Just shared this in another thread, sorry to be repeating! But cutting out the fats seemed to really do it for me; I also started out with a two day water fast and lots of rest, and that was...

I had candida problems for years, and I followed the directions for a two day water fast followed by 8/1/1. Completely did the trick for me. It also seemed to help with stopping the recurring UTIs...

I have both his newest set of CDs, "Perfect Health," and I bought the DVDs when they first came out. While there is some overlapping, I'm glad I have both. A lot depends on how you prefer to...

I've found that the longer I'm raw, the simpler the food, and the simpler the food, the lower the costs. The farmer's market idea is a good one, especially if you get to know some of the vendors. We...

I'm one of the 'eat fruit, low-fat,' folks as well. I had tried the other route, but it did not seem to work for me, and it was pretty bland, as well. Like Rawkinlocs, it only flares up when I eat...

Hi, I haven't posted for a while, due to some computer difficulties followed by physical problems occasioned by a fall (my right arm is suffering with tendonitis, making it difficult to type or...

I know what you mean about the struggle; I'm considering myself lucky that we are mostly at home this year, and all my husband has requested as a 'special' food at Christmas is eggnog--and he's happy...

Just wanting to wish everyone a happy holiday season, and to let you know I'll be off the computer from tomorrow through January 3rd. Olive, I do plan to start the juice fast with you beginning...

Hi, Todd,

I only did the one day, because the 15 water gain caused a severe peaking of my blood pressure, along with severe shortness of breath, and exacerbated some other health issues I was...

Just my two cents...I did the master cleanse thing a while ago, and while the 'lemonade' part of it was all right, I had some real serious reactions to the salt flush. First of all, it didn't...

Congratulations, Linda! Mind, body, spirit, it all goes together. Wishing you well!

Peace, Valerie

Congratulations!

I'm aiming to end Christmas Eve, but if I find myself fighting cravings before then, I'll let it go and just eat some fruit. I've learned the hard way that it's better for me to be moderate and...

So far, so good; I'm drinking more than I thought I would, but it seems to be slowing down a little bit now. I've been using straws to drink the juice (to help protect my teeth from too much...

These look amazing! Thanks for sharing this....

Peace,
Valerie

What he has to say about enzymes I've seen in another raw food forum, with Dr. Doug Graham. Like Karen said, our experience speaks for itself, but I think Frederic is right in that is important for...

This reminded me of a suggestion someone made to help me get a more realistic view of all the "special days"...it was suggested that I get a calendar, and starting with holidays, put a big red X...

I've read that it's better to deminerlize water and get rid of the impurities that are in there as well, and get your minerals through fruits and veggies. Apparently, the minerals in water are not in...

Hi, Olive,

I'm just doing an OJ fast right now that will last up to Christmas Eve, then I will have a week of eating with family and all around, but I will plan to do a juice fast with you...

Just a little with my salad every night; for instance, one or two of Alissa's falafels crumbled in my salad.

Peace,
Valerie

I've been away from the board for a few days, but just started an orange juice fast today that I plan to continue till Christmas Eve. May I join you folks?

Peace,
Valerie

Sorry I didn't answer earlier, haven't been much on the computer since Friday. RE: STarchiness, I think it depended on the kind of potato you used; she used new red potatoes which dried very crisp...

For the moist items, I have kept them for 7-10 days with no spoilage. Things that are very dry can be kept much longer.

Peace,
Valerie

Hi, Lisa,

That is so kind! Things are changing, for sure, and for the better, but I'm not quite ready to say I am glowing with shiny hair! (In fact, thinning hair has been one of my problems the...

I won't be fitting the shopping cart theory for a while, because I still have a lot of weight to lose, but my cart is more and more filled with fruit and veggies. :o I'm looking forward to being one...
