No tips, sorry. But best wishes on your surgery! Hope your recovery is swift!

Thank you Rawknitster and Sport for all the information!

I didn't know that there was more to the total than just the LDL and the HDL. My appointment is tomorrow. I guess at 59, it wouldn't hurt...

Hi Rawknitster.

I made an appointment to find out about HDL/LDL and triglycerides. I'm hoping that the 190 comes from a high HDL. Otherwise, 190 seems high to me, considering so many years...

Hi Sport,
I don't have any arthritis, but I think some connection with inflammation is possible. I'm very food-sensitive and get swollen eyes, itchy skin, feel bad just from eating too many raw...

I've been 100% vegan and close to 100% raw for over 2 decades.

Imagine my surprise when I was screened for serum (total) cholesterol and it was 190! That seems very high to me. It's higher than...

I'm fasting today. I try to do it once a week (water only).

Today will be hard because I have to do errands downtown. I usually try to avoid that on fasting days, but couldn't be helped. ...

I think next time I order Brazil nuts, it might be from this company:

Thanks for the tip walnutty!

I checked sunfood, but they no longer have brazil nuts in the shell (darn). They do have the Blue Mountain sprouted brazils. I ended up going over to Blue Mountain...

Hi walnutty,:)

On the cashews: Cashews grow where I live. It's common knowledge that the cashew "nuts" cannot be eaten without first undergoing a complicated process to separate the nuts from...

Yes, you're right neurosport.

The video is very disturbing. All of us are so fortunate. I think the "oil" in the cookies is lard. Terrible that people have to eat these to survive.

You're welcome, pretty lady!

I like to eat a small quantity of sprouted grains. Kamut is a variety of wheat, but larger, less hybridized, less gluten, very satisfying, and it's only available organic. Once or twice a week, I...

Shels, I agree with 7kindsofcookie. For saving money, one option is to focus more on buying seeds than nuts. Whole sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds are full of many of the same...

Most health food stores will allow their customers to do a "special order" from the supplier's catalog. I usually get all my sunflower and sesame seeds that way in 5-pound bulk batches ordered from...

I eat fruit for breakfast, and usually other meals and snacks too, sometimes including an avocado, sometimes not. I usually have up to a 1/2 cup nuts or seeds once or twice a day.

For some...

I like to chop up the eggplant, skin and all, then mash it in a sirubachi and add it to chopped tomatoes, chopped peeled cucumber, chopped bell pepper, diced garlic, a small amount of chopped...

Thanks Aleesha for this thread. :) I'm too busy for a long water fast, but maybe a couple of days of water fast and then coconut water and/or lemon water for a week or so.

Fasting so far today. ...

To Holli,

I like nuts and seeds a lot and think they're a wonderful and nutritious food. Additionally, soaked and/or sprouted grains and legumes are dense and nutrion-packed, and have been...

During/after menopause, my weight started to creep up, even though I was eating only raw vegan foods and doing yoga 4-5 hours /week. I wasn't extremely overweight, but the extra weight was...

Hi sport!

Thanks for your greeting! I think I don't deserve all the good fortune that's come my way, but I hope to give some of it back here and there. :) Love your picture!

I avoid raw nut butters, but love eating a moderate amount of nuts and seeds.

I eat some raw hemp oil, mainly because I like the taste.

I don't use tamari or Bragg's. I've never tasted...

Hello everyone.

I'm 59, a raw food vegan for 23 years, but still enjoying new information about luscious health-giving raw vegan foods!

I love fruit, live in Hawaii, and grow a variety of...
