Looks good!! And includes a great tool for locating whatever you need, in your area. What a nice way to transition into a wholesome and rejuvenative plant-based diet--maybe even go all -or mostly- raw. ( I confess I like a little heat in the winter months, in the way of soup.)

For years, I've been hearing and reading about the OJ fast, (esp. on Barefoot's forum, where it enjoys legendary status, and one envisions a new heart and liver at 40 days...)and I kept thinking of how awful I used to feel after drinking orange juice from a carton, as a child.  And so often, well, almost every time I would again try one, a fresh orange would taste slightly moldy to me. Just not fresh.

Then, just months before falling into the strange and wondrous world of water fasting, a few years back, I started to really enjoy oranges.
The situation was a ten day meditation retreat,(google "vipassana"), in a hot June, and said oranges were cold and fresh, nectar-like; they were our afternoon tea after a long day of sitting. I'd never tasted anything so delicious in my life.

So now I'm rather inspired again by the idea of an orange juice fast. I still love the experience of the water fast, but think I'm going to give the OJ fast a try, if I can locate any good oranges. That's another thing--your standard non-organic orange is not fit to eat--but take a look at the marvelous package of nutrients that is the (organic, unpoisoned) orange--Notice the perfect balance of calcium and magnesium, say?
And all the other good things? Wow. You might think some of the amounts are too minute to truly count, but I'm convinced that the human body actually only needs very small amounts of "vitamins" and so forth, especially as it returns to functioning as Nature always intended.

best, C

Edit--I hope I am not linking to this inappropriately--it seems like a godsend for a lot of people who might come across it... I came by it "honestly" while googling for the OJ fast. Suggest readers might want to look further into TheGardenDiet site and perhaps order some ebooks fromm them; this document appears to be part of the e-book package. These people walk their talk, I believe. And their testimonies would seem to attest so. I am not afilliated with them in any way, btw. Just found something that wants sharing.
