Sorry, powerlifter, I should be more careful of my wording.
What I meant was:
If your adrenal glands don't produce enough aldosterone, then your body will do the opposite of what most people's bodies do: it will dump sodium and hold onto potassium. When I did the 80-10-10, I felt very sick and weak. I had stopped eating salt, and was eating large amounts of high-potassium fruit. Since I

I have gotten great advice from powerlifter. He has healed himself from adrenal problems and is extremely generous in sharing what he has learned. He has taken the time with me (via private messaging), a complete stranger, to help me heal my own problems. No charge. I am taking the herbs he recommended and have changed my lifestyle such that I may heal like he has. He is an inspiration to me

Hi Tamukha,
Thank you for your very kind words! Reading your post makes me happy
I've found it to be cathartic and therapeutic telling my story here, and I appreciate you for e-listening and giving your kind feedback.
Thanks again,
Mindy

Prana,
Forgive me if I am taking your post too personally...
I did not mean "cure" but "help". I am not trying to dissuade people in general from doing the 811. I am just trying to get the word out to those who have adrenal problems that the 811 will not help them. Doug Graham has said that fasting can help with adrenal problems. I have fasted, and it did help my ast

durianrider:
I got sick with adrenal problems when I was 15. This was shortly after having cancer and going through radiation treatments, I picked up a virus because my immune system was weakened from the treatments, and the virus triggered the adrenal problem - that is often how it starts (with a viral infection). At 15, I could barely get out of bed, and taking a shower was exhausting. My

Powerlifter,
Thank you. I can tell you understand, it has been horrible. I would be very interested in learning about the adaptogenic herbs you used. Would you mind giving that information in a post or if not, a private message? How much did you take? Will b5 supplements work as well as the bee pollen? How long did it take for you to notice a difference?

If your chronic fatigue is actually due to severe adrenal fatigue, the 80-10-10 diet will not help you. Even Doug Graham has said this on his boards. I found it while searching for answers a year ago. I didn't save the link, maybe someone else can find it. I did the 80-10-10 diet for 3 months two summers ago when I had a lot of free time to rest and/or exercise as needed. I hadn't yet figure

Are you eating a lot of cilantro?
My iron levels were higher than "allowed" while I was eating a lot of cilantro. Cilantro is a known heavy metal chelator, so I thought it might be the cause. When I stopped eating cilantro my iron levels were normal again.
I am a 27-year vegetarian and a female who regularly menstruates, so it didn't make sense that I would have a problem with t

Paul,
What a great list! Thanks for sharing. I am particularly intrigued by the tone therapy, and will check out the website.
It was 14 years ago that I was searching the internet for tinnitus cures, funny how ginkgo is no longer mentioned. I would test it to make sure I wasn't just "imagining" that it was helping. I would stop taking it, and sure enough the tinnitus would wor

10. Re: tenitus
I've had tinnitus for the last 15 years. The only thing that has helped it is taking ginkgo biloba. Ginkgo biloba reduced the volume by about half, and made it much easier to live with. I was a 100% raw food vegan for 2 and 1/2 years, and love raw foods and the benefits, but it did not help with the tinnitus. I did two extended water fasts, 3 and 1/2 weeks each, one year apart - this cured my

Rawgosia,
You look so much better in the after photos! The improvement in your skin tone is amazing! I am a woman of a similar age as you, and have loved going to your website in the past to look at all your pictures -- it gives me a lot of hope about how raw foods can make your face look so much younger and fresher, even if you are in the middle years of life.

Well, since we're talking about celery soup... Have I got a great celery soup recipe! I loved this during my transition period, and still have it every once in a while. If anybody makes it, let me know what you think.
Sesame seed milk (see recipe below)
3 cups chopped organic celery
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon agave nectar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Celtic sea salt to taste if desired

I've never used more than 2 of the dehydrator trays at a time in my 9-tray model. I've made big batches of crackers, and dehydrated large amounts of kale. So, my guess is you could easily do multiple recipes at one time. The trays are really big.

14. Re: blood test
In addition to the iron test, get your ferritin levels checked: this tells how much iron is stored in your body, rather than just how much iron there is in your blood.

15. Re: Chapped lips
If you are eating foods with high-water content (which it sounds like you are if you are only eating 8% fat) and you are dehydrated (that's what chapped lips usually mean) then you might be low on sodium.
That happened to me on the 80-10-10. I couldn't figure it out for the longest time - how could I be consuming so much water (in the form of fruits and vegetables) and still be so dehydrated?

Hi Mimi,
Sorry, I spelled it wrong - fluorine is just fluoride.
I agree with you on the ventolin, I was amazed at how quickly my asthma abated after just enduring a few asthma attacks without reaching for the asthma pipe right away.
Your breathing problem sounds very frightening, I feel for you. I hope you are able to figure it out. I think with adrenal problems, raw foods alone is not

Hi mimi,
I was an asthmatic for over 20 years - I used my inhaler atleast 12 times a day and would go through one inhaler each month. It was a battle dealing with my asthma doctors because they did not like to prescribe so many inhalers and would try to get me on other medicines. At one point I was ordering inhalers from online pharmacies just so I would have enough.
I have been health-co
