  • I think it's a great idea to give yourself a plan or template - I'm not 100% raw but I try to do raw days sometimes and it helps me to plan ahead and figure out before-hand what my meal plan for the day will be. I know with this exact menu that you'…

  • Oh, god, I've had the same problem for years. My doctor told me I have eczema and I've tried both cortisone cream and elocom lotion and neither will make it go away for more than a few days. Sometimes the skin around my eyes get so dry and cracked t…
  • Fatigue is a major symptom in anemia. You should be tested for it, if you haven't been already. There are many different types of anemia, including iron deficiency, aplastic, b-12 deficiency, and anemia of chronic disease. If your cancer was a leuke…
