Hi Anne,

Citrus is very good to do a cleanse with just make sure you dilute

50/50. Otherwise it will be too strong detox wise. You bet, dry skin

brushing twice daily (morning when you first get up and right before

going to bed) in front of an open window (if possible or out doors),

hot/cold showers, and hot epsom salt baths will all aid your detoxing

and cleansing. As for the dry skin brushing make a habit of it and do it

daily for the rest of your life. Your body and skin will literally love

you for it. In a month or two you won't believe how wonderful your skin

will look and feel.

Having a juice for your supper is a really good idea as it will be very

easy on your body and your body won't be needing to expend a ton of

energy on digesting, while you are sleeping, so it can spend the energy

on rebuilding and repairing instead. When you first wake up drink a

large cup or glass of distilled water with lemon in it. You will find in

time that the rumbling and gurgling will disappear as you cleanse more

and go more raw.

Supplements, hmmmm.....let's see here, if you are going to be eating

lots of fresh fruits and organic green leafy veggies (not the key here

is organic green leafy veggies as they are chock full of organic

minerals and vitamins) then you probably won't be needing much

supplementation. However, do keep up with your cal/mag for the time

being and your other supplements. You might find that you won't be

needing the vitamin (they are all synthetic anyway and you are much

better off getting your vitamins directly from the food your eat raw).

EPO is good and if you can get it hemp seed oil is very good source of

EFA's. It is natures perfect blend of omegas 3 & 6. Udo didn't make this

one. Do use organic EVOO too instead of any other oil for your foods

unless you choose to use organic hemp seed oil but EVOO is very good for

your body.

Eat raw but keep it simple. Makes it a whole lot easier to stay raw if

it is easy and not demanding and time consuming. There are some

wonderful recipes, some take an enormous amount of prep work and time to

put together and some are very easy and take very little time. I am sure

it is truly wonderful to show your prowess as a raw food chef and create

a six foot raw wedding cake and complete 6 course raw meal to boot. But

unless you are planning on making a business out of this then my

suggestion is to keep it simple and just enjoy. You want to experiment

and practice that is fine have fun. Just enjoy it and truly indulge

yourself in it. You won't regret being raw when you see where it will

take you.

Peace be with you Anne.
