skin

After being raw for 7 months, my skin is going through some kinda weird transition. Help

This is NOT something I have experienced before and I am researching everything I can. The latest thing I have begun to think is that I have eaten soooooo many tomatoes, I have developed an allergy.; ▶ Reply to This

None of them could have diagnosed the true cause of my problem, nor could they have made the recommendations I needed since none of them knew my medical history, environment, etc. They certainly tried, though! I got all sorts of advice, plus I did a lot of research on my own. Finally, blood tests confirmed what my health issue was. I learned a major lesson: don't expect raw foodists to be able to diagnose my health issues!! We are all friendly and naturally want to help, but we aren't doctors. That being said, raw foodists with similar experiences to yours can lead you in the right direction to a diagnosis, which your doctor can test to confirm -perhaps before you start treating yourself. I hope you discover what the problem is and that you can easily take care of it!; ▶ Reply to This

I found that site earlier, it's very helpful. It lists the nutrients we need for good skin, ect. and the symptoms of deficiency. It sounds like your diet is lacking something, take a look at that site and see if any of your symptoms match up.; ▶ Reply to This
