I always thought orthorexia was silly too, until I became good friends with a girl who has it. It is absolutely something that exists, though I believe it is more a subset of anorexia than a separate...

I do think that the raw food "movement" can contribute to someone developing an ED. My experience was mixed. I ate 100% raw for a year and a half, and about six months into I started to get really...

Hey MysticTree!

There isn't one food or supplement that is a cure all to balancing the menstrual cycle. Eating raw over time will get you back on track though. The key word is over TIME. I know...

I feel like a pro with this....

- eat as little as possible. If i fast during the day and drink a lot of water, my cramps usually cease

- CRAMP BARK - it's a miracle worker

- Raspberry leaf...

I have had the exact same thing happening to me on and off for months.

I wish I knew exactly what the cause is. Possibly detox? Maybe a parasite?

Stress can also majorly cause bloating.
...

Yes I experienced this on and off for my first few months raw.

Hey Dream :)

Have you ever read Gabriel Cousen's "Depression Free for Life?" I think there are guidelines in there for a nutritional approach to depression.

Also, how much sun and exercise do...

Ooooh Beppa, I feel for you! I used to get the most horrible vertigo spells, they would last all day and I couldn't read, sleep, watch TV... it all made it worse, so I would just lay there.

My thoughts on this....

The #1 goal with healing the teeth is MINERALIZING the body. That includes so much of what you are NOT eating, as well as what you are. If I were eating a high mineral diet...

Hey Samariah,

How long have you been raw?

It's hard to say without know what you're eating. Overall, the skin reflects what's occuring in our bodies so it very well could be detox. Perhaps...

mmm I looove olives!

To be sure yours are raw, you can get them from alissa, david wolfe (sunfood.com), and many other raw sellers.

I liked DW's sun-tried peruvian olives. They're unsalted,...

You could also make green smoothies with less-sweet fruits. That's always how I make mine. If I want a sweet green smoothie, I use apples (granny smith or something sweeter), greens, flax, maca,...

My understanding MSM is not a while food just like Vitamin C and calcium aren't whole foods. You can find MSM in whole foods such are garlic, radishes, and onions. The thing is, the soil isn't what...
