• does anyone have a substitution for a young coconut (water and meat) in a smoothie? I tried dried coconut and oil and butter but it just didn’t taste the same for all of my smoothie recipes. Any ideas? I like the young coconuts but I am trying to av…

• I bought truely raw cashews from a different site and guess what they turned out to be – Nature’s First Law! (HA HA!). At least they were a bit cheaper though. :) They were an old packaging as now most of the packaging says SunFood Nutrition. The ca…

• For me – it is because I get busy with something else and put it off. And there are a few other factors too. Even though I have a gym membership- I hate going there – the atmosphere(too crowded and noisy, not relaxing). It has a lot to do with the w…

• I forgot to say in my post that i use my round cookie cutter at the beginning when I put my batter on the tray so I don’t do any cutting in the middle of dehydrating. So my shapes are already formed and ready. I don’t like to have to cut in the midd…

• I use an open round cookie cutter when i make my corn chips. it takes a little extra work since you have to do one at a time but I like them round so it is worth it to me. I don’t know of a large mold or anything that has a bunch of round holes (if …

• This is horrible! I mean, if you did have an eating disorder is it really any of their business unless you asked for help? It is not like you are stumbling around the office sick and throwing up. If you say “no, I don’t have an eating disorder” – th…

• I like raw cacao. I used to love those Special Dark Chocolate bars which are kind of bitter so that is probably why it tastes good to me. Otherwise, you definatley need to put it in a smoothie with some sweeteners to balance out that bitter taste.

• Not sure about the pill. I have seen MSM in powder or the powder in vegi-capsule form. I would guess the pill would be alright. I suppose you could crush or grind it and mix it in your water. Or just swallow it. I hate swallowing pills which is why …

• Yep, it’s good for a lot of things. Just today, I made a natural tooth powder out of MSM. It is MSM, pink salt and some cinammmon (for taste). MSM is great for teeth. You can buy it is toothpaste now. I have also heard of people using it in eye drop…

• Zoe – they say it works better with vitamin c. I don’t like to juice o.j. all the time so I thought I would give the camu camu powder a try. Something different too since I haven’t had it before. I don’t think I get enough vitamin C – I do eat a lot…

• I am on my second week on MSM. I have up-ed my dosage to 1/2 teaspoon twice daily. I am noticing the best way to take it is in water and freshly squeezed lemon – than I don’t taste it at all. The taste doesn’t bother me too much though. I have also …

• You are supposed to cut it where it would naturally split open. There should be some zig-zaggy brown lines running on each side longways from stem to bottom. Then you are supposed to ‘pry’ it open with your hands but this is only really possible wit…

• Donna, You can read about probiotic here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probiotic Basically, you can use it to ferment foods and it is supposed to add a “good” bacteria to your system. (the short way of explaining it). I use it to make ‘sour’ or ‘tan…
