I just wanted you guys to know how i was doing..I quit drinking reverse osmosis water a week ago and feeling a TON better.. I am no longer feeling like so much of a zombie... I truly didn’t know what was wrong with me... i thought i was doing the right thing.. I hope someone learns from this and doesn’t take them 3 yrs to figure it out. I have a ways to go to completely feeling normal again.   [End]

Drinking reverse osmosis water made me a very sick person.. I noticed i went from the energy of a 16 yr old to the energy of an 87 yr old in just 2 months .. took me 3 yrs to figure out it was the water.. since i quit drinking it my health has returned slowly but surely and no longer feel like a zombie.   [End]

I haven’t been on here in quite awhile. Probably 3 yrs. Due to my declining health. I bought a house 3 yrs ago.. And a salesman came about a whole house water filtration system.. when I moved here I was FULL of life. I had more energy than a 16 yr old, I was 34 at the time. did all the cleanses and drank my superfood daily from dr schulze...So I had this put into my house and I was sold on not buying spring water anymore at the store... And under the sink they put one of those reverse osmosis water filtration systems in .. and I started drinking it all the time instead of bottled water.. I ...

Are you a sugar addict? I have found that most acne sufferers are terribly addicted to sugar. One of the things I have found that helps is to really control the amount of processed sugar I eat. You don’t notice a difference for at least 2 weeks. When you raise your blood sugar levels and your body is kicking out the insulin it also calls alot of other hormones into play. Creating the sticky substance that clogs your pores and gives you the ACNE! .I am not saying this is a cure-all but it sure does limit the severity and the amount. Also make sure you are getting enough Omega 3’s Cleanse ...

I might get flack for what I say...LOL...I think you are partly correct. BUT not entirely. The BIGGEST problem is the abandonment of the ENTIRE FAMILY!  I am a white american mid thirties woman. And I don’t understand it. I don’t understand why ..the american people for instance, want to leave home at a young age or have this idea instilled in their heads and struggle alone for the rest of their lives.

Hey MH,   I am practicing raw foodism currently. And I was reading last nite. That raw foodist females usually cease their menstruation period. In fact for a woman to have a period is actually not normal.  But considering the state of everyone’s diets having a menstrual period has become NORMAL now. What are your thoughts. It was said in the earlier days beginning of 20th century it was very common women didn’t have periods every month ..and it is actually a hemorrhage.   [End]

Well? I don’t know what to say other than. Why do people get cured of incurable diseases, why do they get rid of their pain in the a** problems such as acne, cellulite, etc etc etc? if there should be cooked food and balance? Hmm? Seems to me it is the correct way ..FOR ADULTS! Children are growing and they do NOT do well on raw vegan food alone. They need extra supplements for their growing bodies and would do good to have some meat and what not here and there.   [End]

Much like you I was in quite shock and horror that you can only find 64 bit vista computers now. You are lucky. I had to buy a vista 64bit computer and downgrade to 32 bit to get all my applications and software to work. But it is possible. I found myself reformatting my entire computer 2 hours after I bought it. OI VEI. I was so upset. Technology is supposed to simplify life, Not complicate it. But it seems the other way around. I can’t keep up and find myself asking my kids how i even use my own cell phone..LOL   [End]

Hey all! I was just thinking. Has anyone tried digestive enzymes to help cure the acne? I am wondering about this. Because I have been considering incorporating more of the raw food lifestyle into my diet. After my fast. And their skin just glows ..and alot of them had skin issues. Anyways, they eat live food with live enzymes nothing cooked. So do you think this could be a missing link? I have NEVER tried digestive enzymes ever in my pursuit of clear skin. I was able to get rid of it mostly but from time to time i get pimples and clogged up pores still ..uggh.   [End]

So are you just doing a water fast? I tried that one day thought i would die. To busy for that. Seems to be for people who don’t have much to do. If I didn’t drink Dr Schulze’s Superfood everyday I would be not well and I wouldn’t even be able to make it through. It’s a whole food supplement powder I mix with OJ.

Hey thanks for jumping down my throat there. In the beginning i had celery, sugar free jello and plain salad leaves to help with the hunger. But as days go by I no longer needed these things and havent had any of that for a LONG time probably 15 days ago.

I would highly recommend it to fasters who just can’t stick with it. Also there is very lil digestion going on with these 3 food items. So i dont call this a big deal) I mean sugar fre ...

if you are looking for something that is not going to disrupt your day much. WHY would you water fast? One day into it and you’ll be dizzy and mind fog etc etc.  It’s a hard one to do. Do the juice. Even if it’s bottled juice. Dilute with water. a lil juice lots of water. I am not a believer in fasting a few days and then eating. I did that all last year and stayed the same. You know why? Because I was never reaching the point of burning fat  all i was doing was losing water weight. Then I would go eat and of course gain it all back. If you have weight to lose? I recommend ...

I have weighed myself more than 10 times in a day. you always weigh the least in the morning when you wakeup after you use the bathroom.  The weight fluctuates all day long due to being hydrated. You could gain as much as 2 pounds or so from water. So just remember that.  So naturally I always go with the smallest weight hehe. When you are fasting you can lose more than 1 pound a day.
