121. Re: colon irrigation
Well I as a woman (I don't know your gender) would feel not too excited about doing that procedure with a man conducting it. I went to this small place run by this lady and found her very nice. Granted, it's not fun to have a tube up your bum for 30+ minutes. I got a stomach massage during the procedure etc. but not too much waste came out, even though according to that lady, the water went all t

122. Re: mucoid plaque...
I am slowly letting go of the belief in that mucoid plaque recently. I used to be almost obsessing about the thought, but neither herbal cleanses (ejuva, colonix) nor actual colonics brought me a "result". I didn't even feel good after the colonics, I felt washed out and "shaky" kind of like when you lose your electrolytes from diarrhea.
I see those stringy objects coming ou

Thanks for your input, everybody ! I really appreciate it! I know juicing shouldn't be a replacement for eating greens, but some greens I wouldn't eat raw (kale) cause I don't like the dry texture etc
I do eat spinach, romaine etc...but I'm not kidding anyone, most of the time I think it's a compromise and I'm trying to take an easy way out (chugging instead of chowing)
jono- I tried smoothi

Hello, I have to ask a question about juicing, and overdoing juicing.
I got into the habit of drinking large amounts of green juices that are low in oxalic acid. I juice about 2 bunches of kale or 2 bunches of dandelion or collard greens etc. at a time. This results in 0.5-0.75 liters of green juice, which I consume right away.
Some juices, especially celery and beets give me really funky

Well I got tested for the iron levels a few times. Alternatively you could request a bloodtest from your general practicioner to get tested on all kinds of stuff if you are worried....But again I think you are doing well by tracking your intake and you don't have to prove a point to the doctor.

The samples and prescription prenatal vitamins, omg they made me so sick. And huuge stomach aches from the iron, only after taking them a few times.
Extra folic acid is said to be important before conception/right after, supposedly preventing a condition of the spinal cord in the earliest stages of pregnancy.
I did supplement with a "lighter" version, which is getting the minerals

It never made me nauseous, but I personally feel it go best when I only ate light raw before I drink it. If I eat fatty or even cooked, I feel it stays in my stomach.

I got that problem even 100% raw and proper food combining.
A true lifesaver and amazing solution for me are enzymes. I get the less costly ones from wholefoods (wholefoods brand "wholezyme", which are capsules containing an enzyme blend. This in combination with probiotic capsules (~$10, same as the enzymes) have helped me a great deal, I know how it is at work! My bloating was often

Yes I know that one. Dry, bad taste in my mouth no matter how much I rinse or drink water. I even caved in and bought gum and breath mints cause I was getting paranoid at work about bad breath....

It was easier to live alone and have total control over what is in the fridge, a LOT easier. I am the only raw eater in the family. While my husband will eat one raw meal a day no probs, still he loves eating out and also pizza etc to take home. Yesterday I covered up that Veggie-Lover's Pizza from Pizza Hut by placing my largest salad bowl filled with bell pepper and cucumber on top of it. I smu

I think the more raw you include in your diet, the better - that's pretty clear. Like people said above, it never hurts to include more rawness in your diet.
However me personally, I feel a drastic difference when being 100%. For instance skin looks the same when 70, 80 or maybe even 90%. But when eating 100% for a while, it truly clears up. I also only feel a real cleansing going on when 100%.

I gave it for my husband (who is not raw) to see if it would help him any. I had actually bought it for myself but found out I should not use it because I am breastfeeding. Anyways, it made him feel better. Nothing drastic but simply a better digestion. No emergency trips to the restroom or of that sort.
My guess is that those things work 100 times better when you are completely raw in terms of

I wish I had a raw bff but then again, it's not something I long for. Otherwise I'd already have connected with rawfoodies in my area (California=there's quite a few). Rawfoods and the details of the raw life don't take that much part of my life.

At 18, I turned vegan as i was into that straight-edge movement, where many people are vegans. However, I never really 100% warmed up to those peeps. Many of them are too radical, too everything. But the ethical reasons made sense to me. So then somebody hooked me up with a raw food book and I started going raw and feeling amazing. I'm off and on to be honest but getting better in recent years so

I have /had a problem with anxiety and panic attacks since I was 21, the trigger was becoming pregnant with my first child. I have since then been over sensitive to caffeine etc. so I stay away from that, that as such already helped LOTS.
During bad phases, I also had body weakness and my brain was clouded.
Now that I am older (29) the problem resolved over time (I am more self confident, not
