  • What is the texture like? I’m curious ‘cause I tried a brand from the local asian market near me and I did not care for the taste at all. They were WAY chewy and smelled ‘off’. I like most everything and I love seaweed so I was frustrated by this ex…

  • Congratulations K-mom! Welcome Baraan! Enjoy the ride. :O)
  • I tried Blue dolfins trick with the paint strainer and it worked liked a charm. Cheap too !
  • Philly burbs. So glam.;o)
  • Hi all, I think humanimal’s idea about the master cleanse is a good one. Basically anything that cleans out the liver and levels the playing field can’t hurt right. Regarding the shangri-la thing. I drink oil in water not sugar. The sugar/fructose g…
  • Hey Mango Woman, I understand your frustration. After 3 kids I had 15 lbs to drop that just was not moving. I ate well, did yoga the whole routine. And nothing. One year ago at Borders I literally stumbled upon what has now become quite popular. The…
  • Hey Istorz, I like what you’ve written! You’ve really nailed it. Thx.
  • Hi Ilikenuts, I think you are a very brave and strong woman to bring this topic up. It also makes me think that you are far stronger than you realize and you have the ability to be a whole person in the face of any criticism you may feel from others…
  • If you are going to eat ‘em I’d look for the unsulphured variety at Whole Foods ( or any health food store ) Sun Maid brand have additives that you don’t need.

  • Thanks Lucy for the clarification. I will try the salt water the way you did. I’m 9 months raw too and I’ve done juice fasting, liver cleansing all with really good results. BUT..for some reason in the past month my digestion has been really bad. I’…
  • I’m totally confused. I went to curezone and the recipes I read recommended 1 quart of water with 2 teaspoons of sea salt. Thats a big difference than 12 ounces of water and 2 Tablespoons. Help! Since the taste makes me gag but I seriously need the …
  • I’m no expert but it is my understanding that raw corn does not digest as a starch-y food. This is info that I gathered from the food combining principals school of thought. If true I don’t think its a bad thing. I have a super wacky digestive syste…

  • HaHaHa, Makes me want to dance ” Rubba Band Man..rubba band man” Or does hearing that song in my head just make me seem really oooold? Were you making a Blendtec video for You tube or what?!:O)
  • Will you please post your recipe if it turns out as you hope? It sounds wonderful!

  • I think your food combinations are pretty good actually! I would definately soak the nuts. It may seem like a pain but its really worth it. Also I agree with Gypsy. Watch the fruit too closely on the heels of a previous meal. Ideally you should wait…
  • Do you currently practice food combining? While its not neccessary for everyone perhaps as your body has become cleaner in the last 3 months it is now quite sensitive to certain food combinations. Just a thought…..
  • That Gorilla sandwich is the coolest idea I’ve seen in a while! Fun!
  • Glad you liked it! It cheered me up too.
  • Wow, that’s interesting. Mine have been receding too but I just attributed it to turning 40! But diet huh? Hmmm. My hygenist did not seem troubled. Perhaps it will stabilize soon. Sort of like hair thinning during detox. Guess I’ll start oil pulling…
    in gums receeding Comment by Marichiesa
  • Hey Guys, I actually agree with everything you have said. My only concern is that many people ‘grow’ into this way of eating gradually and the purist ‘all or nothing’ mentality can really frighten people away. The cult-ish feel that some raw foodist…

  • Me too. Super slow if not impossible to load. Help Please!! Thx.
    in Site Problems? Comment by Marichiesa
  • mygreenmojo, I confess to a love of sashimi too which I indulge in consciously once in a blue moon. I’ve never had raw lobster ( much less caught my own lobster-IMPRESSIVE!) Do sushi bars sells lobster sashimi? My step sister studied marine biology …

  • Great post spiritedmama. Thanks for your take.;o)

    in Frozen Corn Comment by Marichiesa
  • Wow, acne? Bummer. So…have you tried any other nut in ‘ice creams’ as a base? I tried using soaked blended almonds but the consistency was too mealy. I have made versions with coconut meat or avacado and they are good just not as decadent tasting as…
    in Cashew Reaction Comment by Marichiesa
  • Yup, cashews are all done for me I’m afraid. Its amazing what our bodies will tell us is good/not good if we pay attention!
    in Cashew Reaction Comment by Marichiesa
  • Check out www.realrawfood.com for unheated/un-chemical almonds as well.And isn’t it just ridiculous how orwellian this whole almond pasteurization fiasco is? Good grief its probably more likely that a person could be run over by a garbage truck than…
    in Raw Almonds Comment by Marichiesa
  • Try www.Organicpastures.com for really raw almonds. They are not cheap but maybe if you split an order with a friend? I seem to recall another organic farmer who was bucking this ruling too. I’ll try and locate that site for you.

  • mothergoose, Could the extra long period be one way of your body detoxing? Good Luck sticking with raw foods for you and your husband! I hope it helps you both.;o)
