I would call david klein($10), Jashpal Jayne($60) and true north health(free). An emergency water fast, green juice fast may be necessary
Just wanted to give an update that I was released today, so far have had some juice and water which seems to be going okay but things haven't been moving through quite yet; I'm being patient. For the remainder of the evening and all of tomorrow (a...
Hi Petrichor
Here is a perscription from one of my books for Ulcerative colitis:
Myrica cerifera 2 parts astringent
dioscorea villosa 2 parts anti-inflammatory
symphytum officinale 2 parts demulcent, vulnerary, astringent
valeriana officinals 1 ...

The Body Ecology Diet can help you. The book is easy to read and will guide you to recovering your colon health. Fruit and antibiotics should be avoided. They feed yeast and disrupt the natural colonies of bacteria and enzymes that digest your foo...
Yes Aloe in liquid would be really great. You can mix it with other things. If you do need some fruit juice I think pear is the most soothing. I would have 3 juices a day and mostly celery and cucumber but other things can be added in like basil t...

I have used heat and some light massage to help things move along, although it is very tender and not the most comfortable thing in the world. Oddly enough, I was mainly eating blended mango, bananas, banana-spinach smoothies, and blended papaya s...
No fever since Friday night which only lasted a few hours and was then gone. The attack came on Saturday night. Would I buy the aloe in liquid form? Also- what type of green juices would you recommend and how much per day? I'm hoping to check myse...
I would say relax, get out of that poison environment which kills people, we all know as hospitals. Stick to your diet, but in all regards rething your high fruit diet. Fruits are great, don't get me wrong, but sometimes kind of taking your body t...

Get real peaceful--- close your eyes and lay down. Go in your mind to the most beautiful place you can imagine and ask for an angel or deceased loved one to put their hands on you and give you healing.

Yes I think ginger tea would be ok especially if you had some other herbs to put in it. The warm liquid may help soothe the intestines. If you know where the obstruction is you could massage that area and apply a heating pad to try to loosen it up...
Hi! I wouldn't take fruit juices with acids like pectin, orange, grapefruit etc. if possible- only green juices, carrot and beet juice plus wheat germ oil, flax oil, aloe and ginger. Wheat germ oil is very healing and provides vitamin e which can ...
Steven- not much time to buy a real juicer though. Something I plan on purchasing when I have the money. I will check out Dr Berkson, thanks for the tips.
RGG- What kind of herbs are you taking? What type of diet did you switch to from 80/10/10. ...

Been Strugglin a Little
Only for the past couple of days, and I don't know why. Well, I may have a good idea. For some reason I have been adding a lot of nuts and seeds into my foods or recipes. Maybe that's the reason I am not feeling as wonderful as I had been a couple of weeks ago? Currently getting over a crohn's flare I know this is something I should not be doing, but depressed feelings have been floating around and I have been doing some emotional (yet still raw) eating.
Yesterday I went to a movie. Bef… Continue

A Month to Freedom
It's been just over a month since I've made my raw transformation. To sum it all up in a sentence: I feel wonderful!
Five weeks ago I was half-bedridden, coming home from work and hobbling straight to my couch with a heating pad and a lot of Tylenol and pain medication and that's where I'd remain until slinking off to bed later on that night. The pain and discomfort had become unbearable, a complete halt to my life. I sat on that couch for seven months waiting to wake up one day with an ease of… Continue

Frecia Barrozo said… - My body is going through so many changes. This past week, I've started to look old. I'm getting wrinkles all over my face and tons of break-outs. I feel really puffy in the face and hands. My lips are numb and I'm starting to get a bit of excema on my hands. It's so amazing! You can just feel all the toxins in your body, it's fantastic!
Tomorrow I'm going to my doctor to get a blood test and than next week a full physical.
I'm not detoxing just eating lots of raw veggies. When I started, I began eating a lot of superfoods and I was feeling great. I was also eating lots of raw cacao.
But, not too long ago, I had been praying and something told me to stop eating raw cacao because it was toxic to my body. I had no clue why I had received that thought so I looked into it.
It was funny because a few days before this I started feeling really weird and having a hardtime sleeping. I was feeling really unbalanced.
I found out that it's toxic for your adrenals & liver. My mother is from Peru and she has been telling me this since I was a child because I use to be addicted to chocolate. She would always remind that my grandfather and other family members have died of liver cancer due to the consumption of raw cacao. I always thought my mother was kidding. But it is true.
So very simply, I stopped consuming it:) I've just been listening to my body. Our bodies speak to us. My body tells me what to eat. I do my best to listen...and it's that easy, I'm excited to do a detox when the time is right. So, all is going great...I'm learning a lot!
What's happening right now with your health, more specifically?

- Hey!
I'm glad to hear from you:) It's good that you're doing better. Just keep your optimism. This is a great time of reflection for you..time to look deep inside yourself. There's a lot to discover within, it may be a hard task but as you well know, it's all worth it:)
You had asked when i began eating raw foods..I started the beginning of April 2009. Just recently, all is going great. Right now I'm experiencing some sensitivities to certain foods. My body is detoxing..it's showing on my skin. I feel so great because I'm seeing my body transform itself before my eyes:)
Are you doing a juice feast right now?

The Wire is a good one.
Am I the only one who got into Rome? I really enjoyed that series.
Six Feet Under was great too. HBO puts out some really good television I think.
thanks lemoned
yep i understood what you said about the left and right foot.
coordination is also something that i have to achieve in order to ride my horse well

because fasting is absence of intake and eating fruit is....eating fruit
eating fruit (or anything else) would not allow the body to go into the fasting state
Asiris, is that you in the picture? What are you doing??
He crossed the street in front of me while I was driving in my car.
Yeah, cuz Bear ain't worried about trying to survive. He's surrounded by a full film crew and sleeps at the Ramada or the Hilton at night. It's easy to make jokes when you're not worried about dying.
Not saying his show ain't entertaining, but do...
Not at all. Why would it be?
I used to watch that show religiously.
Survivorman is way more impressive Bear is just yummy to watch, even when he eats eyeballs. You gotta be hot to pull that off.
I love it cause it is an intense workout over a short period of time. My son had a "jump rope for heart" week at school that got me into it. It uses different muscles than running and also improves coordination a lot, and I was surprised how well ...
Survivorman is crazier, did you see that episode in the desert when he started talking to birds? But I still like Grylls better overall. I feel like there is more of a point in watching the show, you feel like you're learning something, lots of tr...

That's a pretty typical scene in a high fruit household. That an a ton of bananas. My dryer next to the washer has stacks of fruit carts on it. :)
Ever since I decided I could dedicate my life to this planet becoming a peaceful paradise. Everyday is intense with blessings in all their wonderful forms.
