Guest guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Hi Carla, I saw you are from Berkeley. I am in the area bay also. I live on the Pennisula and work in the city. Have you been to Alive in SF? I am going there today. It is a really fantastic raw food restaurant. I have been following a different healing diet for a long time and am now trying to incorporate more raw foods into my diet. I have struggled with acne for a long time also and it is the one health problem that won't go away so I understand what you are going through. I started going to colon hydrotherapy a few weeks ago and it is really helping. Susanne rawfood , " Carla Rose " <rose.carla wrote: > > HI Rose, > > Welcome to the group.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Hi Susanne, I love Alive! I've only been to the restaurant once, but they have a booth at the Ferry Building during the Tuesday's farmers market. Since I work in the Financial District, I get over there often. On this side, we have Cafe Gratitude (also two in San Francisco and one in Marin) and Cafe Muse. I'm about 5-8 minutes away from Cafe Gratitude so its a weakness of mine! Thank for the tip! I know my acne wont go away overnight, but I would like to have clear skin for the first time in my life since childhood.
