How's everyone doing?
I'm just starting week 4 now. I drunk my urine aswell as the juices last week and it really stepped things up. The physical cleansing was really powerful and a massive emotional issue suddenly came to a head out of nowhere. I...

Profile Information
- About Me:
- I'm 30 and have been raw since September 07. I live near Exeter in Devon with my partner Francis, our daughter Poppy who is 4 and our dog Whisper. I make and sell some raw chocolate locally and I ran some healthy eating workshops recently in our village. I'm studying for a diploma in natural nutrition at the moment and want to start on some kinesiology soon. My journey with raw food is an important part of my journey to becoming a healer. I've previously worked with crystals and reiki and before that occupational therapy. I wanna put it all together sometime soon and put myself out there as a truly holistic therapist.

- Hi Claire
Thanks for your info on MMR.
I'm glad it caused you no probs with medical people. I feel so strongly about it but never really sure what to do about it. I've thought like you that I might go and pin up some leaftlets in the doctors surgery showing the other side of vaccinations.
The media over egg the seriousness of the illnesses, only two people have died of measles, and they were children with other immune system illnesses which is why they weren't given the vaccine as it would have harmed them, when I was a kid everyone got these illnesses. Young people today think they are far more dangerous and serious than they are due to media hype. Even in the autistic community most don't believe vaccines are linked, I don't think it is the reason for everyones autism but it makes some people very ill and it is outrageous it has never even been looked into to as to why that might be. I know now in the US they have made awards in court acknowledging MMR causing autism, one child's father was a neurologist and mother a nurse and lawyer. This chld was found to have a mitochondria disease which means this is accepted that she couldn't t metabolise it so it poisoned her.
Sorry for lengthy reply, yes people do get very terse on this site. I've noticed that.There are some interesting things every now and again though.
lots of love xx

- Hi Claire,
Thanks for your message a little while ago, I didn't get round to replying till now.
I'm glad you did not have vaccinations done, did you get any problems by refusing?
I was quite surprised to see a few people very pro vaccination on this site which seems a bit strange for holistic site.
anyway sending lots of love xxxx

Rich said… - Hi Claire, great to hear from you, we should all get together at some point.
I've only just moved down really so i don't know if the potlucks are still happening, but yeh i guess its something we could organise.
actually, i've never been to a potluck so i am not quite sure how it works, you'll have to explain it to me.

aryel said… - hi claire how are you thanks for your communication. Yes a passion of mine is to be part of a like minded community mainly raw with plenty of fruit and veg growing. What is your land like? Do you have buildings on the land. I have chillies that live with me 9 and 7. I would like to to do something with my land in andalucia it has 7 and half acres of land plenty of fruit and olive trees but it will be a gradual process rebuilding the house and adding eco round buildings and also money too. Anyways i be happy to communicate and be your friend look forward to hearing about your plans.
love and light aryel
