I agree with you, Emma... and I am so happy for those of you who found raw to work to make your skin beautiful. I, too, tried forever to just live through the "detox" stage ..always hoping that things would improve.. they did not.. only when I eli...
actually I try very hard to do more raw greens.. for instance, I chop up collards like a salad and add pine nuts and red pepper and lemon juice.. maybe a touch of olive oil... sometimes I saute all kinds of fresh greens for just a minute in olive ...
Rachael, my daughter, is back in the states, or I'm sure she and her friends would attend... my thought it to go by Bob's Juice Bar and put up a flyer... you will definitely get some people who are interested!
Kelp noodles, raw nut cheese and broccoli casserole. Make sure you really dry the kelp noodles and then add your cheese with different fresh herbs, then mix it broccoli. Blessings friend.
I'm pretty dedicated to whatever I decide to do each day...that changes daily...
I'm all about taking care of everyone and everything about me...
Lately, I've been making a lot of changes in my life..it feels weird but liberating..

Dear Sheri ... of course ... also ... you are bulding ' MUD ' ( KAPHA_Mucus ) inside of your body ... and also a Methabolismus unbalance ... you might problably not really digest Sweet Potatoes ... and to hot soups ...
Check an Ayurveda Doctor ... check your Methabolismus also , in a normal MedDoc ...
And also : take something to drain water out of you body ... there are capsules in Health Shops which help to dehidratation ... you might be accumulating water ... in your tissues , as well ...
Hi , sheri , I ' m glad you are taking care of you and aware of Ayurveda .
OK , cooked . But NOT the Sweet ones - Vegetables - like Carrots for instance ( the GLYX Indey is very high , not so high in RAW ) , Zuchini , Sweet Potatoes , and some others . Check on your Ayrv books . On KAPHA increasing .
Well , meat is your choice . But do it cooked in water ... without fat .
...
To the Nerves ( to go into SATTVA state as I can and to ground ) I eat Rice or Potaoes , which drains , take_absorb the excess ' water ' in the gut ) or Barley . Barley is full of LIGHT !
Some Oils ( unsaturated too ... ) . They help ... Olive Oil is great !
But I rarelly cook ... even like this . Far + then 5 months now ... I do not cook this stuff . When I mean ' cook ' , I mean steam .
BUT as I have an unstable income - the Health Insurance is paying now my Salary - and there are some breaks ... so I have to go to Spots where I can pay later on , when my money comes . And then ... ha ... I have to eat what they offer in the VEG menu ... uau ... ugh ... Noodles w cheese ... at least they put Onions and Herbs . But I drink immediatly afterwards Ginger Tea . But even like this I get swollen . My Soul becomes a chewing gum .
And also , I have the problem of these awful medications I have taken ... which increase ' water ' in all the seven tissues ... I am still over weighted ... 8 Kilos + than normal . My normal weight is 50 k , I am 1,69 m ( I don ' t remember the Anglo-Saxon measures ) . But still ... I am a bit under the known BMI ... but OK not to myself . I like to see my bones . Also in my face .
Hi , Sheri , all these ' puffs ' , also under the eyes , are typical of
K A P H A INCREASING_AUGMENTATION ( Ayurveda : Kapha = Earth + Water = Mood = Mucus ) .
Sweet Fruits are full of ' sugar ' and other stuff . Some people cannot absorb_digest them OK , and as consequense , it becomes EXCESS of MOOD_MUCUS and all its results inside of the body_metabolismus .
You might have ' tears ' also in your eyes ... no ?
Try not to eat these fruits . Go to apples , for instance . Berries ( ... and Berries are one of the most fantastic weapons against cancer ... ) .
And eat Red Onios , Garlic , Ginger , etc . Dehidratation Herbs ( ... as tee and also on your salads ... ) .
And of course RAW vegetables ... avoiding the sweet ones like Redbeet , Zuchini , Carrots ( specially cooked ) .
And check ' NEOLITES ' . Have a look on the ' Niki Infinite ' Page here at GI2MR . Neolites penetrates in all the tissues .
You will se the results ...
And drink a lot of mineral water , avoiding those which have to much Natrium .
And Green Tea and OOLONG Tee .
Well , here are some tips .
Ha , also , Green Smoothies_Juices ... with Lemon_Limette Juice ... inside of .
A wonderful one :
Green Apples , Lemon , a bit of Ginger . It cleans and purify ...
If you need some + tips I can check .
Hey , just a matter of patience ... and discipline ... persistance ...

PLA- have you had your ferritin (iron-storing protein) levels checked? You can have normal iron but low ferritin, and thus still have anemia symptoms. Or you can have leaky bool vessels due to spleen qi deficiency. Look at your tongue 1st thing in...
Thats interesting but would the body react differently to fruit sugars as opposed to all the other sugars? I didn't have these spots when I spent most of my time partying and living on junkfood.....
