32 years old and started raw when I was in my late 20's. About 40% raw right now.

VITAMIN D. It works.

My 11 year daughter has been doing the no-poo for about half a year now, and she has curly hair. She does conditioner it though. That might help the firzz- I'm not sure. Good luck! No-poo definitely...

If your mom can go low-oxalate raw, then a raw diet shouldn't cause problems. The typical raw diet is VERY high in oxalates. A raw diet is very cleansing which could be good for kidney stones as long...

BUMP!

Birthday time again!

I have the oxalate cookbook and some foods are actually higher in oxalates when they are cooked versus raw. But a high raw food diet includes many very high oxalate foods such as greens (spinach,...

I like what Climbing said. Just add more raw.

When I was high raw I suffered from oxalate issues and teeth problems. But as for sleep, that was much better and my energy was through the roof. I...

Here are my supplements right now:

I like Badgers oil with sea buckthorn, rosehip and olive oil. It's great stuff and I use it on my face. Garden of Wisdom also makes some nice natural products.

Steven - thank you so much for posting this. I shared it with my sister and she is now a convert. Gary spoke to her in a way that no one else has been able.

I guess most people are either not getting enough vitamin D from sun and food, and/or the body doesn't absorb it well for various reasons. I have decided not to take the 50,000 iu of D from the...

just got blood test results and everything is fine except for vitamin D. I am very low at 13. One should have 30. They put me on 50,000 IU's once a week for 6 wks.
I'm surprised i'm low because I...

I know gluten grains and wheat have been shown to be damaging, but what about grains such as quinoa, amaranth, millet and buckwheat (technically not a grain I think)? These seem so healthy when they...

sorry about your friends sister. I think this thread is a great reminder to not give up hope AND that nature provides an antidote for all diseases and disorders. Isn't nature beautiful!?

Do you take B12? Not saying you lack this at all or your eye twitching is from a deficiency, but eye twitching is a common symptom of low B12, so I thought I'd bring that up. Hope all goes better...

The way I did it was I bought a box of apricots and then I cut off the fruit and froze it all, put the pits in the freezer in a tupperware too. When I want one I crack the pit, soak the nut overnight...

I went in and had my blood drawn. They are checking liver, bladder, vitamin D and thyroid. I should get results soon and will post it here. Thanks again for the replies.

The doctor thinks it may...

Thank you both very much. i've been searching the internet trying to find out what it could mean and it's difficult to pinpoint exactly. I'm not sure if it's serious or not. I did investigate...

Sore throat
Pale mucousy stools (sorry)
Extreme thirst
Frequent urination
Slight weight loss

Cool, thanks for the tip! I'll have to do a little of each..the greens may have less enzymes, but certainly aren't lacking in nutrients!

Thanks! I'm going to grow some then *excited* I haven't ever read about them before which is weird. I guess technically they would be called pumpkin seed greens.
I want them to grow relatively big...

Hi raw friends :)

I have a pumpkin and was wondering if I could take the raw unhulled (with shell) seeds, plant them in soil until they sprout and then eat them?
I've never heard of this before...

I love this book too! Great information.

Apples and tomatoes contain all the essential amino acids? That's the first I've heard of that.

Sprouted lentils are a great protein source. Supposedly,...

The dog was with me.
