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

The puppies play with the birds. In the main house our hatchlings are allowed to come out and "play" while the hatcher and pen in the eggs room are tended to. Some of the babies are incredibly friendly and will love o have their necks scratched and to be cuddles. Some peck at your shows and like little kids want to play tag.

They're a lot of fun unless it's a blood draw for NPIP. Then we have to have an emu rodeo. And those birds are strong!

For the most part the dogs play with the birds as the birds and dogs have grown up around each other.

Why do you chase an emu?

Definitely downing a tone of water. I've always followed the rule of thumb half an ounce of water per pound at least .. so I drink a ton of water throughout the day. I normally clear my pair of 32 ounce bottles twice a day still. .. but ugh for my tummy still.

As to coconut, it's a favorite! I just have to get through the hump and head to the allergist and see if I can tolerate it again.

It is so strange how allergies effect you differently if you change how you life!

They've all had white meat. Some has been thicker and firmer than others. I don't like it when it's slithery :)
Aleesha Sattva - 03-10-2013 01:00 PM
Ya, you want the meat to be firm. Not pink or grey...
MysticTree - 03-10-2013 12:45 PM
coconut water if you want to treat yourself is very pampering; I bought 2 young coconuts this weekend. I like the meat too but I didn't at first. I think these two were slightly older so the meat was less jelly-like.

drink a little more water today. it'll help flush the toxins out of you. (((hugs)))

remember that when you are fasting as well.
kitlynne - 03-10-2013 12:51 AM
Definitely worth it! <3
Aleesha Sattva - 03-09-2013 10:32 PM
cool!!! YOU are worth it. YOUR health is worth it.

and if it saves you fertilization meds and doctors... then it's worth it!

My hubby and I are looking at juicers now.. we'll see what we come up with!

Hmmm.. I may have to see if we can afford one. That's the big thing right now. Things are tight right now. :)

I'll let Aleesha talk about juicers. I'm not au fait with all the ins and outs of them all. I do like my champion which I got on Aleesha's recommendation
kitlynne - 03-09-2013 12:49 PM
I don't have a reliable juicer. . But I think I may try to remedy that. I've never been on a juice fast before. What would I need to do that hardware wise? I have an amazing Ninja blender.

And I have to sell my husband on it as well. Though he shouldn't be a hard sell at this point.
MysticTree - 03-09-2013 12:27 PM
Win/win :)
Aleesha Sattva - 03-09-2013 11:57 AM
why not join us in our 111 day fast? that'll clean up your body and increase you healing in a HUGE way.

plus... you'll release more of the weight you are wanting to get rid of.

Alesha & Mystic, I really hope so!

I have cystic overies and a lot of uterine scarring from a number of miscarriages earlier in life that resulted in a blocked tube. If things start working on their own that would be pretty amazing.

I am more than relieved that I went raw again verse the diet that my doctor was encouraging. Eating that much meat protein unless is was emu (it's weird... My family raises emu as livestock) I felt heavy, bloated and miserable, and I was always hungry!

Now, I feel full, satisfied after I eat and if I'm hungry I can make amazing tasty treats that are pretty much guilt free!

I'm checking out that link and have been reading to colonics thread. Getting rid of all the old stuck stuff could be a good thing but it sounds pretty scary!

It's one of the things BodyTalk does realllly well - help get mamas pregnant!

Exactly what Aleesha said :)But also, the stress/pressure on you right now as being the person responsible for "fixing" the getting pregnant thing has a huge and detrimental effect on getting pregnant. Do you meditate? If not, I really recommend it and I bet Aleesha's bodytalk sessions would be immensely beneficial too.
