• From my Nutrition Seminar workbook (CNHP): There is a section listing about 6 foods high in nutrients for each vitamin and mineral. Here are some: Vitamin D from sunflower seeds. And, also in these herbs: alfalfa, bee pollen, fenugreek, red raspberr…

• So I had to google your comment about “technically it is a fruit”, and the first thing it came up with was “corn… is a fruit… popularly known as a grain”. and then another saying it’s a “vegetable, fruit, and grain”. So, what is it botanically? A fr…

• On this other forum, I posted a link from Matt Amsden’s site… The Science Behind it All: The Blood Gas Theory ...scroll down about 1/4th of the way down. Maybe gas is NOT just a nut & fruit combination problem. Just FYI.

  in Reducing gas caused by nuts? Comment by germin8
• What are you eating them with? Combining nuts with fruits causes gas. I don’t think soaking helps… but you should be soaking them! ...to remove enzyme inhibitors.

• Rawsiki, I TOTALLY went through what you are going too… and this, just after reading Trudeau’s book. I had a lot of anxiety over what I ate. I totally understand. I actually gave up. I ate cooked food, and LOTS of it for 2 weeks straight. But, I kne…

• Yeah, same here. Good advice. I’ve been making more dehydrated foods, and flattening with a rolling pin separated by a seran wrap… and learning a few things along the way.

  in Different "cleanses" for the body? Comment by germin8
• Yeah, I don’t know much about the MC that everyone talks about… but, I did a non-invasive clean that included a salt water flush, colon cleanser, and blood cleanser as the last stage. It was great! I also did a hot-cold sauna cleanse to eliminate to…

• Yeah, we already did green smoothies for 50 days… not sure when we should see weight gain. We actually stopped daily green smoothies because they were constipating, so we drink them every now-and-then. I did go to her lecture, so I understand why yo…

• Yeah, we haven’t tried weight lifting… not my favorite workout activity. :o) How often did you weight lift the year you put on 35 pounds?

  in Big underweight problem! Comment by germin8
• Yes, good question. I am interested in more responses. My husband is 6 ft tall and has weighted 120 lbs for many years! He eats a lot of nuts too. And we have tried green smoothies, but only for 2 months. I’m not worried… just curious how to get him…

• Wow, Monsanto is a big place!

  in Monsanto Employees Passing GMO Disinformation Comment by germin8
• In this article, the ‘engineered potato’ is not harvested for food consumption. Just serves as a signal crop. Hmmm, but I wonder if those will cross pollinate with non ‘engineered potatoes’. I know little of GM, how it works… those are the thoughts …

• Yum. How about coconut macaroons! They are yummy. And, you don’t really need to dehydrate them.

  in Bought some young coconuts...and have some raw cacao too...what should i make?? Comment by germin8
• Ah yes, I agree with nycgrrl. A high-speed blender (VitaMix or BlendTec) is less messier too. And, you can make nut butters with it, however difficult it is to get them out of the container. (But, I prefer the VitaMix over BlendTec…. I have both.) :…

• That’s true for all juicers… have to drink it in about 30 minutes. Smoothies (with the fiber) will oxidize slower.

• Cacao is what chocolate is made from… it is a ‘stimulant’ but has a lot of antioxidents. Carob is a bean… used as a substitute for chocolate. It doesn’t taste similar… and there’s only so much one can eat of it (unlike chocolate/cacao, yum). Some re…

• Natural Zing sells it! That’s where I get mine from… they’re in MD near where I live. They sell for about $5.79 for 16 ounces. Or 5 lbs for $25. Just a reminder… if you are substituting it for cacao… use 1/4-1/3 the cacao amount for carob.

• rawbeginner, they can get away with it… because they use RAW ingredients… raw in the sense of unadulterated… not raw the way we would like, as in biogenic, bioactive, alive!

  in Fat for weight loss/ and question about Larabars... Comment by germin8
• Larabars are raw. But, I called and they do NO germinate their nuts/seeds. Almost a perfect raw bar. But hey, if you don’t germinate the cashews… the Larabars with cashew would be okay – right?
