  • A reviewer of the oxo good grips julienne peeler gave this handy tip on how to use a julienne peeler: Place peeled carrot (or other vegetable) flat on cutting board. Use a fork to anchor one end of the carrot, then use the julienne peeler to cut lo…

  • Nutritiondata.com is a USDA ‘approved’ and sponsored website – therefore I am not surprised at the sadly misguided slant of this article and all of the inaccuracies reported. No disrespect meant to you for sharing though Angie. Au contraire – it …

  • OK… bug girl’s entry today is a bit risqué! lol She wrote about “lovely butterflies gettin’ it on”. I know that there are rather sensitive folks who may be taken back about that one (can’t say I’m one of them though actually), but honestly she gen…

  • Great comment Chris! All life is worthy of respect! :) I had commented in sunshinerose’s post about Boycotting Bee Pollen that Many people do not realize how dependent we are on insects and, sadly, they are not typically the most respected creatur…

  • Yes, thanks bluedolfin and Ray. I had figured out the ‘why’ of why strikethrough happens as I stated above (it’s the “dashtextdash” thing). I started this post simply as an FYI to just let others know about it in case they wanted to fix any of thei…

  • Hi KathyKath, I believe that if you buy them already dehydrated then you run the risk of them having been dehydrated at an excessively high temperature – thus killing all of the live enzymes and sort-of defeating the purpose of the rawness of the to…
    in Sun-dried tomatoes... ?!? Comment by greenghost
  • Yes – those crackers are great aren’t they! :) But generally if a person eats too many calories – of any kind – they will gain weight. If you are eating just until you are full (and not stuffed) and you get a good balance of greens, veggies, fruit,…
    in can i eat too many carbs on raw? Comment by greenghost
  • Yes, thanks for sharing this information. I have never purchased or tried Bee Pollen, but after reading your entry I don’t believe I will ever do so (unless I can get it from someone conscientious like Winona’s friend). I feel grateful to just be ab…
    in Please boycott bee pollen! Comment by greenghost
  • Gee – this one really hits home for me. Two years ago I was hospitalized for 3 months with a broken back and considering the ‘diet’ they gave me I’m amazed I healed enough to leave! And the scariest part is that these places have paid “dietitians”…

  • Thank you Carmentina for posting about this. It is very upsetting, but we need to be aware of this kind of exploitation. I just signed the petition. ps: I haven’t personally bought any Kellogg’s products in years, but I’m happy to make them aware t…

  • Hi – I had written before, but it was during the server-change so I think my message was deleted… Basically I said I was sorry that I do not have a doctor to suggest because I live in NY, but I wish you all the best in finding one… If you haven’…
    in Looking for an MD who believes in RAW Comment by greenghost
  • That does sound rather scary. You can be in the best shape, but just one mango for breakfast probably is not nearly enough for that kind of work-out. It’s also important to drink a lot of water in a hot/humid climate like Florida. Be very careful…
    in EMERGENCY PLEASE HELP! Comment by greenghost
  • the only time I experienced the symptoms you are describing is several years ago when I used to drink cow’s milk with whey protein powder mixed in. I would get a burning, tingling sensation across my shoulder blades & toward my spine right after…

  • Yes! Speaking of the Moon (and all things Celestial)- Jupiter has been particularly visible since July 9. Right now it is closest to the Earth. It looks like a beautiful big bright star. http://spaceweather.com/ Viewing it from a field full of fir…

  • I’m not sure about other states, but I believe it’s legal for women in NY to go topless in public if they wish. disclaimer: This is just a little fyi comment… no offense, disrespect, or ‘suggesting’ intended to anyone. :)
    in Scar Removal Comment by greenghost
  • Yes the coconut oil or shea butter is a good idea and so is massaging the area with Vitamin E oil, but if those don’t work you might want to try Neosporin’s Scar Solution: http://www.neosporin.com/scarsolution/scarsolut… (These are silicone strips …

  • Izhpt – I think it’s great that you share treats with your patients after PT treatments. Ginger is a great anti-inflammatory too (as you probably know! :) ).... and Pineapple & Ginger together are mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

  • Hi zöchen, I’m sorry that I do not live nearby – I would LOVE to live in Germany and get to share ideas about the raw-food lifestyle. I worked in a hotel in Germany ages ago in hopes of improving my German. BTW—I think zöchen is a very cute (pardo…

  • Bitt hit on it in her May post—that when a person is tired (and when they are stressed) they tend to eat more. Trying to get a good night’s sleep (going to bed at the same time every night – even on weekends) and perhaps practicing meditation may ta…

  • Nice referrence list Khaas Ladki. There are a number of good raw foods there. BTW—- I hope I didn’t sound accusatory or judgemental. Like you said – you didn’t even skip fats intentionally. And in other cases… some people have just been sadly mis…
    in beautiful hair Comment by greenghost
  • This is a very interesting (and rather scary) thread. I find it disconcerting to see how many people (especially women) have at one point or another in their lives completely cut fat out of their diets. That is such insanity! Every single cell in…

  • OK…. I just checked the FAQ’s on the Vitamix site (as simplyraw suggested last October).... they no longer have plastic containers with BPA (the new 5200 model doesn’t anyway). The new substance is “tritan”(?). Supposedly that is safe? I don’t know …
