I have had this experience too, mostly with strong herbs --that a raw food gives you a taste-change/stop; and that those eaten against an instinct can make you ill; and that something normally not good can be healing if you aren't well. I normally eat fresh raw greens from my yard, and when I was ill, they tasted horrible and gave me a sore throat immediately. Also, herbs that normally are horrible tasting are OK if they are the right ones and can be healing. regards, roberta [log in to unmask]
