Hello, I'm the worst ever at keeping in touch with technology. I didn't even realize you posted on my page till now, you made the comment in may. I have no idea how I missed that. Yes, I have been to Omars, was there last week actually. I'm home for about two months now so lots of Omars for me. Things are good for me, how is AZ and the Tree? I would love to come and visit there for about a month. Maybe next year I can swing that.
Hi! I am new here. I joined actually because of your picture--you look so radiant and healthy, and I said to myself, that's a person I need to know. I have been vegan for 13 years and began eating 100% raw for 2 weeks now. I am open to any advice, tips, direction--you seem to know all about this lifestyle. Thanks!
Reading your posts makes me want to buy that house across the street from the TOL so I could walk there every day like I originally intended. Were you a participant at the spirit dance 2 years ago?
Hi Isabel,
I wish it were that fast and easy, and I wish I could give you a formula. Unfortunately, how long it takes each person to detox depends much less on someone's age, but rather on the intersection between the level of toxicity of the bod...
thanks!

Thank you guys for the advice!
Freelee, i have learned about food combining before, I guess I was just hoping that in the raw environment it would be different. But it's ok! I just want to feel good.
huh...interesting...maybe that's why an apple and peanut butter level my blood sugar out. geezzz. i just suggested that. hmmnnn...i feeling kind of dumb b/c it has been one of my go to's when i have a stomach ache. i need to do some proper food co...
well...i'm pretty new to this. i'm not totally raw yet. plus, i'm just learning more about nutrition. i get bad stomach cramps sometimes when i'm running late in the morning and only have my morning coffee. on my way to work, i get cramps and don'...
The best thing to do is drink green juices. Juice 2 lbs of greens per day. You are working from an old paradigm of health. Doing protein drinks doesn't help anyone. From your description you are not eating greens at all. You need to eat greens to ...
Learn about proper food combining, this is vital. Fruit is designed to be eaten alone, if eaten with fat,the fat keeps the sugar in the bloodstream for an unnatural length of time feeding problems such as candida, diabetes, adrenal fatigue etc. It...
