• Katt, Good for you deciding to be raw. I have two friends who recently went raw, both are diabetic and their blood sugar went to normal within a day or two of the raw diet. One of them has had diabetes for over 7 years, and even on meds had blood su…

• numptellie13, Yes, it’s a crime. But be thankful you have only 5 fillings to replace. I had a mouthful, it took forever. The money part of it hurt, but not remotely as much as the strain of having all that dental work done. Ugh! I’ve found the best …

  in Fabric for Nut Mylk Bags? Comment by greenie
• Thank you Freesia and rawmama, I should have been clearer in my initial post: I’m looking for the fabric used in the nut milk bags that are sold by the Boutenkos and others. It’s nylon, not cheesecloth. Cheesecloth is not at all the same, it’s not a…

• teade, The diet you describe is similar to the one Dr. Fuhrman recommends. (drfuhrman.com) I’ve read his books and I like him because he’s a naturopath and MD. I don’t agree with everything he says, but I do know many folks who thrive on that diet. …

• I was just thinking today how I would like a natural dryer sheet. Unfortunately it looks like those dryer balls aren’t the answer either: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/09/nellie_… You inspired me to Google this, and here’s what I came up with…

• I’m happiest when I start the day with a glass of orange juice and then have a big fruit salad for lunch. The fruit salad usually consists of 2-4 pieces of fruit and a few dates. For some reason, eating the fruit out of hand doesn’t work. It has to …

• I agree with Elizabethh that the birth control pills and accutane could have messed seriously with your metabolism/hormones and liver. It might also be interesting to keep a diet and exercise log. You might be surprised when you ‘do the math’.

• I love adding flower petals to my salads, but only the ones I grow myself. I love them for the vitality they add, not the taste.

• I’m starting a fast/cleanse – Master Cleanse and also some juice. I’d really prefer a juice feast but I’m too lazy to do all that juicing. Today is day 1. Yay!

• I can’t join you on the 25th (today) but will be starting my own MC soon. I’ve done many fasts and MCs before and the salt never worked for me. I did it exactly as prescribed and it never just washed through, my body absorbed the salt and felt very …

• This meal satisfies me like nothing else: A big fruit salad with 2-4 fruits and a few dates. If I’m really hungry, I’ll add some avocado. You could also add nut cream. This meal satisfies me completely – I’m full, light, energized and not hungry for…

• And, who knows?-it may be unrelated to what you ate. FWIW, the very best bodywork/exercise I have found is in this book:http://tinyurl.com/yqxf27 The author studied with Feldenkreis and is brilliant. He discovered that a lot of muscular pain and pro…

  in Shoulder Pain... Comment by greenie
• Shoulder pain, especially the right shoulder, is often associated with gall bladder problems. Also, if you eat foods you cannot digest, it can blow some of the acupuncture meridians and show up as pain along the meridian.

• Hollis, Here’s one self-watering sprouter. IIRC, you need to hook it up to your sink or other water supply. It has mixed reviews: http://www.wheatgrasskits.com/sprouting/freshli…

• deborahann, alix1962, and everyone: Thank you for your replies. I was looking at the sproutmaster site (or some site that sells sproutmaster) and they say one of the oxo salad spinners gets rid of the hulls. I have the larger OXO salad spinner and I…

  in Searching for a Sprouting System Comment by greenie
• I used to sprout but gave up because I can’t figure out a quick and easy way to get the hulls off the sprouts. I mostly sprouted alfalfa and mung. I used jars and the hemp bags. The seeds sprouted well, but the sprouts were all mixed in with the hul…

• cannibalwarrior and jenny are correct. The ‘blank’ referred to is simply a blank piece of plastic instead of a screen, so the food is ground up very fine and ejected as juicy pulp instead of juice out of the spout and dry pulp elsewhere. Processing …

• My friend makes almond milk from almonds that are truly sprouted, not just soaked. She says it takes about 5 days for a little nub of a sprout to appear on the almonds. So the live raw almonds do sprout but it takes a long time. I’m not sure there’s…
