Reply to Angela and everybody...sleep question

[Guest guest]

Hi Angela and everybody...I have been about 75% raw for about 2 months and

then this last weekend I made the leap to 100%. After only 3 day I have

stopped having disturbing dreams, upon awaking feel MUCH more refreshed,

feel calmer in general. I addition to eating 100% raw, the list owner,

Orionsdad, suggested that I get more sleep (I was not getting an adequate

amount to regenerate in relation to the stressload I carry), aerobic

exercise, walking and also he recommended that I exfoliate nightly in the

shower to get rid of the toxins in my system, which appeared to be

accumulating in the form of a " rash " on my skin. A large area of that on my

chest has come off already. I would love to hear what you are doing,

Angela, as another new raw fooder, and what you are experiencing. I should

note too, that the only minor negative has been a very small amount of

soreness in my hip joints. I think its just the toxins releasing. Also, I

had been drinking water too, and I was peeing so much and so often (every 20

minutes! LOL) that I asked Orionsdad about it, and he said, you know, drink

water when you're actually thirsty, as most of your water is in your food,

and it's distilled water too, which is good. He explained the SAD is low in

water because when you cook food it loses most of it's water. He also said

that drinking so much water adds stress to my kidneys. So I had a big aha

moment there. OK so that is my journey so far. There are more details but

you've all heard enough! =0) -Barbara

Thanks so much for sharing some of your journey. I love reading about other

people's raw experience,and how they feel. Its all I want to talk about lately.

or read about. I'm excessive in all things!

The exfoliating sounds interesting, and something I am thinking about doing.

That is so wonderful that already you feel so much more refreshed~!

I forgot to say that I am thinking about setting up a livejournal specifically

for raw blogging. If I do I will certainly give out the url, and would love to

read more about other peoples experience too. Is this something you think you

might like to do as well?

ps I abhor water, but am working on it. That takes the pressure off !

Barbara,

 

Thank you for your story. It is very encouraging, i am a vegetarian for life,

but trying to be raw for four weeks now. I have cheated a few times, because my

wife cooks everyday and entices me to eat her food. it is a challenge.

 

it is good to hear stories like yours.

 

ThanX

Peace.

It is nice that this site is getting so many posts. It gives me

something positive to do instead of non-raw eating. What a great

support group!
