Your S.O., he has any heart/ cholesterol conditions? I have read research that states raw garlic will increase blood flow all over the body and yes there too. Have him get his HDL/LDL checked but I hope you can tolerate the garlic smell! Good luck!   [End]

Hi, I agree with you mpdela. I ”got off track” recently with my diet and exercise regime (just plain careless and not seeing results). I had previously had some relief with diet changes. I went vegan and things cleared up a little for me. I have food addiciton problems (to top off the fecal smell!) so I had issues keeping to the diet. I went back at the diet full force this time. No grains, no coffee, no meat, no choline, just lots of fresh fruit, veg, and some seeds. Because I did this full-force I have had the SEVERE worsening of symptoms lately. Even I can smell the smell now lin ...

OMG this thread is sooo funny. I have been on both sides to this train of thought. Guess what? That train is going nowhere. I just try to do good for principle’s sake. I mess up sometimes, but I don’t beat myself up. Human nature...afterall, we are not all Saints here. If I always TRY to be the best that’s good enough for me. Who cares if it ever comes back to you? If you are relying on PEOPLE to change & the Karma to come back to you THAT way, don’t hold your breath. Most people are ”takers” and love that you ”give too much”. That’s O.K. Recently, I had someone FINALLY pay fo ...

TYPES OF RAW FOOD DIETS: A BRIEF SURVEY by Tom Billings There are many types of raw food diets. A list, with descriptions, follows. * Sproutarian - one whose diet is predominantly sprouts. Those eating only sprouts are extremely rare; most sproutarians have a varied raw food diet. * Living Fooder - version of sproutarianism. The Ann Wigmore-style living fooder has a vegan diet centered on sprouts, raw fermented foods, and raw blended foods. Hippocrates Institute (Brian Clement) and Gabriel Cousens teach similar, yet slightly different, versions of living foods diets. * Natural ...

First you have to figure out what kind of veg. you are going to be. There’s lacto-ovo-veg (very common) which is a veg. that eats milk products & eggs. Some people do a variation of both. Some people (not me--I’ve just heard this) still consider themselves veg and eat fish & seafood....whatever. Then there are vegans who don’t eat eggs, cheese, milk, or any animal products(yes, even honey)...and still some of those will not use ANY products from an animal. Leather shoes? Out. Soap with tallow in it, OUT! Then there is a group that is Raw. Yeah there are raw foodists that eat raw a ...

So? Has anyone at this point had any relief of symptoms with the mushroom extracts? I am about to order it and I would like to hear some feedback from other people at this point. I use Chlorophyllin to no avail and diet as well. Please respond, thanks. :)   [End]

I’m glad you took the time to give the confession. I feel for you. I’m not offering advice, just a similar story. I’ve posted it all over the internet for her to see, hoping she’ll see it one day and contact me, that day never comes. I was doing drugs and treated her like hell. I cheated on her all the time and we were not together that long. When she started dating someone else I stalked her and made her fear me. She was young and scared. There was nothing I could do to win her back. I got my life back together.....then I seduced her. She was such a giving soul and believed in forg ...

I am about 3 weeks into the raw diet too. I don’t know about the medication/ afflictions you have as it pertains to the diet. However, I am still ”detoxing” very heavily. I am tired all the time (could sleep for 10 hours with no relief), have massive break outs on my face, scalp, and arms, and my skin is flakey. Not to mention the emotional roller-coaster I am on. Seems like the last ”addiction” I had was food and it was the last thing covering up all my life’s dramas. Now I have things surface from years ago like they are brand new. You are forced to deal with them now like all the ...

Time for a little self reflection, that’s all. Sex is one thing (I’m sure people will disagree) but love is another. Did you ask yourself why you cheated in the first place? Are you ”just like your....” (fill in the blank with whatever family member it is...brother, mother, father..)? Are you just repeating what they did because that’s what you know? Are you afraid of being alone and are trying to self-fulfill your prophecy? Are you afraid of death and feel ”alive again” after 29 years with someone else? I know, I was a cheater. I lost the love of my life that way. The mistress ...

I had no idea the detox would be so heavy this time around. I have no one around me who is raw, only ovo-lacto-veg. I’ve researched the nutritional aspect of it & all but...wow, these symptoms are worse than I had when I went veg. Pimples on my face, arms, and scalp? Constipation, headaches, night sweats, body aches and odor???, and oh yeah....mood swings. I have to say the emotional component is the worst. I have stuff surfacing that I haven’t thought about in over 10 years, and I can’t get them out of my head....like the body is expelling them and FORCING me to deal with the trau ...

Well thank you guys for your words of encouragement. I’ve not ALWAYS been like this. I think I did this to myself & others as a way to cope with whatever happened. I just reacted & did so very badly. I have forgiven myself and others around me. I have not only been the abuser, I haev been at the other end of it too. I’ve also tried to stave away the negative people in my life. Almost like misery loves company, the people attracted into my life were just as horrible as I was. You’re so right!!!: ”Positivity keeps you moving forward and in doing so, many people will see that as a t ...

Hello everyone. I know there is sparse posting to this page, but I’m trying anyway. In the last few years I have experienced some horrible traumatic events and illnesses. I have also been no angel during this time, or any other time. Someone briefly mentioned to me that since I was such a ”problem child” all my life that it’s probably karma coming back to me. In order to deal with what life dished out, I reacted in anger, violence, revenge, and drank/did drugs to cover my feelings. I have tried all types of ”cures” for my ailments from westernized medicine to natural cures and meditat ...

Yes. There have been people on here who spoke about the apple/ flax seed thing for cleaning the colon and keping the fecal odor/ irregularity away. Raw foods also help. Try doing a google search for raw vegans or vegetarians and body odor. Most info. on those sites say people who do these diets decrease their body odor almost to nothing. These diets are also high in fiber which helps if your odor is ”fecal”. Strawberries (urban myth)are supposed to make you smell and ”taste” better, if you know what I mean. Look up fruitarian diets as well. Good luck.   [End]

I know exactly what you mean ”thesickone”, I experienced the same thing. I have been going through this for years as well & have not worked much since then. This is bizarre and very bad for the self-esteem. I had no idea I had the problem until a few years ago when I started at a new job and they served me up some raw humiliation. Then I started recounting all the times in my life when people were WAY too interested about my showering schedule and such. I may have had this all the way back in college or high school. I remember people sitting next to me saying nasty comments and tell ...

Hi all! Need some advice. Have been changeing my diet around for years and lost about 50 lbs. I eat mostly low fat meats (fish/chicken)and veggies. I’ve also tried raw diets for a week here or there. Dairy ruins my digestion. I have stopped losing weight and need to boost my metabolism. I am very muscular and lift weights. I think I can pull off the veg diet but worry about muscle loss and the ability to build muscle while losing weight. I also have several friends who are vegan and say the lifestyle would help with my sweating and b.o. I guess they smell the meat on me. Please ...
