• They also sell foie gras too. I sent an email to them about a month ago complaining about it. I got the alert from Farm Sanctuary. I got a an email back from Amazon about how they want to have a “variety of products” to reach a “wide customer base”.…

• Marichiesa - MSM is organic sulfur. It very easily destroyed in foods (even raw food) so most people are deficient in it. http://www.purehealthsystems.com/msm.html I think there are a few thread on here on it already.

• It could be possible yes. I have read a few stories of people going raw and than losing a lot of hair and than they said it grew back in thicker and healthier but it took years to do that. They attributed it to their bodies shedding their old “cooke…

• For those of you experiencing hair loss, if you haven’t already and are using shampoos and conditioners, check into what is in those products. The best thing is to not use any shampoo at all (it is very drying to hair and scalp) but I realize not ev…

• If you are used to making cooked soup from scratch, you will find that making raw soup is even easier. It is basically the same – just no cooking time! One downside in the food prepartion part is when you make dehydrated foods like crackers and brea…

• I notice that if I drink oj that I feel more phlemmy. I forget why it is but it does do that. The best thing I have found is lemon water. I used to drink hot lemon water when first waking in the morning. You could probably do a cold lemon water too.

• I think Grassroot might be it for Tampa area. I went there when I was in Florida and they have awesome smoothies too. They had several raw dishes when I was there – maybe they changed it? We talked to the owner and he is really into raw foods. If yo…

• I am assuming you are referring to candida. It has been discussed many times on here. Do a search for candida. There is a spit test you can take. I know I put the link up to it but can’t remember which thread. Basically, it is hard to get rid of. Yo…

• No it is not the same as parchment paper. You might see both near each other – they are different. The natural wax paper with the olive oil works great. It is sort of like greasing pans when you bake things. Keeps the batters from sticking. Still ma…

• Use natural wax paper and spray with olive oil. This is will keep your foods from sticking to the wax paper. Only get the natural wax paper (it is brown). Don’t use the white stuff – I have used both and the food sticks to the white stuff but not th…

• Did it say Vitamin E on the label before at Whole Foods? I never noticed. I know they have the sign up warning how the almonds will not be actually raw after Sept 1 even though they have been labeled as so.
