• It wasn't the coconut oil. Coconut oil is excellent for your face. I use it on my face and have heard people with oily skin use it also. And it has antibacterial qualities so I think that would be even better. I have eczema and I am allergic to natu…

• I think it's in our genetic code to like vegetables since its what we are meant to eat! It just takes a little retraining of the tastebuds. I also think that you DO have to try things more than once to get a true idea of them as someone here already…

  in Taste buds? Comment by Pirawna
• Yes, water. But I sometimes I add a bit of colloidal silver, aloe vera, or GSE, rosewater, etc to the water. I carry a little mister and hemp butter in my purse to always have on hand.

  in I'm Feeling Worse, not Better Comment by Pirawna
• Virgin coconut oil should be readily available at your local health food stores also. I have eczema and it really helps to eat it in my diet as well as use on my body. Also, I have mister bottles around and in my purse to mist my skin before patting…

• I think it may be Karen knowler's site that talks about how she started gaining on raw and had to change her approach. She has picture that shows a chubby little raw person! When I first started I had 8 pounds melt away so easy and my diet was like …

• I think the difference between fresh grape juice or just grapes would be the fermentation. I figure if Jesus drank wine, I should drink wine! Okay, TOTALLY kidding on that one. But I'm not giving up my wine. I remember when I used to medical transcr…

• blending your soul if you gaze into the Vitamix! Ha! My VM is my pride and joy I got over 10 years ago. Leftover veggie pulps from the juicer can be put into your crackers that you dehydrate. Ezekial tortillas are not raw, but I like that the grains…

  in Calories when 100% raw Comment by Pirawna
• Yes to the Vitamix. I got mine over 11 years ago when I hadn't even heard of the whole raw diet yet. And I LOVE it. I got a cheap spiralizer. I also got a cheap dehydrater with temp. control from walmart for only 40 bucks when I first started. Just …

• If superfood is addressing my comment, then I am pretty sure it was not your statement I saw. I know you do the 811 and always state the benefits of it. INformation is always a good thing. The statement I saw was ' high fat raw is just AS BAD as a S…

  in food combining Comment by Pirawna
• A high fat raw diet is not as bad as a SAD diet. I don't remember now where i saw that statement here, but I disagree completely. If that was the case, I wouldn't have lost 10 pounds and felt 10x better when I first started raw and it was high-fat r…

• Yea, I have coconut butter and coconut oil in my pantry. They are different items. Oil is just the oil. Butter has meat in it.

  in opinions about coconut water Comment by Pirawna
• I always use the carton coconut water in my smoothies. Many people dehyrate breads at 145 for the first hour before lowering. I often read that keeping things below 118 degrees is keeping it raw. So 120 is pretty close and for only a couple seconds.…

  in Some Inspiration Comment by Pirawna
• This is definitely a good recipe I have made many times. I have an issue with calling foods things they are not though. It turns off many of the SAD eaters I try to feed. So I call these jicama mashers. Because as awesome as they are, they don't tas…
