Hi! It's been awhile since I have posted anything but I thought I would chime in.
I am a licensed esthetician and skin care instructor at an esthetics schoolin Florida who deals with these kind of things everyday. There is a list of things that could be causing these problems.
Detox can definitly be one of them. Your body uses your skin to get rid of alot of things. Sweating is not just

I knew a female bodybuilder who did the same thing. When she was offseason, she would pack on the weight. You would never think that she was a bodybuilder! While she was training she would put herself through the worst conditions. Her trainer actually had her working out 8 hours a day and only consuming 600 calories of nothing but chicken breasts for two weeks!

I was the first to go raw in my relationship. Both my boyfriend and I were SAD. It didn't take long for him to want to try what I was doing. I never once pressured him to try anything. I thought it would be too extreme for him. Now if I get a craving for something bad, he'll be the one to keep me on track. We are both raw foodists now.

What about vitamin D? The only real way that I know of that the body can get vitamin D besides animal foods is exposure to the sun. Vitamin D helps in the absorbtion of calcium. Tell them to ask there doctor about this. Take a look at this site and tell me if anything sounds like familiar symptoms.

Remember also that alot of people get digestive problems if they are having emotional problems. I agree with others here when they say that you should work on healing emotionally.
Some people can't even eat if they are in a bad emotional state.
Hang in there and know that we are all here for you whenever you need something.

When I was in school to become an esthetician, my teacher told me that having more copper in the diet would help with capillaries. She was all about the holistic approach. Also, don't overexfoliate in those areas because it can actually worsen the situation. No hard scrubbing. Only gentle.

It sounds like the symptoms he had has nothing to do with an asthma attack. Asthma is when your trachea becomes restricted. I have never heard of the side effects of asthma being mucus or rashes.
As far as calling child services, I wouldn't go that far. It sounds as though Frannie does not know all of the foods that are causing these symptoms. To requote her:

I am personally terrified of the dentist. Everytime I'm drilled on I feel it. It hurts so bad I usually have tears rolling down my face. That's with the novicane and gas. If they want to work on my teeth I have to be knocked out.

I have not been raw for long. Only since about January. I have not experienced any of these problems yet. I've been told that I look great since going raw. How long until they start to manifest?
I was reading that if someone is getting all of their nutrients but not enough calories that it can cause problems in the long run.

I agree with anaken. When you have small children they are constantly getting sick while trying to build their immune systems. There is a good possibility that some of these sicknesses are actually reactions to the cooked food that they are introduced to. They just slowly get use to it over time.

Almost 2 weeks ago I bit the inside of my mouth near my lip. A few days later it developed into a canker sore. A BIG ONE! Now it won't heal at all almost 2 weeks later.
Someone suggested it could be the acids in the fruits. Could this keep it from healing properly? ANYTHING that touches it hurts, including water. Eating is agony! Suggestions or comments anyone?

One of the things that I'm SO glad I don't have to do anymore that was really time consuming...... scaping the cooked on food off of all of those #@$% pots and pans!!!!
I love just grabbing fruit or veggies when I'm hungry.

I for one use frozen fruits. They're great for smoothies! Fresh is best but if you can't get fresh then frozen is a great substitute. You might lose some of your nutritional value but its better then canning or other processing!
As far as food combining, I'm still learning that myself.

I agree. People have a tendency to follow the majority. They know what they know because it's what the majority has taught. Even a year ago you could catch me in line at the Burger King drive through

23. Re: Dentist
I have always had a problem with cavities, or so I've been told. Ever since I was 8 I would go to the dentist and was told I had to be drilled. It didn't matter how many times a day I brushed and flossed. None of them ever bothered me but the dentist said they had to be taken care of. I have nightmares about that drill now.
At the age of 18 and 12 fillings later, I was told that I would ne

Thanks for the compliment tristani!
I do add some nuts and seeds into my diet, but not everyday. Lots of fruit with some veggies. I'm not a heavy juicer either. Love making smoothies! I'm one of those who think there is more benefit from the whole fruit or veggie. Mostly just grabbing fruits and veggies whole. I'll just snack on an apple or mango or pear.
I also eat avocado alot because m

The best thing to start out with is just a good blender. I don't own a juicer or a dehydrator yet.
If you want to juice something, my cheap-o but effective way right now is to blend everything together in a blender and then get an old pair of clean pantyhose and cut the legs into 6" sections. Tie one end of a section and pour the blended juice into the other end. Squeeze the pantyhos
