  • I bought some of the nylon nutmilk bags and they work wonderfully, no funny taste. I squeeze the milk out into a bowl—the milk is creamy and very smoothe. The bags rinse out quickly and very clean. I imagine cheesecloth would be impossible to clean,…
  • I’ve had gallstones and removed them with the oil flush rawjoy mentions. It’s safer to do a cleanse for 1-2 days before. Drink lots of fresh apple juice or cider, not the bottled kind but the stuff you juice yourself (best) or buy in the refrigerate…

  • You can also shred them and use them as filling for a nori roll.

  • I would think it’s a natural for crackers, just mix with some flax to bind it, and add whatever spices and seasonings you want; then spread out on the dehydrator to make crackers.

  • What kinds of cooked soup do you usually like? I like creamy, garlicky foods and I adore celery. So my raw soups usually start with a nut milk base, and then I add garlic, celery, salt, lime juice, and whatever other veggies and seasonings I feel li…

  • Waring used to make blenders with glass carafes. I don’t know if they still do.
  • Morning_theft, Well, your photo cheered me up. It looks like the cat I had when I was in college years ago, exactly like him. He was the best cat ever, and your picture was an upper for me. I don’t know if that cheers you up, but I hope it does, eve…

  • germin8, According to the naturopath I saw, the salt, sugar, artificial thises and thats, toxins in the diet acted as stimulants.

  • Debbie, Congratulations on making it through your first week, and for your decision. And, yes, what you are experiencing is one of the common ways to detox. The first time I went raw I was exhausted for months. I would have got through it faster if …

  • Fasting or just drinking liquids really helps me when I have a cold, and also colon cleansing. If you must eat, stick to fruit. Also the nasya that humanimal suggested is very good. Jirizarry, I find doing the nasya (neti) without salt hurts my sinu…
  • When I make soups I usually put in lots of celery, which gives it body and some saltiness; and some fresh basil, garlic, onion. Sometimes some fresh ginger root. I never liked bouillion cubes so I don’t know if all the above is a good substitute.

  • I agree with debbietook. Science looks at what they can see in a microscope. So they take one isolated ingredient, test that, and draw conclusions about it. They have not discovered all there is about carrots or anything else for that matter. Scient…
  • I just use water. Once in a great while if my face feels oily I’ll use a little natural soap from the HFS. BTW, when you said you ‘started no poo’ for a moment I thought you meant you were constipated.
  • forrestlyone: Thank you for that link. I went there thinking ‘Aha! I’ll bet they did studies on one or more elements of the tea, not the tea itself’ but I was wrong. There was plenty of good research showing benefits of those teas. Those millions wh…
  • humanimal— Not to worry about something that does this: “have never felt so bad in my life, it felt worse than the worst hangover I ever had in my life. My head was spinning, hands were shaking, my heart was pounding,...”?? I wouldn’t be so quick to…
  • Fruit, just fruit, so simple, so satisfying. I never feel better than when I’m eating just fruit. Especially fruit straight off the tree. I’m staying at a place in Sedona right now with a beautiful pear tree, the fruit ripe and perfect. Nectar!
  • Zoe, I can’t wait for some recipes from you and your cookbook because I love Indian food. To have it raw will be just awesome. Mango woman, you may just need to go to those restaurants and ask for a raw veggie plate. Be sure to eat plenty before you…

  • I used to almost gag when I drank it but now it tastes ok. I didn’t force myself to drink it when it tasted bad, so it’s not an acquired taste. I’ve heard that once you’ve purified a bit it tastes more palatable. My personal opinion is that you can …
  • Missthomas86: You could try a mono diet for a while, cut out all food for a day or two (just water fast), and then introduce one fruit at a time, then slowly add other foods to see how your body tolerates them. It may be that your body is fine with …

  • Lucy, thanks for the link. I’m coming back to raw after a long absence and this site is really helping. Rawgramma, Doncha love it when non-raw SAD eaters go wild for your food? I almost always prepare raw when friends come over and it’s so satisfyin…

  • I just ordered her book based on your recommendations and the reviews on Amazon. I like that the reviews say her stuff is simple to make. I also ordered her book on web design. This is a great site, but it’s costing me money!

  • I don’t have fibromyalgia but had pain in my arms and legs since I was a small girl. I went raw and salt-free in 1971 and within 6 weeks all pain was gone. I attribute it to being salt-free too. Unfortunately I stayed raw only for about 2 years then…

  • I have the spirooli, the smaller Benriner, and also the Saladacco. I always use the spirooli because it’s so much easier. What I like about the spirooli is that the blades come in attached assemblies that slide into the cutting area. This makes it a…
