• I have found that preparing stuff in advance – before I’m hungry – helps a lot. I chop vegetables, dehydrate crackers, make sauces and dressings – so that when I’m hungry, I can get out half a squash, slice it up real quick in the spiralizer and pou…

• I’m generally skeptical about the news when it makes proclamations like this. It sounds like fear-mongering from the Republican-Right-Pro-Fossil-Fuel crowd to me. “We’ll all starve, if we don’t continue to use fossil fuel!” I wouldn’t worrytoo much.…

  in SURVIVAL- Food Crisis!!! SUPERFOODS and more Comment by Mariposa
• industry grown mushrooms like button mushrooms totally gross me out. however, I love wild mushrooms such as portobello, crimini, chanterelle and shittake. I’m not a big fan of big chunks of raw tomato by itself. I have to use it with other things, a…

  in What's wrong with what I'm eating?! Comment by Mariposa
• Red Earth, I’m very interested in what you have to say about being cured on a banana and coconut diet. The food that seems to appeal most to me these days is coconut (fresh young) and I eat bananas almost daily. (I also love cashews and kale and fla…

  in What did I experience? Comment by Mariposa
• try: pau-d’arco root, astragalus, and licorice – all anti-viral herbs. And shittake mushrooms. Make an infusion (a tea). Drink it several times a day for ten days, every six months. Garlic is also a superb immune-booster.

  in Anti-viral.. Comment by Mariposa
• not to be a naysayer here, but apricot pits have cyanide in them. It could make you really sick to eat a lot of them. :-\ just be careful.

  in Is B17 + raw diet a cancer cure? Comment by Mariposa
• I have had problems with night blindness in the past. Recently I have noticed, that it’s gone. I eat a lot of flax seeds and carrots. Maybe it’s helping. I did not see an improvement until I had been eating high raw for about three months. I dont kn…

  in Anyone wear glasses/contacts? Comment by Mariposa
• it takes a little time, but the weight will come off. I would minimize the amount of nuts and avocados to about 1-2 oz per day. I would also look for a raw cookbook that has menu’s in it. This might help too.

  in gaining weight and frustrated..do i stay on RAW? Comment by Mariposa
• there is research that suggests that hunger and satiety are not directly related to how much—or what—you eat. Each person’s body has, apparently, a unique “full” message. I wonder if the raw lifestyle modifies the satiety messaging in some folks. I …

• after eating a cooked meal last night (to keep from hurting someone’s feelings), today I’m nauseous and visiting the bathroom a lot. Ugh.
