• I have similar pain….yoga & MSM help. I’m hoping that eventually the tissues will be so “juicy” that it will go away. TMJ is a stress-related/jaw-clenching issue. I do this unconsciously….hard to break the habit.

• In David Wolfe’s book he mixes cherimoya & avocado to make a pudding. YUM!

• I don’t like sundried olives either…too salty! Sunfood’s Power Olives are awesome!

• Mine does this too, I’ve come to think of it as a sign of healing. I definitely feel it is positive.

• Socal- I really have to put in my two cents in defense of David Wolfe. Have you ever listened to one of his lectures or are you just going off the fact that he has been able to profit off raw food? He is one of the most inspiring individuals I have …

• I should add my hair loss saga as well since I know how disturbing this can be! I didn’t see anyone ask about birth control pills…Going off BCPs is just like the post-pregnancy stage when women lose all the thick hair from their pregnancy. It takes …

• I did it for 7 days a few years ago… I was great and surprisingly easy. Great for jump-starting a raw diet (as juleskess says) and weightloss. For me, at this point, I would prefer a green juice/lemon/pepper cleanse since the taste of MC starts to g…

• I am experiencing this type of rash now too and have run across others with it too….can’t help but wonder if this is yet another type of detox that will eventually resolve itself? I will be checking my toothpaste, though, just to be sure and using f…

• The payoffs are perfect health, clear mind, flawless skin, bright eyes….longevity! You can certainly slow detox without resorting to cooked food…just eat more fats. Or speed it’s way out….enemas, colonics. LOL, you CAN blame everything on it! I actu…

• I really love them! I feel that they are great for the initial cleansing phase, while you are transitioning away from cooked food. I have also done them while fasting/cleansing and got rid of a lot of parasites that way. At some point, however, you …

  in What do you think about colonics? What have they done for you? Comment by kauaigirl
• YES! This was my initial thought when reading this post. Esp. since you have been taking MSM. It detoxes out through the skin esp. in weird places like the legs. I remember have hard, cyst-like pimples on my thighs while taking MSM. I never had any …

• I can get away with about 5 total tampons now…usually only if I have to go to work. Only 2-3 days with enough to need something. Also as soon as I went off the evil;) pill, I immediately adjusted to the moon cycle. It makes me SO happy to be in tune…

• I am a massage therapist so I work 9-2 or 2-7 which gives me time to prep/put things in dehydrator. I’m getting better at making up recipes with things I have on hand, too. As long as I have at least a squash, some greens, brocolli or an avocado I c…

• Hi No-pooers! Wow, almost 10,000 views. Seems like the #1 topic here on Gone Raw! I’ve still been using just the tiniest bit of Dr. Bronner’s in the crown area, along with the BEST TIP EVER from Queenfluff, which is using sea salt/water as a hairspr…

• Hi No ‘Pooers! I am still experimenting but I may have cheated a bit b/c I have been using some Dr. Bronners just on the oily parts. To me, it seems to be cutting some oil but not really stripping it completely like shampoo. It feels like it is mayb…

• I am having some issues with perioral dermatitis right now and I remember seeing on one of the no ‘poo forums that another girl was experiencing it and attributing it to the oils on the pillowcase at night. Queenfluff or anyone else….does this seem …

• My no ‘poo came in handy while camping, too. I felt so raw, like a goddess with my hair all crazy and full. It FELT pretty gross though, and one morning as I was walking to the waterfall/shower and pondering my hair and why I was doing this…a lady p…

• Queenfluff (or anyone else)...what is your opinion on Dr. Bronner’s All-in-one Magic Soap? The ingredients seem like mostly oils: Ingredients: Water, Saponified Organic Coconut & Olive oils (w/ retained Glycerin), Organic Hemp Oil, Organic Jojob…

• I am so with you, queenfluff. Maybe it has to do with the moon cycle or something b/c I am having the exact same experience right now….dry and shedding. My roommate said her hair is shedding like crazy right now too. Weird. I tried the white vinegar…

• I’m still here! Day 57 for me, almost two months. Been using the BS a little bit but It seemed like it was making my hair shed again. Need to try the white vinegar rinse that you recommended, queenfluff. Happy to see that so many are experimenting a…

• Satnam- my boyfriend did the no’poo too (with short hair) and it is even easier b/c you don’t have to worry about untangling a mess. You’d be surprised at how it gets thick and shiny but doesn’t look oily. It will just look like you have some produc…

• 45 days- I cracked and tried the baking soda. My feeling is that it cuts down some but not all of the greasies. My hair feels soft everywhere except the crown area. I think I will use it for now only if I have a special event or feel really greasy.

• Yes, it is day 36 for me! I wouldn’t say it feels clean yet but it’s enough to not be able to tell. It’s the crown area that is still oily but it gives it so much volume that I like it. I can’t tell you how many “root-boosters” I have spent money on…

• Wow it is hard to take a photo of your own hair! I did my best! Saw DW at a Howard Wills Healing Event. They are friends. DW spoke for a bit about Raw Foods. I had no idea he would be there. Kundalalita- I wasn’t being sarcastic about my hair lookin…

• Welcome, kundalalita! Your theory kinda makes sense, let us know what happens. I am on day 30, and getting excited to be almost over the worst part…my hair is getting SHINIER than I’ve ever seen it! Oil is still working it’s way to the ends. My hair…

• I totally agree with you, queenfluff, about trying to get away with having to buy products, waste plastic, energy, etc. when your body can do it for you. That is why this appeals to me so much. I’d like to live much more simply, with less impact on …
