I'm on my second attempt at RAW eating. A year ago I healed myself of severe psoriasis with the help of a naturapath, colon hydrotherapy and a raw food diet. My skin cleared and I felt great but got complacent and now a year on am back to square one but my skin is even worse than before. So raw food for me is a definate must!!!!

That's great you are doing the colonic hydrotherapy training. So important :)
Hey are you free Monday 27th 7pm til 9pm, I'm doing an extra long yoga class for some of my students in Lymington. We will have tea and raw cake after the class too. Oh maybe you couldn't have the cake as it has dried fruit in it. Anyway you are welcome to come along and join us.
Much love and light

Hi Jackie,
Thanks for making contact with me. It's good to know other raw food enthusiasts in the same area.
SlimRaw is the name of my company. I offer personal coaching for anyone who wants to get more raw food into their diet. I am so very keen to offer help to anyone struggling with their raw food journey. Support is so important if you re to be successful.
My background is basically that I have experienced greatly increased control over my eating patterns and lost weight through raw food after many years of yo-yoing with conventional cooked food diets. For me it started out as a weight loss diet, and then I discovered the multitude of other benefits of a raw food diet. My journey hasn't always been easy, and I am aware of the struggles that many of us have getting fully into the raw food thing.
Coaching is a way of helping you through those issues and struggles with structured advice and practical solutions. The coaching is personal to you, your life and where you are right now. It addresses your personal needs, which generic information, while often useful, cannot always be applied to yourself personally.
Have you seen my website (www.slimraw.co.uk)? It will tell you a bit more about me and SlimRaw. I will be getting a new and improved website soon.
If you have any specific questions about SlimRaw then please let me know. I wasn't sure whether you were enquiring as a potential client, or if you just wanted to make contact with me as a friend. Either way is good with me.
Warm wishes,
Sally.
Hi Jackie, thanks for your message. I have indeed noticed changes. Firstly although I wasn't 100% raw my thousands of black heads and enlarged pores on nose and forehead started to go back to normal. Then I went off to a camp with a bunch of children and other volunteers and we were fed on the regular diet white bread, plenty of baked beans, lots of sweets, etc. just a week and the problem came back, but after a couple of weeks on 100% (except some brown rice) and my skin is pretty good.
Although for old cysts it will take some time, I am quite happy with the results so far.
Hi Jackie. I don't have to tell you how stubborn P can be as a fellow sufferer.
I'm getting some real results from raw now and find coconut oil both orally and as a cream really helps. I'm quietly confident the P will slowly clear up if I keep doing what I'm doing. I'v long suspected there's a big connection to the gut with psoriasis as if digestion doesn't seem good P tends to be worse.
Hi Jackie - thanks for your message - good for you that you are giving this another go. I have been raw for about 3 1/2 months now and cannot believe the difference in me - I really wish I had discovered this sooner - perhaps I just wasn't ready? The introduction to raw was through a work colleague who handed me a 'Get Fresh' mag on the basis that she thought I might find it interesting. She is a vegetarian and I never understood why she never seemed in great health as I thought she was much healthier than me due to the no meat thing but now I understand! Anyway, she was right that I would be interested - I read a few of the articles and then launched myself into several raw food books and was just overwhelmed by how much sense it made and how the concept really seemed to resound with me. So, shortly after reading the books (Victoria Boutenko's '12 steps to Raw Food' - which shocked me to my core and Natalia Rose' 'Raw Food Life Force Energy' which made me realise that any step towards raw is beneficial) I decided to go for it and have been predominately 85-95% raw ever since. How are you getting on - what percentage would you say you are? Amanda

It's so great to have you here, Loren. And we are fortunate to receive the benefits of your years of experience with fasting. All your posts are extremely helpful to me and I am tremendously appreciative of your willingness to participate here so ...
YUM! That looks sooooo good, I love sushi so much but haven't had it years, since I don't get the conventional stuff anymore ( I call them mercury rolls) and I'm too lazy to make something like this.....will you come over and make it for me, pleee...
There is a great fruit wholesaler in town, specializing in Local, organic fruit actually.
All I need is a few people, a car and one willing person to go up there with me at some unholy hour (they close at 9am) once a week and it's beautiful fruit ...
