• Hi Powerlifer, I hope you are well. So, I've been using the bitters for a couple of weeks now, but unfortunately I don't think they're helping - or at least with the fats. Whenever, I consume fats with my meal, I usually get a creepy crawly feeling …

• Oh good to know. I don't mind the taste of the bitters at all, so I will skip the water. Interesting about the fats, I suspected I was taking in too much fat. I tend to do that because of lack of calories and fear of fruit (candida). I'm trying to b…

• Hey Powerlifer - yes the upper arms are just what you describe, they're like little acne(sometimes it pops up in other areas too unfortunately). I am mostly raw vegan but I do take Cod Liver Oil in conjuction with a mineral supplement I get from my …

• Powerlifer, thank you. Yes, I worry that I have been coming at this from the wrong angle. Focusing more on microbes rather than adrenals. I have never been tested for microbes, but the long list of symptoms I had for years definitely pointed to cand…

• Powerlifer, thanks again! Hey I was wondering - how long does it take to rebuild the adrenal function? I feel pretty good but still having terrible skin issues. I have been taking Organic Sulphur for about a 3wks - month and not seeing a lot of impr…

• Thanks Powerlifer :) I will check out the tea (what is the flavor like?). As for the bitters - I purchased "Sweetish Bitters" by Gaia Herbs. It has gentian, dandelion, milk thistle, wild yam, cardomom, fennel, and a few others. Do they all have grai…

• Hi there! Powerlifer, I too am wondering about Maca. I have to tell you that you have been so helpful to me in the threads (thank you so much!). You seem so knowledgeable. I have battled candida for a while now but never took adrenal fatique serious…

• PS - Camiheartsraw - make sure your immune system is strong enough to combat the candida. When I first went to my ND last spring he informed that I was not strong enough to battle the candida. I was severly underweight and weak. He put my on a nutri…

• Hi Camiheartsraw, I too have had issues with candida/microbes. I have been taking two types of probiotics which are wonderful and very high quality (recommended by my Naturopath). I take Theralac in the morning and Truflora at night. The Truflora is…

• Thanks Doc Rona. I have not heard back yet from my ND but it doesn't matter - I quit the cleanse and have eased back into my raw diet. I could tell it wasn't right - too sweet. I feel more energetic but agree that it was feeding the microbes. As for…

• Thank you Doc Rona. As I mentioned, I am working with a certified Naturopathic doctor - I am awaiting his response about the cleanse. What do you suggest for microbes? I've heard so many different approaches.

  in Master Cleanse Question... Comment by beaglelove
• Hi Doc Rona, I spoke with his wife who is also a holistic health advisor. I had asked about the sugar and doing blackstrap molasses instead of maple sugar. She seemed ok with that. However, I emailed my ND directly today and asked what he thought. H…

• Thanks Docrona....Hmmm, I was really excited about doing this cleanse, I hate to quit. And actually I have been working with a Naturopath on the microbes. I have been doing probiotics twice a day and a tsp of Silverbiotics (not while doing this clea…

• Hi freewitheft, thanks, yeah I have going after the microbes for sometime but just can't get a handle on them. The cravings have been getting the best of me. Hoping maybe the MC will help me re-calibrate some cravings. Has anyone finished off the MC…

• rawmamanibbles - no I have not seen them - those would be nice for work!

  in Master Cleanse Question... Comment by beaglelove
• Thanks veghealthcoach :) Actually, it wasn't the candida/parasites that inspired me to do it. I just felt like my body needed a rest and wanted to give my organs a break - especially my digestive tract. I have some food sensitivities and wanted to c…

• Hi Powerlifer :) Yes, I purchased some from www.rawfoodworld.com. It was nice - a little thicker and tangier than agave. I don't like to use syrups as they lack the fiber but it works nice for raw chocolate syrups, etc. I forget the name but its a n…

• Coconut nectar is a new product that works nicely too :) And it has B vitamins and amino acids....

• I would be curious to know where to get raw carob as well. I used to get it from The Raw Food World but lately it has tasted heated/not raw so I've had to ship it back. So bummed - I love raw carob....

• Hi Missemy, yep I soak my nuts. I do have trouble digesting fats and take lecithin to help. I do ok, its just that once in a while if I haven't eaten enough, I tend to eat too many nuts and then of course feel sluggish later on :( Darn things. Love …

• I'm curious, a couple of you mentioned that when you overdid fat, you ate fruit or something to combat the fat. I hate to admit but sometimes I screw-up and eat a few too many nuts (horrible I know) - so what can I eat to combat a high-fat meal? Wha…

• gymjunkie - I am the same. Trying to go 100% raw, but that morning green/mint tea in this Minnesota winter, I cannot do without.

  in If you are not 100% raw... Comment by beaglelove
• Hey Sweet, you are so right. There are certain veggies such as broccoli and cauliflower that are better assimilated when lightly steamed. My holistic doctor said (and I've heard this elsewhere) that lightly steaming these veggies allows the cells to…
