I am caring, loving, loyal, sarcastic, funny, witty, charming, creative...
I love art, music, building random oddities and learning new things, regardless of their seeming uselessness in my everyday life. I love words in general, which is part of what drew me to pack-rat a ton of books.
I am currently surviving with a chronic autoimmune disease which brings on barrels of stress, fatigue, sensitivity to the sun, myalgia, chronic pain and depression; oh and not to mention, enough side effects from medication to make you want to kick someone in the face. (ok not really...but sometimes it does)
Since I am not completely convinced my conditions are merely genetic and/or incurable, I've decided to take a walk towards raw foods. Its a journey that I hope will bring me peace of mind and freedom from pain.
I deserve that much.
I look forward to meeting you all!

celery is hugely important in my diet,as i dont add salt to anything..when i do have the occasional piece of sunbread or raw chocolate which contains salt,i reallllly feel it quite negatively....
great advice Loren :)
Great points RG you're right, one size dosent fit all. For me it was purely a health thing to start, but then as you so well described it, the layers started peeling back. It really took me by surprise, was very unexpected, which is why I now just...
Hi Nicole,
How old is your son? As far as diet, I would be giving him plenty of fruit, and plenty of simple salads, including lots of tomatoes and perhaps some celery as both are high in sodium.
But as I understand it, salt cravings are usually ...
Hi Loren. Thanks for that info. I often hear Naturopaths comment on how children with autism are often lacking in sodium and reccomend increasing their salt intake. I have a son on the autism spectrum and he craves salt. He drinks green smoothies ...
