Although I thought this was stated in my previous post, I will clarify the point that GSE kills numerous bacteria, viruses and fungi, including the virus that causes common warts. Since the HPV virus causes genital warts, it makes sense it would kill the HPV virus. I just did a quick google search and there are many sites discussing the use of GSE to combat the HPV virus. Regardless of wh

I am so sorry to hear of your situation. I hope whatever advice you consider here that you spend plenty of time researching it responsibly and not just rely on what people "know" as the natural remedy communities are overrun with disinformation. This caveat certainly includes my advice. My suggestion is to read up on and consider grapefruit seed extract (GSE), which can be taken in

I am also on a day 5 of an extended fast. I will probably not go more than 30 days but if my bloodwork comes back in any given week with issues I may modify my plans. For those that fast regularly, a good site is FastingConnection.com. There is a medical doctor who visits the site daily and tries to answer most questions. He runs a fasting clinic in Johannesburg and has supervised more than

If I eat the organic veggies I grow, I rinse them to get any surface dirt or chunky insects if needed. I am not too particular as long as they aren't gritty from dirt and I would prefer not to bite into a big, juicy worm. The eggs I am happy to eat for the B12. However, if I buy produce at the grocery store, be it organic or not, I always wash it. You don't know who has been touching that s

Thanks for sharing. I know what you mean about the enemas. I am all for a light coffee enema, but that is done to clean the liver and not the colon. I don't buy the colon cleanse hype anymore. I eat raw and, like you, I did a 14 day water fast and clearly if nothing is going in then nothing is coming out.

Yes, that is a sign that it is going bad. They will eventually turn purplish inside. Before I knew what this meant, I ate a few that still tasted good because I didn't know any better, but it didn't make me sick.

I don't think the bitter taste is indicative of anything. Dandelion greens are very bitter but the only thing I know about them is they are good for your liver so this isn't a bad thing. I had a very bad accident in 1996 and was under tremendous stress (unable to walk or hold anything in my hands for 5.5 months) and taking about $2,000.00 monthly in narcotics and sleeping pills.

I use grapefruit seed extract at the first sign of a cold or flu. GSE is a broad spectrum anti-microbal that works on app. 800 total strains of bacteria, viruses, or fungi. It does not harm the beneficial bacteria in your body either so you won't end up with yeast overgrowth like you often do after taking antibiotics. Once you start taking GSE, it stops the offending organism from replicat

MEGANBUBBS - Bless your heart for standing your ground. It is quite possible that the doctor did tell her to do that or she made it up because she wanted you to think it was an appropriate act. Doctors are always telling people to do crazy stuff. My grandson's pediatrician told my son that it was very important he use water with extra fluoride. (*@#&(*&$! I suspect she isn't the fir

I LOVE fresh, young coconuts and I read somewhere their water is the only naturally occurring fully isotonic beverage made by nature. One bad thing you should remember is that if they aren't organic they have probably been preserved in formaldehyde. They keep the coconuts under the formaldehyde for app. 6 minutes I believe it is. I wish we lived in a world where helath and nature was r

I read a book about 8 years ago GRAIN DAMAGE. The author didn't believe that humans should eat any grains. It made me decide to severely restrict my grains. I don't remember everything he said about them. I do recall the following: 1 - They cause allergies above and beyond allergies to the grain. 2 - Wet grain cause some kind of problem with how your insides function. 3 - Grains screw wi

I have a refrigerated shipment of young coconuts being delivered to my home this week. I had planned to separate the water from the meat and then freeze them both. Now, I don't have time to do that. Can I freeze fresh, young, whole coconuts, shell and all? If so, this resolves my problem. Thanks.

I did this for almost a year and it went well. I wasn't raw at the time. As a result, I ate less and lost weight but felt more satisfied when I ate. I ate my meal at dinner but drank plenty of mineral water daily. I always ate exactly what I wanted so I never felt deprived. For me, this was key. If you want to eat raw or any degree of raw, you might want to consider sticking with the

It is my understanding too that distilled water will pull some toxins from the body but that this practice should only be utilized for brief periods. Distilled water which has not been re-mineralized is definitely not like rain that has found its way back into an aquifer and is ready for animal consumption. Distilled water is void of minerals and therefore leaches minerals from your bones a

Community Builder, you are right about the environment. You can eat organic raw exclusively and exercise daily but if you are inhaling asbestos neither will stop you from developing mesothelioma.

EZRIDER - It is difficult to understand where someone is coming from when you don't know them and can't detect any inflection in their written words. This often happens on web forums. I suspect, given what you quoted from my post and then your response, you are under the impression I was making a personal statement about you. I was not. I was merely commenting on what I think is the rather obv

Personally, I am much more concerned about raw food being a substitute for religious dogma than being 100% raw. It is obvious many raw foodies have serious control issues and use the diet as an alternative to more unacceptable food illnesses like anorexia. There is nothing wrong with focusing on your health and eating as much raw food as possible. However, if you are motivated to do so base

I have all the same issues. I thought I might try a water/juice fast and see if I can reboot myself before trying other options. If you have success with anything please let me know.

Sharrhan, I agree with your post. Something that you mentioned is the calorie restriction diet. I have read a few studies with this diet conducted on several species and the results are uniform and astounding. Limiting calories can lengthen the lifespan by 40% and provide excellent health and continued youth in the process. I always saw this as nature's reward for not wasting her resou

Would you mind sharing what type of doctor told you this and what prompted the recommendation? Was it a response to a specific set of symptoms/concerns or was it offered as general advice? Thanks for any response.

SEAJAEE - I think your question is perfectly legitimate and I am not surprised to see it deflected. I am unsure how the question could be limited to SAD thinking given that I have never met a fellow raw foodist who was not motivated to the path by health issues and longevity and did not pass that information on to others. We all know health is a benchmark for mortality (barring trauma). Wh
