• james3112, I think it’s great you’re exploring this. I can completely understand and respect your interest in doing this right and getting what you need from your diet. Try the wai diet and see how it suits you. That’s my insight. I’m not a huge fan…

• It’s definitely not healthy for the animal.

• Are you referring to garden moles or skin moles? Not that it matters – I don’t know how to get rid of either ;^)

  in How do you get rid of moles naturally? Comment by greenie
• I use Naturtint. I haven’t done research on it but I’ve heard it’s better than the other stuff. I get it at Vitaglo for about half the cost of my local HFS.

• I agree with rawkidchef that almond milk will work best. I’ve also been using pumpkin seed milk, which believe it or not tastes pretty neutral and creamy. You know it’s really really easy to make raw ice cream from the raw nut milk, sweeteners and f…

• I live in a small space, too. I tried the 9-tray Excalibur and had to get rid of it – it was way too noisy. The 4-tray model is fine for me. It is an excellent machine and is large enough for my needs. The 4-tray model doesn’t have an on/off switch.…

• A lot of the tomato crop is genetically engineered. Best to go organic with that one. A lot of the farmer’s market people who are otherwise organic are not careful about where they get their seed. You need to ask about that.

• My tricks for a creamier pate: 1) Add oil when processing the nuts (the nuts have been soaked and drained, by the way); and 2) Process them for a looonnnggg time 3) Add some yeast or probiotics at the end of the processing, then turn the mixture out…

• ambergirl, The current understanding of allergies is that they are caused by a buildup of toxins. The food or substance that triggers an attack is rarely the one really causing it, it’s rather the straw that broke the camel’s back. In other words, y…

• I’ve been using pumpkin seeds lately and boy is it good. If you don’t have a high speed blender and are really lazy, you can stir some raw nut butter into water with some agave. I haven’t tried that but I understand it’s good.

• Some of the worst stuff is in detergents and those dryer sheets. Blech!

• Ok, I’m on an (unscented!) soapbox now. Here’s an excerpt from one of the sites on perfume toxicity: “Tests conducted at Anderson Laboratories of West Hartford, Vermont in 1998, researchers determined that emissions from fragrances caused various co…

• Beany and queenfluff, I’m also sensitive to perfumes and scents, including the ‘natural’ ones. Some of the scents leave me gasping and sneezing, and/or with a headache and sore throat. But even when it doesn’t make me sick, I just can’t stand it. It…

• Bananna, thank you for the links. I think some of the Waring blenders have a glass carafe option, but the blenders themselves may not be as powerful as the Vitamix and Blendtec. They also may have some plastic parts – the blade housing and lid, for …

• Browne911, How do you know the Blendtec container has BPA?? rawbie, The Blendtec is such a better machine, IMHO it’s worth checking out the BPA rumor before just accepting it as gospel. If it turns out to be true, I’m going to call Blendtec to see i…

• So which one are you going to get?

  in Blendtec or VitaMix? Comment by greenie
• RawK said it all and better than I could. One more thing: The Vitamix has a tamper, and you need it. The Blendtec is so well designed you don’t need a tamper. I love my Blendtec. Some friends with a Vitamix sold it and bought a Blendtec after they t…

  in Blendtec or VitaMix? Comment by greenie
• The Champion doesn’t handle leafy veggies well at all. The K-Tec or Vitamix are great at juicing greens. You just need to add a little water to get the blender going and they pulverize those babies pronto. Then you have the choice of drinking it as …

• The best test for thyroid is taking your temperature. If it’s low, your thyroid isn’t working properly. There is a lot more to this than taking meds. A lot of people who take the thyroid meds do not get better, even though their thyroid tests come b…

• Paxton, I’ve done WW before and OMG the WW food is revolting. I tasted one of their little snack cakes once and instantly felt ill—my throat got sore and I felt like I was going to heave. Yuck! First off, most people totally underestimate how much f…

• Paxton, I think it depends on the juicer. Norman Walker created his juicer specifically to break the cell walls and said that other juicers couldn’t do that. I had a Norwalk briefly (sold it, it was too much of a pain to use). It made the best juice…

  in Will juicing raw greens 'break the cell walls'? Comment by greenie
• I haven’t tried it. Notice that the shipping adds about $25, so you’ll be spending around $90; and that the thermostat has a much narrower range than the Excalibur.

  in ADVICE ON EBAY DEHYDRATOR?? Comment by greenie
• Have you tried Lavalin? It’s a natural deodorant you only need to use about once every 3-5 days. I’ve used it for years. I’m not very smelly or sweaty, but it works for me.

• Dr. Joel Fuhrman is a naturopath and MD. I think he’s in the NJ area. He doesn’t advocate 100% raw, but he’s pretty close. His website is drfuhrman.com

• I had a Champion and second what Aziah says. I tried juice from a friend’s green star and I swear it tasted of plastic. Many of the parts are plastic. It was also a pain to clean up and use. A few years ago, I picked up an old Norwalk juicer at a ga…

• I agree at least 500% with Zoe. I’ve traveled in India twice, staying for almost a year. It’s amazing, blissful, wonderful—and a huge physical challenge. Wait until after your trip to have the baby.
