Hi Lucia, I just returned last night, three days early... Anyway here is my story, briefly, I think you will relate to it :) ... I got a terrible headache from eating chicken on the airline on the trip down. I got over that in a day, then I managed to get some raw vegetables and fruit in the city for a few days and they were agreeable, eating them in restaurants or, if bought at the grocery, soaking them in a collidal silver solution before eating, and Lucy and I had fun visiting museums and parks in the city. However on Tuesday, after eating some salmon in a restaurant, drenched in some yellow sauce, I noticed some mucous an hour later and within a day I was miserably sick with a 'cold'. I don't know if the cause was from something in the sauce or the salmon itself. Anyway, I've been just eating mostly fruits the past couple of days as I recover. I have been taking an herbal cleanser all along to avoid constipation so my body is able to 'clear' out junk more quickly. I am eliminating a lot of old mucuos in general (predating the trip) from the nose and the bowel, which must be a good thing :). Although I told Lucy about my diet I think she was uncomfortable with it and we had some communication problems in general, so she told me she could not see me the rest of the week on Wednesday. I have been sad about that. But I'm glad to be home :) I brought two 1 lb. bags of this Pulse snack and it was agreeable and helped me during travel days. Paul
