Still mostly a raw fooder. Experimenting with yang foods, and different sugars. Doing more mediterranean lately and seem to do well on low sugar, spring water and really, really good fats. Oh, and tons of parsley.

Favorite Quote:
That would be cool if you could eat a good food with a bad food and the good food would cover for the bad food when it got to your stomach. Like you could eat a carrot with an onion ring and they would travel down to your stomach, then they would get there, and the carrot would say, "It's cool, he's with me."

Hey, grill the entire fish sealed in with some veggies or you can steam the fish slowly right in there with your vegetables. Keep the fish nice and moist/tender so it's easier on the kidneys. Basil and black pepperize it and soak it in tons of lem...
hi joel, i saw on some forum posts you responded to about doing gallbladder/liver flushes and read what you had to say. ive been feeling pretty bad issues with congestion in my liver for quite sometime now and im wondering if i should do a flush and which one is right ect, ect. seems to me you have alot of knowledge on this subject so i was wondering if you could help me.
thanks for your time!
If you do not open them with metal, then how do you open your coconuts? If you have a special tool can you please show me what it looks like because I've been using a metal opener thats made especially for coconuts.
I know what you mean. When I went down to Florida I had my jump rope and it never once saw the skies of the sunshine state. I hope I can get back in the habit of just a little bit a couple of times each week. It's hard to believe it's almost July. What a difference one year can make (birthday coming up soon). I really look forward to what my life will be like around this time next year...
walking is good. recently i decided to kick up the regimen with some jump rope. boy, if there is one thing that will make you feel out of shape at first it is jumping rope. When I lived in Japan, back in my 20's, I would jump rope for half an hour like it was nothing. Now I am pushing 15 minutes...lol. But I have faith it'll come back in due time.
I am starting to miss the gym though:( or at least having my own weight set... but I have started free weight and that is good enough for now: )
i had the best watermelon in a while about a week ago. Was hanging over at a friends place picking off the produce during his BBQ. I wasn't really hungry but that watermelon, I think I could've off'd it alone. The city is good. I have been doing a lot of walking. Trimming down a wee bit. But we've had some pretty heavy rains for the past two weeks so not much outdoors exercise action. Yeah, I have been doing more juices. Maybe next week, I will go the full monty:)
don't agree with the whole raw food creating a damp environment thing because of the wildly different effects of different raw foods. i've found candida to respond to 100% raw, several different approaches.
I like to do fasts as well and I think the power in fasting is that its a remedial action, one part of the process of purifiying. For instance if you feel you have a lot of non-virtuous residue or spiritual obstacles to remove, you generate regret...
probably detox...detox is interesting and creative. thanks for the strength of putting it all out there! it takes a lot to stick with it when the body cleanses. you can do it though i can tell you know it....8^))
you need to whack it right around the top of the coconut with either a heavy handled knife or a machete..im an expert now and crack open those babies in no time....
are you having to take off the outer green shell,or just crack open the white coc...
we are hugely blessed to have Loren here i so agree...
ahh complete rest with eyes closed....sounds wonderful...just the not eating part for that long,i guess after a while you would lose your 'hunger' anyway ??
i would say give it time...if you are feeling flu like symptoms i would say you are detoxing...40 days isnt a long time,when you consider how long you havent been 100% well..your body will heal and clean house in its own time....
