- About Me:
- I am a student at Columbia College Chicago, and I am interested in the practice of raw eating. It all started when i went to a raw restaurant on the northside called Cousin's Incredible Vitality. I do not eat raw, but like I said I like too sometimes and am interested in the lifestyle.
- How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
- I would love to be informed and just informed about this way of living and eating.
- Relationship Status:
- Single
- Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
- I love this dandelion salad I get at Cousin's raw restaurant.

Inquire about everything.
Enjoy listening to music, intellectual conversations, ultimate frisbee, snowboarding, picnics, magazines

Going to a therapist can help you to be clearer with yourself and with others about what's bothering you. But I don't think it really changes how you feel.

Very, very cool
I like the part of the article that says, "Ideas relating to the 21st of December 2012 have been circulating like a powerful cheese fart." lol
Hi. I have nothing against therapists and many of my friends have had alot of success with them. Me personally though, not really.

Hi Elise,
I take it that the high price is gladly refunded if it "doesn't take".
Baby, this answer rocks. I understand it completely. I did quite a lot of pills over a 2 year period in my 20s and got to experience all of what you described in your 1st paragraph. When I keep my raw diet pure and stay away from nuts, I feel the ...
Congrats, bro.

I think most people want to do this because they need attention, not because it really turns them on... maybe different for the people watching? personally don't want any more secreted bodily fluids to avoid in the city.. isn't there enough piss e...
yes she is :)

Full disclosure - I work as a therapist.
Yes, it helps.
But you should know that the value of it can't be described by the speed of the healing process or whether you're looking or seeming perfect. Therapy is about coming to terms and coming back...
I always used to get sick on foods from restaurants, but the same meal I prepared at home wouldn't make me sick.... restaurants tend to drown foods in butter and oils, you've probably been eating less of those since going on those diet.
No problem at all. We're all here to support each other in our journeys. :D
with a manual camera I used a slow shutter speed (1/5) and kept my head moving side to side. i used Photoshop to get the contrast and color look.
thanks -- it makes me really enjoy being sick!
respect,yb.
