Glad to hear that. Take whatever supps help you feel better, but
something
to keep in mind - at certain points you may be surprised that ones
that help
you now stop working, or become useless and even detrimental later on.

Be patient, and also it may not be 100% raw for you that is ideal
(though
I'm not necessarily opposed to that despite certain important issues
-
nutritional and psycho-social - regarding 100% raw diets).

I wish I could tell you exactly why staying away from refined sugar is
easy
for me (actually having to eat it for some reason would be hard), but
it
appears that simply a combination of things I've learned, plus simply
knowing what it does/did to me, seem to be all I need. I think the
psychological part is sort of like the situation with certain
long-term
vegetarians who do not 'believe' in meat-eating, and it just becomes
something they don't and maybe can't do or would find very difficult.

I don't think I mentioned it but I agree with Mark, yes, this can be
very
helpful too, as long as you are not cleansing to compensate for recent
dietary indiscretion.
