"I would be interested in this too as I own a pool and wonder about the chemicals. Maybe if the chemicals are not safe there is a way to naturally take care of pool? Hope someone has this knowledge :)"

"Do you find that the frozen mangoes are ripe? I've been interested in getting frozen mango pulp for smoothies, but I'm worried that they freeze the mangoes before they ripen."

I am sick of it and am ready to feel great like all of the people I have seen do the HCRV lifestyle. I also found our that my father is on the brink of type 2 diabetes. My grandfather died of a heart attack in his late 40s. I don't want that for myself. I want to live a long life and feel good along the way. I am hoping to get some support along my journey so I can have a better life for myself and my family.

Reading "The 80-10-10 Diet" by Dr Doug Graham is vital for succeeding on this lifestyle. Please acquire this book as soon as possible.: I will read the book

Are you Connected?: yes married

My favourite books/movies/authors/pastimes are....: My favorite book is Homecoming by Cynthia Voight. I could read that over and over again. My favorite movie is Rigeletto. It was a old movie my parents got from some christian mail order movie service. It is not religious but has a great message and beautiful singing. I love to listen to a variety of music to relax.

Bananas and dates are obviously the easiest to get. 4.50/lb at sams club (dates) and the cheapest bananas you can find are 29c/lb but thats only at TOPS (and it's rare) or ethnic markets (indian/asian). Right now mangoes are coming in. I actually have a hook up with an indian vendor on MANGOES right now so i'm willing to buy boxes for you ($8 a box). Citrus is usually great in Rochester but your only gonna get a deal at the public market. Vegetables and tender greens are never an issue. Like I said summer is the best time for going 100%! I'm currently on the banana wagon. I don't know how you feel about juices but one of my secrets is store brand (wegmans) flash pasteurized 100 percent OJ. It's really good. I used to splurge on wegmans fresh squeezed but ti's pricey. I supplement with tubers, potatoes mostly (sweet, yukon, russet). I find they digest the easiest and I really do enjoy them. I don't know how basic your eating style is and I don't know where you wanna be but I'll let you know that I'm probably the biggest fruit muncher in Monroe county and that I add no condiments! LOL . Alright look forwarding to hearing from yoU!
