I don't care what the manufacturer says--the Vita-Mix is only good for blending things with water (and then it works great!). A food processor will work much better for making nut butters and pates...

To clarify, Suzy, adding the probiotics would make it soft? That would be cool!

Update, in case anyone's interested...;)

I processed some cabbage in my Cuisinart with enough water to end up with some purple (I used red cabbage) juice. I then followed the usual procedure for...

Thanks! At this moment I don't have a juicer, so I may try to ferment just a little bit by using cabbage blended w/water in my Vitamix.

I'm trying to get away from added salt in my diet, so I'd like to be able to ferment veggies w/o it.

I read in Ann Wigmore's book that one can make salt-free sauerkraut by smashing up the cabbage...

I don't have RA, but I saw your post and wanted to share with you this quote from Dr. Joel Fuhrman's book, Eat to Live:

Even many of my patients with autoimmune illnesses (such as lupus,...

Where do I find that recipe? (I have to admit I've no idea who "Gus" is. :confused: )

Beyond that, everybody thanks heaps for the great ideas! Feel free to keep bringin' 'em on! :D

What recipes/foods--other than raw desserts; I know I can come up with a dessert everyone will love--have you served SAD relatives/friends, and they could give you nothing but compliments and kudos...

The ones that are $6/pound are not organic. They provide a lot of hullabaloo about how their almonds are grown almost the same as organic, but they're not.

The ones Drake sells at...

Arky,

Thanks for the response! What you said makes sense; I'll think I'll try it (I was planning to use up the tooth soap anyway). I truly think my plaque problem has more to do with the lousy...

Thanks for replying. I've decided I'll go ahead and try it. At the very least it can't make my dental hygienist say anything worse about the plaque on my teeth than she already does. ;)

Just gonna bump this once, in case...

Anybody use/ever tried it? Experience, please? TIA. :)

(If you've never heard of it--like me, until yesterday--and your curiosity is piqued, go to eatsprouts.com and click on the link "Teeth...

What PP said, and make sure you are firm w/ school nurse and administrators that it is in within your rights not to vaccinate your children as long as you follow state guidelines.

This is common for someone who goes right into a high fruit and vegetable diet from a low one, raw or not. All that fiber is doing a major cleanup that your body has been wanting to do for years! The...

Vaccines compromise the immune system. Change the DNA. Are linked to autism and ADHD--and let's not forget death.

Whenever a disease outbreak occurs, the likelihood of contracting the disease is...

A close friend of mine said the same thing years ago, that somewhere it says "bread is the staff of life," but since then I've read the entire Bible through 6 times and NEVER found that quote.

I'm nursing a 15mo too! :)

From what I've read, juice feasting is consuming juice from 15 pounds of fruits and veggies per day. And the blogger that I'm reading about who is in the middle of a...

Something with few ingredients and easy to prepare so you gain confidence that you can do it. :)

All the pates, if you have the ingredients and a food processor, are a snap to whip up, and...

Amen and amen, Sister! (Guess I'm just gonna have to be a "bad mom" when DS gets older. So I'm not the only one who has thought about keeping kid out of kids' church b/c of the junk they feed 'em?...

I read somewhere that the average American unknowingly consumes several pounds of insects every year.

I know I've accidentally eaten little worms/bugs/eggs b/c I find them every once in a while...

Emily, what a beautiful, marvelous name! The best female name in the English language, right? ;)

Two must-reads for you: Alissa's book, Living on Live Foods, b/c she teaches how freeing and...

OK, Walnutty, here's the recipe. It'll taste a lot better if you use the hulled oat groats (which I know aren't really raw, but whatcha gonna do?).

It's from The UnCookbook by Elizabeth Baker.

I recently read that a woman who buys breastmilk from a milk bank to feed her baby for a year will spend about $30,000! :eek:
