• I have a not-so-good blender too, but I have found that if I just put the greens in first (I think spinach works great!...) with just a little water and blend that first BEFORE adding anything else, it does a better job and I am not chewing my green…

• I live in Flagstaff Arizona, USA. I have heard rumors that there are other raw foodists in the area, but have not met any thus far. We do have an amazing natural market however where I can find most everything I need!

• The Complete Book of Raw Food by: Baird & Rodwell is a great book to get started, and has a list of basic pantry items. Hope this helps!

• rawmama, I did read the most recent version of Raw Kids last week. It was nice for me to review what I already new, as I have been helping the families that I work with do this for their children in one degree or another for many years. Don’t know w…

• Hi rawmama! I guess you are right that the green smoothies must have helped. Also, he got really frustrated that we were all eating different things, at least that is what he said. But, I believe that the biggest impact was that I appealed to his lo…

• Thanks for all your suggestions! I have started to make my husband green smoothies that we share, and the other night he ate the raw taco meat and veggies on a regular tortilla, so that was a nice compromise. He said it was really good too! I think …

• O.k….talked to the friend I got the start from. Unfortunately, she could not be of much help, as she got her start from a friend of hers that she has now lost touch with. So, the saga continues. I am going to contact some local nurseries here in AZ …

• I have tried mesquite powder. I purchased it off the internet from a company that says it is raw…but you know how that goes. Anyway, to me, it smells and has the light taste of coconut! I have the book Rawvolultion and Matt Amsded (spell?) has two g…

• I just wanted to clarify….Stevia is a natural herb, not an artificial sugar. I grow it right in my garden, and when a recipe calls for sweetener, I just grind up the leaves. It has been used in South America for centuries as a natural sweetener. Her…

• Congratulations, and don’t give up!! I get frustrated at times too, but all you can do is try your best. I agree with Ray, it is more important to be “as raw” as you can be than to get overwhelmed and return to a not so healthy diet. I have the book…

• Sometimes teeth hurting can be a sign of sinus problems. If you are just starting to do raw, your body could be detoxing and irritating your sinuses. If you feel this is the case, drink plenty of water to help flush the toxins. Keep us posted!
