Hello,
I will be in Chicago later this month for a mental health conference and was hoping some locals might be able to point me in the right direction for any markets and/or restaurants geared...

Pavel Tsatsouline is the king of Kettlebells. He has several books and DVD's on the subject. Go to dragondoor.com for more info.

Sounds like you are going in the right direction. Something I learned recently is that it isn't eating fruits that are typically a problem, it is when you consume fruits and lots of fatty foods. I...

Horsetail (an herb) is supposed to help teeth and bones. There is another herb that is supposed to help but I do not remember off the top of my head what it is. Typically, it is recommended as a...

Migraines are often caused by dehydration. Try increasing your water intake and add a pinch of sea salt per litre of water. Stay away from dehydrating drinks like alcohol, pop and anything with...

If you are taking in a lot of salt you will want to increase your water intake in order to flush it out. I highly recommend replacing your regular salt with a good quality sea salt. This will...

There is no need to heat your water unless you are making teas and such. I would definitely use glass or ceramic containers to minimize contaminants leaching into the water. You could always place...

M.R.F.,

Just get out there and run. I have been approximately 75 - 80% raw for 1 year and my ex-boss got me back into running by talking me into doing a 5k race last year at one of the local...

Arcturus,

Check out juicefeasting.com. Also, regarding the salad dressings. If you have them in your area, try pomegranate seeds instead. They just came out at my local store in the last month...

Adelai,

Increasing your water intake may not help if you are not getting enough salt (not table salt but sea salt, rock salt, etc). Your brain is floating in saline/salt water. You need to...

How many of you warm your formula/milk in the microwave vs some other means? A little background info here. My wife and I have temporary custody of our two grandchildren. I am raw and my wife is...

I second that.

What if you took a foil potato/or other chip bag, washed it out and cut it open to form a flat sheet (assuming someone in your household in not raw)? You could use this to dry your fruit roll-ups...

I encourage everyone to read any of Dr. Batmanghelidj's (sp) books on water. He also has a website called watercure.com. He highly recommends using salt (earth salts not table salts) in the diet,...

For example, irradiated strawberries stay unspoiled

BLECH!!!!! Who wants to eat three week old strawberries?! That's...

Go to youtube.com and do a search for nettles and David Wolfe. He has at least to videos on nettles that I know of and mentions how to pick/consume them as well as their nutritional value.

I normally have a banana and large salad with kale and/or spinach and a bit of onion and/or radish slices mixed in and a couple of slices of organic flax or multi-grain bread (not raw). I normally...

Chalk up one more Virgo here. When I was younger I remember reading a book on Virgos and it listed the characteristics of Virgos. I think just about everyone of them nailed me to a tee.

I am also an avid cyclist (recumbent). After reading Dr Batmanghelidj's books on how water affects the body, especially with the inclusion of sea salt, I started adding a pinch of sea salt and...

Marin Mom,

I have the same problem: 5'9" 135 lbs. Everything I have read on rawbies gaining weight involves lifting heavy weights in short reps. That means using enough weight that you can only...

I just made a HUGE batch of kale chips using a recipe I found on giveittomeraw.com. They were awesome. I took some to work and everyone who tried them loved them. Just go to the recipe link and it...

Thank you for the info. I found a killer Kale Chip recipe on there yesterday and made a batch. Acually, I am munching on some during my lunch break right now and they are great! I have...

Clare,
Is the numbness a potential indicator of a B12 deficiency? I am afraid B12 is an area that I am not overly knowledgable in and I have noticed an area on my lower left thigh that tends to be...
