Yes, I find dates too potent and it's rare that I eat them. Plus, you want to watch the sugars in the dried fruits (unless you were eating fresh dates??).

You asked about calories in your previous...

Well, it's good to hear of someone who's trying to treat their thyroid naturally and with 8-1-1.

I have thyroid disease and I don't use medication. I'm also trying to follow the 8-1-1.
I don't...

I've also had the fibromyalgia so bad that I could barely walk. I had little help from medical resources.

What pulled me out of it was having Myers Cocktail Injections (high doses of mineral and...

Isn't it strange how you tastes and smells change?.

I've noticed it with several things. I think most startling to me was tasting butter again. I haven't had butter for ages - but did so recently....

I think one thing she misses is how the adrenals are connected to the thyroid. And your thyroid is what controls your body temperature.

I have a thyroid disease and I'm hypo-adrenal. I get cold...

I don't use honey as I don't want to use any sugars (stimulants). But I don't have a position on honey one way or another.
But I do remember something last year about concerns on the level of...

I think it's because complaining about illness (and wanting medication to cure it) is such the 'norm' these days. If I travel on the bus and overhear conversations, it's likely about people...

Hi Yonem:
I've been following the 8/1/1 for a bit. It's the best eating plan that I've found for myself. I've also seen Doug Graham speak and one thing he talks about is that you have to be healthy...

Great article...hopefully it catches on.

I ended up in the IHOP recently for a business lunch (not my choice of venue). Nothing on the menu to eat. Their salad was made with iceberg lettuce - no thanks. Then I saw the fruit bowl on the...

No, I haven't tried soaking them. I just have this image of soggy seeds...yuck! Do they go soggy? Does it change the taste?

I had problems with sunflower seeds in particular. Never had problems before going raw. I tried some raw sunflower seeds on my salad and I was doubled over with stomach pain. The next day I realized...

I was just reading my newsletter from EarthSave - but it's a local newsletter, so I doubt it's on line.

If you google "vegan wine" you'll come up with a lot of sites that talk about it.

I think it would be hard for anyone to give a definate answer regarding whether a juice fast would cause harm or not. I have read in some fasting forums of people (women) who claim their thyroid...

I'm not a big wine drinker but I was just reading recently that most wine is made with animal products.

Have you ever asked for vegan wine?. I was just curious how available it was.

Hmmm....lotsa broccoli bashing and now cabbage??! I happen to like raw broccoli and cabbage. I wonder what's wrong with me? :-)

I was thinking along Getta's point - the cruciferous vegetables are...

Yes, I've read this - that eating too many, too fast, causes some kind of stroke. But my understanding you'd have to eat a lot. I don't know how anyone could - I find it so rich that I can barely eat...

I also have a thyroid disease (Hashimoto's) and I know how easily the weight goes on!

Here's some links for Doctors - these are doctor's that are Armour friendly (!):...

Yes, it's an issue here too.

There was something on TV recently about this, where they examined a school with behaviourally challenged students who were given fresher food (gasp! salad!) and the...

I ditto everything rawmom said!.

My reflux acted up the first few weeks of raw too - but like rawmom, I just realized one day that it wasn't bothering me.

At this time I eat mostly fruit. I eat...

That's great inspiration Sue!

What kind of support do your get to stay raw? I'm just curious.

Hi Wrecked Spark - I sent you a private message regarding the hives (just because it was off topic...).

Shay - Yahooo! No coffee!! Your doing it!.

I can't imagine not liking any fruit. My big issue is getting them ripe enough to enjoy eating them.
I laughed at the Durian remark - don't be discouraged by their initial awful smell!!. That's...

Health issue for me. Of all the health problems I have had, the one that was driving me around the bend was non-stop hives and intense itching. I've tried everything to get rid of the problem. What...

Yes! I just use one section of the super sized food store (veggies and fruit) and I marvel how the bulk of the store (95%) is just junk!. Don't think I ever noticed that before going raw. What a...
