I do not have any studies to back up my belief in natural products. There are a plethora of studies that show wrinkle reduction, pigmentation decrease, collagen synthesis, etc. of artificial products - But they do not talk about the long-term risks involved in using such products. I do, however, have a lot of experience with products and have seen results in other people. No - Nothing w

I forgot to mention that I really like MyChelle products - They are super clean and treatment oriented - So they help with wrinkles, collagen loss, pigmentation, free radical damage, acne. But of course what you eat is the most important factor related to good skin....
I also mentioned earlier that I love to cleanse with olive oil and lemon - Now I throw a squirt of honey into the mix - Even b

OK. I thought I would post in this thread because I am really struggling. Since the fast, I have done nothing but eat my brains out - On crap. My body and mind know that this is the wrong thing. But I have this last feast mentality and each night I say - Just one more night of every food I remotely like - And then I go nuts and eat everything I can think of - Like over 10,000 calories - I wish I

I totally agree with quietgrrrl. It is way overly simplistic to say that eating disorders are caused by the media. I actually think that this more often is not the case than it is the case. I, for example, have been a waif my whole life. And compulsive overeating certainly had nothing to do with attaining any sort of ideal. Many women use food as an emotional lover, satisfying needs that they are

I have struggled with compulsive overeating my whole adult life. The only time I have in fact had reprieve from this has been during short stints of raw. I believe it is for several reasons that I find relief. One, I am honoring my body with whole foods, my nutritional needs are being met, and I do not have physiologically based cravings. Two, psychologically, it draws a line in the sand - I simp

So my dad is very conservative in general and is skeptical about my dietary choices regarding raw foods - Especially since the ideas I embrace are what might be described as fruitarian. Does anyone have a great and scientifically based Website that might help him undertand my choices?

161. Re: Yeast on Skin
Such great suggestions. I did throw out the medications the doctor gave me. And, although I generally do not put anything on my body, I am using a lovely Sea Buckthorn body oil from Weleda - It just feels super nourishing and healing. Aside from that, cleaning up the diet and getting back to raw, and believing that in time it will heal. I will try some of the wonderful therapies suggested in this

I wash my skin with a combination of olive oil and fresh lemon juice. I then tone with a solution of lemon juice and rose water. I then put goat yogurt on my face as a mask - Leave it on for 15 minutes. I then rinse and use a wonderful but pricey natural moisturizer called Skingenic. And then sunscreen. My skin is amazing - On my face that is....

Wow. So many wonderful tips. And a lot of questions.
I actually have changed heart since I posted this message. I think I figured it out. The truth is that I have not experienced hunger in years. Even breaking the fast, I felt no hunger at all - And I could have fasted a lot longer had boredom not gotten the best of me. And weight concerns. At 5'9" and 102 pounds upon completion, I did no

I just want to say that I am touched and encouraged by your attitudes. Rather than be judgemental, one-sided, or dogmatic, you all simply embrace whatever my path happens to me even if it looks different from what you might consider the ideal. That is beautiful. A lot of the other raw food websites no longer appeal to me because the participants seem to have lost perspective. I am warmed by your

OK. So after 22 days of fasting, I still hate fruit. The refeeding process was horrible. Fruit still looks and tastes disgusting to me. And the only foods that truly appeal to me are yogurt, fish, wild game, and soup. Raw food simply holds no appeal to me - And my body never has seemed to thrive on it. I do not feel fed on a physical or soul level eating lots of fruit - In fact it feels completel

Dear Arugula:
Hello. I just wanted to check in with you again regarding sunscreen. I have ordered LRP fluide extreme mexoryl and am awaiting it. I do feel a bit conflicted still. All of my other skin care products are toxin free at this point. I do believe in sun damage and its effects - Hyperpigmentation is a really big problem for me. So, in all of your studies, is there any indication that

Intuition is overwhelmed by vanity right now. The dance video I am shooting is highly exposed - And I cannot have all of this gunk all over my back and chest....Intuition says let it work itself out. Vanity says kill it with the cream or whatever it takes!

169. Yeast on Skin
Yes. So I am back from my fast and went to a dermatologist due to a rash on my chest and back that was prolific and resembled acne - And threatened to scar. He diagnosed it as skin yeast - Which doesn't suprise me given my 11 year history of candida - My body was cleansing. But I do want to get rid of it due to concerns of scarring and my upcoming participation in a dance video. He prescribed top

OK. I am sure the filter is fine. I am indeed just used to distilled water with no flavor whatsoever. So it most likely is just an adjustment. Thank you for your responses.

To answer your questions. I am refeeding for 6 days prior to going home. So 22 days of fasting and 6 of eating fruit. So I will still be pretty weak upon returning but not totally spent.
In terms of preparation - It would have been wise. However, I was actually caught in a very self destructive cycle of overeating and was going hog wild on crappy food. So the preparation I did involved doughn

OK. So I am ending a day early. I cannot take it anymore. I have lost almost 24 pounds. Am experiencing genuine hunger at this point. And do not want to leave here so weak that the airport kills me.

First of all. I just got the aquasana home filter for my sink - Thinking that the minerals lost in distilled water were very important. The water tastes yucky and dirty. Does anyone have this filter? Do you think it is adequate for supplying clean water? Also, are Vitamineral Green and Nature's First Food the same thing - The labels seem identical....

Dear Bryan:
Wow! I have learned so much. The most important thing I have learned is that life is not near as frightening as I hitherto had imagined it to be. When you are still, really still, when you are with yourself for that period of time, you realize that it all really is quite simple. I feel more confidence than I ever have. And I feel fearless and joyful about the future that awaits me.

I did not drink anything other than water. The point is to let your body devote ALL of its energy towards healing. And, no, I have not experienced hunger. Today is day 21 - And I honestly hope that I feel ready to eat in two days. My body is cleaning out still and I am definitely still in a pretty intense healing mode.

The place is called Tanglewood Wellness Center. It is run by Loren Lockman. He knows a lot about raw food nutrition and natural healing. The place does promote fruitarianism - Much like Doug Graham - So if you are not amenable to eating fruit upon refeeding I do not recommend it. However, if your mind is open and you want to heal through fasting, it is a great option. That being said
