    We've always had options as many on here know and who are slowly transitioning. For me, what Victoria said just gives me more understanding as a teacher/student of this whole process.

    Thank you for listening and for your input.

    (hydrochloric acid ) Ok this is something else I have tried to find out about and the concern is, if you take the hydrochloric acid orally, when starting RAW you wont give your body the chance to build up its own. Instead by having a transition period say 80-90% raw for a month or even longer, your body might build up its own acids. I would love to know what is the right way = to take or not to take hydrochloric acid ? I understand Alissa's way and she is very much a happy medium in raw- but she was very healthy to begin with. For me, I took 3 weeks at 95% and then went 100% but had lots of gas etc... for about 4 weeks . For my aunt who is 50 years old with many health issues, her Naturopathic/chinese medicine doctor told her it would take at least 8 months to get to 100%, right now she's 3 months in at 70% raw. So thats just it everyone is different and the question is for some =Transition period and hydrochloric acid - or transition to build up your own ? I love and respect Victoria's work soo much and I know she's doing all she can to help those who are having trouble being raw or going raw 100%. We are all in different states of illness and imperfection, I look forward to what further research will bring :) . P.S. I also just wanted to bump up the thread, hehe

    Ahhh, thanks. You're a sweetie. :)

    Well, I also had major bloating for a couple of months I think it was. One would have though I was about 5 months pregnant. Didn't take anything in particular for it... just went the way of the white clouds.

    For me, long as I'm relatively healthy, I do without any kind of supplementation. I think for those who are not as healthy, maybe extra enzymes and such would be needed so they can get the nutrients they need to heal faster. Good dialogue for thought here.
