Water

[Guest guest]

I know I'm asking a lot of question lately, but I've just now made the

decision to go totally raw, no ifs ands or buts. I did a 5-day trial

last week, eating some fruit in the morning and a salad at night (I

eat very little). I'm 21 and have had acne since I was in 8th

grade--since age 13, I guess. I have it still, but it's gotten much

better over the past year or so. I went fruitarian last year for a

little while, but was eating a lot of high-sugar fruits like kiwis,

grapes, melons, etc, and was definitely eating them all in the same

meal (I didn't know about combining :/). My acne got better for a

while but then came back just as bad, and I didn't lose any weight

eating like that, so I abandoned it. I think Gabriel Cousens' live

green cuisine approach is probably pretty good, though--how he starts

you on mostly veggies and the really low glycemic fruits (tomatoes,

cucumbers, etc), then says you can work up to the rest. I've been

eating all low glycemic fruits and veggies for probably all of this

year, though interspersed with my not-so-occasional cooked food

binges. But even still my acne disappeared everywhere on my face

except for my chin, and has been that way as long as I've been eating

like that. Then I did that 5 day all raw just a few days ago and no

new acne showed up, and my face is totally clear, aside from the

scars. And I didn't get my period, as is in the other post, but

apparently that may be proper for someone on an all raw vegan diet,

and I don't eat any nuts/seeds, though I may slowly work them in down

the road.

 

So, I wanted to get a water filter to get as healthy as I can be on my

budget. I don't think I want to go the reverse osmosis route, but just

a good filter to get out the chloride/fluoride and most of the other

junk I know is in my water. I was just looking for suggestions, if any

of you use water filters or get it from your health food stores or

what have you. It'd just be for personal use, I don't need a lot a

day, I don't really seem to need fluids all that much--probably get a

lot from the food, but still, I'd like one for when I make tea and

such. Open to suggestions.

 

And sorry for the round-about way of getting to that, but .. it feels

good to finally have really made that choice to cross fully over the

line and go totally raw.. from now till forever
