• Well, I love raw so much it would be hard to have someone not as obssessed about biology and health as me. Haha! I just went to a homeopathic pharmacy and when I said the word detox it seemed like I made the guy working there very happy. Hard not to…

• Mmmm... been there, done that. What get's me is that they don't take a word that comes out of our mouths seriously. My significant other had the worst B.O. in the world, whereas my sweat always smelled like fenugreek ;) . I would go on and on about …

• I no longer like anything that alters my state of conciousness. Wine is soooo dehydrating. When I used to drink it a bit, if I had two or three glasses I would wake up at five am, my body SCREAMING for water. I think it is very acidifying, as well, …

• I do it, too. But I eat emotionally. I noticed the other day that each time I had an unpleasant thought about my current situation, or each time I wanted to avoid studying, I went to the cupboard to make a snack. My stomach was distended a little, b…

• I am. I do not watch TV or movies. I think images can profoundly affect us in a negative way, and I would like to say I refuse to allow myself to be manipulated by advertising or any other medium that exhalts and degrades human sexuality and dignity…

• Any other advice on going to the bathroom too much? I have to go three times in the morning. This is not cool as I have class, and I don't like to leave the room to go to the bathroom. It is socially embarassing. Would probiotics help? I see one tha…

• also, if you are not 100 per cent raw and you are not against eating sprouted grain bread, go for it. It will slow things down for you.

• Hey ! I had a similar problem, but I didn't have IBS before raw. When I first tried to go high raw I had trouble. I now know that some things don't work for me in large quantities, notably nuts ! Seeds seem fine... If I eat nuts, I will go the the r…

• I eat one a day but I consume lots of hemp oil and olive oil as well. Of course, coconut oil and almond butter, too. I don't like to lose weight. I have a high metabolism and need the calories and fat. If I don't get enough fat I can see it on my sk…

• I had that at first, too. At first I thought 'I'm getting too many vitamins' because I couldn't sleep. Sometimes I would feel great. I got edgy at times. Had a harder time coping with stress. I toned it down a bit, I slowed the detox down with one c…

• When I was eating (I think too many) red clover sprouts, I had an increase in libido. Too much. But I love those sprouts ! They also made my breasts tender while PMSing, so I decided to cut back. Sprouts are powerful foods... I ate too many black ra…

• Oh yeah, personally I hate quinoa. I don't even digest it raw! And lentils and chick peas are sort of hard sprouted.

• I also love buckwheat. I've even been wondering if I should cool it for a while because I eat some every day. Like the others said, buckwheat (sprout) porridge is awesome. Just let the tails grow a little, two days maximum, and put some in a food pr…
