• Sunshine’s Food without Fire is closed down. My bf and I were just in Florida in February and it is gone. We tried to find the Tree of Zion place but no luck and when we called we asked if they had raw food and the guy didn’t know what we were talki…

• I have been to Robert Is Here fruit stand in Florida. It is great! :) Robert himself gave us some free mangos while we were there – he was very knowledgable in explaining the difference in tastes of a truely ripe mango to an unripe one and the diffe…

• I like www.rawguru.com. I think they have the cheapest prices and the best products – You can get both the oil and the butter there. The Artisana Coconut butter is out of this world! Super yum! Raw guru sells some Natural Zing products. A few other …

• The lemon juice in hot water is very good for removing excess mucus from your body. Yes, I think it helps with detox. I think it is most beneficial to drink it first thing in the morning. I am not sure about between meals though. I use to do this an…

• If you are 100% raw you should not burn – You have to be 100%. When you put on sunscreen what you are basically doing is baking chemicals into your skin – you are adding to your toxic load. The theory is more to do with the enzymes rather than cooke…

• I recommend the spiroli over the saladacoo. It easier to use and you don’t have to cut the fruit in half. You can stick the whole thing in there and it is practically zero effort. Honestly. I have used both.

• I actually use natural wax paper and spray some raw olive oil on it. I use it in my dehydrator as I don’t have any Telflex sheets. My stuff doesn’t stick to the paper. Just remember to watch it and flip it while it is still a bit wet or it might get…

• Hey Zoe, I think the green ones you are getting are the Wild Young Coconuts and unless you live in Hawaii unfortunatley they are not available here in the US. I agree with you. They are awesome. The only you can get here are Mature (the hairy ones) …

• Thanks for the site 123! I have read that article before. It is a good article. Although, I am speaking of ORGANIC imported produce. This article doesn’t mention anything about organic imported produce (unless I really missed something) – just impor…

• 123 – may I ask for a source for your information about the irradiation please ? My understanding is that ANYTHING that is organic whether grown in the US or outside is NOT to be irradiated. If the government is doing it anyway, even when it is orga…

• I stopped buying and eating the Young coconuts – I now get the Organic mature ones or the Organic dried coconut. Organic foods are not supposed to irradiated. Raw cacao if it is organic should not be irradiated either. Is that why you say it is toxi…

• Are you avoiding grains too? How about sprouting some grains and making some essene flat breads? They aren’t often super tasty by themselves but put some avocado on them or other pates and they are a good sub for your bread cravings. Make a little s…

• Detox can take a long time for some people. What was the 20% your diet like before you went all raw? And how long were you 80% raw? And how long have you been vegan? That can often be a big indicator of how bad or long your detox will be – most of u…

• mham, I think Omshanti may be referring to candida which is a yeast overgrowth which can occur in the body. It said that Candida can be the cause of a lot of problems that people might not even realize are caused by it and think the problems are cau…

• depends on how intense the sun is and how warm it is outside, I leave out suntea to brew on a day that is in the 80s and sunny and it normally only takes a few hours for it to brew. If you are just trying to “warm” things, if there is constant inten…

• Dancin’ Durian – It is normal in shedding hair to have the bulb on the end. I asked because I was just trying to deteremine whether or not your hair was breaking off and thereby, that would mean your hair was in a damaged or fragile condition. You p…

• Dancin’ Durian – I am not an expert on raw nutrition by any means but my guess is that the four days on exclusive fruit might be a factor. It is great you are getting the greens in there. Is there a reason why you only eat fruit those four days? I w…

• When you do a dramatic change in diet this can happen. Even SAD eater when they go on “crash” diets they don’t get the right nutrients for their hair. Often they don’t notice until a few months after and don’t realize the relation. Also stress in an…

• I buy my Frontier brand non-alcoholic vanilla extract at the local co-op. You can get it at any health food store. Whole Foods sells it. I use the entire vanilla bean (seeds and skins) when I use whole vanilla beans.

• Hi RawVee, I had sent you an email with a couple questions but I didn’t hear back so I guess it got spammed or never made it you. Anyhow, the tree tea oil seems to be kicking it a bit as the rashes are getting lighter in color. So, we will see what …
