The Dentist:

Today, I went to the dentist to replace an old filling. After receiving the shot for local anesthesia, I began feeling really bad. My heart was racing and I worried I might faint. The dentist told me it was the epinephrine...in 3 months, I haven't taken any medication or cooked foods, so this was the first toxic substance entering my body. It's the first time I have such a reaction. I think that the cleaner our bodies become, the more they will tend to react to foreign substances!

In two days, my mother will be visiting from Switzerland and staying with me for almost 1 month. This will be my first real challenge as she is not into raw foods...not even organic foods for that matter. Many times, I have tried to explain to her the advantages of eating organic...but it does not seem to register. So, until now, I haven't had any temptations...but it will become difficult if she begins to push me or tell me that I am too skinny...None of my friends are raw, so there goes the support! Hopefully, she will notice some positive changes in me and give raw foods a try :)
