raw-healthy, cooked-ill................

I have really discovered the difference between being well with raw and being ill with cooked. I am not even 100% raw, but I recently every time I eat something cooked that is processed or made with refined suger my stomach IMMEDIATELY reacts and I feel like I am having acid reflux. Woha, this is totally new to me, but I find it means that my body is changing and adapting to more raw foods and less processws foods. I have been feeling stuffy, sneezy and coughing today and just kinds yucky. I really believe it is from all the "yucky" food I have eaten the last several days. You can see for yourself. I made some green juice a bit ago and it really feels like it is "kicking it out of me"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
