• yes the best you can do is just give her things that will give her a bit more energy to fight off the side affects of chemo. i think green juices or smoothies or anything with greens will help. whatever she is up for. and just being there for her.

• at first it will drop off, even for people who are only mildly overweight. it will slow down most likely but continue to drop until you are at a healthy weight.

• yes my husband is not all raw. we just eat different meals. it actually relieves the burden on both of us. he likes to eat big batches of lentils, etc and i never did when i ate cooked. too boring. i just eat when i'm hungry.

• yes you can lose weigh while eating fat. i lost 30 pounds. raw fat is good for you, despite what many will say. and the fat will keep the detox symptoms to be less severe.

• yes that does sound like detox. try adding more GREENS rather than green tea. that will help you. you can also slow the detox with adding more fat into the diet. use raw fats like coconut and avocado.

• I think raisins are a great "transition" food. meaning, they might not be 100% raw techinically but they don't cause cooked food cravings to come back. they also don't give me symptoms like other cooked foods do. so I have them in moderation. i doub…
