I have just considered adding nopales (flesh of prickly pear) to my diet. I haven’t found much information on this but have a feeling it is very healthy and nutritious, similar to aloe vera. I favor vata dosha foods to help improve digestion. Do you know what dosha it would benefit?
Also, Andreas, what is the correlation between toxicity symptoms and what people in New Age circles term 'Ascension symptoms'? Some people attribute them to 'ascension' however after learning more about health and toxicity, I see this could be explained as toxicity, altho something has triggered them. Some of the conditions may improve after the person is through 'transition' but not completely be resolved on their own. For an example, one person may have changed their diet to vegan years ago but still experience digestive upsets and mild illness, especially during significant astrological occurences.
