Thanks for posting that! I totally agree, there are stages of slowly getting off the SAD, one's not better than the other, just our bodies letting us know what it wants.

I don't know about removing your fillings, but I'd definitely recommend cleaning out your fridge and making the placement of blenders, ect more user friendly! And set up a good place to put all your...

Starfire, you're so lucky to be able to get your coconuts from the local grower! I've heard from our local health food store that the purple color can mean that the formaldehyde that thai coconuts...

Does anyone here know if a recipe software program exists that would let you plan ahead with sprouting? Say you wanted to make a weeks menu that involved a number of sprouted items and wanted to...

Since going raw I've had a few major bug infestations, particularly fruit flies. Two things that have really helped are 1, an umbrella type bug screen to put over the fruits & veggies I keep on the...

Thanks for the link Justine!

I think Shell is right, if you start now, 100% raw, let the weight loss that's going to happen happen, support the new diet with exercise, maybe detox herbs, then, if and when/if you start to...

If your diet has been primarily junk food, there's a good chance that in the first one to two weeks you could lose 10 to 15 pounds, that's not going to be fat, that's going to be primarily water. ...

I wasn't aware that Gabriel Cousens was marketing a line of B12? I googled "Gabriel Cousens B12" I would think that if he was profiting from it, I would have seen a connection?

Gabriel Cousins wrote a interesting article on B12,

In regards to the colon being a source of B12 he writes:

I'm thinking that if your body is producing excess phlegm it must be trying to get rid of something, or acting like it needs to get rid of something. Have you tried acupuncture? If it's an allergic...

Thanks Jaurequi & Starfire!

I don't think my menus are very special. I start the day with a green smoothie, lunch is usually a salad, veggies that are in season with a side of nut pate, dressing,...

Yeshia, are you still having that problem? I wonder if it would help to do a series of colonics. Our colon should the first organ of detox, if it's overflowing to your skin, maybe help the colon...

Just be careful that they haven't been sprayed. :eek:

Yes, definitely. I wear contact lenses, which can correct my far away vision and as you probably know, the up close vision can start to go as we age.

I am not reaching for my reading glasses...

Since going 100% raw my hair is so much healthier! My scalp doesn't get dirty, I'm not having to wash my hair as frequently, and it's really shiny! Another perk of ditching the coffee, dairy, meat,...

Rainbowgirl, you say that a new oven will run you $120 overseas? Is that an electric convection oven that has a "keep warm" or "proofing" feature? I think the fan (convection) feature is important...

I researched that very thing when I first started going raw. My electric convection oven has a "proofing" setting when works great for dehydrating but when you look at energy consumption, it doesn't...

My sister has MS. She is in a wheelchair. I took her to a well known raw food restaurant where she had a beautiful salad, I was really hoping that she would see how good raw food can taste and...

So "conventional" produce means unorganic, wouldn't that imply that organic would be "unconventional"?

I think it's poor choice of words for a health food store, non-organic would be more to...

Just think, by enjoying the smell you're getting the finest essence of that pizza, w/o having to eat it!

Great post, JenJen! I've always questioned the 1000 mg of calcium that we're supposed to ingest. When have women ever been able to drink that much dairy in our historical past?

That is so great. I know what you mean about organic, sometimes the non-organic vendors have such a great energy that it feels good to buy from them, rather than the grumpy organic guy I sometimes...

I wonder if it would help to put olive oil on the eggplant first?

Veganpunk, email me if you get a chance.

What state do you live in? I've never seen mango at a farmers market (jealous :D )
