yes, I had severe bipolar and was hospitalized for most of my 20's. some dr's diagnosed me schizo. not sure what it was, but I'm off all my meds for two years now and managing. raw food has contributed greatly to this stability. Actually, I know I could not have done it without raw : )

2. Re: Insomnia
Is your sleep restless or are you just needing less sleep? Do you wish during the day that you had slept better? I ask b/c some raw food eaters just find that they need less sleep. Since going raw, I only need about 4 or 5 hours most nights. Everyone is different : )
good luck

I can't eat prepared raw either, never have.....nausea central.
I get my cals from green smoothies, fruit and avos when I'm in the mood.
good luck!

I've taken zeolites before with garlic extract....resonating with stuff is part of our body's wisdom...so, If you're feeling it- go for it and don't worry too much about detox symptoms

I would just start with the raw transition and listen to what your body is needing. Or at least, that's been my way of approaching the whole deal , This past spring and summer was spent transitioning to about %95 raw. I was happy there. Then about a month ago I switched to all blended raw and it was great....now as of last week I'm only juicing and loving it. Good Luck!

My body gains/loses fat from the belly area in direct proportion to how much sugary fruit I eat....bananas and dates, etc. For some reason over doing fats goes to a different spot...I only eat these sugary items when I'm excercising aerobically.

kudos to rawdancer!
pakd4fun, I hear you with the cooked food. I had some yesterday and was in bed with what felt like the flu for the rest of the night. I haven't told anyone b/c most just tell me it's psychsomatic which bothers me more than it should.

I forgot to state my motivation and goals. I've been increasing my rawness for about 8months now....spiraling around with it...learning about stuffing my emotions and tendencies towards self crticism, etc. Now pretty much in celebration mode. My primary goal is radiance and living my life rather than hiding from it. I find that although I'm ok with the idea of being 80-90% raw, I feel sort of sta

steak with peanut butter and horseradish sauce. I hated to eat meat and my parents insisted, so I would smear on PB and the really hot horseradish (not the mayo kind).....it got to be so that I loved it this way and continued to even request it in restaurants as an adult (great first date impressions! )...good thing I'm vegan now....another dilema solved

I don't mind being around cooked food and get kind of irritated when my friends pretend it's complicated to find a place where we can eat together.....I mean, salad isn't that huge a requirement! I can even deal with iceberg lettuce, if it comes down to it ! I've noticed that most people in my life tend to emphasize my choice as something different and an obstacle or complication. I usually have

26. Re: detox
the more fats you eat, the slower the detox....it's up to you, really....if you mix in days of juicing, you'll speed up the process even more.

hi applebaby
congradulations for going raw!
If you have truly eliminated all non raw foods, without even the smallest amount and are not overdoing the fats, you body should detox itself quite rapidly on its own! Some people even start detox at 80 or %90 raw and then increase the raw amount as they can handle the sypmtoms of clean out.....sounds like that's not an issue for you though.
