• I'm not sure the cleaning chemical flavor is a good indication. I would see how far the film goes and if the rest of the coconut still smells and tastes okay.

• Are you eating high-caloric foods like dates, avocado, coconut and bananas?

• That does sound hectic! All I can say is prepare, prepare, prepare so you always have enough food ready for meals and to pack to bring with you during the chaotic days.

• It sounds like you'll need to use a "dry container" if you want to grind nuts into a flour as opposed to making them into a butter. I'll have to think about the model.

• No problem.  There are no set requirements. I think a lot of people drink juice for the convenience.

• I don't know anyone who doesn't like their Vitamix! How much will you be using it and what will you be using it for? That might help to narrow down the choices.

• Welcome to the community  That seems like it should be enough food. Some fresh juices in stores are raw, but many are pasteurized (boiled), so it really depends on the brand.

• A certain amount of salt is necessary for optimal health...just not even near the amount found in processed foods.

• When a nut is blanched it is parboiled to remove the skin.  When a drink is unpasteurized, the liquid itself has not been boiled. I assume it would be the same for a non-drink (i.e. almonds). So, in a nutshell (pun intended), both words mean prett…

• That's great, Colleen! Mine shows up without fail when I eat lemons. Maybe it's a response to the body being too acidic?

• Welcome Naomi and Jay! Naomi, I went wandering the web and some of the muscle building sites list food that is good for it. Obviously, not everything they list is raw vegan (or even vegetarian), but a lot of it can be. I saw cantaloupe, oranges and…

• Ouch! I hate to say it, but I would see a medical practitioner of one sort or another (whatever you are comfortable with) to make sure there isn't any permanent damage done to your hearing.

• I think it actually helps with my headaches, but I'm still a light coffee drinker, so I think that plays a huge role.
