Lizard, Thats awesome. I guess fresh fruits is the best thig for sweet tooth... But please be careful, it is very cleansing. So she may have to do it real slow, gradually raise the % of fruit. All fruit for even a few days can create a severe cleansing reaction. I had everything you can imagine - severa colds - like I thought I was going to suffocate, serious cough, rashes that literally baked an

I had severe runs when I started green smoothies. I think they are very cleansing. You may have to slow it down with some vegetables etc., fruit/greens will cleanse you so fast.
I fasted for two to thee days and then the stomach problems went away. Before the fast, I had to go 6 or 7 times. It is nothing but a severe cleansing reaction. Plus it is new fiber and the body is adjusting to that..

I am glad to hear that he wants to be healthier. Fresh fruit salad and vegetable salads. Use spices that he can tolerate to add flavor and make it look and smell good and appetizing... he may start enjoying them and then you will not have to use spices after. I know a teenager who did just that. he would use a lot of spices, then he reduced teh spices and after his taste adjusted to raw, he didn'

Yes, I also understood that white blood cell count should not be high. Are you talking about total Blood count/ Differential count? I am not sure. In any case, the body has to heal the infection. complete rest of teh digestive system will let teh body do its job. Just my opinion.

My opinion also same as fresh's. Give the body the rest it is demanding in teh form of arthritis , the body heals itself. Water fast if possible does wonders. Juice fating if water fasting is not possible.
Just my thoughts.

Dear all,
I wanted to ask you if you buy organic fruits and veg or just conventional?
Right now we buy non-organic regular fruits and vegetables but I want to change that.
But cost is the main concern... There is no farmers market near where I live, so can't get for cheap. I have whole foods and sun flower market, but I am wondering what this will cost:

I don't count calories. I eat when I am hungry and what I like (mostly fruits). However I do eat a very tiny cooked meal and I do count calories there. But in raw food, I don't count calories - some times I eat a lot of fruit, other days I don't feel like eatung any fruit and just have some smoothies etc., It depends...

Dear all,
I wanted to ask you how often and for how long (every time) do you exercise. I know that it depends on our age, weight etc., But how do you all find time to exercise.
Here's what I do: I go to the gym twice a week Monday and Friday and workout for an hour each time. On wednesday I do yoga at home. I think this is not enough as I still have tight muscles etc., and feel great when I

I know soices are not the best food additives, but just to create more varieties I tried these and loved them. If you can tolerate sipces, you can try these. Disregard if you can't tolerate spices.

Dear all,
I wanted to tell you about how my own perspective has changed... In the recent past:
I used to think that food has no connection to illness. Used to believe that germs are the only cause of illnesses. No matter what any one said about food, I resisted and just kept doing my usual things. Got pretty sick. Still didn't do anything.
Until I went raw..
Then I started to think

In my parents house in India wgere I was born and grew up, there were 7 coconut trees, we used to have coconut water all the time. But we were so sick of them at that time because we saw them and had them daily. After a while I didn't have them at all. Now I crave them a lot. They are so delicious. Straight from the tree, no fertilizer no chemicals nothing.
I miss that...

90. Re: A Confession
Thats very nice of you.. Whats done is in the past and can be cleared out of conciousness by using meditation, visualizationsd and asking the universe for forgiveness. Your post reminds me that I should do teh same (although I have been a vegetarian since birth, but I have had dairy until I started raw).
Many Thanks to you for this message.
