I want to thank everyone who has participated in this RawFoodTalk.com forum. There have been some amazing exchanges here and so many words of wisdom spoken. But its time for me to close this board. I am moving on to new ventures and feel that its time for me to let this go. A forum of this size takes loads of money, time and energy. I have not been keeping up with the forum upgrades, the spam problems, etc…. which is resulting in many disgruntled emails and people calling the office daily. I’m sorry to disappoint the many of you who have spent your time and wonderful words of help and inspiration here. I hope that you have all benefited from this board and that it has helped you on your path to optimal health. I know many of you have made lasting friendships here as well. I will leave this board up for a month of so, so that you may copy what you need and any information you would like to save.

Thank you for being part of the RawFoodTalk.com community! It’s been a wonderful ride! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for all of you and of course, you can keep up with my adventures through my blog, Facebook and twitter. I am continuing my certification trainings and there will be some exciting new classes, events and projects coming into fruition in the near future!

All my best,
Alissa

i found that the first few days i was doin the tea it didn't seem to anything but give me cramps 6 hours after taking it. But within the past two or three mornings its actually helped a lot with my movements and the cramps have ceased. So maybe if you stick with it for a bit your body with adjust accordingly. well good luck with everything! remember how much you're body is loving you for doin this!!!! :)

sounds like you're doin great! I'm in the middle of the MC as well. . . So i wish you all the best. From what I've read Celtic sea salt is preferred for this cleanse. I'm personally doin it with himalayan salt just cause I'm over stocked on it right now.

Yes your next 1st day will be awesome! I did the MC in January and it helped me to stop smoking and cleaned a bunch of 'gunk' out of my body! My job is very relaxed and I could go home and take a nap when I needed to. The owner of the Company is a real blessing and very understanding. Since I've gone raw - if we need to entertain Clients - he always makes sure it's at a restaurant that will accomodate my lifestyle! You'll love the MC ;) - blessings!

Well - when you DO decide to continue MC -- you'll love it ! I did it in January and it helped me to quit smoking - it was awesome. But I understand about the work thing - thankfully - I live close to work - and my boss doesnt care if I go home or whatever - so the demands upon me were minimal. Good luck! (oh and have you heard of mucoid plaque ? do a google search on it - it's gross!)

thank you guys sooo much! i took all of your advice. I got some avocados and made sushi yester day. Yes i cook the rice but i know i cant be 100% raw without quiting right now. So like rawbeliever said i'm going to work my way into raw slowly. And Dj 247, i think fast food is a drug! i think they put something in that stuff!! hhaha. veraleeveralee i bought everything you said and i feeling much muhc much better! what would i do with out this board!

Fast food is a habit. This is how I broke that habit. First I quit eating fries. After I got over not eating fries I quit eating hamburgers and started eating chicken or fish. Then I dropped the chicken and was just eating fish. After that I started drinking water instead of soda. This was key to nixing cravings for carbs/fats. Now I find it is not worth waiting in the drive-thru for a fish sandwich and a water. lol

Get yourself some avocados, some mangoes, some bananas, a few nuts, some strawberries and apples and pears. Eat.

Instead of looking at it as depriving yourself of the other food, look at it as nourishing your body with as many phytochemicals (stuff from plants) as you can. Think about your cells, longing for those wonderful nutrients, and all jumping with joy when the good stuff comes down the chute for them.
That's what I'm tying to do, anyway. :)

yikes! Stay strong, Nickiepinks. You might want to consider transitioning more slowly. 100% raw is hard. Really hard. For almost everybody. (Although it's been my experience that it's also totally worth the trouble and difficulties). Some people find it works better for them to move into it more slowly, over a longer period of time. I think the Boutenkos wrote a book that involves transitioning: 12 Steps to Raw Foods.

Anyway, best wishes & keep going, it really is worth it,
