• I burnt out my Blendtec (doing something with grains) and it didn’t restart like it normally does when it goes into overload and I sent it back and I got a replacement – no cost to me (except shipping). I guess it depends on what you are blending bu…

• I am bumping up an old topic. I just got an email for the RawSpirit newsletter and there was a little blog on there about how Angela Stokes did an ear candling and a bunch of junk came out. Scroll down for the pic and story: http://mattmonarch.blogs…

• Thanks newbie! Might I also add that there were several times where they were in their carriers for more than 8 hours and they did fine! I actually stopped worrying about them after a few days! :)

• Yes, they are good – a bit tart. My bf made a raw pie out of them one year – just make sure they are indeed chokeberries (choke cherries – they are sometimes called) – some red berries can be good look-a-likes for other things and not be edible.

• I used to work at a zoo. Even though I am an animal rights person, I am not anti-zoo and my reasons are for conversation ones. Lots of people go to the zoo and feel sorry for the animals – and yes, it is natural to do this – but what they must reali…

• How I love my Blendtec! I got mine from rawguru.com. Raw Guru site also helps me decide between the blenders. It is normally discounted there and you get free shipping. Can’t beat that! I remember that I was considering getting one but I had a worki…

• I tried that yeast away stuff – didn’t work for me either. You know what did? Yoghurt. If you are not adverse to purchsing some non-vegan stuff just for this (get the plain organic stuff – get a small size if you can) give it a try. It gets a bit me…

• I am glad this thread is going on. I woke up this morning with some blood in my urine. Damn! I have only had a few UTI’s in my life. The first one I didn’t treat it because I had no idea of what it was – I thought it would go away – and i ended up i…

  in Question about MSM. Comment by queenfluff
• Take MSM every 12 hours. It doesn’t matter when or on a full stomach or not – unless you find it bothers your tummy than maybe taking it when you eat or after might help. MSM only stays in the body for a 12 hour period and gets eliminated. So, I wou…

  in coconuts Comment by queenfluff
• I have heard from several rawies that the “Best” brand of young coconuts are not treated. You can get them at Asian store. It will have a little sticker on it that says “Best” (ya that is the brand/company name of it).
