• By the way, did you see those articles about nalgene last week? They’re pulling it off the shelves because they found it’s actually toxic, too. I could always taste the plastic when I drank out of one of those.

• rawmama, The Siggs are aluminum outside but are lined with a non-reactive liner. Sigg doesn’t say what that consists of (company secret), just that it is non-reactive. I’ve kept a Sigg bottle filled with water in my car, in the hot summer, and the w…

• I use quart sized canning jars – all glass. The same ones that heartshapedsky uses. I get them at Walmart. I like the wide-mouthed kind. I also use them for nut/seed etc. storage. Glass is completely non-reactive.

• Roxi, I tried a few of them several years ago, including the electric Omega. I think I paid about $150 for it. I never found one that worked easily. They would all jam. It took easily a half hour to get an ounce or two of juice, including the clean …

• Ovaries – you just ovulate from one ovary at a time so you would have pain on one side only. Do you have a rebounder or a chi machine? Those both flush the lymphatic system. I agree on getting it checked if it doesn’t clear up soon. Safety first.

• I do well with the Sigg bottles, too. I’ve left a Sigg bottle with water in it in my hot car in the summer for 2+ weeks and the water was fine to drink. Unbelievable.

• Your local gardening centers are the best places for local advice. See if you can find a good organic gardening group. Your local HFS/Whole Foods may also have contacts on their bulletin boards. You can also ask them for the names of local growers, …

• I wasn’t at all hungry for breakfast, so no food. I had 3 small flax crackers with almond pate on them for lunch. About midafternoon I had a shake with hazelnut milk, raw cacao, agave, and maca. (All gloriously alive and very yummy!) Around 6 PM I h…

• You don’t want window screens. The metal could be toxic. I think the best way to do this would be to build a box out of metal screening to keep out the insects, with notches for racks. Build cheesecloth or nylon mesh trays to put on the racks. Put t…

• How about building a screened-in box to prevent pests or animals from getting to the food. Then line the bottom of the box with aluminum foil to reflect the sun and make a hotter drier area. And then have mesh trays in the box, much like regular deh…

• rachel, By ‘used to be’ I mean I just haven’t checked them out lately. When I used them years ago they were fine. They may still be great, I just don’t know. I noticed that Mountain Rose Herbs have a few shampoos that are without Sodium Lauryl Sulfa…

• Rachel, Yes, I juice the lemon. If it’s a very large lemon, I use less than half. It’s a refreshing start to the day and helps flush the colon too (but gently). I’ve found for me anyhow sticking to fruit in the morning is best. If I’m really hungry …

• Most scents are highly toxic. In fact many of the perfumes and lotions, “natural” included, contain ingredients that have to be disposed of as toxic waste! I don’t know why you are just suddenly having a reaction but IMHO it’s a good idea to stay aw…

• IMHO juices are ok and also herbal teas. Are you able to just rest? That’s the most important thing. That’s the purpose behind fasting – it rests the system.

  in exercising with a cold Comment by greenie
