• Please add some more foods to your diet--the chlorophyll in greens are good for mouth sores, and greens have a lot of minerals, which we all need. I find that celery and parsley have a slight numbing effect if I eat lots of them on their own--perhap…

• Why not have a healthy and filling raw snack (or some manna bread) a little while before bed? It sounds like you may actually be hungry, even if you don't think you are. Or you may have a sleeping disorder--did you sleep eat before going (almost) ra…

• I would suggest trying to drink some plain water first thing in the morning, then waiting a little while (at least 15min) before doing the flush. We're often dehydrated when we wake up, and I think this can affect the salt flush process. You can als…

• Dates blended with cocoa powder and coconut oil are delicious. If you go really heavy on the coconut oil, you'll get something close to a hard chocolate, but not quite. You might try making a date syrup to use in chocolate recipes instead of agave, …

• Well, it has a lot of synthetic/isolated nutrients, which aren't great for you. It also has isolated soy protein, which may cause hormone imbalances. In addition, fructose is a refined sugar. But it's ultimately up to you as to whether this is somet…

• Nearly all fresh, ripe fruit (including bananas and even lemons) are alkaline and/or alkaline-forming. Plums and cranberries are both acid-forming. Bananas' glycemic index is actually somewhat controversial--some say it's actually high-glycemic. I'v…

• Just cut up the vegetables you like, maybe add some ginger, garlic, onion, and hot pepper for a traditional flavor, and massage for a while with plenty of salt. It should taste pleasantly salty when you're done, and the vegetables should be softer a…

• I generally marinate broccoli in some sort of sauce before eating. Like missemy says, the salt helps to make the broccoli more digestible. But you can always just skip broccoli altogether. As for pasta stand-ins, you can also use carrots, sweet pota…

• To clarify: When a high percentage of your food intake is raw. I've heard 80%+ is optimal, but, as you can see, opinions vary. As do methods of calculating: is the percentage calculated by volume? calories?
