About Me:: I have been a vegetarian for 4 years now, vegan for a year. I really want to work towards being a raw vegan and have a much healthier body and life. I was so excited to find out about this Global Juice Feast and the health benefits you can gain from it.

What kind of life shifts/transformations are you looking to have with Juice Feasting?: I would like overall health improvement. But, I had to admit each time I try to start this feast I fall/fail. I have a couple health issues I know can be wiped out if I would stick to this for even 30 days. One that has plagued my life for awhile is IBS and I want freedom from it.

Interests (Beyond Nutrition): Hiking, mountain/road biking, snorkeling, gardening, reading, friends, animals, art, nature, kayaking, yoga, tai chi, weight training, geocaching

Some of the big changes that have happen is that I am no longer have to take anything to go to sleep .And I do sleep. Before I was on several different sleeping pills plus another med to help plus herbs. NOW just juice.

The other thing is I am showing up more for LIFE. This past weekend I did a 3 hour workshop on Empowering your HEART, soaring into ARM balances. Which is an Anusara yoga, that is a firey yoga. Did while juicing. Have another yoga workshop next weekend.

I still get tired,so I need to make sure I get my rest. But I am having a life, which is so different from the past 3 years.

Have a wwonderful day........

Thanks for your part in making it a peaceful day and blessings to you!

I went for 45 days and have been back on solids now since 4/18. All raw of course! I continue to heal and get better, and for the most part, each day is better then the day before. How about you?

I am just finishing up week 4 of the program.... man it's a HARD/GREAT workout. Finally something on DVD that is challenging!!! I would love to hear your stories or thoughts about it.

At 1:13am on April 26, 2008, Kathy said…: I have the constipation IBS also. I believe mine started from emotions...stress related. Since I had not found relief from it I used/use herbal laxatives. Well, I have been using them long enough I know the only help would be total raw or the Juice Feast. So I am with you. Doing this 100% will probably be our best bet. I have been dealing with this for 22 years how about you.

I hadn't heard about avoiding citrus. Hmmmm I would be curious about finding out more about that.

How is your IBS ? Any improvements ? I am just wondering as I have Constipation IBS, but heard that IBS can be emotional based in some people. But Juice Feasting helps to let go of emotions, so the feast could help in two ways, giving the digestion chance to heal up, and to release all the bad emotions and thoughts that stop the digestive process from working properly.

Also I wonder if it's a good idea to avoid citrus fruits as they can be irritating.

I'm currently doing a modified juice feast, but I hope to go 100% soon.

Mike

If I can learn from the both of you a way to help my friend, and my sister also, (I am so embarrassed that I forgot my sister is dealing with this) I would be so grateful. You both are an inspiration.
