Day 89 some thoughts on the juice feast

[dealivinglotusflower]

Hi all,
day 89 the end is near. I have gotta say that I now think that 92 days is too long to just live on juices. The last couple of months or so I have been struggling with severe nausea in the morning. I think the parasite cleanse and the coconut oil has something to do with it. I can't prove it but I think that somehow the colonies of candida in my body flare up and dump out in my blood stream right after I eat the tablespoon of coconut oil and take my parasite cleanse capsules.

I wonder if it has to be this tough, I feel sick and nauseous a lot. I realize its becuase my body is improving but I just wonder.

I saw a great David Wolf video once, can't remember which but he said something to the effect that if it doesn't feel good don't do it.

I will stay raw, maybe juice feast one day per week and eat a mainly liquidarian diet plus salads and fruit.
I read a wonderful letter that David Rainoshek sent to my friend Rawbin and he spoke of a diet which he referred to as "The four means to greens"

1. Green shakes or smoothies
2. Green vegetable juice
3. Green salads
4. Green soups

This diet as my primary diet supplemented with fruit, seeds and nuts and the occasional dehydrated delicacy or gourmet meal sounds like the ticket.

The juice feast was fun the first between day 40 and 60 the first 30 days were marred by serious detox, constant diahrrea, chills, fever and queasiness. The last 30 days are tough again due to serious cleansing, the parasite cleanser is kicking my butt. In the end I know that I will benefit from all of this, my skin looks amazing, I am down 30 lbs, my energy level is through the roof but I am not sure I can handle the discomfort like this again.

I think, again based on David Rainosheks comments in the letter to my friend Rawbin, I will do a 40 or 50 day juice feast every spring and fall and live the 4 means to greens life style.

I also have had some intense emotional detox, again I realize its best to let all of this go, but with me living here so far away from home, in a non supportive environment its been a challenge.

The internet, this website, welikeitraw.com, giveittomeraw.com, 123raw.ning.com and my circle of raw living friends on twitter have been such a life saver The friends in these places have helped me, supported me, made me laugh, made me feel not alone....its been great and still is geat. The people in these are a shimmering web of support and I love each one of them.

So thank you Penni, Linda, Robin, Blaqberry, Beppa, Tuliza, Mark, Joanne, Wendi, Julie Ingrid, Patricia, Philip, Dhrumil, Anthony, Hanlie.
Everyone of you through your blogs, articles, notes, emails and posts has touched my heart and kept me strong while I give my body the cleanse it so needs and deserves
