Wow girl that's some talent you have there!
Cherry...I am confused. You are on day 55 of a juice fast, and you're constipated? That makes no sense..this may sound like a stupid question considering your situation, but are you getting enough fluids?
I'm wanting to do a fast once I quit my work next week...it's a really good thing so I'm super excited! What are ya'll's favorite juicers? I had a juiceman Jr that I loved that literally lasted like almost five years....I had a champion and hated ...
Profile Information
- About Me:
- Interested in sustainable living, transitioning to at least 60-70% raw right now, meeting other like minded people who also want to change and help balance out our planet! I feel change coming...are we ready? My raw food journey is about making healthier choices that I know are right for me. I'm playing with it, because I have a few nut allergies, so it's taking some time for me to get it right for "me". *grin* I love to laugh, play, spend time with my kids, love on my hubby, give hugs, make other people feel good, and always strive to do the right thing! *grin*
- How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
- I'd like help on getting through this Detox! Ughh. LOL Moral support would be great, making new friends even better!
- Relationship Status:
- Married
- Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
- spring rolls
- Interests (outside of Raw Food):
- Spending time with my family, aromatherapy, making my own bath creations, working with animals, any of the creative drawing modalities like charcoal drawing, watercolors, colored pencils, hell even crayons. LOL Coloring is therapeutic to me! LOL Oh and red wine from Sicily. I know it's not organic, but it relaxes me. LOL
- Favorite Books or Authors:
- The Red Tent by Anita Diamant; Aradne's Thread by Shekhinah Mountainwater; and anything by Eckhard Tolle

I'm so excited!
So I got some early Xmas money from my Grandmother. I went to Whole Foods! LOL I was finally able to buy Maca,Mesquite, and Cacao powder. This morning I made what I call my "Energy" Smoothie. I added the maca, mesquite, cacao, two frozen organic banannas, cinnamon, rice milk, and a little bit of honey. (I was out of my Agave and dates) And it rocked! I've felt energetic and happy all morning. Had a mango for a snack later. I'm so proud of myself for doing the raw thing. I know it's what I need t… Continue

- Hi there Melissa!
For the liver flush I followed Hulda Clarks recipe. You can check it out on Curezone.com
Just type in liver flush and the exact recipe will come up.
It was not horrible but not pleasent either. It was my first time and I did not know what to expect. I plan on doing my second one this coming weekend. I feel it will go easier, and some info that is not stated in the recipe....should always start drinking water as soon as you get up, and stay hydrated.

- Melissa!! Thank you for the sweet comment on my blog page. I am always stunned when I find out someone reads them. Sometimes I feel like I am just writing to myself. I appreciate your vote of confidence. I feel a lot of confusion right now and it is nice to know that I have a friend beside the fam in Austin. Austin would make the most sense b/c of the fam.But it is nice to know that no matter what I have folks like you in my corner. Lots of love!!

- We will definitely have to get together the next time!! You can get me out into the big city of Austin a bit more!! LOL!! You should watch Dhrumil's video called "Food, Love, and Acceptance"....gave me great insight on how to deal with questioning from friends and fam. I was so moved by it that that's what made me dig further and join this site.As for the book, I am digging it..will keep you updated on how it effects my jean size ! :-} But it really makes sense to me!!
Much love and light to you,
Anita

- My family is right outside of Austin in Wimberley...was just there for Thanksgiving and my sister's wedding! I am really liking Natlaia Roses's book...Raw Detox Diet. Have you read it? It is helping along this raw path and not making me feel guilty about the occassional, high quality, rightly combined cooked meal.

- Planning and more planning!! And how blessed am I to have a Leaf (raw restaurant) right by my house and by my work!! But basically I bring a lot of fruit for the daytime, pack a nice raw salad for lunch (bringing my raw dressing), a larabar, and my green lemonade (per Natalia Rose). If I don't have time to pack a lot up, I run over to Whole Foods to make a salad at lunch or grab something at Leaf.

You're suppose to be able to pick the leaf out of the middle - and it comes out realllllllll easy - if it's ripe.
It should smell ripe too.
pineapple eats everyone. Its true. Aloe vera water maybe?
Your dog is sooo cute! I have a dog too and two cats, and I looove them! I feed them wheatgrass and they actually choose that before regular grass wich they normally chew on in the garden.
I decided to have a 50/50 raw/cooked meal at Vita last night, having had a desire for warm meals for last couple of weeks. They had a Vegan Paella, it was amazing but it's only the second time I have had grains for a year and I had headache soon a...
