Hi everyone, just joined after reading through the forum the whole morning. I'm living in Cyprus (very hot around here, so nowayI can do sprouting sadly, also my thumbs are truly black and anti-growing anything at all!).
Anyway I found this forum when searching a garlic 'treatment' on a rather sensitive 'woman's problem'. And then I went on to chchecking out what this forum is all about.
I'm not ready yet to go full raw food, however I've been making a bit of headway in the direction of eating healthier and lately I've been juicing - got a juicer earlier this year and I'm having fun with various veggie recipes or simply carrots straight.
One of the reasons I'm afraid of really going all 'raw' is because I have GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux) and I can't eat anything with acid, like lemons, grapefruits, orange & co, or tomatoes, etc. So I'm really limited in my choices of what to juice raw. Also I've seen a post on colon detox - I'm pretty much sure I wouldn't be able to do that either, my acid would flare up so much I'd end up in the hospital. So right now I do what I can and just try to eat as healthy as possible.
Sorry about the long intro post - I'm long winded in that sense!

Welcome!! I wish you the best of rawesome health!! Stick to what you know you can tolerate for now, but bear in mind that as you progress and heal, you will likely be able to tolerate foods you could not before.
