• That is great to hear choctastic. I used to get (minor) physical signs I was just about to start my cycle… and in 2000, when I drank 64 oz of water a day, they went away.

• Hehe, well I'll have to try the cucumber-celery juice. The grape feast... is ONLY grapes (preferably organic) and it could be grape juice, grapes, or raisins. According to the book, eat only 1 to 4 lbs a day, nothing more, nothing less (the book exp…

• This is an interesting one. I actually went to a mission where they did a “full body” detox… and nothing invasive. WaHoo! It was basically, salt water flushes and psyllium & liquid bentonite colon cleanses… followed by a tea blood cleanser. All …

• justagirl: Green Smoothies! The way to go. Any greens with your favorite fruit. About 2 cups water and 6 cups greens with 2 fruits (about 1 cup fruit). You drink half of it in one day… the rest keeps for 3-4 days. List of some greens: arugula, aspa…

• Mache (lamb’s lettuce) is nice. Arugula is great too… as is kale, spinach, and collard greens.

• topcat, Did you flush after the salt water and THEN take the bentonite? I have used grape juice for the bentonite (but mixed with psyllium seed husk). This concoction is the “colon cleanse”. So, the day after colon cleanses, I did a salt water flush…

• Are you using teflex sheets? I recommend not using them; they have teflon. Try using unbleached parchment paper. I find that I dehydrate for about 2/3 the time when compared to using the teflex… and I never have to flip anything around. Also, how t…

• Irish Moss: Go to http://goneraw.com/forums/2/topics/1509 and Lucy has a post on where to buy it. That post mentions Cere Gel. It is said to do the same thing… if only someone can tell me what it is and where to find it.

  in Thickening agents Comment by germin8
• Isn’t irish moss a thickening agent? I use agar for a raw pie, but agar is not living… I don’t think. Plus, it needs boiling water to thicken… so, I sometimes wait until it cools again to mix with the rest of the raw living ingredients.

• Thank you for the advice. Greens… oh, that is SO EASY. I’ve been focusing on fat lately… so, I’ll do more research about greens & the heart. I have one more week to prepare a program. And scientific is good… due to the kind of audience I will li…

• Well, I heard that you can remove a pen/ink stain from leather by using hairspray. I can’t say the same is true for jeans though.

• Yes, it’s necessary to soak to remove enzyme inhibitors. Germinating causes the food to change from dormant to alive… and its nutrients increase. Some nuts higher in fat than protein can change to higher in protein than fat after germinating. Typica…

• Try a young thai coconut… that’s soft meat you can scoop out! Plus, it has the coconut water. For the mature coconuts are tough scrape the meat out… I use a knife to cut it out or a potato peeler… and I find a lot of time!

• Cabelas is another good brand. Basically, you want the fan on the side like Excalibur and Capela… since they will dry more evenly and you won’t have to move trays around. And, of course, the thermostat should be adjustable below 120… even down to 95…

• That is a good question considering aI bought a big jar and only need a few tablespoons at a time. I used nutritional yeast for a dressing and also for a curry (I think). I don’t know what else to use it for. What did it taste like in your juice?
