Just about everyone is new to vegetarinanism at some point, and there are a few things to keep in mind. One, beware of the personal care products you use and the household products you keep around. Be a label reader! I'm sure most of you already are though!! Use all natural dish soap, laundry detergent, paper towels, TOILET PAPER-NO BLEACHED PAPER-Very Important!!, toothpaste, deoderant, body soap, shampoo, the list goes on and on. What you put on the outside of your body makes it's way into the body. Two, wash ALL your produce with a good all natural soap. Even if the produce is organic it still needs to be washed carefully. People are constantly touching everything around them, so wash repeatedly if necessary. Here's some good information, http://deewee.themastersmiracle.com Good Luck and Good Health! Sunshine
