Hi, it's my first time on the list, and I have started to include lots of raw food into my diet mainly through juicing at this point. A couple of days ago, I brought in some brocolli to work. I washed the brocolli with water, and dried it. Then I ate it with some cold pressed olive oil (which was kept in the refrigerator) along with some good quality salad dressing (containing no fat, apple cider vinager, garlic). Before I ate my broccoli, an hour previously I drank some red zinger herbal tea. An hour and a half, I drank some ginseng tea. $hours later after my brocolli lunch, I felt nauteous before I was preparing dinner. Later, I vomiting a small amount of liquid, and I saw little sprouts of brocolli that went undigested. I felt fine afterward, but I felt another heave coming through. I drank a lot of water to facilitate the vomiting. I vomited again, and for the third time. It came out the other end too, with little broccoli sprouts undigested. This has never happened to me before. I have been eating my broccoli lunch like this for a month now. What went wrong? The only thing that I can think of was that I didn't chew the broccoli enough which showed up as some of it being unchewed. What should I do next time? Steam my broccoli, or chew more slowly? ** With my juicer, I got a vegetable spray that contains purified water and ionic surficant (I forgot the ingredient offhand). Anyways, I've been using it to wash my veggies and it claims to remove pesticides and wax. I don't know how much it costs because it came free with my juicer, but I will consider buying it again if I see it in the health food store. Is this no better than using dishwashing detergent?
