welcome back Paul!
and thanks for the travel update. boy can I relate!
yes. yes.

better yet: take your own fruit, water, nuts, veggies, whatever.
I wouldn't trust airline quality chicken. no way. even if I ate meat.
it's probably the hormones that gave you the headache.
I get headaches from conventional eggs for that reason.

that's interesting way to soak them. hadn't thought of it but it makes

boy, I can relate to this one!

I also found that when I got sick, upon my return, I expelled an
extraordinary amount of mucous, as if the getting sick triggered a
house
cleaning beyond the toxins I had ingested. that's good :-)

I'm sorry to hear that. I encountered some tension and
misunderstandings
about diet as well. One of my hosts in Brazil felt that by refusing
some
of their food I was implying that it was "dirty" and I tried to
explain.
It was hard for her to understand because she did not have this
problem in
reverse, when she came here. but I guess she doesn't realize that we
kill
all forms of life in our water with chlorine so there are no
micro-organisms left at all to bother anybody. of course the long-term
effects of the chlorine are much more deadly, but its insiduously slow
in
its impact.
> But I'm glad to be home :)
welcome back. coming home is one of the joys traveling.
> I brought two 1 lb. bags of this Pulse snack and it was agreeable and

next time I travel I'll be brave like you and try the raw stuff and
stay away from the cooked. bet I'll do much better than the last time!
