in Being Raw

i’ve been raw for about a month now (did a 30 day challenge, and i think it’s gonna stick!) but i’ve gotten way more pimples than normal this month. anyone else have this problem? some of it seems like maybe a rash on my face even. no good.

    thanks to everyone for the replies. i will just tough it out, and apply bare minerals freely in the meantime ;)

    my friend had one a few years ago… she wrote this on her experience:

    Although never having terrible skin, I have always been very sensitive about my complexion…sometimes acting obsessive! Well I have been raw 5 days now and I am feeling pretty well but my skin is freaking out! Dextox sucks! What can I do to move this along quicker?? David Wolfe’s book suggests to eat sweet fruits, water fasts, green juice fasts…I’m curious if doing a fast would possibly shock my system even more making it worse… Anyone have any advice?

    there was a thread about salt flushes a little while ago… basically you drink salt water and lay on your side for awhile… but there’s more specifics, and i’m not sure what they are.

    i’ve been using a face wash with tea tree oil and no sodium laureth sulfates, from desert essence, and a vitamin c moisturizer from avalon organics. i hope they are not the cause of some of the more rash like symptoms.

    The salt flush is: 4 cups warm water and 2 tablespoons salt (not table salt but uniodized is better, I think thats what it was called)

    Mix it up and drink it down….it tastes horrible and might make you want to throw up so be prepared…..I drink it as fast as possible then rinse my mouth with reagular water!

    Do it on an empty stomach, so first thing in the morning is best. THen some say lay on your right side for 1/2 hour but when I did that I didn’t get much “movement”...but try it that way

    after the 1/2hour go about your morning but stay home!! The rest depends on your body….but generally after about 2 hours you should be safe to go out…just really pay attention to the rumbling in your tummy…it will tell you if it’s safe to leave home!

    Then slowly start eating fresh, yummy food!!
