• Yes. it certainly has affected my cycle. It varies. When I eat a high percentage of raw, my cycle sometimes comes sooner… and sometimes comes much later. Like up to a 50-day cycle! I track when I ovulate, so I have noticed how my diet affects my cyc…

• Raw coconut oil or raw butter may help… according to Enzyme Nutrition book. People w/ eczema may not be able to digest fat very well. So, raw fat, topically or may just eating it, may help since the raw fat has the lipase enzyme to digest fat. I wou…

• If I remember correctly, my friend did it for 4 weeks… maybe 6. You can’t do it for very, very long. Like many cleanses, you are supposed to take some supplements such as electrolytes. I only plan to do it for a couple days… a week max. Thanks for t…

• I just wanted to try another cleanse. :o) Plus, I love concord grapes… I thought this would be a good excuse. :o)

• I would guess it depends. Coconut seems to last long in its raw state… but, typically 6 months is an average (estimate). However, some enzyme “activity” (or maybe it’s oxidation) can occur when frozen and cause things to brown some – like greens, ba…

• Thanks for sharing that beany. It’s good to know those enzymes were still preserved in the freezer while still in their dormant (i.e. non-germinated) state.

• queenfluff, what I meant by dehydrating is, what if you took a sprouted nut/seed/sprout and dehydrated it. Would it still grow if you added water to it later and tried to grow it? Additionally, if you food-process it and make a dehydrated nut bar… i…

• Enzyme activity is slowed down when freezing… but I don’t know what is the lowest temperature for each enzyme (if there is one). However, nutrients are lost when freezing. It’s an average of about 5% according to a link someone posted about. It was …

• Typically, cravings are due to lack in mineral(s). (I don’t have a reference for this… but what I’ve heard again and again.) Craving chocolate may indicate a craving for manganese/magnesium. I forget which of the two minerals.

  in raisin' a question! Comment by germin8
• Correct. If a package says raw it does not mean living! Raw but not living means they are using the ingredient ‘unadultered’ or minimally processed… something like that. When you see something labelled raw, check if it says something about the tempe…

• Leaving out the details, you can also do a salt water flush or colon cleanser (psyllium and bentonite) to help detox. Or, how about a hot-cold sauna/shower or dry brush (?) massage on the skin since it seems that’s where it’s coming out. (just a gue…

• Yes grind them. But, I find my body prefers the oil instead of the freshly ground flaxseed meal… maybe because the oil has no fiber.

• Mmmm, lambs lettuce. It just looks too pretty to blend up. Mixed greens and collard greens are also good. Chard. I love chard! Mint is very bitter (more than dandelion) so put smaller quantities for those.
