"I do wonder whether to dust my juicer off and try a juicefeast, it might detox me quicker than trying to eat raw, and get to the point where i can do my waterfast abit sooner. Also on several weeks of juice, it will be easier to eat mainly raw after. Did you suffer much detox on the juice?"

Bling, as you probably know, there is a difference between juice fasting and juice feasting. I've never juice feasted - only fasted.

Regarding the detox, the first time I tried to detox was the absolute worst and that was pre-Internet days when you really had to hunt for info in bookstores! I consider my first detox to be when I drank my first cup of Laci le Beau tea. Oh my heavens was that an experience in detoxing! Since then, everything has been a breeze.

I'm 5'8" tall and 146 pounds, so not that much to spare. You did advice me to detox through diet first due to high cadnium etc, so i have been eating alot more raw. I keep forgetting to take the chorella, but i am taking a shot of wheatgrass daily, and maca. I'm not sure how good wheatgrass is compared to chorella for chelating but i was wondering if alternating daily between the two a good idea. I already feel more energized.
Finding decent fruit and vegetables in this country is hard. My son likes kiwi fruit, and it is very high in vit c. I usually buy the organic, but my husband bought some cheaper ones not organic and he won't eat them, says they are horrible, so it was false economy. So i shall stick to organic in future regardless of the cost i think.
If it was just me to think about i don't think i would have any trouble going totally raw, but when you have to provide food for family it is more difficult. I would not have said that a couple of months ago, going raw seemed horrendous, but there are so many good raw sites and receipes out there and the more i eat raw, the more i want to. I used to think cooked vegetarian would be adequate but not any more, my whole outlook is changing.
In December i'm getter a hairmineral test done, i get this done regulary, then if that is okay i will do the fast in January.
I think to quicken the detox i will start doing one day fasts once a week again. Maybe juice.

Thanks for clarifying it Chiron, I agree with you.
