  • Someone on here recommended epsom salt baths to me, and I've been doing them the past week. WOW! I have to try not to fall asleep in the bathtub, and yesterday, I actually DID fall asleep in the bathtub! I I'm amazed just how relaxing epsom salt bat…

  • Zeina - I have to agree with waterbaby12347 about traditional doctors. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with you hormonally at all, but it's a bit naive of a doctor to dismiss concerns of a younger woman because she doesn't have hot flashes. N…

  • Zeina - You might want to be a bit careful with fennugreek, fennel, and any of those other estrogenic herbs. I thought my estrogen levels were probably too low (also was trying to ummm..."grow!") and after having complications from the herbs, I had …

  • I haven't gotten a chance to reply until now, but thank you for your advice! I successfully slowed down the detox and am doing MUCH better than I was several weeks ago! Redhouse - Strange how you had the same reaction as I did after going 100% raw f…
    in Emotional Detox HELL...any advice / words of wisdom much appreciated... Comment by heloise
  • This might sound basic, but I would eat/juice a lot of carrots and get as many omega-3s into your diet as possible. Whatever the reason, this will help with general eye health. I decided to eat raw because I was diagnosed with a chronic eye disease,…

  • I second cucumber and celery juice! Sometimes I make cucumber, celery and carrot juice together, and I think of that as a really great drink for the skin. When I drink juice with cucumber, I immediately notice a difference in my skin. It seems plump…

  • I have to second (or third?) the cucumbers in your smoothie! Call me crazy, but I get sick of bananas pretty easily. I've used cucumbers with bananas as well, and they sort of weaken the banana flavor, which I also like. The cucumbers just taste so …

  • Hi Jalyses, I'm transitioning myself, and I find soups have really helped me get used to an array of different raw tastes I wasn't so crazy about when I started. Search for the "Creamy Red Pepper Soup" - that one is really a favorite of mine, and I …
    in Want to go raw so many concerns Comment by heloise
  • Thank you everyone for sharing! Similar to Marionvalleygirl, I found myself "cheating" all week to more or less "fit in" with my family during the Thanksgiving Day holiday. I didn't really realize how well I have been doing raw until I started eatin…

  • I'm hoping to reinvigorate this topic, as I fell and very badly sprained my arm. Any strong internal anti-inflamatories I can either in food or medicinal form? I think I would know of I broke it, but I can't bend it. Would epsom salts help?

  • Hi dnacol...yeah...I meant naturally with raw foods! I'm really new to all of this, but I was perusing the web yesterday and came across this woman's book and found her talking a bit on youtube. I really want her first book. Tonya Zavasta? If she's …

  • I have the same problem - I lost a lot of weight getting off of a medication, had a so-called "severe stress response", and now I have a sunken look to my eyes that didn't formally exist. I just started transitioning about 2 months ago, so I really …

  • Hey! What part of George Washington Forest is this? Is it near Luray, VA or further down? I live less than 2 hours away from the event, so I definately would love to go! I also saw you are looking for performers. Some of my music folks and I would d…
