• Some things you can look into are megadoses of Vitamins C or D (separate protocols), the Budwig protocol (not raw), fasting, and acupuncture. HTH!

• Bushcrazyraw, I think that's an important point - doing what is right for us, right now. To me, the leading criterion of a good diet is the effect it has on one's lifespan and quality of life as we age. It seems that the only culture that has gotten…

• Glad you're doing better. :) Who knows, you may have hit a spell of major detox and your body is now catching up with clearing out the toxins. It seems like no two Master Cleanses go the same way, even with the same person. lol On my first, I felt g…

• I agree with pp, you said you were totally freaking out and that's definitely not helping! I know it's hard not to, but even subtle stuff can affect bp. Ever heard of White Coat Syndrome? Some people have elevated bp just because it's a nurse or doc…

• AFAIK, the consensus is that you can stay on medication while doing the MC. But, if you're going to take it, take it after you've done the saltwater flush so it doesn't just get flushed out. As to whether I would take them, I guess it would depend o…

• malchusmom, don't worry too much about the weight loss. I swear, you don't really lose more than your body can stand. I did a 20-day in July, started the same day as a friend who was doing a 10-day. She lost 10 pounds in the first 5 days. I didn't w…

• malchusmom, I'm glad you're feeling better. You can totally see the difference in your posts. :) Be sure to post when you get ready to do the liver cleanse. Maybe I'll join ya! At some point, I want to fit in a parasite protocol too. lol

• luxdivon, try Redbridge gluten-free beer. I've been gluten-free for 1.5 years now and it's my favorite. I was surprised because it's an Anhauser-Busch product, which at least makes it easier to find or have ordered. I thought I would like something …

• Big thumbs up on the borage oil and turmeric. If you think any condition might be a result of inflammation (like most autoimmune conditions!), those supplements are of great help. Also, I use a lot of fresh pineapple in my smoothies because the brom…

• I have MS, which is considered autoimmune and diet with supplements is a huge part of healing myself. I know that, in general, using a "low immune-reactive" diet is helpful for all kinds of autoimmune disorders, like rheumatoid arthritis, so it coul…

• I stopped using toothpaste a while back and no problems so far. I brush my teeth frequently and do a salt water rinse at least once a day. I was reading about how so many of us have problems with enamel wearing off our teeth. Turns out that the prob…

• swayze, the other reason the children would, of course, be underweight is that they are using charts formulated with a bias towards obesity, beginning with the inclusion of formula-fed babies! It just goes downhill from there.

• Yes, you will have the tea twice day. At night, you have 1 cup. In the morning, you either have a second cup, or do the saltwater flush. You want an herbal tea with senna in it. Smooth Move is popular, but I bought straight senna leaf by Alvita. I b…

• harryandthephoenix, I too have a mild case of MS...or HAD. lol I've been doing a lot of work over the last year and a half to heal myself. I'm not 100% raw, I try to stay raw all day then have a cooked dinner. I also adhere to the Best Bet Diet and …

• The green superfood probably had a lot of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is an amazing internal deodorizer, I can't believe no one's mentioned it! I take chlorella (algae) that is really high in chlorophyll, added to my smoothies. I get it as a loose powd…

• Raw garlic!!!!! As much as you can stand. ;) I'm talking 6-8 cloves a day. You should reek of the stuff, that means enough of the sulfur is getting in your lungs to be beneficial. I try to remember to eat a clove every day just for good health but I…

• Well, I'm satisfied that it's no worse than any other decent sweetener (stevia is probably the safest, but I don't like the aftertaste) so I shall keep using it. I prefer it to maple syrup and honey because it doesn't have a distinct flavor. What I …

• SWF is 2 TEASPOONS (not tablespoons) of sea salt to 32 oz warm water. Please folks, read the book first so you don't hurt yourself. The salt/water balance is very specific to make it isotonic - the same concentration as your blood - so it won't be a…
