Mislu - I was just wondering the same thing about those watercress roots! Let me know how yours comes along. I have been putting some in my morning smoothie, and I really like it.

32. Re: Alcohol abuse

hey Brian, just an idea - not sure if you can take some time away from where you are - but perhaps if you went to some sort of raw retreat center or even hook up with a restaurant where you were surrounded by supportive raw people, and away from temptations of alcohol? You could offer some sort of work exchange for staying there? Obviously, I don't know your health or emotional triggers, but

33. Thanks to David Z - convential produce

I checked your site out Dave, and I have to say one of those points on your list of FAQs hit me like a ton of bricks and led me to a huge realization, so I wanted to say thank you. Basically, your point #28, you say it's ok to eat the convential produce. While I logically understood that, and eat it time and again at restaurants, for example, I was the Organic Police to myself. I would go to

39. Re: Adrenals?

hey David and Context! thank you kindly for your responses! Love both of your wisdom/images - thank you for sharing I never usually want a name to "what I have" because it is transitory and fleeting anyhow IMO - I guess I got hung up because I wasn't used to feeling so awful. And I've been at the 75% raw for several years now, so figured it wasn't detox. I am not a fan of

40. Adrenals?

hi wise ones, It's been 5 wks since I had the flu and I continue to feel the worst I ever felt in my life. I can't do half of what I did - working out, even after 1 minute leaves my legs shaking and me wanting to cry. Prior to the flu I was raw for about 13 days. (usually had at least 75% living foods in my diet before that) After those around me got the bug, I knew it was more than detox.

41. Re: body temp dropping

fyi, i ate a little cooked and it was right for me to do so. I can function now, and after a week of missing work, I need to function. That 94 temp really made me shakey, emotional, comotose and not a safe driver. I need to eliminate the rest of the flu symptoms too and take each day as it comes. funny thing is, for the first time I don't feel like I failed, I feel like a bit of cook was part

good idea about seaveggies. today it dropped to 94.6 and I am very dizzy. I might eat a bit of cooked, this flu and detox might be going too fast. But i won't feel guilty, I just want to see what what temp does.

Blue nails would freak me out Mira! I wonder if it could be something else nutritionally for you? You have probably already addressed that though.

44. Re: The Thrive Diet book

I used his powder supplement (Vega) for some time a few months ago when I was eating "naughty vegetarian". His company was really helpful when I had some questions. I am sure it was not all raw, but I knew of his interest and respect for the raw lifestyle. He also has lectured at raw restaurants, so has an affinity for it.

46. Re: body temp dropping

that makes sense! I was just googling the calorie restriction idea as that was my theory. And I am not going to go out in the snowstorm, lest I risk hypothermia today I like your point about the normal averages being applicable to SAD diets. It's exactly like when they tell my boyfriend (SAD eater) his cholesterol is not "that bad" and it's still in a normal area.

47. body temp dropping

I did see the other post about body temps of raw foodists being lower, so this might be applicable, but didn't know if there was a need for concern. My fever from the flu (and detox) just broke last night, after 5 days, and my temp has been going down from 97.4 to 96.4 now in the late afternoon. I haven't felt cold today - in fact it was the first day I had some energy, but not much appetite

hi Greenpower! thank you kindly for taking the time to take the picture! that's wonderful. Of course, nothing is growing here, and we are having a snowstorm currently. I wonder if I can order the seeds somewhere for this. Then, I would ask you for instructions on how to use it.

hi Arugula, that's interesting because I did eliminate wheat and corn last fall, and other typical allergens. I know how to go thru the elimination diet so I will keep that in mind. However, the good news is I woke up today with no asthma

Since I am stuck with the meds, they'll be there if I want to take them. The thing that irked me anyhow, is that it

I bought a big bag of raw brazil nuts only to get the same reaction you outlined, along with wheezing. However, there were some happy squirrels in my yard after that. Have you tried raw almonds? you mentioned you eat cooked nuts. Maybe after some mono eating try some raw ones by themselves? good luck.
