thanks everyone for your great posts.
Things seem clearer to me. A healthy person should not be upset (I mean one's digestion) by a bowl of rice given by a friendly hand... If so, it is propably because the pure state of cleanliness is not yet reached, although quitte near. Thus, strong reaction may be good generally when not overpowering, then it would be good to slow down, if one thinks it i

I believe I understand most of the current ideas about the benefits of a raw diet. however, the only thing I can't find an answer of is why are 100% raw people not more strong when occasionnally eating cooked food. that point is a mystery to me. if we are all over more healthy when raw, then we should be strong and have a strong digestion either. Doesn't seem to be the case here. So why ?

hello Harmony and Sparkler,
Thank you for your caring and advices. I appreciate very much. The last few days, I came to think that I was probably a good prospect for breatharian life (!!! ) as I feel much better without food !
about fruits : in the past, I wouldn't care if fruits were not perfectly ripe. Now it's different. I just cannot eat any that is either unripe or not suitable to me. U

today April 4
1\2 pineapple
1 avocado, 10 cherry tomatoes
4 tbspoons sunflower seeds
1\2 c. raisins
2 big mangoes
well, not so easy to remove seeds (and reduce the fat intake) when my digestive system reacts to almost all kind of fruits - I need advices if I am to continue this diet...
Is it detox when one cannot eat fruits anymore because of intolerance ? what to do then ?
sorry

HitokirianBlade, maybe you could tell your parents that, any way, every thing has to come down to basic molecules in your stomach and glucose is the food of the brain... so to take it from fruit is a short cut since it's easily digested.
Hope that can help. Simplicity is best. Your parents just need to keep contact and know what you're doing so they can get confident about it. However, a short s

I could take more sun. Still a lot of snow here in Quebec !!! . The main problem is having good fruits as many don't ripe properly or not at all - all peaches, nectarines, plums taste awful, mangos often a guess,
We are safe with bananas, orange, pears, grapes and apples , the usual stuff. ... little boring. By chance, papayas are wonderful.

breakfast : 2 mangos, 1 mandarine
noon : salad (lettuce, cucumber, red bell pepper), pasta ( zucchini and tomato), green smoothie ( 2 mangos and 1 cup spinach)
then... something ( smoothie?) didn't work well, upseting my digestion
I had no choice to stop eating as I was no more hungry for the whole day.
I decided to let go of the 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil, starting today

alive or not ?
From my years of teaching Botany and Biology, I can tell you that all FRESH fruit are alive ( the cells are living, breathing, etc). That is not the case with dry ou dehydrated fruits. They are raw but not alive. Same thing for veggies, etc. if dehydrated. Unheated seeds and nuts are dormant - the living process starts when they are soaked...
All green powders, even process at l
