• Exactly….no one. I’m definately a band of one in my circle of friends but they are accepting. Recently a friend said if I was stranded on a desert island and I could have one “thing” with me it would be a juicer!!!! ;o)

• Personally I have found Natalia’ Rose’s book to be the clearest on food combining too. I eat fresh fruit apart from all other foods but aside from melons I don’t sweat combining acid/sweet fruits. A ton of recipes on this site advocate combinations …

• Okay..not a doc. having said that if its your right side it could be liver congestion specifically. If its both sides or left side it could be simple intestinal ( descending) colon backup. Those ideas are the first and simplest that come to mind. Fl…

• Not that I am aware of. Its really safe. You sweat but you don’t overheat or feel uncomfortable. In a traditional sauna the heat can feel so heavy that you feel like you can’t take in enough oxygen. Not the case with infrared. Breathing is smooth an…

• Hi Newbie, I have an infrared sauna too. It was my 4oth bday present. And I absolutely love it. Its great for detox, circulation, meditation, relaxation. You name it. It was def an investment but I don’t regret it for a moment. I researched a bunch…

• Hmmm….chocolate to durian..??? Since I love both why have I never thought to put the two together. Dang I need to leave my box more often. I’m going to get some Durian this weekend. Thanks again Kandace!

• I won’t speak for everyone else but I only use water or coconut water because fresh fruits digest best on their lonesome. Added nut milks mess that up for me. It all goes back to that whole food combining thing. Hope that helps some.

• omshanti, You crack me up! Frankly I’m relieved that someone else has experienced this problem. I’ve always avoided family bike rides for the same reasons you’ve given. Heck. Just give me some shoes. I’ll walk!!!!

• I’ve gone back and forth with coffee. I do think its what you put in it that can be the worst offender. But basically if it feels like a habit or a crutch I back away to find out whats really going on. I mean I like the taste and all but I used to l…

• Hey rawrawraw, Thanks for all that! There is a part of me that suspects in some weird way that 1 year of rawness has stripped away the layers that now present as ” RA”. I do not want to start any drugs right now. I just have worked too hard to elima…

• Hey Juicy, I have considered that this may be part of detox and food allergies too. The cleaner my system has become the more I feel like a canary in a coal mine. I think I may have some allergy to nightshade foods. So I’m nixing the tomatoes, corn …
