Tom, thanks for the excerpts of the article. The author describes some symptoms that I hat, too. But only during the first 1-3 years of eating raw. Currently my food doesn't occupy much of my time, I don't always think about it and I enjoy working with "cooked eaters". I think that the occurrence of such symptoms has to do with the personality of the one who starts to eat raw AND with missing substances in the food. I would also have a lot of cravings when I would try to live from conventional stuff. But with good stuff, enough motion and good a good partner or some friends, the mentioned symptoms should disappear. And although I met some instable persons in the raw and Instincto circles, many others where highly consequent and successful in other aspects of there lives, too. Many of the instinctive eaters I know are either engineers (hardware or software) or musicians. -Karl
