AMBER- There's a lot of produce that needn't be organic, especially when you throw the rind out: canteloupe, for instance. And some things are not treated with pesticide... I think asparagus is one. So if you find some organic in the grocery or Trader Joe's that has skin that you eat, that's good, and get regular if you're throwing out the skin. Washing strawberries doesn't cut it though. Sad because organic strawberries look puny. If you watch it most of the time, it won't matter if you get SOME pesticide, etc. Just be sure your diet is a clean, detoxifying one. And forget trying to eat anything processed - it's all alfalfa and soy that has been GE or GMO and is not worth eating.
The only reason we can afford to buy organic is that we don't buy boxes or cans of much of anything and no preprocessed meals. Not much junk food... occasionally some organic ice cream or gluten free cookies. Seriously, my daughter left off her list one week: cookies, chips, soda, ice cream, crackers and her bill was $45 less than usual. Then we went to a farmer's market and she spent $25 on a giant bag of produce and a dozen eggs. Her kids were disgusted!!! She blamed me!!!!
Where are you located? I'm on the Cape.

PS TO FIBROMYALGIA PEOPLE: Dr Rothfeld in Plymouth MA is convinced that most FD patients have Lyme disease, whether their tests are positive or not!! I only know one of the patients who came in with FD and he diagnosed LD... she was on antibiotics for 6 mos and she's been on herbals for 4 more months and can now walk (she was in a wheelchair) and never has a sick day anymore... just maybe a sick hour or two. Almost always pain-free. Interesting!
