Hi!

Thanks for the full reply. I'll let you know how I go. What a pity about the book situation. My husband is thinking of wiping clean our computerbecase we have a virus, How do you get the e-book back?
When I talk about a raw diet, people very frequently say words to the effect, "I can't digest it......my digestion is not strong enough... "
Untill a few months ago I wasn't sure how I would go.  I started to eat 100% raw three and a half months ago (11th July, '04) The raw food wasn't bad to digest, except the ones with high fat content, ie., avocado, olives and olive oil.
I'm asuming olives are raw as we cured some once and they were not cooked.
I was suffering terribly from heartburn for the last few years because I have Scleroderma(a rare rheumatic condition related to rheumatoid arthritis). It had been getting worse and every night I was going to bed in great pain and discomfort.
At first on the 100% raw diet it didn't seem to be improoving. Then it was steadily getting better! Yesterday it suddenly dawned on me that I hadn't had heartburn for over a week!!!!!!!! :D
I don't even watch how much oily food I eat.
I bought some coconut oil from our local organic shop. YUM! I love it as food and skin cream! I saw your testimonial Sheryl! :D

Thanks for everything!
