>The "light disconnected feeling" may be due to a zinc deficiency. Since >the body does not store zinc reserves deficiency symptoms can show up >pretty soon. The RAF is high in zinc. By a remarkable coincindance, a few years ago, while I was a vegan, a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner did a pulse diagnosis and said that I was deficient in Zinc, and that I should eat meat for this reason, and due to my digestive system being weak. Of course, I reacted in true vegan style by not visiting her again. Maybe I am boderline zinc deficient, and going raw vegan exacerbated this. >Have you had your choleterol checked since you have been all raw? Maybe >it is no longer so high. And even if it is high there is some question as >to whether cholesterol levels really matter. Late last year I checked my cholesterol levels as a prelude to an Instincto experiment. (You know, check before and after...) However, the levels came out so high that it scared me away from RAF. After I that I read Severen's book and became bolder. I plan to re-check the levels after a significant period on raw+RAF (perhaps 6 months or so). Thanks Mike!~ Roy
