Re: just eating fruit ok? Won't it feed parasites?

Raw 811'ers recommend lots of bananas because they are high in Sugar and therefore, high in the all important calories.

Not saying lots of bananas are right for everyone, but I eat up to 10 a day sometimes with no ill effect expect if I eat too many too soon I may feel a little bloated afterward. My digestion is not the best, though.

I don't necessarily agree with 100% all the time either, but you really know you shouldn't if raw foods start hurting your stomach due to bad digestion.

Flukes are extremely rare in the U.S. Very doubtful you have them...

If your body is craving fruit, FEED IT FRUIT!!! Sugar cravings are a sign of your cells haven't gotten enough glucose for the day. Just keep fat low so it doesn't block your body's ability to transport glucose into your cells.

Not sure why so many bowel movements. Lot of feces coming out each time? I know eating a lot of apples or drinking lots of apple juice can cause a lot of bowel movements if your body isn't used to that much in a day. Looking like dices onions/apples might be you're not digesting the harder fruit like apples well. Maybe stick with the softer fruits, like bananas, pineapple, mangoes, persimmons, papaya, ect.

Although Dr. Graham says bowel movements should be 2-5 times a day and not come out as logs, but look like what your ate and fall apart in the water (see near the end...)

Make sure you're staying hydrated. Your pee should always be clear. "If it's yellow or straw, drink more!"
