Welcome Shortus!

[Guest guest]

e are pleased to have you join us.<br><br>Glad

to hear that you have experienced what many others

do on the raw food diet -- softer skin, full of

energy and more relaxed. I'll ditto all that and

more.<br><br>Cooked food may be addictive but I think that it is more

pschological then physical. It just doesn't " seem " right to

not eat cooked food at every meal, just like it

doesn't " seem " right to not eat meat at every meal like

so many do. But you've seen the changes in you body

which tell you differently. It is right and your body

is thanking you for the change. You are finally

giving to your body what it really wants --

unadulterated foods in their natural state full of vitimins,

minerals and live enzymes. Expect your body to feel better

as you continue on this new diet.<br><br>I think the

" withdrawal " symptoms you had was your body throwing off the

toxins it had accumulated over many years. It expells

these toxins through your breath, urine, bowels and

skin. The toxins are released from your liver,

intestines and fat. Getting a headache is very common. It

makes you feel sick and people often are confused and

think it is the raw food that is making them feel sick

so they go back to the cooked food. Then they tell

people how sick they felt on raw food and discourage

others from trying it. All one has to do is go through

this detox period -- read books on the subject, read

newsletters or talk to others for support. I know it is a

good idea to drink lots of pure water when detoxing.

<br><br>It IS TRUELY AMAZING that such a simple diet can

make such a big difference in one's health, isn't it?

In the past I was loading up on all kinds of

supplements thinking I was missing or not getting the right

one. It was a quick way to the poor house. Now I don't

take any supplements at all! All the money I spent on

supplements go into buying the freshest, organic raw fruits

and vegetables that I can find. WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT

HAS MADE. <br><br>Shortus: Don't forget to get some

REGULAR EXERCISE! Your body wants that too and you will

take your body to the next level of good

health.<br><br>-OrionsDad
