Another way to speed up detox is make sure your eliminations are frequent. You can help it along with herbals, or eat certain fruits like papaya, prunes or watermelon. They are very good for moving...

I am another person that raw has cured KP of. I had it my whole life and I am 39 now. I have been high raw for almost 5 years. I've noticed when I let any dairy or grains (wheat,etc.) past my...

I have had the same experience. Also, it makes my joints ache. Anyone else had that problem?

Actually Buckwheat is a fruit, and not a grain. :) Buckwheat shouldn't cause any bloating problems, but like the above posters said, if you are eating too much of any one thing energy wise, it can...

Hi Rawstrength,

What type of raw fats are you eating? Coconut oil helps warm the body as do seasonal nuts. What ever grows in your neck of the woods is usually what works best. I have a huge...

Regarding grains, the reason I avoid them is because of the gluten and anti-nutrients. There are some gluten free grains, like rice and corn. I've heard that sprouting uses up the gluten, but I am...

Raw To Live,

I am so sorry to hear about your pain! I was diagnosed with endo as well in my early twenties. They wanted to do the laproscopic on me as well, but I never went that far. I just...

I second the juice fasting. I have hypoglycemic problems as well. Getting better, but not completely gone. What helps me is taking evoo or evco during a fast. It keeps your blood sugar level. I...

How do you get it to disolve? It's pretty grainy. Should I put it in my coffee grinder and make it more powdery?

Hello all,

I bought some Carob powder from Alissa a while back but haven't been using it because I can't get it to disolve. I have been reading all these recipes about raw chocolate and they...

I would try adding some extra virgin olive oil to your smoothies to see if that helps. Also, I like to eat a banana with coconut oil spread on it. Sometimes I keep a seperate container of coconut...

Hi Michelle,

What is your diet like? Are you eating enough? Including enough sugars and fats? If you are eating sugars and not enough fats, it can cause your blood sugar to be low which in...

I tried it a few times but I had some strange side effects. It made my joints, especially my elbows ache! At first I thought it was just me, but my joints never hurt. I eliminated it and decided...

They had them five for a dollar Friday here in OK. I've never seen them that low! Made a huge bowl of guac for dinner that night!

From experience here, I USED to have it too. Raw cured mine. The main thing you want to make sure of is:

1. Are your nuts truly raw? If not, buy some shelled and shell them yourself. ...

I love roobios! I drink it every day in the Yogi brand tea, chai blend. It really helps my skin. I used to have rosacea really bad before raw. If my skin acts up, which it does every once in a...

I have had the same experience with raw and the sun. When I am 100%, I don't get a burn what so ever. I can be out in the sun for hours and barely get any color what so ever. I have to be 100% or...

Keratosis Pilaris. Do you get them on your arms and legs? I'm not 100% raw all the time as I do eat steamed veggies every once in a while, but they only completely went away when I stopped eating...

No, I don't think it's strange at all! Our bodies definitely are affected by what and when we eat. Different foods produce different hormonal and chemical influences. This is from a web-site that...

I have been taking it off and on for a while. I'm not big into supplementing, but since it's in an ionic form which is how we derive it from raw foods and also a natural source, it seems a little...
