• Source Naturals has a supplement called “theanine serene” that is absolutely wonderful for anxiety. Most health food stores should have it in the “mood” section of the vitamins/supplements. For me it is almost as effective as prescription anti-anxie…

• I agree that this sounds like classic detox! I’ve been raw for a while, but I just started a juice fast and have ended up with some pretty hefty detox myself. I highly recommend detox baths, green juices, and warm lemon water. Those are what is gett…

• I’m extra sensitive to raw garlic, too, and it makes me so sad to admit that to myelf! I love the taste of garlic, but every time I eat it I regret it soon after. As soon as I’ve eaten it, I even find just the smell on my hands nauseating. I was thi…

• I’ve read that chia seed can be substituted in any recipe calling for flaxseed. I’ve never tried it myself, but I’m looking forward to trying it in breads and cakes, as I don’t love the taste of flaxseed either.

• Sure you can—it’s very easy! There are several ways to do it—the best method depends a bit on the fruits you’d like to use and the consistency you want. One of the simplest ways is just to re-hydrate dried fruits in a bit of warm water. After they h…

• BirdOfParadise, I’m having the same trouble—raw sesame seeds and tahini just taste terrible to me. It’s very sad, though, because I absolutely loved the taste of cooked tahini—it baffles me that I could love one so much, yet dislike the other so str…

• Oh, Skizzy, what a great idea! I’m lazy with dishes, so I always try to clean my juicer before I drink my juice, but I never realized I could save myself some time and effort by soaking the screen! Thanks! I’m also glad so many people are into the O…

• I’ve had it since May, but I’ve only used it regularly since July or so (it was an unexpected gift). At first I thought clean up was going to be a drag—the juicer itself has 6 parts to dismantle and clean, plus the containers for pulp and juice. But…

• I love my Omega 8003—it’s much like a Green Star, but at $200-$250 new, it is much cheaper than the Green Star. It’s particularly effective at juicing greens, and will even juice wheatgrass. It also has a homogenizing function, so you can make nut b…

• I love pomegranate in both savory and sweet salads—I don’t mind the chewing at all. And it is so beautiful! I think the kernels look like jewels. I do usually wait until the very end to sprinkle the kernels on or mix them in—that way they stay plump…

• I think dehydrating coconut and nuts with a sweet coating might start to get you going in the right direction. Soaked and dehydrated nuts are much closer to the texture of roasted nuts, and for me, when they are coated with a sweet or savory flavor,…
