• Spiritedmama, I’m no doctor and if you are truly worried than you should see one. That said you should trust your body and your instincts. You said your midwife and friend haven’t had a raw mama before so you may be blazing new territory for them. D…

• Mon46, I too, suffered from acid reflux. When I started eating raw, it went away but within a few weeks of my making the more complicated recipes with nuts it reared its ugly head. Currently I am juicefeasting (day 25) and the sponsor for the juicef…

• Valeria, if you are pooping twice a day that might be your perfect number. As long as you are eating 100% raw you may be experiencing detox and there is no need to add a binder. Your body is a well oiled machine and as long as you give it the right …

• Hey Deborahann, 27 days is pretty terrific! I am working on day 3. In the past I wasn’t able to reach my goal either but somehow this time I think I’m gonna make it. Even the detox headache went away after this morning. Overall, I feel pretty good a…

• Evildarkvirus, thanks for the invite to join the green smoothie feast group. I will be using some of the ingredient combos that you all offer, I’ll just be juicing instead of smoothie-ing. I’m studying for a final on Monday so my start date may chan…

• I’m not sure how long they last but I bought two about two weeks ago and used only one right away. Yesterday when I tried to open the the other one it had mold on the outside. Bummer! I got them at Whole Foods and they had just come in. I wish I had…

• Hey Carrie, I am juicefeasting, it means you drink at least 4qts/1gal of juice per day. It requires 1 head of celery and 2lbs of greens juiced and then whatever other things you want fruit or veggies. I’m part of the Global juice feast that began on…

• Cool! I’m glad that things are looking up for you both. I had a rough day of intense cravings yesterday and I almost gave in. I came up with a juice with lots of flavors in it and drank it from a bowl with a spoon. That really helped. So, on day 8 I…

• I’m not sure if chamomile is OK on the cleanse or not since I am juicing, but mint before bed will be too stimulating. I don’t think it will hurt since it is a soothing herb. The chills and the headache are more than likely detox symptoms. You could…

• Sgmom, suspecting this might be an allergic reaction to something you consumed during the cleanse sounds like a real possibility. Is there a naturopath doctor or healer where you live that you could visit? Your body’s reactions seem severe. I’m not …

• This is Day 6 for me and I might be over the first hump! I feel good today, energetic, no headache. This morning I had some MC lemonade since it is allowed during the juicefeast and having something warm was great. I hadn’t planned on weighing in be…

• I’d like to join you all although, I’m juicefeasting but haven’t had any interest in my previous posts to join me. Kathrynintheraw offered her support on the other thread and I’m wondering which thread to stay with since kathrynintheraw said she had…

• So the other day while I was reading this thread I was eating a banana. I rubbed the inside of the peel on a small skin tag-like growth that I have had for years. Doctors have told me it is nothing and to just watch it. I applied the banana peel aga…

• Mopoke, I’ve also noticed a huge dip in my energy levels and started taking sublingual B12 about once a week. I’ve not seen a change. Maybe I should take it more often, I’m just not sure its doing me any good or is even the problem. I miss the initi…

• Hey Deborhann and Kminty, it sounds like today is better for us all! I’m still waking up with a little headache but it quickly leaves once I’ve done the enema (sorry if its TMI). I tried some cocconut oil yesterday and thanks Shgadwa, I got some bee…
