======================================

Hi Jan,

Sounds like raw cultured cabbage and veggies is just what you need.

Don't worry about a juicer just now. You are doing great just eating

mostly raw and organic. This is a big plus and a large step towards good

health. You can always just blenderize your veggies too and they will be

more easily digestible and their nutrients more quickly available for

your bodies needs. Eventually you will find your first juicer. Really

sounds like you are coming along quite nicely. Good health takes time

and you are investing wisely. Keep up the excellent work. You are doing

great.

Peace be with you Jan.
