• Be careful with oils. Even pure ones can irritate certain skin types. Coconut oil caused me to break out after I had been using it for a month or so. I don't think stripping the oils from your skin is a good idea either. I just wash my face with wat…

• Hisown-Maybe the rage was emotional detox. I'd suggest sticking to 100% for longer than three days(maybe six) to see if it eases up a bit. Also I would recommend a juice fast. That makes detox go really fast.

• haha dovesinna- glad you're a girl. and I think ibuprofen is a wonderful thing when you need it. I use it on rare occasions for severe pulled muscles or inflammation if I have an accident like sprained ankle or something.

• rawneworleans-did you not catch the title of this thread? FEMALES ONLY! Anyway, I drink hot water and that helps alot. Hot baths or showers are wonderful. I am not against drinking tea but hot water for some reason is more soothing for pain to me.

• There is a farm near where I live that sells raw honey. It turns sugary with in a couple weeks but I enjoy it. I also occasionally use agave, maple syrup and date sugar. I'm not always 100% and I don't mind using agave much but I rarely eat sweet st…

• I lost about 10-15 pounds. No plan either. I didn't lose that weight until about the third week though. I should mention that I don't like nuts and have only eaten grains a few times. I started eating seeds more though. I'm 80-100% raw and happy wit…

• that’s weird! I haven’t been to many potlucks but there was never a single non raw ingredient. I don’t know what I’d do really but I think I would eat what they brought. Mostly because it’s a raw community and that’s really priceless. You could just…
