Hi, I am reading it again. I do understand and accept the idea of it, much of it makes sense to me but I can't seem to get around the fact that in the back of my mind I find it hard to believe that man existed on mostly fruit, ever. I mean fruit is so seasonal so how could man have lived on mostly fruit? Am I missing something? Is this all based on the assumption that man would have fi

32. Re: What were your detox symptoms?

Beer porno?! ha.. I guess I need to read more on the site. I have missed this one! I sure do need sleep, I am really tired and it's very early in the day for me to feel this way. Now I seem to also be itchy all over. I know our skin is our largest organ so I guess it's normal to do some detox thur your skin~ I HATE itching though. I feel like my skin is crawling.

33. What were your detox symptoms?

Did anyone have itching in their hands and fingers? It's strange. I've noticed this often today and my ears also. I would like to hear what others experienced! I am on day 4 of about 75-85% Raw. (totally Vegan).. coming off a very high fat extremely processed low carb (lots of meat and processed deli cheese and meats) diet.

I use Valarian and Kava. I and all the women in my family have had insomnia for years. The combo of Valarian and Kava really helps me more than anything I have ever tried.

37. Your Reading Recommendations?

I need book recommendations (I spend so much time reading and researching on the computer and I also have a home based business and I really need actual books for a change). I don't mind recipes in the book but what I am really wanting to read is people's experiences going Raw. What to expect with weight loss and detox, how to deal with everyday situations with friends and family, etc. I d

39. Frozen Organic Veggies/Fruits ok?

I am still very new at this and wondered what the thought is on frozen fruits (like blueberries for green shakes) and frozen corn in particular. I have several packages of frozen fruit in the freezer and corn and green beans. and am wanting to use them. Do you think any of the vitamins and enzymes survive the freezing? I know fresh is best but wondered what everyone thought of using/buy

41. Raw Almonds (and other nuts)

Good Morning to you all, I am just getting back to Raw after quite a while off. Last I remember it was actually hard to find truly raw almonds as the US started insisting on them being pasteurized here. I used to order them on line from a company that said they were truly raw - I think they came from Spain. Are all our almonds from the US still pasteurized? That has not changed ri

Hi Back again, Yes.. lots of nuts, avo, crackers made in my dehydrator with seeds/nuts. Alot of raw hummas and black sesame tahini on the crackers. I think just too much fat. I did have green drinks often and think I will need to add more veggies and green drinks and eat less fat and gourmet raw (I loved all the amazing foods I could make raw but I think got away from the reason I was d

46. I Want to Come Back to Raw But..

Last time (I was high raw - about 90%) for about 2 months and got systemic candida. (way too much fruit and dates and Agave). I really need some advice. I think I could do much less fruit in my green drinks, maybe just one piece per drink but I really need ideas for breakfast. I was totally a fruit eater exclusively until about 1pm every day. I guess Raw nuts would be good but I need

I wondered if anyone here is doing this? I am on day 4 (committed to just 14 days right now) and would love to talk with some others that are doing this. So far so good. I am actually suprised how easy it has been so far except detoxing (flu like feeling) for a couple of days. This is my first Juice adventure ever. I am doing a blog if anyone wants to check it out.

51. Truly Raw Almonds and Cashews On Line...

Wondered where any of you buy nuts on line that are truly Raw. I understand now that all our almonds in the US are now pasteurized. I read many rawist are ordering them from sites that get them from Spain.? Also wondered about Cashews. I see there is some debate as to rather Cashews can be considered truly raw since they use steam on them? Anyone know where to get any truly raw Cashews
