One good way to battle it is to make sure you go (I assume you mean in theaters?) with a very, very full stomach. Feast on live food before you go - then the temptation will be slim - also, bring...

Hey - we should form a club! I'm 55, too - and just started again. I hadn't done raw very long, but when I did, I felt great - but, still, I went back to SAD. :confused:

Don't look back. Just do...

My surgeon - after I had a colon resection. Same as forcing yourself to pee time after time can cause bladder to 'drop' (add age to make it all worse, lol).

What do I mean by straining? Well - by...

Decided to chime in this interesting conversation. :D

Please, please - please... don't ever 'force' yourself to go. Straining can cause diverticulitis - and believe me, you don't want this horrid...

Thanks so much.

I decided it was time to break my fast. I am SOOOOO happy - I did it for more than a week - more than I could have ever imagined, and food never tasted so good to me.

Have to...

Thanks, gingincal & spicyfull!

I'm making sure I do prayer/relaxing/mediation times - I check my BP before & after, and it really makes a difference.

I know that 55 yrs of bad eating/bad health...

Lightning struck - right next door - apartment building next to us!! I knew it was close, but didn't realize til the fire trucks were in front of my house (apt)! I talked to one of the...

Sad to say, right out of the faucet. I don't have any cash for a filter - if I returned the cheap juicer I got and went on raw foods, I could get a cheap filter to attach to the faucet.

BUT - I...

Thanks, cibra!



Yes, I second the advice! (except, I never had experience breathing aluminum dust mixed w/coolant! I can, however, list a whole bunch of stuff NOT to do - like telling oneself...

Queen Bean - I think what you went through is so very normal. From what I've read, you seem very strong - you just have a tender heart!

I had many, many issues with my parents. It was so difficult...

I'd love to - but I seriously have no money at all right now, and it looks like things are going to be very, very tight for awhile. Of course, first thing I need to get (hope to get :D ) is a decent...

Hey, cibra - same here!!:( I'm 55 and have way too many health issues, many of the same (I don't have Crohn's, but some days I feel like an old lady from all these ailments!)

I have a harder time...

Help!

I have more than one medical problem, and I'm trying to improve some, if not all, first with fasting, then with raw food.

First, I have a fistula which may require surgery. For that, I'm...

Well, I'm starting to freak out. My blood pressure has gone UP! :eek:

I have a home unit - took it this morning - last reading was 167/100!

I know that water fasting has proven to bring down...

That sounds awesome! I used to garden when I had my own house - found that arugula would even grow through the snow, here in Massachusetts.

I do think I'll research shade plants, and just get few...

Hey, acjazz28 - that's lovely!

I have a porch - but there is absolutely no sun at all. :(
Of course, I love the shade, (and rain, too) so my home is perfect for me - but not for growing...

Thanks so much for the welcome!

Today I'm aching (I also have fibromyalgia) and need to get in to make some more juice - hungry!

Nurse in the raw - I went over on the juice feaster's thread......

Tara -

This is the best thing you could do to help your body heal - and this forum is the greatest.

Been doing that - but just now I made a green juice & think I reached a limit... never felt full on SAD..

I realized that when I started to feel weak, or grumpy, I needed another juice. Honestly,...

Thank you, Mattye!

Thanks, Aleesha! I don't have the juice feast book - kinda just doing my own thing here - juice, water, and the occasional herbal tea (chamomile & mint - 'sposed to help heal diverticulitis).
...

Thanks, Jacsam.



Yes - I sure did! I love to cook - so I'm getting excited about creating with raw, instead. This is soooooo great!

I'm in the Boston area, but haven't been able to get to...

I'm back (too!) and I've already started. I'm doing a juice fast - I NEVER thought I'd be able to do this... I feel terrific and am SO glad my body went in revolt and forced me to change my evil...

Hey - I've been away from raw for a couple of years (I think - have some major Part-Timers going on here. :D ), but I am back - and in my 5th day of a juice fast. Woo-hoo!!

Started out bad -...
