• O.k., I think I need a little encouragement…I am on day 3 of the fast, and day 3 of a horendous headache…bordering on the migraines I used to get before I went raw. I know it is part of the detox, and it is because of the toxins that my body is rele…

• Yes, Kundalita, I know about the lax. tea in the evening, I am doing that…but this board listed other teas that could be drunk, so I was wondering if it was in addition to the lax. tea. Sorry, I probably didn’t make myself very clear in that post. I…

• Thanks Nezumi! I think I will try that in the morning. So far today I have been pleasantly surprised by my non-hunger, and my energy. I will say it was a little hard for me at dinner though…I made my family this amazingly beautiful salad, and I am a…

• thanks for the tips veganpunk. I was using 2 teaspoons (don’t think I could have handled more!). But, the sea salt I was using was not celtic sea salt. It was mediteranean sea salt. So, I will go buy the celtic for tomorrow. I did heat the water to …

• O.K., I started the cleanse a little early, as I realized I have no mama’s due until around the first of Dec., so wanted to take advantage of this extra week. I had the seneca tea last night and the salt water this morning. After the salt water I re…

• As of right now, I am game…but, I have a mama due to give birth around that time, and if she goes into labor, then I am going to have to start a little later. I need nourishment to be best support to her. I’ll keep you posted!

• I just bought some ground chia seeds (raw of course) from my health food store, I was thinking of blending them in with smoothies. I will check out Angela Stokes suggestions, but does anyone else have anything fabulous that they do with them? What a…

• Hot Springs AZ is near Tucson, I am not sure of exact location, but believe it is a littl North West of Tucson. I have not been there myself, but would LOVE to do the raw yoga retreat there. It sounds AMAZING! Hope you find it!

• Dr. Mercola is very reputable….and I have to agree with him. Soy is something that should NOT be in ANYONE’S diet. It is horrible for your endocrine system, especially your thryoid. I have a website that I put together that has TONS of studies done …

• Hurray for baby Baraan! (and you too or course, K-mom)! What wonderful news and I am so thankful that you shared it with us. What a beautiful name. Did you start labor on your own, or was it just not happening? Either way, outcome is the same, a big…

• Hey Omshanti! Yerba Mate has “natural caffeine” in it, and unfortunately it is not raw. I tried to use the chocolate flavored one in replacement for coffee, but found that I actually had a much STRONGER reaction to the yerba mate.
