• hey rawsaysrita- I live in Mattapoisett, which is about ten minutes east of New Bedford, on the coast. Maybe 20 minutes from the Bourne bridge. Not much of a raw community as far as I can tell... but it's getting into fruit season, and I'm really ex…

• Ok, so I just came back from my first official raw foods class... I haven't actually eaten real "gourmet" raw food yet at all. I've been transitioning for about a year now and eat mostly fruit and green smoothies. Today was really fun (I'm now a cer…

• I have had a really, really hard time with carbs. I don't know if it's emotional addiction, chemical addiction, or what, but once I start I just can't stop eating them. I've been doing really well giving up wheat- I've been off it for two months. La…

• trouble- I totally understand your frustration. I have been going through this at school since day one. I get shit on all the time at lunch because I am the only vegetarian (let alone raw vegan) in the building. I've got comments like, "Did you know…

• Hey, Raw Chel- I have similar problems with fatigue- I have a hypothyroid issue and so am tired all the time anyway, but recently I've been absolutely exhausted. I'd like to try colon hydrotherapy, for detox reasons and because I have a really hard …

  in fatigue ?? Comment by lilburger
• thanks all! I'm going to try a combination of advice. I definitely have to eat more raw food during the day, so I don't give up around 4:00 cause I"m hungry. Also, I definitely need to "just say no' to some foods. I have an emotional addiction to sa…

• I've been bringing my smoothies to work every day. I put them into quart-sized mason jars and stick 'em in the fridge. I get a lot of comments at lunch when all I have is a green smoothie... At work I'm usually fine though, since I'm so busy. But as…

• kelly- where can you buy fruit in bulk? I've only ever been able to find dried things like nuts in bulk. Maybe it's because I live in Mass., where nobody grows mangoes?

• I started using the "InnerTalk" subliminal messaging CDs. Shazzie recommends them in her book, "Detox Your World." It's a CD of either the ocean or classical music, with people speaking positive statements in the background so you can't hear them. A…

• Mikfizzle- I went through the same exact thing with my mother. I don't live with her, but every time I saw her, she'd tell me how terrible I looked, how skinny I was, etc. And then she'd say, "You need FOOD." And try to feed me macaroni and cheese. …

• hey troub- I really don't know what caused it. It kind of felt like the lemonade was too acidic for my mouth. I could have kept going, but I kind of just decided I did enough. I had some really strange detox symptoms while I was doing it though so m…

• I tried the master cleanse this spring and was surprised that I actually DID it. I think I just made my mind up, or something. All the while making food for everyone in my house. But on day 10 my mouth started burning and I decided to stop the lemon…

• Hey- another random MC question: I am on day 6 of my cleanse and have been having really bad headaches every day. I am taking birth control pills and was thinking maybe that was the problem. I don't have a caffeine addiction and there is no other re…

• What's the saline flush that you have to do? I'm thinking of starting a master cleanse as soon as school gets out on the 19th. I did one this spring (while teaching seventh grade) and I was fine- pretty tired throughout most of it, and had a lot of …

• ps- When I was diagnosed, my TSH was above 75, which is ridicuolously high (which means that my thyroid was NOT functioning at all). Now it's in the normal range, which is below 2.5. I don't know if it's from my medication or diet or combination of …

• Blue_Eyes: Can your juicer juice vegetable greens? I juice them all the time with cucumber and celery, sometimes a piece of fruit for sweetness. It gives a buzz similar to coffee but way better… also wicked good for you! Love the green juice.
