Purser, it's just grand how well you are doing with your Greenpeachy fast! I too think that all you have to do is read LV to get the best testimonial for how gjf will release your repressed poetry and perceptiveness.
All nuts and seeds are acid-forming except for almonds, so when you do snack on nuts, can you make it almonds? They are not huge alkalizers but will tip the system slightly that w

I worry about alkalizing my distilled water, too. Prilling beads are supposedly re-usable "beads" that you can place in your water and leave for a while and they will alkalize the water to 7-9 pH without any additives, inorganic minerals, etc. You can use them in a bath as well. Only one business that I am aware of sells them, and I don't know of any independent person who has measured

Before you plan on going 80-10-10 for long term, check out some negative real-life experiences. Here's a link (bear in mind that the person who recommends eating animals has gone overboard in the opposite direction - that is the primary shame of 8-1-1, that people eventually get so sick on it that they think they need to eat animals to correct the damage done - it's a vicious trajectory!

I've decided that the reason this "cold" bothers me so much is that I actually _am_ constantly communicating with my body minute by minute, sounding it, and with a cold it is like trying to type with boxing gloves.

Wow, Purser, you are doing so awesomely. It helps to have a theory - so you can ride out the aches and headaches because you know what it's all about. I think it's great that you are doing this day-by-day. Part of Greenpeach's original mission was to be very loving and caring of self, and I think that's the taking-carest-of-yourself thing you can do with this fast, is promise your body and emotio

By the way, there is only one person asserting that "fats cause candidiasis", and that is Graham. His science is faulty, and his assertions that "candida overgrowth goes away after a few days fruitarian" is a lie. What does that possibly mean? Has he tested candida levels and done blood cell analysis in people with candidiasis before and after a few days fruit-eating? (I have.

Some people say their candida has gone away once they went raw or once they went fruitarian. Mine got worse as a fruitarian. I took diagnostic stool analyses recently before and after re-going fruitarian, and the yeast loved all that fresh, organic, water-rich fruit I was eating.

Hmm...yes. Interesting.
These warm "global warming" winters we're all having - it would be cool if the upshot is that "bugs" don't get killed off and they get so mighty and powerful that they kill all the people who caused global warming in the first place - if the tsunamis, floods, and ice-caps melting don't drown them first.
But it is heartening, what you say. Should I

Purser, it sounds to me as if you are a perfect example of the fasting rule that the worse you feel fasting, the more you need to be doing it!
Remember that it is not lack of solids itself making you feel like @#$%&, it is the toxins that the break from solids is releasing that are making you feel that way. Releasing toxins is good - ha ha!

Sounds as if you are doing simply splendidly, Purser. Enemas and colonics can be tremendously inspiring. Don't mind telling us the @#$%& scoop - I should think most raw-foodists are used to such things. I know I am not squeamish about it in the least.
I suppose I must have thought candida was microscopic - in itself - but what we see are colonies - millions of them in a community. That's strin

Yes, I too think my mateys must be watching over me, as it's been a very rough day and I have had waves of great despondency and sadness, but I have yet to binge. If I do, it will be a broccoli binge, or an avocado binge - not anything worse, and for that I have only my mateys to thank.

Anatomy of a near-breakdown: I had a lot to do and finally went to make first juice of the day at almost noon. I was peeved about this cough-sore throat thing. I never get these things and I'd decided it was not a lovely detox thing, which I would have basked in and enjoyed however horrible, but just "noise" from low immunity and a stressful trip and a crowded club (I never used to beli

Yes, I have done a lot of colon cleansing, both colonics and herbal cleanses. I like the idea, but in practice it has never worked for me.
I think that committing to raw vegan and figuring out how you are really going to really do that all the time is more important than colon cleansing. Once the body is raw vegan for a while, it will give you its own signals that it may feel like colon cleans

See if you can have two ounces of pure green in every glass - that is, each glass should have at least a fourth of it be pure green. Have at least 4 such glasses a day so you get at least a half-pint (quarter of a litre) pure green a day - if you can do more, that is great. The other 6 ounces of a glass (the other three-fourths) could be lemon, water, fruits, and/or carrot. The first idea of the

After my four o'clock in the afternoon juice, I had no other liquids - since I'd had about two litres by then, I felt it was fine not to have any more fluid.
It sounds as if the apple, carrot, and pear are not necessarily feeding your candida, so I think you can continue. But don't worry so much about having large amounts of juice - just try to "sneak in" as much green juice in your

A bit about me: I have sadly decided that my incredibly rare cough-sore throat thing is NOT detox from hypernutritiony greensy; but that I just got too sick in that car with smokers for 5 hours a week ago and that my "immunity was down" - I doubt that a "detox flu" would last so long, and besides it started the morning after I got back from the trip. I look terrible. However,

Oh, and, by the way, if they can afford all that junk, they can take some of the oceans of money they spend on that @#$%& and use it for "hired help", babysitter, whatever it is YOU are supposed to be doing.

Oh, wow, congratulations, Purser! You are surprising yourself, what you can do! It's really great when your body-mind gives you feedback like "I like this, let's keep doing it; it's interesting and boy I need a rest - aaah!" - then you can go on for one more day.

No, I didn't mean to say "don't cook your fruit"; I meant that eating a lot of fruit when the rest of your diet includes grains and even animals will not increase your health - it'll just ferment and acidify things. That is my view of it - some may disagree. Some people feel healthier just by eating more fruit in a cooked omnivore context, but it's very chancey.

It occurred to me that some of you might like to know, if you don't already, about these meditation soundtracks at centerpointe.com - what first got me into it was that you can record your own subliminals in their "state-of-the-art" technology - have them say whatever you want. For fairly cheap, compared to some other ways of doing that. Also, the idea of the soundtracks themselves is p

That DVD sounds like a lot of fun - keep in mind, though, that a great deal of people will not lose weight that way. Perhaps it depends on where your mom is coming from dietarily and how much she weighs. People on the if-it's-raw-you'll-lose-weight plan might get discouraged and feel bad if it doesn't work. Maybe if you can afford used copies, you could get the two Zavasta books as well as the Co

James, I would definitely recommend then getting her _Beautiful on Raw_ and the companion volume, _Your Right to Be Beautiful_ - the latter is a good book, but there are parts that are very offensive to atheists, agnostics, or people who do not accept Judaeo-Christianity or its scripture. You have to read through that, to get at the good parts. I think she'd find it persuasive and inspiring, but

I don't exactly know how to answer this; I don't do recipes and those recipe-books that I know of tend to require dehydrators and expensive blenders. In terms of weight loss, it depends where you are coming from and who you are. A male coming from standard eating will most likely lose weight just going 100 per cent. vegan. Many people of all types, especially males, lose weight just switching to

Adfinder, the nutritionist gave you mistaken information, based on unhealthy, certainly non-raw standards. Your angst is based on trying to hit those huge Standard and very sad numbers, unnecessarily and detrimentally.
Your body will make sense of things beautifully if you do go raw; but if you don't, it is crucial that you go vegan.

Connie Boo, I apologize if I was unclear: I said "no salad" like that because Arie was expressing a desire not to have salad; I was saying that green juices are a way to get the calcium/alkalization without "having to" eat salads.

It could be, but not necessarily. You say "more raw", so you are still eating cooked? This can cause fermentation problems, and combination problems. You have to be careful what raw you are eating, when, and what non-raw it is "mixing" with in your GI tract. You may want to get digestive enzyme vegcaps (say, from HealthForce) to have with non-raw meals or snacks that you are e

Oh, good, I am glad you've been reading posts.
