• I think I still love Seinfeld reruns best of all. Every episode has something in it that has become part of the mainstream vernacular….yada yada yada,,,, Oh and yeah I love House. I think House and I were separated at birth, (lol!)

• Was that by any chance from ‘CSI’? I can’t stand that show. But yeah I agree.. scary synopsis. Where is the love?!! Such violence directed towards a beautiful amazing mass of energy aka the human body. But wait.. maybe you meant that the human body …

• Allnatural, you are not alone.;C) I’m sure you know at this point that food is not really the problem right? (Its a focal point for managing emotions that feel like they are going to “swallow’ you up.) Eating raw has really helped me have a healthie…

• Tessa, There is a raw pop tart recipe on this site under desserts you could check out. I made my own raw jam the other day by blending a bunch of raspberries and a few dates together adding water until the consistency was spreadable. Then I dehydrat…

• Hi morning_theft, I’m with dea. Totally normal and a good sign I think. Same thing happened to me. My guess is he will start feeling even better soon. Good luck with the process.

• I’m with coconutty. I’d pay attention to food combining.Since going raw my already sensitive digestive system has become even more intolerant of poor food combinations. On the plus side mono meals are not a hardship because my tastebuds are much mor…

• So true about the lovely avocado! They are the best. But they always get such a bad rap. Poor simple little fruit. ;c)

• I had the 10 year IUD inserted and it worked beautifully for 4 1/2 years. Then all of a sudden my body started rejecting it and I started bleeding heavily and had to have it removed. At that point my husband agreed to have a vasectomy. We have 3 kid…

• Coconutty, Try checking out one of the books by Byron Katie. I just finished ‘One thousand names for Joy” Her perspective and recommendations are practically/deceptively simple but ultimately paradigm shifting. In my humble opinion she does a terrif…

• Hi Reba, I do ( or did ) make dressings using either olive oil or an avocado.(Altho’ many recipes combine avocado and oil together I usually omit the oil in avo dressings) This seemed to work for me for the past year. I lost weight and maintained wi…

• Hi again Socal, Your points are well taken. I did not mean to leave you with the impression that I don’t consume sugars in their healthy form. In fact my typical daily menu is alomost exactly like yours with lots of fresh fruits eaten alone, often a…

• Hey Socal, Thanks for your feedback! I confess some of the experts advice becomes murky for me here. I have read about Doug’s plan but I have read elsewhere that dried fruit and nuts can be combined only preferrably on an empty stomach. Argh! As reg…

  in too much fat? help!! Comment by Marichiesa
• I would add to this to watch your sugar consumption, even in the form of ‘good’ sugars. I have found that my body can handle oils and several avocados a week but if I start eating to much agave sweetened things or even dates the weight will creep ba…

• Rawdoll, Psyllium is pretty demanding stuff on our digestive systems. I would tread carefully. What is your purpose in using it? If fiber look into flax seeds,apples like dancharming said.

• I’m adding my two cents again too. Previously I had raved about my blendtec. I do think it blends most things well but a year into moderate use and it is leaking oil on powerful speeds. I’m pretty irked considering the cost of this appliance. So I w…

  in Anyone try Blend Tec vs Vitamix? Comment by Marichiesa
• Love my blend-tec! Best appliance I’v ever owned. I praise it daily. (Some think its a little weird) That being said I still love my champion juicer. Sometimes I just want juice. No pulp. No straining. Also it can’t be beat for making frozen banana …

• Sweetpea, Is Hing hard to find? Would Whole Foods have a clue? It sounds like something I’d like to try to avoid nutritional yeast as well as nuts. Thanks!
