• when nauseous, i would say its better not to nibble on anything, i take it as a body signal meaning “no food right now please!”. i would stick with the peppermint tea.

• i’ve got no poop advice to contribute, but i wanted to put out there that i’ve also experienced really significant endurance increase with my running. raw food does great things for the body, and apparently for runners especially!

• I don’t know how to answer your question, but I would be very interested to find out, as I know someone with MS. I’ll be watching this post. I did read something about hyperbaric oxygen therapy, maybe something to google?

• I’ve had chronic insomnia since very early childhood, that was completely eradicated after about 3 months on the raw diet. Leafy greens do help a lot. Good luck!
