• Cool, I didn’t know the story behind that but this one guy had the nerve to tell my friend he was vegan after eating cheese pizza with her. I told her he is vegetarian, not vegan no matter what he says.

• I did the master cleanse before I did the raw foods because I wanted all the toxins I could get out to be long gone before I try this new lifestyle. I believed it helped me a lot because I wasn’t as dependent on having food, I actually didn’t want t…

• Try the cleanse and see if it will help. At first you won’t use the bathroom when you start eating again but you will eventually you will. In the master cleanse they suggest a herbal tea that works like a laxative. Senna leaves are a good example. T…

• In that case it would be good to do a cleanse. Did you change your diet? I know there are certain foods high in protein and fiber takes longer to digest.

• Digestion should take 4 hours due to going through the intestines. What is some of the symptoms you are having to give you the impression the digestion is slow? If you do fast based on the information I read it is best not to add the pulp from the a…

• I am going to get the seeds because no one has the plant and see if it will live. I am going to use the site Chris posted. Wish me luck.

• Thank you for trying. I know if I were in Atlanta I could probably find the plant. There is too many package/meat eaters in this state.

• I was trying to see if I could find a place that sells the plant because the seeds are hard to grow. I have a black thumbs so I know it wouldn’t survive. The wheat grass I tried to grow died. So did the tomatoes. The only thing that survived is my b…

• Stevia is an artificial sugar but because it is derived from sugar canes some people think it’s better. I am allergic to all artificial sugar. Especially Sucralose (Splenda). Stevia is suppose to be 4 times stronger than regular sugar.

• If you don’t mind that it is not raw then it may be better to use maple syrup instead. I don’t know of any trusted sites. I use raw honey.
