Eat more fibrous fruit - apples, pears, peaches, apricots, plums. At least 3-5 pieces per day.
Something that works for me is an apple sauce with greens in it: put apples and/or pears in the cuisinart with a handful of greens (parsley, cilantro, kale, etc.), blend and eat.

212. Re: mucoid plaque...
Anaken,
You're still projecting all sorts of meanings and implications into my posts that aren't there.
All I was referring to was the statements of the Robert Grays of the world selling psyllium-type cleanses:
These people state as fact that 95% of the population has a buildup in their colons, sometimes 'as hard and black as a piece of old hardened rubber' and up to 1/2" thick

213. Re: mucoid plaque...
Anaken,
Thanks for the comment about reading what you wrote. Ironically, if you actually read what I wrote, you would see that I was not commenting on the value of diet or cleansing, just on the notion of whether or not 'mucoid plaque' exists. In my opinion it does not. The so-called mucoid plaque is the buildup of psyllium and cleansing products that bulk up in the colon during some peoples'

214. Re: My theory
I believe that much of the SAD diet is poison, just not at all suitable as food. Once you eliminate the non-food, of course health improves.
It may be that 100% raw is not ideal for you at all times. It can sometimes be hard on weak digestions. Or it may be that what and how you are eating on 100% needs some fine-tuning.

See my post earlier in this thread about my nurse friend who worked in the Operating Room and giving colonscopies for decades and saw only healthy pink tissue on the inside of the colon (unless there was disease). Even with disease, she never saw anything like mucoid plaque.

DJ and anakan,
Read David's and Fruitarian's posts again. They are not suggesting that you do a mono diet, just stating that it suits them. They're describing their experience, not prescribing something for you.
Notice the difference in their focus from yours: You are thinking about the optimum diet; they are listening to their bodies, being present with what feels right moment to moment.

I've posted this before....I have a friend who has worked in the operating room of a major hospital in Iowa. She's also worked for a gastroenterologist doing colonoscopies. This woman has seen the inside of many many colons and has never seen anything like mucoid plaque. She says the colons are pink and healthy looking, except for the rare instances of growths etc., which do not look like mucoid

heather wrote (quoting her daughter):
"I wish everyone in the world ate only raw food, because then i wouldn't have to sneak..."
Oh, my, how sad that is. That shows such guilt for the little one. This has obviously become a big issue in your family.
As to your question, "Am I too controlling", my rule of thumb is, if someone asks that question, they probably are ;^D.

You can fast if you want to lose some muscle and lower your metabolism so you are more likely to gain weight afterwards. IMHO fasting is a great periodic detox but not so good for losing weight.
You look healthy and fit, not at all fat. If you want to lose weight, eat anything (raw) you like for a week and write it all in a diary. At the end of the week you likely will have lost some weight.

The dentist I used had been a holistic dentist for ~15 years when I saw him. Pragmatic guy - he said many of his patients saws dramatic differences (cessation of MS symptoms, more energy, etc.) but than many saw no benefit at all. He did not advocate wholesale removing of amalgam.
He also had me test for materials. There's a lab, you send your blood and they send back a list of materials that

Connie Boo,
According to the manufacturer, NCD zeolite has been activated or purified to get rid of some naturally occurring toxins. I don't know if this is true or not, I haven't tried other zeolites, I've just used the NCD and had excellent results.

Has anyone had exerience with the Cellerciser compared to the Needak and Urban Rebounder? The Cellerciser claims they have better springs: that their rebounder is truly low/no impact and others actually bottom out and have impact and can cause injury.

232. Re: Dentist
If you have silver fillings in your teeth, the best way to take the zeolite is to put the drops in a glass of water, take a large sip of water, swish it about in your mouth for a good while and then spit it out. This (hopefully) will get rid of the free mercury in your mouth for the time being.
Then drink the rest of the water without swishing it in your mouth.

I felt a lot better once I had my silver/mercury fillings removed. They are NOT safe. The office staff at the holistic dentist I went to said some of their patients were in wheelchairs when they started the removal process and were able to walk after they were finished. (Some people did not notice any change, though.)
The same dentists that say amalgam is safe have a toxic waste bin in their t

Zeolite is a naturally occuring mineral formed when lava meets seawater. It has a honey-comb structure that traps toxins, heavy metals, and impurities.
Zeolite has a long history of animal and industrial use for this type of detox. The company that sells it claims they have 'activated' it to remove any naturally occuring toxins. It also helps alkalinize the body.

llulu,
I agree with Cecelia. What stands out about your post has nothing to do with diet and everything to do with the relationship.
You have to decide what kind of support you want from your husband and have a talk with him. Marriage is about respect, support and mutuality, whether it comes to diet, going to the movies, raising a family, or anything.

I sell zeolite. You can email me off-list about it if you like. It's sold through a multilevel company and I'm in the organization with Gabriel Cousens and Mike Snyder. I hate multilevel but I really like the product and have had excellent health benefits from it.
About the dentist: Find another one. Don't go to someone who is still using silver, it's 50% mercury. Yes, she's right the silver

Sounds great to me.
The quickest and most complete way to release the anger (or any emotion) is to let yourself notice the energy/feel of it and just allow it to release. The less you get into your head (i.e. who am I angry at, why, etc.) the quicker it will pass through. It's just energy and if you don't try to clamp it down, repress, defend, justify, explain or understand it, it will dissol

I have a small place and prepare food just for myself. I bought the 9-tray and replaced it with the 5 tray because the 9 tray model has a larger fan and it was very noisy.
If I had a large enough place I would definitely have the 9 tray model. But I live in a small space and the rooms all open into each other. So I could hear the thing in my bedroom.

Thanks Rawgetarian! Rawg sent me some free Prilling beads and I really like them. I've been drinking water treated with them for about 2-3 days now. I don't see a difference in my health yet, but I really really REALLY like the water. I find myself drinking more. I feel it's a very positive thing and appreciate your sending them for free.
