wow Rudolph, what you said was inspiring, and yes I think you are right....fear has a big part to do with it.

just have to take that step and fly I guess....

thankyou for your honesty......

so beautiful to know that there is a new soul been born into the world.

Lots of love to all of you

I really need to work out which is dandelion and which isn't lol. I think there are a couple that look similar and I get mixed up.

will have to check on the net.

I love tea too, and I really believe in herbs. That is something that I won't stop.

how much is a Sunbeam one? and does it do green smoothies and stuff like that too?

Thanks!
Beau

Thanks Jenni....

yes I am detoxing....have an ulcer and can't swallow properly!

I am inspired by all of you though...you look amazing!

thankyou for the inspiration!

Hi Travis...my name is Beau, I've been raw for a week so we are both newbies hey?

I am very interested in tha Raw Cafe in Byron. Could you tell me the name of it? I am thinking of going there for my birthday!

TIA

I am feeling a bit yuck at the moment. I have an ulcer in my mouth that is contributing to an earache which also makes it hard to eat and swallow. I had only juices and smoothies yesterday, but am needing to 'fill up' still, so finding it a bit hard to deal with.

I have a sneaking suspicion that maybe this is Great Spirits way of getting me to fast on only juices etc, but I am resisting as I don't feel ready yet. I just want to take my time and do this slowly and gently.

Maybe I should just listen to my intuition....I know it is good for me, but I am kinda freaked by the detox process, I really don't want to go through too full-on a detox...not yet anyway.

I dunno...but then I am also a person who jumps into things when I know they feel right....I am pretty much 80-90% raw right now and that started only a week ago.

I guess I'll just see how I feel.

you have GOT to be joking!

hell no!

am off to sign the petition and send it around.

seriously cannot believe the way some people think!!!

Ok....I like how simple it sounds...although for me, at the moment, it doesnt feel simple. Hopefully I will be as confident as you guys are soon!

Thankyou 

Hey Jenni....

am wondering if you can explain why the sore throat and headaches? I have had them since I started...what is your opinion on them?


Hope your feeling better today....

Love,

RC hope you are feeling better today....and thankyou for sharing your journey through all of this. It helps to hear other peoples experiences.

Love,

Thankyou Jungle, for that advice....I have felt that in my heart, that I just need to do what is right for me, but like you said it is so overwhelming, seeing all the foods that I thought were good for me, that are now shown to be not so? I don't want to eat the wrong thing either!!!

Oxygen 2 I really hear you on that. I had some cooked tofu on my salad last night and I am using sweet chilli and tahini and honey still on my salads (not all at once  ), and I feel fine about that at the moment. This is the reason I know that this is real for me, because I am not just going cold turkey on everything. I am pacing myself, and just letting myself absorb information, and learn, and integrate it slowly.

I just felt so overwhelmed yesterday and I have no-one around who will understand this, so a HUGE thankyou to you 

Rudolph I agree...this shall be my journal...sorry if I've used up too many posts....

Love,
Beau xoxoxo

yes all the great people of the world are trodden down. I love Micheal Jackson too, he is a beautiful soul.

and I know that none of you know me, I am new here and all that, but I am in this on my own and I know NOT ONE person who eats a raw! Not one!!!
So I am here to unwind my head, as it is spinning....

I have just looked at Nora Lenz's website and everything I have ever believed in has been squashed well and truly. I feel so spun out I don't know what to do with myself. I actually am feeling quite anxious.

What the hell am I supposed to do with myself now??? The understanding that we should eat as our monkey friends is freaking me the hell out!!! ARGHHHH To eat mainly fruit and one kind at a time? how bizarre!

I feel kind of excited too. Its new, but it smacks of some kind of honesty, and far out honesty, something so crazy that it just may be true! ARGHHHH

Omg what do I do now? What about my kids? What do I do with them??? How do I bring this to them? Oh God I wished I had raised them this way....

Did anyone else feel like this? What do you do about it? How can I go back to eating crap with this knowledge? I am tempted to let me tell ya! I would love to forget this. But I dont want to have illness and disease! I like the ignorance but not the illness.

Aw crap.....so what do I do now? Whats the next step? How am I going to explain this to friends and family?? They're gonna think I'm starving myself or something....I don't know if I can handle all this.

Help!

Here goes....

Who has a vitamix and how did you afford it? Can they be laybyed?
If you don't have a vitamix what do you use?

Who here does meals and who just eats plainly? I am interested in hearing both sides of that.

Why when I typed P.aul B.enhaim did the site put a star instead?

Um...ok a personal question....sorry to any who are easily offended    I have been raw for 5 days now and my poo's are soft, pleasantly so, but I am wondering if someone could tell me what usually happens in this area, how are they supposed to be? I do understand that everyone is individual, but just as a general rule.

Thankyou for any and all replies!
