• When your skin breaksout it is detox (probably induced by the heat and if you are sweating)- our skins natural oils don’t cause us to “breakout”. Using soap can cause your skin to get too oily, If you are are using soap to wash off that oil – you ar…

• When you soak the seeds, it adds alot of moisture to the seeds which can invite bacteria a lot sooner and reduce the life of your butter. So, it is better not to soak the seeds if you want your tahini to last.

• lzhpt – So I should go to a dermatologist first? I am pretty sure it isn’t a skin problem as it is inside me. You can’t see it from the outside. You have to feel it to know it is there. It doesn’t protude out of the skin as a lump (although that are…

• thanks for the replies so far! Grania – hmmm, lipoma eh? That sounds like a possiblity. I also forgot to mention that I have had this ball-y lumpy thingy for a while (I can’t remember when it first appeared). I thought it was just my bones and I was…

• I don’t know if you are up for it but go “no ‘poo” – it works the best on curly haired persons like yourself. Read our “To Shampoo or not to Shampoo thread” (warning it is pretty long). You might want to read the book “Curly Girl” which recommends t…

• What kind of wax paper did you use? Don’t use the white stuff use the natural brown stuff. Plus, if unless you are dehydrating something oily you need to put a thin layer of olive oil on your wax paper before you put your items on so they don’t stic…

• RawK – Yes, maybe the red ants don’t do that – the black ants do – the would go straight for my cats food bowl on the floor – a big line from the hole in one room to the kitchen several rooms away. It wasn’t a perfect line but once I spent a little …

  in Ants: how to make them stay outside? Comment by queenfluff
• If they are getting in your house and you aren’t leaving the doors and windows open for them, then there is a hole or crack that they are using to get in somehow. I used to have this problem in my apartments with black ants. You have to figure out h…

• thanks for all the great replies guys! It is very interesting how peoples bodies seem to change when they go on raw. It also seems to be that people who grew up in warmer climates want a “break” from the hot weather (which makes perfect sense) and v…

• I don’t have any “wasp catching” advice for you except to maybe check out some of the eco sites and see if you can purchase something that will keep the wasps away. (if it gets bad you may be able to have them professionally and humanely removed – I…

• Yes, you can sub for teflex sheets. I don’t even own any telflex sheets. I use natural wax paper (the brown kind) and spray with olive oil so my items don’t stick. Works great! Another tip: Don’t use the the white wax paper – for some reason, it doe…

• I agree with everyone else. Don’t push yourself into that whole -”never again” menality. You will drive yourself crazy. I have been into raw for 6 years and I was only 100% for a few months once. I honestly feel better if I am not 100% – maybe it wi…
