  • Thanks for the advice rawjoy. My mom has been in town these past couple weeks… I introduced her to Loving Life raw food restaurant… and even made her pleny of raw food while she was here. She enjoyed it all! I’m just about to start eating GREENS, GR…
  • Interesting. I went through some time where my hair stopped growing. Then, I did a cleanse… and it grew! I didn’t know gums receeding had to do with too much fruit… something to research. B12 is also found in cabbage and comfrey. I don’t know in wha…
  • Just FYI: The Purely Delicious ($25/yr) magazine is a great magazine… The Spring 2007 issue I bought has less than 30 pages of information. The Get Fresh magazine (~$56US/yr) is also great and the last issue I got has over 80 pages. So, you get abou…
  • I got Purely Delicious too. But, I think Get Fresh is better… enough to pay for the year subscription ($50)... you must’ve wanted the 2-year one for $100. When Purely Delicious gets “bigger” or more info on it… I would subscribe to that… right now, …
  • I emailed them and asked about ordering a subscription (I am in the U.S.) They prompty replied that I can place an order, where, and how. So, I did… I put in my information (to purchase)... and weeks later they haven’t charged me. I emailed them… an…
  • I ordered it… but they haven’t even charged me for it… so I don’t know if I’m getting it! I even emailed them to get them to send it the U.S… they said they would… but, I’m still waiting.
  • Katie, sorry for the delay in writing. I had to find a paper with some info. I met the person who told me about the NJ doctor about 5 years ago. I lost contact with her… but I clearly remember she sent me the doctor’s website. But, I don’t have the …
  • These doctors are not naturopaths. At least, they don’t call themselves that. I do not know if they are associated with HMOs… but, I do know that there are insurance companies that do cover visits to these kinds of doctors. I know of Christian Care …
  • I was just about to ask and post if anyone knows of doctors that practices natural remedies! I was just curious if there are doctors (real medical doctors) that do that and what states/cities they are in. I know of four medical doctors (in NJ, VA, W…
  • This is all very interesting! I am 5’2” and I had a cleanse done about the time I was almost 2 months raw. After the cleanse I weighed down to 88lbs. I wasn’t eating a lot of greens, but definitely eating a lot of nuts/grains/seeds. Prior to the cle…

  • I have found that chocolate and carob are not a 1-to-1 measurement. Carob has a certain “taste” that you can’t eat too much of… (or at least I can’t). I find, I like to use about 1/4th of the carob. As for a smoothie… I was just about to make the ch…
  • Someone mentioned that the brand, Cascadian Farm, flash freezes… so, maybe they are not blanched or heated before freezing. So, technically… that brand of corn would be raw. I don’t have much luck with soups. But I do like the carrot soup online her…

  • Wet salt is less processed.
  • Thanks for posting the link so I can link to my saved recipe and edit it. Jocelynaz was right
  • So, I’m in search of a 2nd high-speed blender… but I was wondering about this Eastman container… what is that made of and is it toxic too? Eaglenester, I just submitted for a quote for the stainless steal containers… still waiting on it, but how muc…
  • Ummm, I’m just catching up on Gone Raw (been gone for a while). Sorry, I’m not cathing up on all the posts… but the microwaved water experiment was something we wanted to try… except we don’t have a microwave. I would have used a glass container for…
  • Ah yes, I have a similar thought… (just not about VitaMix). I was at a mission in Colorado where a doctor and RN are on staff. This is where I first learned about the plastic ratings. They said rating #7 and above is “best”. All others below #7 shou…
  • I had a similar thought a while ago. I like that idea. Also, the Delicious Chocolate Orange Brownie recipe is changing the layout of the website. The active discussions appear near the bottom, under the Latest News sections and Favorite Recipes. It’…
  • How many lemons did you use? Ani’s book calls for 12 lemons. I used it, and it worked for me. It could have used a second clean, but I didn’t have enough lemons. But, if I kept it up (which I don’t) it would be okay. Do you have soap scum? I don’t h…

  • My favorite is Raw Food Real World because every recipe I’ve made from that turns out great! Food processor… I use mine all the time. A high-speed blender. One with variable speed would also be good for some food-processor-type processing… plus maki…

  • Believe it or not… I use a potato peeler to make my yam chips. It’s not quite at “neat” as the mandolin, I’m sure… but, I also have a food processor, and I am looking to buy the thinnest slicer they have instead of getting a mandolin. Then, I hope t…

  • There are 4 cups in a quart.
  • Yes, I’ve done it with 2 Qts and 8 tsp Pure Inland Seawater with trace minerals. I drink the 2 quarts while it’s very warm and within 45 minutes. I don’t suggest people do that daily unless they know what they’re doing. But, my missionary friend (wh…
  • Ah yes, this is just like a salt water flush. In the morning is best because the pyloric valve is open… (at least that is what the people told me at the mission when I was there getting my cleanse). An open pyloric valve allows stomach contents to p…
  • It’s best to use filtered water… since that is what is being absorbed in the nuts/seeds. I use filtered for soaking and storing… but I rinse with tap.

  • Don’t drink the water. Germinating/soaking removes enzyme inhibitors – tannin & phytic acid – and it does so by soaking. The enzyme inhibitors it what makes nuts/seeds more difficult to digest. I posted about germinating months ago. Here is a co…

  • Hi softcita, I don’t have any children… but I can offer some ideas. I have a sweet tooth and always looking for easy ways to make raw sweets… fast. Coconut Macaroons are easy, and fast to make. I use Sarma’s recipe and don’t dehydrate… but, here is …
  • I agree with ron4540 – Cuisinart or KitchenAid. I like my Cuisinart. I never had a KitchenAid, but I did hear it is good too. I have an 11-cup Cuisinart, and it does the job… (I usually make food for two). When I make recipes that require dehydratio…
  • Thanks, satnam. I have that book too! I did read about the “composting” and the menu for the different phases… but I haven’t tried it. I don’t know that I have candida… but, I know I eat way too much “sugar”. FleshMechanic, I’d be interested to know…
  • FleshMechanic that sounds like something I’ve done before! The psyllium seed husks with liquid bentonite. I did this at a mission… but it was part of a bigger program. First thing in the morning I did a salt water flush (2Qt – I think)... then after…
