  • It's actually quite easy to be magnesium deficient, especially on 811, unless one is consciously consuming tons of greens, which the 811 gurus don't really push that much.
  • Acidic foods can reaaaaallly slow down for people who have inflamed stomaches. Because the body is trying to heal and then wham gets a bunch of acid in it. First of all, transferring to a raw diet is harder when one has been eating a lot of fat/prot…
  • magnesium supplements. the tips on this website have totally turned me around: http://www.fibromyalgiacfsstore.com/ibs.html. Also, self healing colitis and crohn's by david klein has tips about cutting back on acidic foods and fiberous greens, which…
  • I believe that with faith and perseverance it is possible to heal from most anything.
  • OOoo a tip on the chickpea hummus! If the texture comes out not to your liking it can be made creamier and more delicious with a half an avocado (or less) and some pecans (1/8-1/4 cup). Yummy!
  • It's really refreshing when someone comes out and says what I have been thinking, when I've been trying to think positively and be forgiving but just been getting wishy vibes.
  • I like you Chris, and everything that you've done. I have a lot of respect, of course. I do want to put in on a side note that without the "Raw" label you and Zoe wouldn't have a brand. So you do have more than one incentive to be considered the "Ra…
  • Also, how long did your achy feelings last? Mine are probably a 3.5 on the pain richter scale...(out of 10) so I would like it to stop asap.
  • For inspiration I watch 'The Secret' or 'Bashar' videos on youtube. Also 'Arnold's Way' videos are really good for raw stuff. Sorry about your troubles. I am sure many better things are in store for you in your future. Everything we REALLY need we h…
  • bump. anybody? Which is better- storing in a freezer or in a jar in the fridge? Thanks :)
  • I think you should let yourself have as many as you want. It's like your new favorite cd. You just have to eat it (or listen to it) all the time, and so you should. It's high in fiber so all the sugar doesn't get digested at once. Go for it. You'll …
    in too many dates? Comment by zinfandel
  • Protein slows down detoxing, but it also is not healing. I have heard, and also kind of believe, that what one is detoxing one starts to crave. So cravings indicate detoxing. Your okay cheating and you'll probably not want to cheat eventually becaus…
  • looking into a gallbladder/kidney cleanse may be a good start. google dr hulda gallbladder/kidney cleanse. other than that, I have no expertise in this area so I'll keep my mouth shut. good luck!

  • Fasting would also probably help. I heard a saying that nobody stays unhappy after a 4 day fast... I've never fasted though.
  • In studies, 5htp (an amino acid) were found to be just as affective as anti depressants. Also, in studies testing anti depressants against the placebo effect, they tested as having the same amount of benefits.
  • frozen bananas! my eyes got all big when i realized they had an icecream consistency. Oh, and figs. And dates. And avocados when I realized i could eat as much as i wanted without getting fat...
  • This may be what your looking for, and I believe it to be true: Your Latte may be in the way of you doing something really phenomenal for your body. Your body is putting energy is to cleaning up after your latte instead of cleaning house. There may …
  • Nuts and seeds slow down my digestion, so that is why I don't eat a lot. I think that is one of the only reasons not to eat them other than for weight loss. I'd say to go at it! You are exercising much more than the average joe and need your calorie…

  • I definitely concluded that quick masticating juicers are perfect for those who want to be healthy and fast. I will get a masticating juicer sometime when I have the time to put into getting pristine 100% perfect juice but I dont know when that will…
    in Best Juicer? Comment by zinfandel
  • After getting the healthyjuicer, the manual one, I realized it's just not feasible for me to actually use it regularly. It takes 30 minutes to get one measly cup of juice. Not worth it at all. Maybe if I lived on a farm and didn't have anything bett…
    in Best Juicer? Comment by zinfandel
  • Hello Kristen! Of course I already read your post. You may be happy to know that it came up on my search through google. Very useful. I have a couple questions if you don't mind answering since I am really leaning towards Breville. Is there a Brevil…
    in Best Juicer? Comment by zinfandel
  • I think I am leaning towards a Breville, but if it can't do greens then there is no way. Please let me know if you have any experience with the Breville and greens. Thanks!
    in Best Juicer? Comment by zinfandel
  • I drink 2 8oz glasses of water like the second I wake up. It might help you go at home instead of inc lass? This is all I can think of. Maybe the greens aren't helping either, I don't know.
  • I hate to butt in here, but agree with the idea about a hydrotherapist. Your body does NOT need help doing it's job. I did hydrotherapy for a while and it made my muscles weaker. I believe that exercise and saunas are sufficient for detoxification. …
  • Bananas are supposed to help. They are high in soluble fiber which provides density (gross im sorry). Make sure you pick ones that are really ripe. People are commonly mistaken about how to pick ripe bananas. The more black spots on the peel the bet…
  • Hiiii I have been eating to heal IBS for a couple weeks now. What I've done is cut out veggies unless they are steamed or juiced. And only eating sweet fruit. I got the book self healing colitis and crohns by david wolf. I'm kind of bummed the heali…
  • Fruits are best. Sweet fruits are easiest to digest. Acidic fruits are sometimes too detoxifying and harder to digest for some. Veggies are good but also hard for some to digest, so juicing is good. Do look up a food combining chart. It is worth it…

  • When I transitioned I ate 2 a day to cut cravings. It worked! I still lost weight. Now, I have lost a total of 15 pounds and feel my best when I eat very small amounts of fat. It's just what's best for me right now- but do what is best for you and y…
  • I used to experience severe disorientation, spaciness and lightheadedness. I thought maybe it was related to several things such as not eating enough fat, not eating enough salads, eating too many fruits. HOWEVER I have determined that it was ENTIRE…
