qwerty - could you elaborate on how you make your kale salad? That sounds different than most kale salad recipes I've seen. Is there anything besides kale, avocado and nutritional yeast?

Hey Eva - you must be pretty far along by now. Hope everything is still going good for you. Would love to hear an update if you have time. :)

Unless the laws are drastically different in your state (or country), your son's teacher isn't legally allowed to make any kind of diagnosis of there being something medically "wrong" with him....

If your blender is leaving chunks, perhaps you could use your juicer to make a smoothie by stirring the juice, pulp, and water to the desired consistency. Both green juice and green smoothies will be...

Zinny, is there any chance it's not just a normal period? I had an early miscarriage not too long ago, and while it looked like a period on the surface, it was much more painful.

Welcome, sbarsotti. I think you should spend some time (while eating healthy) contemplating your options for healing. Try not to focus less on weight loss. If that needs to come, it will come with...

Hey Chincha, I don't know whether you've isolated anything as causing your constipation, I just wanted to share a couple tips that might help.

I don't know whether you consume any dairy, but it...

I just tried this yesterday!

It's funny, how when something is such a cultural standard, so many of us don't even question it as a necessity. Even after I had read about eating raw corn, I...

Sounds painful! Have you tried anything yet? I would dab tea tree oil on them, or swish with salt-water. Also be sure if you have any food sensitivities to be extra careful to avoid them. I know some...

Michelle, as I read your post, I notice as soulvibe did, the heavy reliance on nuts and seeds. Despite that, I wonder whether you are eating enough. If you under-eat, your detox will be more intense....

I believe Arky meant to direct that question to Eatrawordie.

I agree, # 1 doesn't sound like a detox symptom to me.

Think carefully about the way # 2 feels. If it is actually your throat swelling, that is dangerous, and not detox. There are lymph nodes and...

(((Climbing))) big hugs to you; that sounds like such a traumatic experience. I agree that fasting isn't the issue. I would continue fasting, and suspect that you will be able to process the...

I am surprised also that you find avocados to have strong flavor. Perhaps you could look up some recipes for avocado puddings. Coconuts (young) are also a good source of fat.

If your body is...

Glad to see you checking in here again. :) Good for you for kicking the bread/dairy habit again. And hopefully your BF now realizes how much that junk can truly affect you.

I agree that you...

Queen Bean, I think the reason is, as you hypothesized, due to the severe shellfish allergies some people have.

Beyond that, for vegan concerns, it would seem to me like the equivalent of not...

During an extended fast, your digestive system is shut down. So eating solid food before it's up and running again- especially large amounts, or non-vegan items -can be very dangerous.

This is...

(((Gossy))) - just wanted to give you a virtual hug.

Also to say that just because you told your boss you would come back to work doen't mean you have to stick with that response at the expense...

Meat Juice, for the time being, I am going to give you the benefit of my doubt here, and assume that you are approaching this honestly, if awkwardly (starting multiple threads, not reviewing existing...

ephbulay, I don't think anyone has called you on this yet, but you are resurrecting several old threads without adding much to the conversation. It looks like you are just promoting your toothpaste,...

It sounds somewhat like hives/allergies. Have you always broken your fasts the same way? When I get hives, they resemble small mosquito bites, and they itch. I don't get them in the same place as...

Some people use seawater instead of crystalized salt for the times that they desire added salt in their food- as a more natural, fully mineralized option.

As far as drinking it though, our bodies...

Like others, I have read/heard that you should chew your smoothies. And yes, I believe it is important to get the enzymes in there before swallowing to get the greatest nutritional benefit. However,...

You do not have to buy a kit, only the simple ingredients. You will probably find many threads in the fasting section of this board regarding it, and there are also many forums dedicated specifically...

First off, I want to say that eating raw the rest of the day is absolutely better than eating SAD the rest of the day. Make sure you don't belittle her or pressure her because of this shortfall. A...
