• Joannabanana, how much fat are you eating daily to improve your hands? I have the same problem although I'm not doing 811.

• Joanna, I don't know how you can even stand listening to your teacher! It must drive you absolutely bonkers. Or maybe you feel you have a purpose in life--educating the so-called educator. I wish you lots of restraint as you must feel like correctin…

• Lobo, I fast once a week. According to Paul Bragg (The Miracle of Fasting) it is an amazing way to attain glorious health. Eventually, I will try fasting 5 to 7 days four times a year. My last fast was dry and I felt absolutely great the next day.

• Like Fee, I love this thread too. It has some great ideas for meals that real people actually eat, especially really simple ones. I think it's cool how some people are so honest admitting the SAD things as well as the RAW things they've consumed. It…

• One of John Robbins books (Diet for a New America, I think) mentions that after it came out, meat consumption in America decreased by about 20%. Then the deep pockets of the meat lobby threw out their propaganda confusing people saying things like "…

• Fascinating!!! Reminds me of the whole Codex issue. Makes me want to move to my 160 acre parcel in Saskatchewan and live self-sufficiently until I die naturally at the ripe old age of 150. But hey, I guess we just have to bloom where we're planted. …

• Sergei Boutenko, who had been diagnosed with Type 1 but never took insulin, went Raw overnight (see the book Raw Family by Victoria Boutenko) and suffered quite alot for a few days. My son, who is also Type 1 (for 8 years now), went RAW overnight as…

  in Another diabetes question Comment by rawfreak4fr
• According to Victoria Boutenko (in Green For Life) the redness of your pee is an indication of how much hydrochloric acid your stomach has. The redder it is the less you have. Drinking green smoothies actually increases the acid. I myself have notic…

• I actually signed up for your Newsletter this morning--I'm from Edmonton and may someday take a class or two.

  in Raw food classes Comment by rawfreak4fr
• Victoria Boutenko's book Green for Life is all about using greens for smoothies--not only lettuce but radish, carrot, and beet tops, parsley, celery....the list goes on. These greens are nutritional powerhouses probably as good as any so called supe…

• It's a different journey for each individual who chooses to go RAW and you should not fall into the trap of comparing yourself to others who have been RAW for years. Whenever you fall into cooked food eating, don't beat yourself up--take it as a lea…

• I bought tooth powder from Frederic Patenaude. The ingredients listed on one of the bottles was: baking soda, salt (of course not the regular table salt), and peppermint. When the bottle runs out, I'll save my money and just combine bs and sea salt.…

• Of course Tonya is out to sell her beauty products, but you can just probably just adopt the some of the many suggestions in her books--I got them from our local library so I only had to pay my overdue fines!!

  in hormonal aging and skin Comment by rawfreak4fr
• Tonya Zavasta in her books (e.g.Your Right to be Beautiful: Miracle of raw foods) says our dislike of the effects of old age is due to the fact that they are not really natural. If we have the proper lifestyle we won't suffer these aging curses to t…

• I'm not sure it was too sexy. After all, I'm sure there are other commercials out there that are just as (if not more ) explicit. It was probably that the message was too hot to handle for most of those who play and watch the Superbowl. Too many car…

• When I first went RAW I intended to be 100% into perpetuity. But, let's face it--we lived in a cooked world (in fact, I still cook for half of my family). Since I've lived for 46 years eating SADly, I have many years of habits that are very hard to …

• Just like you don't tell an obese person that they are fat you do not have to shove your unconventional lifestyle into your Mom's face. I don't mean to sound harsh, but that is what you seem to be doing. Just let the benefits of RAW speak for themse…

• Ha Saraw , how true! I'm also married to one. Just because I turned RAW doesn't mean I can impose my (better) way of eating on him and the kids--actually, two of my kids are trying to be RAW with me. It is hard with all the temptations around (Skipp…
