Thanks for your candid feedback. I value everyone’s opinions. I had been on the raw diet for 3 months prior to my first MC, and after breaking back in to eating (by the book), continued a raw diet. So I guess I’ll never know for sure if it was the MC or my age that is the culprit for me. One thing is clear to me from the reading I’ve been doing.... Exercise is a must for me. I don’t want to lose muscle mass, which is what will continue to burn calories after the MC is over. I’m thinking that’s a big mistake I made with the first time. (not exercising enough) It’s interesting you m ...

Does anyone have any comments they would like to share about their long term results with the Master Cleanse? I first tried this about three years ago. I was 44 at the time, was on for 10 days, lost 10 pounds, kept eating 90% veg. raw diet after the MC. Not long after, I gained the 10 pounds back. And then gained another 10, ending up at 175 pounds. (I’m 5’10”). It seems like being in the peri-menopausal stage, I made a huge error with not working out while I was on the MC. Over the last couple of years, my weight has continued to creep up (to 190), and didn’t stop until I joined a g ...

Everyone is different, and I would like to share an experience I heard second hand. (My daughter’s teacher told me an incredible success story about her sister, who had been diagnosed with MS.) Her health had deteriorated so badly, she almost couldn’t walk anymore. I don’t remember the exact changes she made to her diet (I’m pretty sure stopping diet soda was one of them), but what was memorable to me at the time, were the changes she made to her environment around her. Per advice from a naturopath, she quit dying her hair, painting her nails, and wearing synthetic fibers. She switched ...

Hi - Thanks for the link, Ev. I’m so stupid when I’m not paying attention - I see that I meant to ask about MENINGITIS. My apologies to all those readers out there. (So I’ve changed the Subject of my post too.) Oh, well, may this be the worst confusion I have this week! lol   [End]

My daughter’s pediatrician told us that she would be required to have an Encephalitis vaccination prior to entering college (still two years away for us). Has anyone read any pros or cons about this vaccination? Side effects? Like many vaccinations which have much controversy, I’m not confident that this is a good thing to do. We don’t really want her to have this mystery cocktail. I’m also interested to know if anyone else has had success in enrolling their children in college without having the vaccination. (I’m not sure when exactly this requirement is going to take effect. We li ...
