Camillep, What is your diet like? I had terrible acne until I changed my diet. Now my skin is perfect! Literally. Small pores, I NEVER break out at all anymore. I eat a raw diet based on fruits and nuts. Grains, dairy products and cooked meat are the worst offenders. This website tells what causes acne. It goes along with MH too, except for the egg yolks (high in lecithin) and fish. It’s basically a raw food diet with some animal foods. There is also a vegan version if you don’t believe in eating animal foods. It is freeacnebook.com Hope this helps!   [End]

Are you eating fats? Sounds like to me you arent eating enough or not enough fats. Fats stabilize the blood sugar. When I don’t eat enough fats, I get the same reaction.

A spike in blood sugar will only occur if you consume too much sugars at once than what the body needs. The oil just makes the energy last longer.

Once he got it cleared, he found one day after cheating a little with some grains, that it was flairing up again.

Hey PBuddy, Large breast run in my family on my mothers side and not on my fathers side. I think it’s genetic because of that. I’m just wondering if it was because of thier past diet as well? I do weigh 115 now and I am the same cup size, but I had the same size at 100 lbs. When I loose weight, they stay the same. I asked my obgyn (this was before I dis-owned doctors) about it and she said that I had a lot of breast tissue, not a lot of fat. She was telling me how lucky I was! I said if you had them, you would feel differently. Also my chest muscles are very devoloped from being ...

I loooovvvee Brazils! A little tid bit~ Brazil nuts Fresh Brazil nuts are supposed to be ivory white; if they’ve turned yellow - don’t eat them. If you’re not sure, take a little bite, and focus on the after-taste; you will definitely taste it if the nut is not good anymore. You never feel like eating too many raw nuts at a time because they do not contain appetite-enhancing beta-carbolines and because they’re so concentrated; fresh nuts hold (on the average) only 5% water. Fruits usually contain 80 to 90% water. Consuming Brazil nuts protects the Brazilian, Bolivian, and Pe ...

If you are thinking of FDA recommended calcium requirements, you need not worry. Those numbers are inflated and for people who eat an acid cooked diet. On a frutairian diet, your body is in an alkaline state and will get calcium from what ever foods you eat in the proportions that was intended in the first place. Human milk only has 32mg per 100g and a orange has 42mg per 100g. And that is for a growing baby. As adults, we only need to maintain our calcium in our bones.   [End]

I was raised on dairy, grains, yada yada and at the age of 13 I was a D cup at 100 pounds with low body fat. I have been 90% raw for almost two years, and I still have my D cup. I was very athletic, gymnastics, dance, track and cheerleading and never lost my breasts. They are very firm and are mostly glandular tissue and I am 37. What does that mean? That even though I am mostly raw, I guess I have a lot of detoxing to do!? I would love to go down a cup size or two!   [End]

Here ya go. Why we don’t need veggies, only fruits: From: freeacnebook.com Moreover, grains, beans, and most vegetables have to be cooked, steamed, or heated in some manner before consumption. The heating originates new substances - like mutagenic HCA and N-nitroso compounds and neurotransmitter-impairing beta-carbolines – while these beta-carbolines are also constipating agents. Why do grains, beans and most vegetables have to be cooked/heated before consumption? Because we cannot digest these properly when consumed raw; Fruit bearing trees multiply by the means of their frui ...

This will definately go away if you start a raw diet. All it is, is the body getting rid of waste that it desperately wants to get rid of and this is how it is doing it. Some people have the same thing in other forms, tumors, acne, etc. Like, MH says, it’s a form of constipation. Get your bowels moving, adapt to a raw fruit diet and the body will take care of it’s self. Personally, I think you could see results in a month or so. If you do eat anything cooked, go for the lowest protein items as possible. That is what causes congestion in the body, cooked proteins. NO meat, processed ...

How is a clay bath good for the skin? It seems like it would dry it out. When I use a clay mask on my face, that is what happens. Does is provide the body with minerals? That seems the most logical. I want to do one, but I wanted to find out as much as possible before trying it.   [End]

Hey Zach, Well, I have to say my intent is to stay as raw as possible, but I have my weak moments when I feel like I am not being social and eat cooked when everyone tells me to ”just have a little”!! I know exactly what you mean about cooked stealing your vitality. Even though I feel horrible when I eat cooked, the memory quickly fades. Maybe some day I will have more control. Now if I lived on a desert island...lol Now, I’m physically damaged from a life time of cooked and dieting supplements,(trying to get skinny, smart me!) pretty much who isn’t dehydrated and damaged! I ha ...

