I simply do not agree! Herbs are concentrated plants. It's like saying that if we don't eat, then we will heal ourselves because digestion slows healing, which it does. We should, by that logic,...

The fruit diet is an almost all sugar diet! Not a good choice except for a fast! hang in there.

Removal of the cause might be the answer, but I keep asking myself what the people on this board have against the use of herbals to expedite healing? Herbs are plant foods that have been dried, and...

Way! My friend is married to a Chinese man and the crap they eat! Blechh! Rice, rice, rice. It's the white crap with junk on it diet. :eek:

Spider veins are just smaller varicose veins. The vein loses elasticity and becomes enlarged.

The herbs really are helpful. I mean, even on a raw diet, I think it might be good to continue...

Jicama? What a great idea. Do you use a ricer?

Thanks again! :)

VFL: Actually, I've moved. I'm living in California, on the Monterey Peninsula. The move is one of the reasons I've been derailed, as was a new job with free food when I was still living in B-more....

Wow! Thanks! I really need the support right now. I'm at my wits' end with my continual breaking down. I can do this! yeah! And thanks for the green smoothie reminder. They really do help.

Totally! When I was 90% raw last year, I found that the veins got a lot smaller and stopped hurting after only a few weeks. I stopped taking the herbal supplements I'd been using because I just did...

Has anyone tried an extremely low-glycemic diet? Pasta is one of the things I need to avoid. I think the reason my hair is all gray is because I've been addicted to sugar since I was a little girl....

Hi y'all. I've been gone a long time - so many changes in my life. You know what got me thinking about coming back? I got a birthday email from Alissa's website in October and I thought, Wow, she...

Shivananda and everyone: I don't mean to guy-bash and I'm sorry if it seems this way. I'm expressing something I probably SHOULD express to only women. I've been running into a lot of patronizing,...

Again, everyone, thanks for the helpful words... and ladies... How did you ever survive the car dealerships without going postal?! It sounds awful...

I agree that I made the choice but many of...

Greeninlosangeles, so many things affect bone density. Exercise, for example. Building muscle builds bone.

Tahini and parsley are loaded with calcium but keep in mind that good overall mineral...

"I personally love to see a post about someone struggling and asking for help because that helps so many. And the posts about the emotional aspects of eating raw and the struggles and obstacles that...

I have an avocado question also. David Wolfe loves them so much he uses Avocado as a stage name. I know they're good for women - lots of folic acid - but is there some magical quality of...

Sport and Misslinda, I appreciate both of your responses very much.

I don't really feel like trying to describe the episode. It was just one of those encounters in which I felt invalidated and...

yay! thanks! We need the lymph to flow...

Fell off the wagon today. I didn't eat any starches but I ate some soup and some other things... We have free catered food at work and I just have not been able to feel full on the raw food. Hungry...

Dumb question: why is rebounding so popular with raw foodists? Why is it so good? Thanks!

My cats like this weird clump of ornamental grass in my neigbor's yard... it might be bluegrass. and they like the wild variety of grass, the kind that grows in my yard.

Not into grass myself. ...

JoJo... did you really call them and ask them to lower the shipping costs? Their shipping is hideously high. Sometimes it's like 20 bucks for a couple of small things. Maybe I should try that....

I'd be curious about this. I eat a lot of sauerkraut and kim chee. I know they are high in B-vitamins in general as is Rejuvelac (I can't make or drink that stuff, though) but is B-12 one of them?...

Vinegar is so varied in quality. The Braggs brand is really good - "Vinager with the Mother" - unfiltered. It's full of enzymes and all kinds of nice friendly bacteria.
