Lisa, I have serious problems with Fibro and CFS myself. Raw has really helped a lot!! I also had to try guai, don't know if it will be successful yet or not. Possibly just raw would have...

Hey Olive,

Welcome! I lost 20 lbs. right away (that leaves me with about 40 or 50 to go. At first, I did eat as much as I wanted, and then later I cut back on the fats. Like you though, no...

Amen to that, Rawkin'! :D

Lil,

So far, Rife seems to work much better and without losing good bacteria. I'll keep you posted. Now that I've quit trying to go so fast, the die off is better, and I'm feeling much improved....

I haven't used Champion for wheatgrass, but have used it for a lot of greens, which I push through with something else (like carrot or apple). I think it would work like that for wheatgrass, but...

Hi all,

Thought I'd weigh in here with some comments. I don't have any answers, and I think Alissa is absolutely right-all raw is best!!! I just wanted to add some things, maybe Alissa has some...

Poor Kirk - you'll be sorry you told us! :D

Kathy

Hey Kirk,

I wondered about you, too. I'm glad you're okay, & hope you come up with coping strategies. Somehow I bet you will - you seem pretty determined. I don't suffer from a lack of support,...

welcome, Veganmama! :)

Hey Kristi:

Glad you're feeling better! You're definitely not the only one with cravings, lately. I too have given in late at night, and I'm now convinced that the only way to beat cravings is...

Analeah,

I think whole oat groats will sprout if not too old, and if not treated with anything (organic). Good luck - let us know. I've not tried it yet.

Kathy

Thanks, CC! :)

Wow, Thunderdancer, I think I remember that one, and it's as powerful as it was when I was in my teens. Thanks for reminding me!

Kathy

Can someone explain Bikram to me? (More in depth.) Sorry to be ignorant, but the only yoga I remember wouldn't make you sweat. This is aerobic? Better than running/easier on joints? It sounds...

Someone asked if sprouted grains had gluten, was it you, Thunder? Anyway, I believe that if you use the entire sprout, and not just the grass, you are getting gluten.

Hope that helps.

Kathy

Curtis,

Usually if you bought them organic, they will sprout. Organic seeds/grains are usually not treated in any way that would prevent sprouting. If they were too old they might not sprout,...

Thanks, Jeanne. Always good to kjnow about new products! :)

Hey NWgal,

Do you have a vita-mixer or power blender? You can fix soups in it and they get to a perfect eating temp just from blending. Alissa's Broccoli Cream soup is great.

Keep it up, Doma. It sounds like your body is giving up toxins already!

Thunderdancer, what are chooks? I had to ask, sorry. :o

Kathy

Hi Curtis,

This site and AlissaCohen.com are my favorites, but I've also lurked around rawguru.com, and living-foods.com. I just did searches a lot. I like to read, too!

Kathy

Welcome, Flutterfly! Curtis, there is a food combining chart in Alissa's book. Good luck to you both!

Kathy

In answer to Curtis question, I can only say that I came off a cleanse, went raw, and a week later had a healing crisis in which I couldn't get out of bed. Really sick and dizzy. This is after a...

Surely we're good for more than 120! You think?

Kathy :D

Hi Kristi,

I just stopped taking Effexor, and I kind of know how you feel, at least as much as another can. I started taking it because it's supposed to increase energy in those with CFS. I...

Hey, thanks to both of you, and amyone else who wants to put in their two cents worth, (or more). I think I'm doing all that I can to reduce acidity. No meds, take tons of probiotic, etc. Have...
