Wow. I'm somebody'e mentor?? Hehe. How cool! I'm honored to be your mentor, wannaberaw ;) If you go to rawfoodsupport.com and look on the "Other Health Related" forum, there is a loooonnnngggg thread about
Liver Flushing that I started there, where I described how I do it. I think
Liver Flushing is just incredbible, at least it has been so far for me. I used to have really bad arthritis, which I took care of by doing
The Master Cleanse and then becoming raw, but I was on prednisone and some other meds for a few years, and put a lot of stress on my liver, and may have even done some permanent damage, which is why the fats are so hard on me. I think after doing more flushes, all will be ok, at least that's what I'm hoping. I wish you all the best with your flushes, I'll be following your progress with great interest, especially now that I know I'm your mentor and all :)
yemaya, hehe - yes! Lots of gas when I first went raw...oh my God. It was horrible - I could not believe I was actually manufacturing all of that gas! I eliminated it completely after about a month or so by doing 2 things - not eating fruit with anything else except other fruit, and always soaking nuts and seeds before eating them or using them in a recipe. If I slip and forget to soak, the gas comes back ;)
