Good luck, Folk-love, I don't think that anyone's goal was to discourage you, but to let you know you're doing it hard mode haha. I agree with our consumption of toxins being too high which is why I also stopped buying chemical cleaners long ago - shampoo, laundry soap, all-purpose cleaners, etc etc. I use alternatives for everything, mostly a combination of baking soda and vinegar. For laundry soap, I use "soap nuts". For dish soap I use a coconut derived soap. This is just another way to lower your chemical intake, because our skin absorbs everything that touches it, too. I'm extremely sensitive, now, to anything perfumed, which is tough. When other people walk by me I can distinctly smell their shampoo/laundry soap/perfume/makeup, always.
But, to be fair, Ra says the mind must be known before balancing in the body can begin. However, you seem to be knowing your mind more and more so this is probably why balancing the body seems to important, now. Ra says any change in diet is symbolic, so as long as you integrate your "purity" of consumption into the mind, all will be well. Just don't be too hard on yourself if you need to "slip" at first, is my advice.
