Injectable B12- $600 a year, is everyone doing this?

Started this discussion. Last reply by melonhead Jan 8. 2 Replies 0 Likes

I asked someone on here who said he supplemented with injectable B12 and it was $150 for a three month supply. From what I gather (DR), injecting is the only way to be really sure you are getting the…Continue

"Me, too! I like the idea of some oj before- I try to eat a whole fruit breakfast (no smoothie) but I don't even know how long after eating! At this point, I drink a lot of water, work out, then eat, but don't know if this is ideal."

No Soap Washing, Two Weeks, Success!!

So, inspired by Miss Freelee yet again, I decided to give it a try and wash only with water. I have commented befeore that if felt pretty strange to be washing my body but not wanting the soap to hit my hair, which I quit using shampoo on in August 2012. I use my loofah brush in the shower, I plan to start dry brushing before a shower, but for now, I just wash like I used to, sans soap. I did not have high hopes for no soap as i have really fair skin and have had issues ( tinea veriscolor) in…See More

Second Entry, Six Month 811

Posted on August 10, 2012 at 6:30am 1 Comment 1 Like

Well, last night, I decided to try some of Dr. Doug's recipes from 811- had a mango and tomato, blended, with chucks of each in the bowl. It was wonderful- I like how he has the three courses for a dinner- fruity, fruity but moving towards veggie, then veggie with a little fruit. It makes sitting down to devour my greens more palatable. I have been using lemon juice on my salads for quite a while, now. It is a leftover belief from my high fat raw days, that I shouldn't combine veggies and…

I have thought about doing this for a while- if 30 BaD is going to provide me the forum to blog about fruit, I ought to take it- that's been my thinking, but for some reason, I have stayed away. I think blogging about my fruit journey would be good for accountability- to be able to use objectivity to see more clearly when choices in my life lead to choices in my food and vice-versa. It seems so easy to follow this lifestyle- I think i read where it is simple but not easy. I don't eat cooked…
