We all have ups and downs emotionally, and we usually accept this as part of normal life. Some of us get sadder than others and some of us get happier than others.  These opposite ends of the spectrum are both effected by eating a raw food diet, which naturally detoxes your system, physically and emotionally.  As … Read More

To get an idea of what Spiritual Detox is, I first need to explain what I mean by ‘spiritual’ in the first place. You may think that you don’t have a spiritual bone in your body. You may feel that you are entirely made up of ‘spirit’ or that you are deeply connected with God or … Read More