Being pretty close to a full frutarian for over two years now, I think that you should eat when you feel like you should eat. If you are hungry, eat! As long as it is fruit, it can do no harm. Fruit doesn’t clog or slow down our bodies. Also the more pure your diet is, the less you want to eat anyway. I’ve noticed that when I eat cooked, I am more hungry because it’s not compatable with our bodies. Addictive chemicals are created when you cook food making it addicitve and it drains our bodies of energy and nutrients making us want to eat more.   [End]

IMHO, She needs fats for brain development and nerve function. This is very dangerous! You need fats to digest protein well. Here is some info: Sugars and fats are (besides alcohol) the only sources of energy in your blood. (redundant protein is converted into sugars and fats) You need fat to stabilize the need for glucose; Sugars supply you with ’fast’ energy, but this source is exhausted pretty fast too. Fats keep you going all day, and while you’re asleep. When a meal mainly consists of protein** or carbs, the blood glucose level increases much more than when also much fat i ...

Blackheads are caused by eating the wrong foods. It’s a sign of constipation and the waste is coming out of your pores. Constipating foods are grains, dairy and cooked meat. I had skin problems, blackheads, cysts etc., but once I cut out all the junk and mostly eat fruits they are gone.   [End]

I just went to my chiropractor. She said it wasn’t shingles. She adjusted me and I am supposed to go back tomorrow. I have had two more zaps since I’ve left her office. We will see. I have had no other symptoms except my last two toes feel kinda numb when the pain is there.   [End]

I am having a really weird pain on the top of my foot a couple of inches from my ankle. Sometimes it’s an hour sometimes it’s a few minutes before it strikes. It started out really small and it’s getting worse. It’s a burning, stinging pain. It feels like someone is shocking me with a electric hot iron. The pain is unbearable sometimes. I’ve had it since Friday. Any ideas what it might be? I just started jogging a couple of miles a day maybe three times a week. I don’t know if it’s related to this or not. I am on a frutarian diet and rarely eat anything cooked. I’ll be sitting he ...

I eat raw yolks. They are a great source of B vits and minerals. It’s the white you don’t want to eat. It is not digestable. I wouldn’t consider a yolk cleansing. It’s more nourishing.   [End]

Thanks MH. I think it’s something else, because I eat a lot of peppers and I don’t get cramping. I love spicy foods! They never bother my stomach. In fact NOTHING ever bothers me. I have one of those stomachs of steel! It’s not my stomach that is cramping, it’s my lower bowel. I’ve taken only two today four hours apart and I just had diarreah two hours after my last dose. Maybe my body hit a cleaning point? The first week I took eight in one day and only went to the bathroom once the next day. I was taking a lot more then than I am now with less results. It’s like the last few d ...

I’m 36, 5’2 115 pds, female and I am taking them to get my system cleaned out. I eat almost 100% raw with the exception of a cooked meal, meatless of course, once or twice a week and it’s not horrible foods, mainly cooked vegetables. I eat nothing but fruits and nuts and supplement with olive oil and coconut oil. I was only going to the restroom once a day and sometimes only every other day. I have rosacea and a few extra vanity pounds and cellulite obviously from a clogged up system. I haven’t been getting the results from raw that I wanted so I thought I would kick it up a notch.

About the de-wormer, why don’t you start out with MH’s? It’s the best and it tastes good too! As for your son’s distended stomach, what is his diet like? My daughter is the same way and her stomach is flat as long as she doesn’t consume dairy or wheat products. Diet is number one for health problems and if your family is eating the standard american diet, that explains a lot. As for your friend, I’m not sure what his dieitary habits are, but if he is consuming a lot of unatural beverages, coffee, soad, beer ect, he is throwing his mineral balance off. That is what kidney stones a ...

I’m taking 4 capsules of the LBB a day and I am having moderate cramping and very loose stools, but not quite diarreah. I’ve been taking two in the morning and two around five o’clock. Should I cut back? I am going five or six times a day with just four! I know you said this was good, but what about the cramping and super loose stools? My lunch was out of me in eight hours yesterday. Is that bad? Or will my body adjust? I’ve been taking lbb for a little over a week daily.   [End]

Thanks everyone. Today I got up and it is putting off a tremendous amount of heat and it is still bright red. It’s on my shoulders and chest. I’m a 36 yo female and I already have a small amount of sun damage on my shoulders and chest and I am upset b.c. I don’t need more! I hope that since I am raw the damage will be minimal. So far I applied more aloe, a paper towel soaked in tea, and a aloe based liquid spray on moisturizer with allitonin and other goodies in it. I even went out into the yard and mixed up some mud and put that on until it dried and rinsed it off. I’ve also been e ...
