• Thanks RavishingRaw. I'm going to look into that more! This is great information. I didn't realize undigested food fuels the bacteria... I hope this is only for good bacteria (but I have my doubts). RawKidChef: I am looking for natural foods... and …

• Wow, that coconut butter must be hard as a rock if frozen! I have a hard time 'melting' mine when it comes out of the fridge. I use a high-speed blender, but it still doesn't seem right that I add hard-as-a-rock coconut butter to it. How about addin…

• My comments: http://goneraw.com/node/7730 I own both, and I prefer the VitaMix. HOWEVER, the BlendTec is the one sitting on my kitchen counter... go figure. (Actually, I'm selling my condo and it needs to fit under my counter when potential buyers c…

• Synthetic vitamin in Vitamin Code!!!? I looked at Vitamin Code. I was *surprised* to see Folic Acid labelled on there... b/c, from my understanding, folic acid and folate are the 'same' thing. Except folic acid is the synthetic, man-made form. While…

• Years ago, I had anxiety. (I was a meat-eater then.) I became vegetarian and drank my 64 oz of water a day…. and my symptoms went away. Just a couple years ago, they came back… and raw food didn’t work (not really, and not for me, I must’ve been doi…

• Yeah, I’ve been trying to do the same thing… hasn’t worked. And, I certainly don’t want to change profiles.

• Hmmm, I missed that one. I don’t really know how much “toxin” is in lemon piths… but there are several foods that have toxins to some degree. I guess lemon piths just have more. I learned yesterday, from a professor of Biology, that cyanide is toxic…

  in Blended Nectarine Pit. Poison? Comment by germin8
• The kernel is toxic, but not the outer shell – right? The only thing that got in my smoothie seems to be pieces of the outer shell. I should be okay. Seems like we’re okay drinking the juice…. so I don’t think there was another seed in there that go…

  in Blended Nectarine Pit. Poison? Comment by germin8
• I found an article that says the kernel is poisonous… so, the outer shell should be okay. Thus, pieces of it in my smoothie are okay. Wow, I’m glad the BlendTec didn’t blend the nectarine pit!

• If your ‘background’ is white (without the “green”), you won’t be able to search. I have that same problem when using IE. The webpage loads fine on Safari. I don’t think they’ve fixed that… yet. BEST THING TO DO is go to Google and type in your sear…

• I find www.petersons.com to be very useful when finding an accredited school. Just search for the schools that offer the degree you are interested… and do some research on them. You can search online schools, on-campus only, or both. There’s antoher…

• How about using more than one bank… in case one “goes”. Then you don’t have all your money in one place… even if FDIC… Yes! I heard credit unions are actually doing better. Interesting about Vermont. I was reading an article on National Geographic a…

• The relative of mine that had Bell’s Palsy had it almost 15 years ago… and I think she still experiences other symptoms but not on her face …more like shakiness in the extremeties or something. Not sure if she has that anymore. Back when she got Bel…

• Wow, I remember this happened to a relative of mine. She recovered after a while… but didn’t take “anything” for it… just let it take its course. Are there long term effect to Bell’s Palsy (even if one recovers)? Apple cider vinegar is supposed to h…

• Oh wow, I see how that works. Excellent! I’m going to guess you figured that out on your own… I’m impressed! You are right… if only everyone would include an ingredient list in their description. The search would work better… (almost perfect). Mmmm,…

  in How do You use GoneRaw? Comment by germin8
• I use it to ask my questions or find information by searching other posts. I rarely use it for recipes. If a picture catches my eye, I’d put it in my “box” to try later. Otherwise, there are too many recipes to go through that the search tool is too…

• How about marinating it to soften it? You can mix olive oil, lemon juice, and raw honey (I guess you can try agave) with a dash of salt. Marinate for a few hours… it will be bright green too!

• Looring, I’ve been practicing water fasting for 20 years ago. And have read about it. Only recently, (within the last several years) have I been doing juice/fruit fasts/feasts. Yes, my opinion was based on the last book that I read (written by Sandr…

  in Fasting- was this effective? Comment by germin8
• Hmmm, I don’t know about this “starvation mode”. I hear it often… then recently I read a post that Cayenne Pepper would prevent your body from going into “starvation mode” and instead allow your body to detox. But, I don’t knot too much about that. …

• Well, maybe she will find good deals and can make it. Personally, my husband and I think that there are more beautiful places than Hawaii. Well, at least that is what we thought when we arrived (in Waikiki). (Of course, we didn’t make it to Kauai an…

• Hi StephanieWithOpenEyes. We were just at Hawaii! We were in Oahu, Big Island, and Maui. Maui is better. Kauai is the romantic island (we were told), but what we wanted to do was on the other islands and we only had one week. We rented our cars from…

• It’s salt like every other salt, except it has been minimally processed. It sounds like “damp” salt is the same thing. It’s not supposed to have that ‘additional moisture-absorbing ingredient’ that may or may not be on the label. That’s about all I …

• So Celtic Sea Salt is sold with a “damp” label. Hmmmm. I have Himalayan. I wonder how I know if its a wet salt. It only sticks a little… but not enough for me to think it’s wet. I’ll have to check for “damp” on my next search. Is damp Celtic salt wa…

• MsDerious I learned that different enzymes denature at different temperatures… and it depends on that enzyme. So after reading your post… do I understand that ALL enzymes are denatured by 140F (even if some of those denatured sooner)? I hope that ma…

• Different Enzymes denature at different temperatures. I don’t know which enzymes and at which temperature… But, 118F is a general rule, I guess.
