  • I doubt DE will do anything. Heartworms are inside the dog's heart and merely having him consume something by mouth will not likely affect something in his heart. I used to be a vet tech and I can tell you that if he is already having breathing prob…

  • PS...you can start by running a tape recorder in your bedroom overnight. If you do a lot of gasping for air, coughing and choking in your sleep, could be sleep apnea. That would have you waking up feeling pretty lousy. Do you feel sleepy during the …
    in How to feel better fast Comment by Amygdala
  • I hope you are feeling better soon! I would get a cardio workup and get checked for sleep apnea. You'll have to go to a sleep lab for that. After you mentioned gaining 100 lbs, that's the first thing that popped into my head.

  • Carnap, I also have at least one fibroid for the past few years. Last spring I went 100% raw plus I took a product called Vitalzym systemic enzymes. I think the enzymes really worked to shrink the fibroid within a few weeks because my periods became…

  • Oh, by the way. I meant 750 WATTS, not hp! Gosh, imagine a 750 hp blender? You could make smoothies out of cinder blocks and tree trunks, lol!
    in I've found THE blender! Comment by Amygdala
  • Does anyone know whether it's the Vitamix or the Blendtec for which you can order a replacement stainless steel container? I agree with what Thomas said and so if it can't be glass, then I'd settle for stainless steel.

  • Thanks to everyone for this great info. How is Waterbaby’s father doing? I haven’t been on the site for a while and haven’t had time respond to posts. My mother’s been really sick as well so I’ve been spending time at her house.
    in Non-plastic blenders? Comment by Amygdala
  • Thanks emtpdmom. I do remember the issue about safety regarding glass pitchers and utensils. But then I remembered seeing some bartenders use s. steel pitchers for frozen drinks but that was years ago. I wonder if they still make them that way. wate…

  • noebones…I would guess pickles are raw. I have wondered this too. They are basically just cucumbers in vinegar and maybe a few spices or herbs thrown in.

    in Top 10 Increased Cancer Risk Foods Comment by Amygdala
  • C….yes I think being raw helped to at least stop the fibroid from worsening. I guess it’s all about enzymes. It takes more enzymes for us to digest cooked food so by eating raw, we stop depleting our own enzymes. Then by adding the Vitalzym, which I…

  • Hey Ceasarea! I am so happy for you! That’s fantastic. It really sounds like you are being helped by your regimen. I wonder which of the supplements or extracts are having the most benefit. I know that magnesium is supposed to be very helpful with c…

  • Hi Ceasarea, What are kale chips? I’ve tried eating kale and also making smoothies with it and I just can’t get it down. It’s like eating a burlap bag, lol.
    in Frustrated- Difficult Menstrution Comment by Amygdala
  • Hi Ceasarea. Amazing, isn’t it? Another thing I noticed was that my shoulder and knee pains were helped quite a bit while on Vitalzym. Now, I don’t know if quitting gluten had anything to do with that but I suspect the enzymes had a lot to do with i…
    in Frustrated- Difficult Menstrution Comment by Amygdala
  • Hi Ceasarea, I was taking 20 Vitalzym capsules a day, divided into two doses. One first thing in the morning and the other in the afternoon. I took it on an empty stomach and waited around 45 minutes before eating or drinking anything. After taking …

  • Ceasarea…I also have 2 fibroids. One is around 3 cm and the other when last checked was 5 cm. I started the raw diet in April but have been very bad at sticking to it. I did lose around 25 lbs very quickly when I first started eating raw. I am also …
    in Frustrated- Difficult Menstrution Comment by Amygdala
  • Yes, I have had a noticeable lessening of body aches and joint aches, not necessarily since going raw but since going gluten-free. I went gluten-free in March and within 2 weeks I noticed my knee and shoulder pain was almost gone. Then I also went r…

  • Cappuccino…I am with you on this one! I LOVE my 2 cups of coffee in the morning. I think that if you have made the big change from the SAD diet to a mostly raw and healthy one, you are way ahead of the game and a little coffee won’t negate all that.…

  • Here’s another idea: I make a guacamole type dressing by putting half an avocado, some garlic, olive oil, lime juice, salt and cilantro in the food processor. Turns out pretty good. I also have done what bitt does with tahini paste and lime juice. Y…

  • After I’d been eating the raw diet for about a month, my Dr. wanted to test my B12 and folate (she was running other tests already so she threw those two in). Both were normal. In fact, they were pretty high. I take Solgar B12 Sublingual Nuggets, 10…

  • Rachel and Bluedolfin….thanks for your help. I see acne mentioned a lot and I never had that. Had a few headaches and bouts of tiredness which I thought was probably low blood sugar due to eating mostly greens. But I didn’t expect the smelly urine, …
    in Can you tell me about DETOX? Comment by Amygdala
  • Hi amysue. Thanks for your reply. Maybe I should pick up a book like the one you mentioned. I have Victoria Boutenko’s book “Green For Life,” but I don’t remember if she mentioned any detox symptoms in there. I’ll have to pick it up again and see. I…
    in Can you tell me about DETOX? Comment by Amygdala
  • Hello everyone. I am fairly new to the raw thing and this is my first post here. When you talk about detoxing, are you just referring to detoxing the digestive system and colon cleansing or is there any detox through the kidneys as well? For the pas…
