September 6th 2010 | Day 4 | [11:22pm]

I've discovered that the herbal parasite killing pills are really hard on my system if I'm not eating anything. I've gone similar periods of time without eating without the effects of the past few days.
I was fine today however. I slowly put very tiny of portions of food into me throughout the day with lots and lots of enzyme pills (so that nothing would be left undigested for parasites/bacteria to eat).
Throughout the day I finished the apple I started yesterday, essentially three bites at a time, a handful of blackberries, a handful of raw pistachios, half a banana and a green drink which contained celery, cucumbers, spinach, lettuce, carrot and carrot tops.
Last night I discovered how truly important enemas are while detoxing. If you're flushing toxins from your muscles, they just end up somewhere else if you don't get them out of your body. Clean intestines make a world of difference to how I feel.
The reason I hadn't been doing enemas from the beginning, as I intended, was because I was so faint I didn't feel up to it. After eating just a few berries, raw nuts, and couple bites of banana and a green drink I got my strength back and stopped being cold.
I think I'm going to write a new detox outline tomorrow based on what I've learned.

[11:35pm]

My new outline will include a day of water-fasting a week, plenty of enemas, lots of cleaning and being hygienic as I laid out before, but certain portions of vegetables and fruits on a cycle throughout the week.
Total consumption today:
  • 2 herbal parasite-killing pills, 4 enzyme pills and 1 probiotic
  • 2 tall glasses of water
  • 2 cups tea
  • 1 green drink (spinach, lettuce, green onions, celery, carrot & carrot top, cucumber)
  • A handful of blackberries
  • A handful of raw chipoltli pistachios
  • ½ banana
  • ½ kiwi
  • A couple mouth fulls of coconut water
  • ¾ apple, throughout the day
Ah, It's actually been a quite pleasant labor day.

August 30th 2012

If this isn't obvious, I'm migrating this content from my old blog (Really Raw Raederle) to my website where I'm putting all of my content (art, poetry, recipes, meal plans, blogs, articles, musings, etc) together. It's actually fascinating to go back to the beginning of my raw journey and read these old posts.
I no longer struggle with the taste of celery, spinach or many other vegetables I used to hate. I ate sunflower sprouts on a salad yesterday without even thinking twice about it. Back when this was written I still couldn't stand the thought or smell of sprouts.
It's been well over a year since I had the sensation of going numb so easily as I described on Day 3. My circulation is obviously much stronger today than ever before. It's incredible how much I've forgotten about my previous ill health. It slipped my mind that I used to go to bed dizzy and that my limbs went numb if any gentle pressure was applied to them.
How strange to find strength in reading of my own past problems...
I hope you find inspiration here! Let your healing begin.

Vibe Logging: The Value in Tracking Emotions Through Time

-

  For many years I tracked how I spent every minute of my time – and I learned fun facts about myself – over the course of three years of data my average time spent reading fictional novels per day was forty-four minutes. But eventually I stopped logging my time; I’d learned it added roughly twenty minutes to my shower to wash my hair, and that I didn’t feel happy with my relationship when we spent under two hours of quality time together per day. The experiment was a success, but the returns were diminishing. Then, seven years after the original time-logging project began, I had a new inspiration: vibe logging. The premise was that each day had a “vibe” to it – wistful, industrious, melancholy, frustrated, introspective – and that by keeping track of these vibes I’d learn something about how my mood shifted over the course of days, weeks, months, and – maybe, if I was ambitious enough – years. I’ve been “vibe logging” for four years now, and I can say this project has been an astonish

Can a raw vegan avoid nuts? If I have a nut allergy, can I eat a raw food diet?

-

The short answer is, "Yes!" In fact, I encourage all raw vegans to eat very few to no nuts. Eating too many nuts can actually be very toxic and cause nut allergies. There are a number of things to be wary of with shelled nuts. Shelled nuts are... easy to over-eat high calorie and high fat prone to mold, which leaves behind toxins, particularly aflatoxin sometimes labelled raw, yet not actually raw often moldy without showing signs of being rancid visually stored for long periods of time and oxidized not very nutritious to begin with Several of my books limit or do not include nuts. This is because most raw recipe books have nuts in nearly every recipe. In fact, I've bought a recipe book that called for a whole cup of nuts in the majority of the recipes. Generally cashews, which you will not find raw at the grocery store. “Raw Cashews” at your local market only means “not roasted.” Cashews are boiled out of their shell. Th
