• Thanks Morning_theft! I do have Jinjee’s book, and have read it a few times, so I use that as a reference. And, I drink lemon juice in the morning. I have been able to get a glass of green smoothie in every day so far as well. I just have to take li…

• I think that that was not my original intent, but I certainly do feel more connected. Also, since going raw, many opportunities to enhance and grow my spirituality have been put before me. So, now that 2 paths are intertwined.

• Thanks so much Zoe and Kandace. I think I will put together a few menus and calculate the cost of making each one. That way, I can figure out the best range for cost. I would like to make a little money from this if I am going to dedicate the time, …

• Thank you for your information Madness and willmize, and for your oh so kind words. I think that $25-$35 seems to be a reasonable price depending on the ingredients used. So, when I do this again I will keep that in mind. For now, I am doing it out …

• For me, it started out as a hope to find something more natural than medication to help my hypothyroid. Then, the universe kept putting “raw” stuff in front of me…books, TV shows, people, etc. So, I did some research and found out that it was good f…

• I made that recipe and it turned out great! I used flax, coconut butter, and a litle salt. My family adores it, and we have been using it ever since it was posted. Sorry to hear that you haven’t had such a good experience.

• Pine nut gets a vote from me too…they are so tastey when sweetened with a little date syrup.

• Hi cheerydeb, Some thoughts off the top of my head: 1) take at least 2 more pregnancy tests about 2 days in between, or until you get your period. Sometimes you can be pregnant and not have it show up the first few tests you take. It is rare, but it…

• I do not believe that it is raw if it is bought commercially. I know there are recipes to make it raw in books.

• I like the idea of using buckwheat sweetpea, thanks for the idea! Matt’s book is the first raw food “cookbook” I ever bought. I tried the bread 1x with horrible results. I thought is was very strong and overwhelming with both the amount of onions an…

• I am not 100% raw because I have some coffee and tea now and again. Also, I do use honey on occassion. Then there are the things that are supposedly raw but may not actually be. I try to stay away from them, but sometimes I find out later that they …

  in Edamame Beans? Comment by spiritedmama
• This is a wonderful topic, and very timely to me. I have been pondering my diet a little lately. For me, it is not why I don’t want to be 100% raw, but why I can’t seem to STAY 100 raw. I LOVE the way I feel, the way I look, and how empowered I feel…

  in Why are you not 100% raw? Comment by spiritedmama
• I love this topic! For a couple of years now, we have been requesting that instead of buying our children gifts, our family pool their resources and give them money to be used as payment for music classes, camp, etc. This has worked out fantastic! A…

• Laine, That is so interesting that at day 10 you are still having the black mucousy waste. I didn’t have anything after day 3 from the lax. tea or the salt water flush. I was wondering if I should have or whether it was o.k. that the water that went…

• Beautiful poem Barbraw! Thank you so much for sharing that you do the MC once a week Sita. I am not sure I am ready for that, but was thinking of doing a short MC once a month, though still not sure of how effective that would be. I wish I could fin…

• Good point RawJim, that was one of my concerns…it’s an aweful lot of maple syrup if you are already eating solid food. Extra calories don’t help anyone. Interesting thoughts as far as why the MC works as well. I have similar views. I am interested t…

• Thanks for everybodies support and understanding! It truly is appreciated. I have a question…would it be worth it (or a waste of time) to do the MC drink every morning? For almost 10 years now I have been having a cup of warm lemon water to start my…

• Hey guys, I have to tell you that I broke the cleanse today. After the SWF, the pressure in my head just continued to get worse and worse,a nd I feared more migraines, so I drank OJ this morning. I am still keeping it to liquids, but not the master …

• Start of Day 6 for me…so far so good, other than a little runny nose after the salt water flush. I’m sure it will pass after I drink my first cup of MC.

• Day 5 and I am feeling much better, though still have a tinge of a lingering headache now and then. Now, my biggest obstacle is being SOOOO bored with just having the drink. My mouth is craving texture, especially crunchy things. My game plan is jus…

• Kundalalita, maybe you could mix up everything but the cayenne, and bring the cayenne with you. Then, add it to each drink. I put 2 large dashes of cayenne in my single servings. If you add it at the time you are going to drink it, then it wouldn’t …

• Kundalalita, thanks for the suggestion, I will try it for sure! I too used to get hospitalized from migraines…not fun. I work from home, so whenever I feel hungry, I just make myself an individual serving. I put 2 TBS lemon juice, 2 TBS maple syrup,…
