say to them.

We may be overcomplicating things here. I believe the (sad) truth is that all we (and science) really know is:
Refined substances are not healthy foods.
Raw, whole foods promote health.
The bulk of the "unfoods" currently being consumed is made of refined flour, refined sugar, and high fructose corn syrup. Therefore it is a correct statement that most of the nutritional damage

Protein is contained in spirulina, goji berries, really all whole foods. You may want to check out what Tim VanOrden has to say about what he calls the protein myth.
I soak mung beans in warm (but not hot) water for 8 to 36 hours, then drain them and eat them. You can sprout them for several days, using simple or complicated methods, but I find they taste best when they are just starting to sp

To overcome a salt addiction, you could try eating half an avocado with dulse every day for a few days and then switching to half an avocado with lemon. I have been doing this, and I eat thin slices of the entire lemon including the rind, but only the soft part of the avocado (no peel or pit).

Look up raw athletes such as Tim VanOrden or durianrider. When you first go raw, you are expected to lose weight and even feel less than optimal for a few weeks or month as the body gets rid of the old, inferior material made from damaged (cooked) protein. Then you can start building new muscle made from raw foods.

sexymama25,
This may not be what you want to hear, but I want to address a few of your points:
Rather than trying to lose weight, you may want to consider surrounding yourself with different people. There is only one thing I, for example, find more attractive than a heavy, voluptuos, succulent woman, and that would be a raw woman.
On the flip side, I have always been very thin. I could

I once spent an entire summer in Florida without drinking anything Sunday through Friday every week. No juice, no water, no gasoline, no solid helium, no fluids whatsoever. I would walk the beach for hours every day. On Saturdays I would eat nothing, but drink water.

The fact that you don't feel good and crave cooked foods when you spend a few days on 100% raw foods is NOT an indication that raw foods are not good for you. I am being sincere and not trying to tease you or make a joke, but if you would, please consider this proposition:
If a heroin addict has to spend a week without heroin, there would be some pain, weakness, all sorts of signs that this p

Any vegetable that has seeds or would have seeds in its original, natural form is a fruit. This includes tomatoes, cucumbers, avocados.
Buckwheat is pretty good in its sprouted form. I used to mix it with bananas and coconuts and used that dish as a replacement for something I used to eat, where I would mix oats (where they take the whole grain, kill it somehow so it won't sprout, and then rol

Just in case anyone is interested in finding out more about the scam SuperInfinity is talking about, there is a pretty good article out there called "I want the Earth plus 5 percent." I only mention this because it was my interest in exactly how people on this planet are currently being exploited which led me to this website and thereby got me started on raw foods years ago.

"Fit" is apparently in the eye of the beholder. Personally I would not consider a woman of average height who weighing less than 150 pounds very "fit" or attractive. I realize I'm going against the propaganda that is forced our way on a daily basis, but don't we all to some extent?

If I am not mistaken, African Americans have about twice the risk of many types of cancer and vascular disease compared to white Americans. I believe this means our genes have adapted to a certain degree to cooked foods: The ancestors of white Americans had thousands of years on a cooked diet, whereas the ancestors of African Americans had only a couple of hundred.
