• Any favorite recipes? I tried the chimp salad and the Thai cucumber one. Both were excellent.

• I also heard that excess stomach fat could be due to high stress levels causing too much cortisol in your body. Also, it might not be fat but improper food combining or detoxing causing the release of excess gases in your intestines (i.e., bloating)…

• Okay. My major obsession is Lord of the Rings – specifically the Elves. Has anyone read the Silmarillion? Star Wars is a close second though, and Battlestar. Newbie, I was thinking it might be Ellen also. It can’t really be anyone who was on the shi…

• Omega Nutrition sells a product that can be used for washing veggies as well as for body soap. They use orange oil, and it smells nice too! When I do wash my veggies I use this. http://www.omeganutrition.com/

• I’d like to see this happen. It would certainly bring down the price of organic foods and cut the need for fuel. Also, it’s really easy to use dilute seawater as a fertilizer for plants when grown hydroponically. That way food would also be more nut…

• Mon46, I henna my mom’s hair and it covers grey just fine. I use body art quality henna though. Maybe try a strand test, because henna would be better for you than even the natural haircolours out there. Go to a site called hennaforhair. They have a…

• I’d suggest reading up about interval training. A study I’d read once showed that people loose weight much quicker than with endurance training.

• I’ve thought about toothsoap, but heard some people saying that they felt toothsoap was irritating their gums. Then if baking soda scratches and glycerin prevents re-mineralization of the enamel, then what is one to do? Ardesmond2, the ionic toothbr…

• Meditating, how do you find a good dental hygienist?

  in Brushing teeth Comment by Raw_Chocoholic
• I was wondering about the baking soda thing also. I’m realigning my teeth now, so I have to brush them every time I eat. Apparently glycerin prevents the enamel from re-mineralizing. Since glycerin is in every single toothpaste – natural or not, tha…

• Dried or fresh wild nettles are best. They have 3X the iron as spinach and it’s non-heme iron, which means it’s more absorbable. You can probably find the dried stuff in health food stores. Also, try taking it with a source of vit C, like camu camu …

• I found the heat difficult to deal with the first day, but it gets easier very quickly. One of my instructors said that it actually helps rehydrate your body – provided you drink enough water. I’d say just go and try it out for a week and see if it …

  in EJUVA Intestional Cleanse- Has anyone undergone?? Comment by Raw_Chocoholic
• Haven’t tried Ejuva, but it looks interesting. I’ve done the colon cleanse from Blessed Herbs and that got results. Also, Bikram yoga will really help because you do a lot of twisting and some of the postures increase blood flow to your intestines. …

• Yep. I know the price is steep, but it’s better to support a company producing healthier products. Gabriel Color’s mascara is a bit cheaper. Also, mascara is one of the more toxic makeup products . . . and considering it’s so close to your eyes.

  in Make-up Comment by Raw_Chocoholic
• You might want to try Larenim. They have great colours, don’t process their minerals with bismouth oxychloride, and the particles are too large to pass through the skin. I also like Dr.Hauschka’s mascara, and Gabriel Color’s. Aveda has a really nice…
