Aloha! I am 37 years old and a mother to a beautiful 12-year-old daughter. I am looking forward to learning more about the raw food lifestyle from the community here. I am still very new to this. My diet is currently about 50% raw.

I don't have one favorite quote. I have several. It changes from time to time. Currently, it's "Don't Waste the Pretty". =)

No worries. The pot luck is mostly for people just learning about raw foods and trying new things. I ask people to just bring one of their favorite salads or some fruit. I will send you an invitation.
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....
