Thanks for those links. I guess I'm trying to find out why fruit makes me need to sleep..I sleep as much as my body asks for, but it asks for more when I eat a lot of fruit.

I find it really hard to even think of sugary foods after pineapple or mango..I've had no craving whatsoever in the last..wow, can't remember the last time I craved something sweet. Then again, I don't eat any salty foods either..I find that salty stuff makes me crave sweet, so by cutting them out and adding fruit, that pretty much means I never crave sweet. When I say that I mean I may lust afte

oof, this is going to be a tough one to prove! I know a big lawsuit against a pharma company failed because there were too many different kinds of symptoms..I hope they have like a checklist or something!
I have sooooo many of them too..

Hey, congrats to you too! Pain pills are a bad withdrawal...
I joined a forum support group, and everyone seems to be having a really hard time. There are only 2 people who have had an easy time. Me and one other person. What do we have in common? Vegans, natural foods only, unprocessed etc.
I feel like my body eliminates stuff faster. They recommend stuff like not eating cruciferous veg be

Thanks to everyone who replied. The links were great. Glad to hear your mom was successful joanna.
My friend already did a withdrawal based on a well known taper plan of an English doctor. Its been a few weeks already and she's fine, just feeling pretty nervous, which is where people normally relapse because they think it's the original condition returning. I did it myself a few years ago (ev

Hello,
I've been doing the fruit thing for a few months now. I noticed they make me really sleepy and calm, and help me fall asleep and stay asleep.
So a friend of mine is coming off valium after 5 years. She's pretty frazzled, and anxious all day. This will pass, but I'm trying to give her suggestions that might help. Her diet is pretty healthy (no lacto vegetarian), but I was telling her

I too get very sleepy on a fruit based diet..but this has been a good thing for me since I've lived my whole life verging on insomnia.
The tiredness I was experiencing..I turned out out pretty severely anaemic. My guess is that I was anaemic for a while before the fruits. I think the fruits just highlighted the symptoms. I'm still eating the fruit, but have added an iron supplement. Starting t

Great! I called fresh and wild/whole foods and they don't really have very much.

Hi everyone,
I'm thinking I need some omega 3's, my hair's breaking and frizzed out, lips constantly chapped, skin dry and flaky, but I can't get vegan supplements where I live.
I was thinking of getting some of dr fuhrman's vegan dha drops, but that involves very expensive shipping to where I live. I will be in the uk in a month, and was wondering if anyone knows of any good stores that w

flaky scalp when not due to fungus is often lack of omega fatty acids..from an nhs web site
Fatty acids may help
I have an extremely dry, itchy, flaky scalp which my GP thinks is psoriasis. He prescribed an ointment which was too harsh for my sensitive head so I had to stop using it. Please help - I'm getting desperate.
A number of different conditions can cause scalp flakiness, including

mmm..I find that I lose 'weight' on my feet when I stop eating salt. I have therefore dropped almost an entire shoe size in the last three months without really losing any weight!
I know you live in a tropical climate, but have you ever noticed your shoes seem looser or tighter depending on the season? I never buy winter shoes in summer and vice versa because I find the heat makes them swell..

47. sunshine in uk?
I know that seems to be a contradiction but..I was wondering if anyone knows whether it's possible to still get vit d if it's kind of sunny out this time of year in england.
A friend needs some vit d so I told her I'd ask some people in the know!
Was it my imagination or is there some kind of a chart people are looking at for sunshine?
Thanks!

"Its a common misconception that no blood = infertility, but the truth is, we can get pregnant even when we are bleeding..."
I thought the reason you can get pregnant while you have your period would be that menstruation = likely fertility, therefore semen (which can live up to 7 days) can stay around long enough if you ovulate right after menstruation.

51. Re: Thailand
As Bryan said, I wouldn't worry about it. It's hard to walk more than five steps without running into a fruit vendor who can dice you up a plate full of mango/pineapple and others in a minute or so.
I wasn't even into raw when I was last there, but I would buy huge bags of fruit to take back to the hotel. My mom, who was living there, pretty much lived on fruit for 2 years. She's 72, in thaila

Did you also take into account the sodium in the micro meals? They may be healthy/organic, but I know they ALL have super high quantities of sodium..sodium is a major factor in cellulite.
I have never added salt to my food, but still had cellulite. As soon as I started on the mainly fruit thing, my cellulite has almost disappeared, even though I haven't lost much weight. Now if I even eat a h

I have a question re papaya..we have local papaya here, but it's green inside and doesn't taste much of anything. Is it just unripe or is it supposed to be like that?

F1:
You are so right. I can't believe I allowed my mind to bog me down. When I think back to my perception of exercise this last month, it all involves standard weight training. I injured my knee a few months ago, and people keep telling me (mainly docs) that I needed to rebuild my leg strength (quads) before going back to yoga and martial arts (which I've been doing for years). I guess that j

lol. ok, thanks for all those replies. I think you all have part of the puzzle. I think it was a combination of things.
I say that, because I have broken the barrier! I went to look at a new martial arts class, just to watch mind you.

I'm back with yet another request for advice!
I still can't work up the energy to exercise. It's been just over a month, I'm still doing the one non-fruit meal a day thing (no overt fats).
I know I have to be patient, but Dr D (via vegsource) seems to think I should already be exercising, saying that my low blood sugar is probably due to my lack of exercise.
