I have the same candida issue and am studying my options. I have read a lot about Dr. D's 80-10-10 and was even doing it for some time. I think at that time I really didn't have any candida issues...

I did eat my placenta, raw and right after the birth. It felt right. I don't know if it changed anything, but I know I didn't have any postpartum depression which I had a little bit after my previous...

Our older daughter was almost exclusively breastfed until about 1 year old. Our naturepath had told me that babies should not have solid food until they have teeth to chew it. Made so much sense to...

I want to do it. What is the challenge? Just eating 100% raw for 1 month? Not that that isn't enough challenge ... My baby is now 5 months old and I definitely need to get back on track, get more...

i think she has gone too far with this. i felt very judged when i read this for feeding my then 2yo raw food without adding super foods or animal product. my daughter was raw for 3 years, and was and...

Oh, and I am back to almost 100% raw food! It feels soooooo good.....

Hi Azaria - thanks for checking in. Our daughter Sofia was born on August 22. The GBS was no problem at all, the problem was that she was 10 days late and over 8pd., and came out with her hand next...

I know. What my previous midwife used to do, though, was to tell me a month or week in advance what tests she was planning on, and why we should do them. I guess my midwife now just assumed I would...

Thanks, Azaria, for so much great information. I think I will do some garlic treatment and GSE for the next weeks.

I am actually a little disappointed with my midwife for making me take that...

Just remembered: I also read somewhere that if there is prolonged rupture of membranes or the mom runs a fever, antibiotics are given. Otherwise, they just do a simple blood test on the baby to...

Thanks everybody for your replies. I wasn't sure what she was going to give me and wanted to be informed in advance. She actually gave me some lactobacillus suppositories which is basically like...

I am 36 weeks pregnant and got a positive Group B Strep test result. My midwife here wants to give me some homeopathic medicine to get rid of it, but if not, talks about giving antibiotics to the...

Thanks, she is mine too!!!!

Thanks. Greens is a hard one, most of them don't sound good right now, so I have lots of green juice instead of plain greens or green smoothies. That should be good for nutrition, right? Maybe I...

Do I need more calcium? Any suggestions as to what food I could include in my diet? I haven't been able to stay a 100% raw at all times, but was doing very good again from my 2nd trimester on....

I agree with Kristi. Do what feels good at this moment, and don't let the raw food diet rule your life. I personally think being pregnant and raw is extremely hard. I have been raw on and off for...

Thanks guys.

@Rawcstacy: Not the CIA forced him, his parents did. I guess that wasn't clear from my post....

Allow me a question, even though unrelated: Why are you raw foodists so judgmental...

Thanks for all the advice, really appreciate it.

@Rawcstacy: Had it been that easy, I would have gone that way. She was raw for the first 3 years, and all we created was an obsession about all...

I have searched old threads but haven't found any information. I'm at a loss here, and need ideas from you guys that have kids! My daughter is 4 years old and had perfect teeth until recently. We...

I forgot, there is another awesome book about diet: The China Study. Not totally about raw food, but the low fat diet aspect.

I have to agree with Jammer. Going on a low fat raw diet about a year ago made a HUGE difference for me. I have been raw for a little over 4 years. I was never into all these sophisticated raw...

I agree with Mary Kay in that too much calcium might lead to deficiency, also too much protein seems to be bad.

But I also think most dental products are actually harmful to our teeth. I had...

There is DHA in flax oil, which is why I am adding it to our lunch smoothies.

Cabbage would not work for me. Also, any kind of fruit needs to be very ripe, especially bananas. If I don't eat bananas very ripe, I get constipated immediately. By very ripe, I mean black and...

In my humble opinion, too much stress is much worse than any junk food - not that junk food is good, but I believe there is much more to a healthy and balanced human being than a perfect diet, there...
