• I was just browsing through David Wolfe’s site and I noticed he had an aritcle on there about Eating for Beauty. It is short article but talks about silicon and hair and a few other things. So I thought it might be a nice read for those getting on t…

• lovetobenatural – Yes, you can correct this. The thing is that stress depletes nutrition. You could have been eating everything good for your hair, taking MSM, doing scalp massages etc – the works – if you were very stressed out, that would trump it…

• Hey guys! If I were to focus on certain things in the list – just based on what I know about hair – I would focus on the things with iron, MSM, zinc and protein (although David Wolfe says that what is normally referred to as a protein deficiency is …

• Ok, I browsed through my book and got a list. This list is not exhaustive of course – there are plenty of other foods listed – I just put some examples. Also, many of the foods I put here and in the books have more than one of the important vitamins…

• The hair is the last area on your body to get nutrition. So if you aren’t getting enough for the whole body, the hair isn’t going to get any. Yes, get those fats in! I would suggest to start taking some MSM too – very good for the hair. Also, what s…

• The minimum “temp” to dehydate at to keep foods “raw” is debatable among the rawies. I have heard everything from 95 to 150! I usually stay at 110. I would figure the lower your temp the “safer” you are to not being going over the real minimum temp.

• If anyone lives in Northern Cali, I just went to a newish place called Elephant Pharm yesterday. It is sort of a “natural” pharmacy. Anyhow, they had a few brands of “natural” nail polish and removers. I just looked briefly but they had the No Miss …

  in Pedicures! Comment by queenfluff
• There is a thread on this in the Other Section somewhere – it came up about a month or so ago. Yes, there is no such things as “completely natural” nail polish. You can really make nail polish without some chemicals. There are some that claim to be …

• yuna - I just bought the book “How we all went Raw” by Top Raw Men. They have a chip recipe in there too. Before they do the marinating part they actually soak there chip pieces for 2 to 3 hours in water and drain off the soak water and rinse the pi…

• Yes, definately post your recipe for the chips. I love the salt and vinegar ones but I would like to try different marinates!

• Oops I see you are in NY! Ok, than I check the craigslist for your area – that would be the best bet. Or put up an ad for one!

  in Need a Kombucha Starter Comment by queenfluff
• Take a look on craigslist for your area. Some times people give away their “babies” free. My bf has a big one that he gives “jr bolbs” away to some people. Right now, it is in Wisconsin but he will be driving it back to California (where we are now …

• I think I am an INFP but I am on the fence on some the the descriptions. The “I” and the “F” and definates I think. Yeah, I remember this from psych in college. I would need to retake the whole test.

• Hey, what’s wrong with patchouli??? :) Anyhow, well, since you are new you probably don’t notice it yet but you will once you meet more raw foodists – there are some rawies that are shall we say “just kinda spacey”. Honestly, my bf said he thinks th…

• starrie – that is a good idea too! I noticed though that I get a better (and stronger) taste if my tea gets sun though. I wonder if there are any benefits to having the sun brew the tea? If anyone knows, post it here.

• Well, guys the NESCO is really not a dehydrator meant for the raw lifestyle. It is meant to dehydrate little pieces of fruit, veggies and meat. It is honestly not designed for big time dehydrating that we rawies like to do. I met a woman a a potluck…
