• The only SAD restaurant where I have several options of what to put on my salad… big salad buffet with lots of raw ingredients. Of course, nothing organic and nuts aren’t germinated. They have cooked food too.

  in Decent SAD Restaurants? Comment by germin8
• Although, not your typical SAD restaurant… it’s close… it’s a cooked restaurant: Sala Thai or a Thai restaurant. They have garden wraps (but the wrap is not raw nor the dressing). Then, there’s the papaya salad… but, the dressing is not raw either. …

• Thanks wanna_B_raw for checking that for me. I couldn’t imagine having to use only pre-programmed buttons. Thanks wanna_B_Raw & KristensRaw.

  in BlendTec Owners: Is it "better"? Comment by germin8
• Good information… thanks… I think you’ve convinced me about the BlendTec… except, Lexan IS polycarbonate. I’m just waiting to hear about the Waring blenders now. It’s between BlendTec and Waring (VitaMix is out, unless they can give me an awesome de…

• 1. It’s actually a different warranty. I think VitaMix is 7 or 10 yr and BlendTec is 3 or 5. 2. Yeah, amazing a 3 HP 3. Yes, this is a nice feature and another reason I’m considering it. 6. Automatic shut-off… great! 7. Really? That’s a plus. 1…

  in BlendTec Owners: Is it "better"? Comment by germin8
• Thanks, wanna_B_raw. That’s good to know. I was a bit skeptical. Plus, they recommend adding a tad water or ice on the (rare) occasion that does happen. When you say “any way you want” is there a plain ON button to turn it on? ...rather than these p…

• If you are sprouting for 4-5 days… that’s okay! It’s the soaking that I think would be too much. I thought that one should be sprouting after about 24-48 hours of soaking. I didn’t think you could sprout seeds while they are still swimming in water.…

  in over-soaking nuts Comment by germin8
• If they smell funny… then rinse them until the smell goes away. Rinse the container they were in too. If the smell doesn’t go away, throw them out; they are no good. Typically you germinate/soak nuts for up to 48 hours (seeds/grains for up to 24hrs)…

  in over-soaking nuts Comment by germin8
• The smoothies have all the fiber. Plus, they oxidize less rapidly than juicing, so you can keep the smoothies in the fridge for up to 3-4 days… unlike the juice. The best part is you can add greens to your smoothie… and juicing greens is almost impo…

• The box says it’s a nutty flavor. The texture was soft like a flower petal. I drank mine in a juice… and it didn’t have a strong flavor. Thanks for the website, kundalalita!

• Interesting! Well, it could still be sprouted, raw… but not alive. Sad. Makes you wonder what else is labeled raw, sprouted… and not living. Why do they even bother sprouting (which makes it more nutrient-rich) when pasteurization would get rid of t…

  in Soaking an dehydrating Comment by germin8
• I don’t understand what you are asking. But, when you germinate (soak), you are removing the enzyme inhibitors. They are in the water after the nuts/seeds are soaked for some time. Then, the nut/seed is no longer dormant… it is, bio-active. The enzy…

• Pomegranates are delicious… even with the seeds! I even met someone who ate the pomegranate and spit out the seed; it sure didn’t stop them from eating it… even with several other options just as delicious to choose from. I’m making the Wilted Kale …

  in Christmas - what to "cook"? Comment by germin8
• 1) I believe only amylase is found in saliva. That is to digest the carbs/sweets/starch(?). But, this whole “tagging” thing, I’ve never heard of. 2) True, but you’d have to chew very well! 3) Interesting… but, I think this is only important if you…

  in chewing food vs. liquid diet? Comment by germin8
• (We went to Boutenko’s talk a couple weeks ago… so, after that, I will say:) How long is this liquid diet? It depends on how well you digest your food. Blending food in a high-speed blender would allow your body to easily digest your food with the f…

• Thanks for sharing your story. I enjoyed reading it. Although, I’ve never done a colonic… I did a less invasive cleanse. I love that “not so dense” feeling in the midsection. I feel like I can naturally breathe deeper, easier.

• That is definitely clearer. Thanks Bluedolfin. I am amazed that the body can heal those kinds of scars. My husband would like to hear that kind of news… but I’m not sure he wants to be 100% raw… (at least not yet). I imagine this only occurs with a …
