• Cool! I hate math too and I so suck at it. I can’t tell you how much “math torture” I went through when I was trying to do my degree in Biology only to find I couldn’t pass chemistry to save my life (I failed it like three times) and ended up switch…

• I haven’t read all the post but I remember how we were ranting about school in the Into the wild thread. Since you are so close to finsihing, yes, just go and finish. A degree of any sort can also come in handy in some way. Never know when you are g…

• Yes, you can use coconut oil. There is avocado and banana that works great. Once I put a whole avocado in my great and it worked great except since I don’t shampoo, it was too concentrated and took several days to diminish from my hair. Same deal wi…

• My bf was more raw when I met him than I was – I was sort of resistant to it as I was just going vegan at the time and he was a bit too pushy about some of my habit (ie coffee) and I would get mad that he was pushing me into it to fast. But I still …

• That makes sense about the nail polish – it is all that alcohol in the polish that would do it. But who really want to poison themselves by putting toxic nail polish on their skin? Never heard about the garlic though. Hmm, interesting!

• Yeah, pretty grotty pics eh? :) here is the Bio-T site: http://www.no-moles.com/ I have a few moles removed not with the herb though – my derm removed it (one got ripped off by accident – long story – it was near the bra strap area – haha! cheapest …

• I am one of those PRO-SALT raw foodies! I feel better when I have salt and I love it. People have this old fear of salt because the SAD salt (white, processed salt) is so bad for you. The water that is in our bodies most closely resembles sea water.…

• heyenglish- You have friends here! Don’t worry – you will get the hang of it. It is unfortunate but it almost expected that you will lose friends and maybe family members when you change like this. My friends were none to thrilled when I went vegeta…

• I have a small patch of pink and scaly skin near my hair line in the back of my neck – needless to say, it has not been going away. The coconut oil didn’t work on it. What does seem to work is shea butter. I would give that a try too. For the hair, …

• OMIGOD – yes, the arcylic nails are bad for you! I used to wear them back in my hair dresser days. Honestly almost ALL nail products are bad in some degree – the worst are the arcylic nails and the glue ones (bad because of the glue). Being right ne…

• MSM = Methylsulfonylmethane. This is basically organic sulfur. All humans are deficient in this because of our current modern farming practices and our depleted soil. MSM is destroyed by cooking so most people are deficient in it. The raw diet suppl…

• my bf said it is bad to “re-freeze” things that were frozen before. So, like the durian, if you got frozen durian, would be bad to refreeze after thawing it once. Otherwise, if it was fresh durian, that is OK. Durian is usually frozen when shipped o…
