Hi Carrie, didn’t recognize you cuz of the different pic ;-). I’ll send you an email. I’ve completed the 3 days. Day three I kind of pushed it by going out to lunch with my husband (I didn’t eat) and meeting a friend in town for a walk. I was really tired. Anyway, I’ve decided to end it here at 3-days since I’ve got to prepare boxes and work on an upcoming move. I need my energy and won’t be able to focus on the cleansing aspect. I’ll look into the Diva Detox Diet.

Thanks all for the supportive replies.

I, an athiest, find this post offensive. What’s the point of deliberately setting out to break down one’s faith system? Come on guys, really, ever heard of “live and let live?” This is exactly the type of behaviour I complain about in the Athiest string. People are entitled to believe whatever they want to, whether you like it or not.

That was really nice.:)

Thank you guys. I really appreciate it. hugs

Oh my god.. Blew me away how many christians responded to “Hello Christians”!! So crazy to me. It’s like a flock of sheep following an ancient book thats been changed through time! So sad to me.. & All the horrible things that have been supported in “Gods Name” & people still fearfully follow. Baffling.. Hope more people will become brave & explore more evloved ways of loving, that includes “all humanity”.:) Proud to say, “I’m Not a Christian!” It’s ok not to know all the answers to existance. No fear, just love. I’m just a person who loves & grows & changes.. gladfully… open to what the new day brings.:)

When I got my wisdom teeth out last year, I got some kind of antibiotic resistant infection. I refused to try another kind of antibiotic, I just stuck a clove of garlic down the hole. Within four hours, the swelling was gone, and the pain relieved. Another two days (with salt water rinses) and the infection was gone all together. I think that garlic is one of the plant world’s many gifts of healing. Garlic may kill life, but I am glad! Some things shouldn’t be living in me.

Red sox? You from the boston area? I’m from the northshore.. (MA that is)

Do research on the digestable qualities of garlic. Anything our body can’t digest is a toxin. As far as the fact that garlic kills, someone already posted why it kills. In case you can’t put two and two together, as I mentioned, anti-biotic means anti life. If something causes “anti life” it therefore kills. There has been research done on garlic, you just have to dig a little deeper.

We are not suppose to consume irritants/night shades plants. You guys can consume your garlic, I will not.

I hope you feel better, Branwyn. I’ll send you some healing energy your way tonight. LOL. :)

Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed it!!!

also i love reading this thread…i watched all of dr. graham’s lecture to the organic athlete conference, up on you tube, and loved it. from watching a lot of his stuff and reading these threads i feel like i really want to try 811. 3 weeks ago i went raw…i haven’t cooked a single thing myself but on occasion will eat some cooked vegan food if it’s free and offered to me, hey can’t turn down a free lunch. but i feel like i rushed into raw and despite reading so much about it i still didn’t really know what i was doing. 811 makes so much sense to me and as a long distance runner and aspiring endurance athlete this all seems right to me! atleast to give it a good shot. i’ll be starting whenever my raw-non811 food runs out:)

even though i feel pretty educated on 811, does anyone have a copy of 811 they’d wanna sell to me? i don’t wanna pay the $30 on amazon or whatever!

ROMAINE question. why do i hear romaine lettuce said so much about 811? in this thread and in dr. graham and his wife’s youtube stuff. is there something special i don’t know about romaine? why not spinach and kale and iceberg and all the other greens or maybe i’ve just skipped over some posts that mention these other ones??

“I am sure you are all very intelligent people here. I mean to be Raw or even just thinking about it means you are pretty smart. So how come you fall for Christianity? I am sure none of you have read the bible. Cuz if you did you would be aware that it says that homosexuals should die and that women have no right to speak in church and that they should worship their husband just like they worship God and also supports slavery. And people might say “Well in the NEW bible it dosent say that” Oh and I suppose anyone could just come and change a book that was written thousands of years ago. C’mon people-COMMON SENSE. Oh and if any of you want the name of the passages I am speaking of let me know I will be more than glad to tell you.”

In answer to that question, I would ask, did you read the bible?

Anyhow, I have read it and am fully aware of what you are talking about.

Though God himself did not change, the law has been fulfilled when Jesus Christ died for us. Meaning that homosexuals do not need to die (physically) anymore. But rather, through Jesus Christ, we have a way of escape.

To escape the fierce, burning, wrath of God that falls on all those who do not repent.

Even so, come Lord Jesus.

I guess a good testimony is the best way to tell others about raw eating. Older people especially like to hear how eating raw took care of RA.. All they have to do is look ate my fingers and they know I had a problem! Besides a good way to start is, God lead me to…......

Please be careful in the number of times you do enemas!! and the type of fluid you use. Enemas, while beneficial, can really mess up your fluid & electrolyte balance inside your body.

As it is necessary to bathe the outside of our bodies, so it is with the inside. Do not take enemas or colonics at any time during the cleansing diet or afterwards. They are unnecessary and can be extremely harmful.

There is a much superior method of cleansing the colonic tract without the harmful effects of customary colonics and enemas. This method will cleanse the entire digestive tract while the colonics and enemas will only reach the colon or a small part of it. Colonics can be expensive while our salt-water method is not.

This is what it says in The Master Cleanse.

Are you rating your own creation?

Thank you for that…

ShutterNutter – Unfortunately, technically you have stopped your cleanse. But, if I were you, I would just pretend it never happened and keep going from where you were! One tiny bite of white rice and a little dressing is hardly detrimental.

Quiora – Stick with it! Don’t give up! You will regret it if you end early, trust me. My first cleanse I only made it 5 days and I was beating myself up for it. You are probably just detoxing. The third day is one of the hardest, at least it was for me. As far as the SWF in the AM – I’d say you should try to do it every morning if at all possible. It is really key in flushing out your system, but if you don’t want to/can’t do it, then at least have the lax tea in the AM! And limes are definitely good in switching up the LA a little bit.

violincyndee – Day 13! Wow, good for you! You must feel amazing! If you are having cravings though, you should definitely keep cleansing, otherwise you’ll be more prone to give in to the cravings (bad bad bad!) Stick with it, take it one day at a time. You’ll know when it’s time to stop! Good luck :-)

As far as I’m going, well my plan was to start on Monday the 6th, but it turned out to be really bad timing. I’m in college and I’m still living in the dorms (unfortunately), so it’s pretty hard to do things like this without a sink, and living in the same room as my food, lol. Also, I was going to tryout for the lacrosse team, and tryouts were this past week and it didn’t seem like a good idea for me to be cleansing and doing high intensity workouts at the same time. Turns out after day one of tryouts, I realized my heart isn’t in the game anymore, which actually kind of upset me but I’m glad I at least tried. I really wish I would have started my cleanse though, because I really need it. It’s just so hard being at school and doing it. My next full cleanse probably won’t be until January or February, but maybe I’ll surprise myself!

Good luck everyone! Keep it up, you’ll be glad you did :-)

I know there’s been some political tension here, so if you think you’ll be offended by a video mocking McCain’s decision to have Palin as VP, don’t watch this. Otherwise, enjoy. It’s very funny!
