• I was using EFT for a long time before I made radical changes to my diet, and I still had to go through a bit of emotional detox too. Be patient and be good to yourself. :) Try some EFT, it might give you a bit of relief to clear some stuff out quic…

• Around here, a lot of it goes to a couple food banks. :)

  in Where does all the produce go??? Comment by freewitheft
• The fat-soluble vitamins are A, D, E, and K. However, I would not worry a second about overdosing on them, especially from food sources. The RDA for Vitamin D is 400 IU/day. I currently take 10,000 IU/day. They (mainstream medicos) are starting to r…

  in Vitamin overdose? Comment by freewitheft
• Oh yeah, that should help. And doing some dry-brushing everyday should help too.

  in Will dry sauna speed up detox? Comment by freewitheft
• Yeah, either way I would up your water intake. Because if it's detox, it will help move the toxins out of your system faster anyways. And that's what it sounds like to me. Hope it's over fast for you! I hate sore throats too. When I'm detoxing is ab…

• Eating asbestos! lol! That's funny. Go jakkrabbit! :) Hope the detox is quick for you - I would guess around a week as well. Sounds like you are making great progress, but yeah, don't push yourself to the point you want to vomit or collapse. I have …

  in Should I exercise while detoxing? - I have NO energy Comment by freewitheft
• I just listen to my body when I'm detoxing. Basically, I plan to do Tae Bo every day (currently a 55-min workout). That way, I don't feel bad about not doing it on the occasions when I don't have time or don't feel up to it. When I did my 20-day Mas…

  in Should I exercise while detoxing? - I have NO energy Comment by freewitheft
• Yeah, sounds like detox. When I did my first Master Cleanse, I felt on top of the world til day 5 or 6. It hit me like a ton of bricks! lol When you feel those symptoms, it means the toxin load is a bit more than your body can deal with. It helps to…

  in are these withdrawal/detox symptoms? Comment by freewitheft
• Wow! I think I'll have to check out that recipe. lol I'm never quite sure if it's a good thing to have others like the stuff I'm making. I mean, it's awesome for them to be turned onto raw that way. They just have to learn to make it themselves and …

• Scooter, you could try hemp powder in your green smoothies. Lots of benefits there, the chlorophyll and its a complete protein. And it keeps me going regularly. ;) I love the Master Cleanse too. Definitely helps get stuff moving out of there, more t…

  in Juice fasting help!!! Comment by freewitheft
• Yeah, I've heard of one other case of carrots, but never asparagus. *sigh* Oh well. I haven't had asparagus since earlier this month, but I was having carrots up until this past Sunday. Today is Thursday and I already feel like I'm on my way back. F…

• Just got my ELISA results and thought this was a good place to post. What a surprise I had! I'm still reacting to the stuff I already knew about and cut out of my diet 2 years ago (dairy, soy, eggs, etc) but I knew I was reacting to something else t…

• Oooooh, are you ok with coconut? There's a new coconut milk kefir out, I think it's probably by Turtle Mountain/So Delicious since they make all the other coconut milk stuff. You might like that for probiotics. Haven't tried it yet myself since I've…

• Fillie, I forgot to ask if you were breastfed. A baby's gut doesn't close until somewhere between 4 to 6 months of age. That's why La Leche League recommends breastmilk exclusively for the first 6 months. If you are given anything else before that, …

  in Raw with multiple allergies/intolerances? Comment by freewitheft
• The IgE antibodies will float around in your bloodstream for a while, but if you manage to avoid the food completely they will eventually disappear. My acupuncturist recommends waiting a full year. I recently treated myself to coffee, it had been 14…

• DreamBrother, it's called Leaky Gut Syndrome. Most of us have assaulted our intestinal tracts with various bad things over the years, antibiotics, aspirin or ibuprofen, candida overgrowth, etc. that result in an intestinal wall that is more porous t…

• Yeah, I drink kombucha for the probiotics and might try making my own, but rejuvelac is a lot quicker to make from what I understand. Thought it might be worth a shot and I wanted to see how it tastes, but still leery of the rye. lol From what I've …

• Cami, have you tried sprouting anything that's off-limits for you? I've been told by a few different folks, including a dietician, that sprouting changes the molecular structure enough that the offending proteins aren't recognized by the immune syst…

  in Raw with multiple allergies/intolerances? Comment by freewitheft
• I can't have gluten, dairy, eggs, corn, or any beans/peas/legumes, including soy. So some of the stuff used for flavoring, like Bragg's Aminos are off-limits. And no sprouted chickpeas for hummus. :( I use the recipe here that uses zucchini instead.…

• I know someone who has used diet as well as some other stuff like acupuncture. Not completely cancer-free yet, but well on the way! In addition to the great stuff already mentioned, I have read about mega-doses of Vitamin C for cancer therapy (titra…

• Moonlight & cami, this convo reminds me of the strategy I always give to folks who are looking to change their diets for the better, lose weight, detox, or whatever. I always say to "give your body what it needs first". In other words, add the s…

  in Probiotics Comment by freewitheft
• vabeachcg, you may have a sensitivity/allergy to something that you indulge in, sugar especially. When I started eliminating stuff from my diet because of MS, my acupuncturist told me to avoid any of the foods for at least a full year. Having done s…

  in Can you get too clean and too sensitive? Comment by freewitheft
• liger, I agree with chattanoog that I definitely feel better when I don't eat for a while before bed. But then, I definitely have leaky gut and other issues that fasting helps with, so I wouldn't expect otherwise. Glad to hear you're feeling good em…

• I just wanted to comment a little on body image. My background is that I was still 189 pounds a full year after having my second child, but I had been a little overweight even before kids (I'm 5'7" and was around 155 lbs). I used EFT to resolve my e…

  in Going back to raw, and I NEED your support Comment by freewitheft
• Oh my gosh, I never would have thought of this. Thank you! I'm always looking for something new to add because I need to rotate my foods so I don't develop new sensitivities/allergies. I bet this *does* make a yummy raw granola!

  in Raw Buckwheat Comment by freewitheft
• Congrats SA-RAW! Listen to your body, make sure your stomach is warmed up and things are moving around, gurgling and such. I would start out with smoothies in the morning and during the day the second day after, then maybe some fruit towards the end…

  in What is the master cleanse? Comment by freewitheft
• scooter, I usually do the laxative tea in the morning instead of the saltwater flush, which is totally acceptable in the original protocol. I work in the middle of the night and leave shortly after waking up, so the saltwater flush isn't practical e…

• leafygreen, I have a copy of the original book (it's short!) by Stanley Burroughs written in the 70's. It used to be posted online but it's a dead link last time I checked. You can email me at freewitheft@yahoo.com if you'd like me to send it to you…
