**** I completely understand your confusion about mixed messages regarding

optimal

health. I have been on a personal quest for over 20 years to find the right way

of eating

that will keep me healthy and disease free. I have practiced so many different

approaches

to diet over the years as a result. And I have done extreme diets: for examole

I was a

raw-fooder for two years. I have done vegetarianism to Atkins. And one thing I

have

noticed about consuming raw juices (and huge salads as well) is that it gives

me diarrhea

(and not the yellow toxin-releasing version that I have experienced on Bee's

program

during die-off cycles) and it causes me digestive distress.

Since you mentioned that you are experiencing digestive distress, I thought you

might be

experiencing similar responses that I have had to drinking daily green drinks.

Perhaps you

could cut out the drink (and any other raw veggie consumption) for a week and

see if you

experience any lessening of the symptoms.

I agree, we have to listen to our own bodies to navigate the truth. So maybe

you should

conduct your own experiments on yourself?
