I'm moving to Reno in December and I was wondering if anyone had any information on potlucks, etc.. Thanks :)

I made some up today to help keep the red buggies off of my Yucca and to help with my sick tree. How many times do I need to 'apply' it??? Once a day, twice a week, reapply after it rains, just...

Kale does contain oxalic acid, but it is not considered a 'high' oxalic acid food like spinach, for example. The lower the oxalic acid content the less calcium will bind with it (oxalic acid will...

You didn't say where in TX you are, but here's info in relation to Dallas. I also know that there are active raw food potlucks in Denton and Plano and I'm sure in Dallas somewhere too. Just look up...

I'm going to be visiting my sister and mother this weekend in the Dallas area (Carrollton to be specific). I would like to get some young cocos for them to try (and of course for me to eat too:)). ...

Hey Wendy-
I'm not trying to say that veg or vegan is bad at all, each to their own, it's their pets and that is totally their decision. I was just sharing with the other BARFers that raw pork...

It's almost impossible to get trichomonas from uncooked domestic/factory farmed pork. The incidence of infection in 1995 was .013% (in the actual meat of the animal). Pig farmers have developed new...

I loooooooove papaya! I cut it in half (I usually eat the huge maradol ones that weigh at least 10 lbs), remove the seeds (some people eat them, they are very peppery and 'green' tasting), squeeze...

Have you tried juicing or blending?? Juicing especially there is less fiber, which would cause less of a 'full' feeling' and is easier to digest. Blending would make your food a bit 'pre-chewed' so...

Just type in the food in question and you get a whole nutritional analysis. Just make sure it's labeled 'raw'. I really like this site because they have...

Many people find that after being raw for a while their tolerance for fatty foods (nuts, oil, avos, etc.) decreases. That being said, if his bloated periods happen after consuming fats, then that is...

Will you explain why the metal lids shouldn't be reused???

Most plants that are high in oxalic acid are also high in the minerals it binds with (magnesium, calcium, iron, potassium). I seriously doubt that plants high in oxalic acid will 'rob' your bones of...

When I didn't have a coffee grinder I used a mortar and pestle to grind everything (but it takes a lot of work!). A food processor probably won't do the job because the seeds are so small. You...

Raw Truth has it right. Ripening avos give off a gas called ethylene, like Raw truth stated, the paper bag traps it and voila, ripe avos really fast :) Banana's give off the same gas and that's...

If the tourniquet was left on your arm longer than 'normal', this can cause a false elevation in potassium levels (1-2 mEq/L). Also too vigorous 'fist clenching' can yield the same result. It can...

The best way to ripen avocados is to place them in a paper bag. I usually buy really green avocados because I know that the likelyhood of the fruit being bruised is very small (because they are...

Stress reduction and exercise both help reduce common hormones and chemicals in our bodies that cause 'trouble'. But even if we do these things we need the right building blocks from our diet to...

I was skimming last night and didn't realize you said that you USE insteads lol. I was being called off the computer at the same time I was writing the post, that's why it was a bit curt. I'm sorry...

How about more greens? Make a big salad out of a head (or two!) of your favorite type of lettuce (or a bag of prewashed stuff) or make a big bowl of coleslaw. A big salad always works for me.

Instead is not the same as the Diva Cup, Moon Cup, or the Keeper. Insteads are disposable rings with plastic stretched across that creates a sort of 'pocket' to catch the blood (I...
