I'm not telling you to do this but just letting you know that last night I finger combed (no tools just hands) my unfortunate fluffy puffy sausage looking backcombed dreads out and went over them with a loose t'n'r and they look and feel much better already. I know this site mainly supports the natural method but I'm glad I 'fixed' mine some what. I'm much happier and I feel my dread babies are not of to a much better, healthier start.
You will find that you will crave things that your body needs. So if you have been thinking about a nice big juicy pear all day go and buy, swap, barter for some. I can guarantee there is something in that pear that your body is needing and its letting you know. Listen to your body, be mindful of what you eat and MOST importantly if you don't grow the fruit and veg yourself or if you don't know how they were grown or who grew them...WASH THEM WELL before eating. Organic is always always the best option, especially if you have grown it yourself or know the person who grew it and their methods for growing. I think red meat is deadly for you, that's just my opinion though. If you decide to eat white meat, chicken needs to be in meals where it is shredded/broken down like curries, soups etc. Fresh fish is the optimal choice though, preferably cought by yourself. Make sure you grow your own chickens or at least try and source free range, otherwise you will be eating a plate full of chemicals and cruelty. Have fun on your new journey and I wish you the best of luck!
Oh I HAVE to follow this - your cracking me up already! Plus all your questions are ones I would love to hear answers to as well. I stumbled across a member onhere by the profile name of Didjeridurian that is a really inspiring fruitarian, you should look him up, he has videos, books and a website also. I'm arelatively 'new'vegetarian that loves to garden and sew but I have no real pearls of wisdom for you, if you have any specific questions regarding those feild I'll have a stab but I'm no guru.
My Mum and sisters live in Ulverstone TAS, I'm hoping to make it over there for the first time later in the year, I hear it's gorgeousbush landand great food - 2 of my fav things!
:P to do that bs/acv rinse you will need to do the baking soda part first goin straight for the vinegar kinda makes the scalp irratated. but for the baking soda soak you should use a gallon of water with 1/2 cup of baking soda soak your dreads in it take em out wait 10 mins rinse then use the apple cider vinegar i use a little more than half a cup per gallon on that then pour over your head or soak them and then rinse again you can add oils for more affects like rosemary for good scalp balance and tea tree has been used for A LONG time as something to keep away insects although you wont really have to worry about that peppermint oil also leaves a good smell and helps your scalp
netflix is an online subscription where for $9+ a month you get unlimited movies sent to you in the mail and you send them back. you also get to watch a extensive collection of movies instantly streamed to your ps3 or wii. between that and redbox ($1night movie rentals in a vending machine) we dont even go to video stores.well Dr. Sears is considered the authority of AP ere in the states. he has the 7 B's http://www.askdrsears.com/html/10/t130300.asp AP to me is just instinctive parenting. i never heard of AP when I had my oldest son 12 years but I knew that having him circumcised was wrong so I didn't do it, I knew breast was best, that sharing a bed was the right thing to do for both of us, that responding to his needs was important and not listening to all the ill given advice i received.
i have this lovely soft cashmere sweater that I have been using as a pillow case all winter, we cosleep too, I just tied the arms together, no problem It's soooo soft, I love it. probably not the best wool for dreading though
Just be patient the static charge built by the wool shall help daily
