• swimming in chlorine is rough, one of the reasons i don’t do it as much as i used to. i saw what it did to my swimsuit and wondered what it was doing to me! i think if you are raw that you can be more sensitive to the environment so i wonder if i wo…

• hi liz. i have just been reading “raw success” by matt monarch. it explains some of these issues you are going through. for one, ideally humans are designed to eat less. so it makes sense that you weren’t eating too much. however, eating this way ca…

• go raw mom yeah i think cacao is a little to the evil side but it’s better than so many other things out there (like coffee) so i go to the dark side now and again. BJ sounds so cute. I am so glad he is finding his raw journey rewarding.

• that’s a cute story. i am so happy for your sons! i’ve been reading that it takes less time for them to detox back to health than adults. maybe they also feel the effects quicker? you’ve got a lot more time to have build bad habits, ones that are ha…

• i get the nibs because they are so much cheaper. they blend easily in the blentec (seconds really). i also bulk ordered them online and that is a LOT cheaper.

• i am curious as to why you went back to eating SAD, for curiousity, convenience, health? i guess it seems like it was an experiment. i too have done that. when i had been off wheat for 10 years and hadn’t had a reaction in several years, i wondered …

• i’m sure the only reason why most of us had them is that the school system requires it. vaccinations have been linked to autism and therefore it is just oo much of a risk in my opinion. maybe you can convince your mom to let you go to a natural doct…

• it depends on what you want. it’s nice to have some special things that take longer sometimes. but there are some great recipes that take very little prep. you can search them by equipment on this site. that might help.

• i am glad you had your levels checked. i thought maybe i had b-12 deficiency and i didn’t either. it is great to check and make sure though. good for you!

• i noticed that awhile ago. i was low on iron so you may want to check to see if you are getting enough. dried fruits like apricots and raisins, pumpkin seeds, and wheatgrass as well as other dark leafys are good for iron.

• i just ate one and usually i lick out the skin. i realized my lips get slightly numb after even though i wash my face. probably a slight reaction. worth it though!

• Hmm, I’ve never done a salt water flush but I would say the benefit of the flush is that you get the small intestine too. Whereas the colonic just gets the colon. But I think I would rather not drink all that stuff. I’ve done it for a sigmoidoscopy …
