About Me:
my name is steven jones im 23 date of birth 18/7/1984 and live in the UK all my life. i like to keep fit and health and eat a good diet full of organic foods and im noe looking into doing the cleanses.
Steve, I've read in many places that raw food is indeed cleansing. It's said to take 2-3 yrs to do it's job of ridding the body of the normal acidosis that those of us on SAD foods accumulate naturally. Detox is always easlier if your organs of elimination are working optimally.
Our bodies business as usual elimination channels:
colon
kidneys
liver
lymphatics
lungs
skim
Eating raw organic foods is a good detoxer steven. I have the book by Natalie Rose - The Raw Food Detox Diet. You have made a great start and can move forward as you are able to. Keep up the good work.
Steve, I've read many articles of people reporting herxheimer/detox symptoms from nothing more than changing to a raw food diet.
One's bowels MUST be moving well, if yours are, you're on a great trek.
Steven - I ditto the quote Holly sent you from William Cooper. I personally have not had a lot of success with food combining but feel great drinking green smoothies. Even if all the enzymes were killed (which I don't believe) - the vitamins and other nutrition would still be tops. Try them and make your decision - and let us know how it goes. Good luck.

Hmmmm....I had never heard that before so im not sure! Marilyn seems to have answered the question....she is chock full of good information. Food combining is definately the best way to go....along with eating vegan, raw foods.
Steve, I've studied nutrition for 2 1/2 yrs now (self-education style). There are absolutely food combining rules, but it has to do with alkalinity of the stomach, not enzymes from what I read. The only thing that ever seemed close to iffy for me in a green smoothie is nuts and seeds. David Wolfe states uncatagorically in his book, The Sunfood Diet Success System that the enzymes in leafy greens provide the extra enzymes for digesting even unsoaked nuts in an alkaline stomach. My very berry green smoothie yesterday proved to me this works. I still don't digest raw nuts unless they are thoroughly soaked or in a green smoothie.
People sit down to a cooked meal and drink GLASSES of water, pop, tea, copious amounts of coffee, etc. THAT dilutes the digestion YES. Adding 2-4 oz of water to a green smoothie so you have a drinkable fluid instead of a paste, I see as NO problem.
