• Hi Heather, you might also consider a Norwalk juicer. They have been known for years as the best juicer in the world, although they aren’t really discussed in raw food circles. That is most likely due to the price. It is a very heavy duty, masticati…

• JoyceH – The white mountains are really beautiful. They have that classic east coast mountain feel. My sister and I are working on the 4000 footers – we’re more than half way done! Yeah! The picture is of Spot, one of several strays we have taken in…

• New Hampshire – where we have the great White Mountains but we no longer have the old man on the mountain. (If you don’t know who the old man is, look at a NH quarter!)

• Hi Dnacol and everyone – an easy way to find an ND is to go to the national website www.naturopathic.org and look for an ND in your area under the “find an ND” section. This site represents ND’s who have graduated from a 4 year doctoral program and …

• Renoir – How does the parchment paper work out in the dehydrator? Its a great idea but I haven’t tried it yet. As far as the plastic in Nalgene bottles, it too leaches plastic into the liquid inside the container, more so when the liquids are hot or…

• Just had another thought, slightly off topic but along the same lines…It is very difficult to decrease toxins in our environment and here we are, eating raw food, some or all organic, recycling and doing what we can for the planet, but we have the s…

• I have a friend that uses glass Perrier bottles for her water. She keeps a milk crate in the trunk of her car to store the full ones in so they don’t roll all over the floor of the car. A good option as long as you aren’t clumsy and drop the bottles…

• Hi Stylistchick, You may consider doing this type of fast under the supervision of a naturopathic doctor in your area. They are very like minded people and should be very supportive in your endeavor. Check out the website www.naturopathic.org for a …

• I’m with you Al, bleach is definitely a carcinogen! Yikes!! Just goes to prove that just because it’s in writing, doesn’t make it true.

• Has anyone ever had sprouted beans go right through them? (not in an ethereal kind of way). I have prepared 2 bean dishes recently and the beans sprouted very well. When they had 1 inch tails I blended them up with the rest of the recipe ingredients…

• Hi Omshanti, Amino acids are linked with peptide bonds to form proteins. Sooo, tell hubby that any food source of protein is a food source of amino acids. And that’s not just “male answer syndrome”!!

• For daily routine, I alternate 1/2 the week of lymphatic brushing because it helps with the detox and the other 1/2 of the week with castor oil packs to the abdomen for 1 hr. Toothpastes that I use are Weleda Plant Tooth Gel. It’s kind of strong tas…

• There are a lot of good websites out there that discuss the pros and cons of vaccination. www.vaclib.org is a place to start for exemption forms and www.vaccinetruth.org has a lot of good info too. If you are forced to get the vaccines, you might co…

• Hi All – this is one wild topic! I’m really not sure if we’re supposed to drop name brands here but I’ll risk it. I did a lot of research on shampoo and I found that Paul Penders makes a nice natural line with a lot of herbs and good stuff. It washe…

• Hi all, This is my first posting since I joined and I am in the process of becoming raw. I can relate to these questions since my biggest lifelong dietary problem has been sugar/chocolate cravings. That is what really keeps me from being 100% raw an…

• Savrah – Generally speaking, most of the physician supplement lines that naturopathic doctors carry will have quality probiotics. If the product does not state how it should be stored, it should be kept in the freezer for best results, the refrigera…

• OK, so I’m a doc and I eat raw food. Do I qualify?? I’ll try to take a stab at this. You all seem to be on the right track. It does take a while for the gastrointestinal tract to get used to a new way of eating. Also, if one is transitioning from a …

• Is a KTEC the same as a Blendtec? They look the same with the LED display. I can’t decide between the Blendtec (KTEC?) and the VitaMix. I’ve seen bad reviews on the VitaMix regarding overheating but I’ve seen a lot of raves for it too. Hmmmm, can’t …
