Eple - Welcome!! I would concentrate on as much raw as possible. There is no set percentage for being considered raw. Certain areas and lifestyles do not lend themselves to 100%. Health is a journey so enjoy your path :) Toasted nuts are not raw and…

in How much is 80 procent raw? Comment by Orchid

thanks for the post greenie. :) Ugh.Why can’t we teach people how to eat healthy, full, rounded diets instead of treating them like ignorant children and sneaking in nutrients then using it as a marketing ploy? If we didn’t deplete our soils and eng…

in Why can't they just leave it alone???? Comment by Orchid

Hi Slosh-uh, just wanted to check in and see how you were doing! :) Blessings.

in Depression Comment by Orchid

Slosh-uh First of all HUG! I agree with Mon46 certain things need to be dealt with as their own issue. I deeply empathize. I too have fought and fight mood swings and used to have pretty severe depression. There is no shame in getting help :) There …

mamamilk :) I meant to imply that we are primates and should not forget that we are part of the natural world, not above it. Blessings!

in For Thinkers! Comment by Orchid

dreasraw – Yes, yes, yes! Except we are apes ;) I was just talking about such mind/behavior conditioning in our culture to a friend the other day and how culture is the perfect vehicle for mass control. They looked at me like a had a 2nd head. I thi…

HUGS!

in Overwhelmed...:( Comment by Orchid

That is very touching and my heart goes out to her. I was unable to find the articles I remember but humans too often want to hold the child for a day or two while acceptance is setting in, it aids with the grief process. We may not be able to know …

Sara – congratulations for getting back on track, it is very difficult. (I have been having trouble staying raw too.) I cannot eat gluten or dairy as well. I understand the temptation, believe me :) I agree that if you can get all gluten out of the …

in I need help getting back on track Comment by Orchid

brianwestchest – sounds like you were given mustard greens. They are very good but very spicy, especially raw. My bf and I had that happen as well about a month ago. The local store labeled it as kale too. It was quite a surprise, and unpalatable. b…

Hi Sabrina1979 :) I’ve done the MC twice so far( I’ll do another come late fall.) The point of the salt water flush is to clean out your system. (graphic) It’s like running water through a dirty hose, you need several washes to get it clean. Basical…

Hi Bigwaterjar! At the top of the website on the far left it says “Welcome to Gone Raw! Gone Raw is a website created to help people share and discuss raw, vegan food recipes from around the world.” Hope that helps :) PS You have to not be logged i…

in Is this site Vegan? Comment by Orchid

Thanks for the link! It looks like their Organic line does not contain parabens. For those of you who use it, how is the coverage? I hardly wear makeup except for when I perform. I don’t want to use the regular otc stuff but need good coverage.

in Have you heard about organic wear make up? Comment by Orchid

Hi Plan B. I would suggest googling “celiac disease” You can also look up “wheat intolerance” www.celiac.com is a good resource.

in Noob on Gluten Comment by Orchid

Hi Katie! I can’t speak on the pregnancy aspect (congratulations!) I too am new to raw foods. I would suggest finding a few simple recipes and start adding them to the meals as ‘side dishes,’ serve a salad at the start of meals and fruit as desert. …

in Hello all, new member (heavily pregnant) needing support/input/advice! Comment by Orchid

I was ovo-vegetarian and started to see ‘raw’ recipes on the websites that I visited. After looking into the ‘diet’ I just knew that I needed to add raw food to my lifestyle. It made a lot of sense considering I got my BA in Anthropology…eat what pr…

in What inspired you to eat vegan live food? Comment by Orchid

JoyceH – Glad to hear about the cafe opening :) That would be a much shorter drive. I noticed that rawshe said that they were from Woodstock, VT but don’t know of any others in person. I haven’t met Linda yet so thanks for her website information! :…

in Best Place to Live for Raw Comment by Orchid

JoyceH I totally agree! I would LOVE a raw restaurant in the Burlington area! I can also second the restaurant in Beverly…it was a fantastic experience! As someone who is wheat and dairy intolerant and allergic to sulfites…I almost cried that I got …

in Best Place to Live for Raw Comment by Orchid

Hi everyone! So I broke my fast Saturday (Day 8) because I felt that I was ready. I was in very good spirits and could have gone longer, but I just felt as though my body said it had done what it needed for now. For me this was important because doi…
