Anyone Get Pain In Their Liver After Eating Fats?
Are you certain it's your liver? I would cut the fats for 2-4 weeks and see if that helps. I would also suggest you watch how much sodium you're eating. That isn't going to help your liver. In hea...

Is it possible to gain weight eating 80/10/10
I was eating a no fruit high-fat diet for a long time and was crazy skinny. Since starting 811 over a year ago, I've gained 15 lbs and am at 4% body fat. It really helps to strength train, as the o...

What is a typical day of eating for you? Are you exercising? Sleeping enough? Staying hydrated? Dark urine sounds like you might be a bit dehydrated, among other things. Are you taking any suppleme...

Fruits and vegetables.

Best wishes
I stopped taking that stuff years ago. Save your money. Just my opinion.

I'm certainly no natural hygiene expert. I just know that they are of the school of thought that your body knows best, and random supplementation without a clear-cut reason for it is not the best way. I don't know if we can even test MSM levels. I...
I wonder if Paul would still eat durian. Vitalis is pushing meat and dairy now? Sigh....
I'm pretty sure they would stay away from any crystalline processed white powder. Taking in an isolated "nutrient" would prevent your body from achieving true homeostasis, and decrease your health and vitality.

I think the real problem is greed, and I'm afraid that will exist under any economic system.
Sounds pretty nuts to me. Just go outside and eat bugs, if that's what gets you going :)
Hey Trent, in mainstream circles, they restrict all overt fats and put patients on low fat vegan diets. 811 is just the raw equivalent.
In the opinion of many health professionals, anyone with diabetes would do well to water fast. They will typic...
Hello Trent,
Most health professionals outside the raw movement treat candida by restricting dietary fat. Candida thrives in an oxygen-depleted environment, and we know that fat hampers the uptake and distribution of oxygen to the cells for up to...
I had candida after eating a no fruit raw diet for 6 months. After 3 days on 811 it was gone. Just my personal experience.
There are a lot of testimonials of diabetics recovering on the 811 diet. I don't think it's physically possible to become insulin resistant eating fresh fruit. Dr. Joel Furhman (Eat to Live) has treated thousands of diabetics and does not restrict...
If I were you I really wouldn't stress about only buying locally, especially that far north and in the winter. In my opinion, when a diet is really easy to follow, it makes it better, and vice versa.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by imp...
Profile Information
- About Me:
- Been raw since 2006, 811 for the last year and a half and have never felt/performed better.
Since going from no fruit high-fat raw to 811, I've put on 14 lbs while still remaining at 4% body fat.
I recently got a blood test and every marker was near perfect. I really believe that diet is only a small part of the health equation and that it is equally important to get daily vigorous exercise, plenty of sleep, plenty of FUN, plenty of sun, fresh air, and everything else that is healthy.
I feel pretty confident and haven't had any issues with raw. I would like to help anyone that is currently having problems. I strongly believe that being a raw vegan is the healthiest possible diet and if someone is having problems there is usually an easy solution :)

- I'll take your advice on eating at ton of concord grapes. I'm so blessed with our local produce on Vancouver Island! From what I have researched the local agriculture provides out bodies with what they need to either thin or thicken the blood. Likewise our local plants provide us with the most suitable antioxidants through local berries, so when we eat foods that would not grow naturally in our climate we are sending our body a mixed message as far as what is should be doing... thickening or thinning blood etc. Does that make any sense?

nope. i don't like to label myself if I can help it.
I am not handy enough.
I would encourage you to eat oranges instead Vampi. Whole food is always best. Oranges are a perfect food; lots of sugar, and lots of fiber to slow down the absorption into the blood stream. Take out all the fiber and you've got a blood sugar spik...
thanks LL...
ohhh Vamps,you are cute
what "groundbreaking discoveries" have been made in recent years, just asking ;)
I only use them if necessary, like if Im ordering at a restaurant, or if someone asks me about my diet.
yes people seems to have this tendency, I do too...
since I find no reason to believe in 'allergies' against 'natural' appropriate stuff, I would think it's more likely just the fact that pineapple if bought in store is pretty much always unripe. Not that it matters to the situation perhaps.
...but...
I write poems (mostly in Seussian rhyme), articles on health, and am working on a couple of books on health...
Nicolas have you ever had a pineapple that does not give symptoms. In my experience around these hoods where we are there are practically no ripe pineapples..or perhaps a few dunno
Yes ma'am. Resting as completely as possible with eyes closed; getting enough water; avoiding too much sun; avoiding toxic substances (personal care products, cleaning products, etc.)
I enjoy writing about the deepest darkest secrets of my heart, about things I dont want to share with anyone..or lack the guts to share. Love letters mostly, but not always. If I have a dream I want to remember Ill write it down.
I'm assuming "fasting properly" means RESTING while fasting?
Come on woman! No time like the present! We may now have one more spot for our March 20 to May 22 internship session; this is truly a life-changing program and an amazing bargain...
