• Odalys, That is a good question about conceiving. I didn’t think that HYPO would cause conception problems (you usually hear about HYPER doing that), but according to my naturopath, I had been hypo my whole life, and my thyroid was SO low, that syst…

• Sorry, I just picked up this thread again….Here is a short synopsis of my story: I found out I had it a while before I became pregnant with my daughter. I originally saw a number of mainstream MDs who told me I had no problem, and then one “humored”…

• Hi Om, I remember that we talked about this on the other thread too. I have hypothyroid and have moved from managing it with meds (natural and artificial) to now just managing it with diet. So, if you would like to talk on or off board, just let me …

• I would like to know this as well, since there are some raw foodists who are raw but not vegan and eat raw seafood.

  in Not vegan, but is it raw? Comment by spiritedmama
• That is such great news! I hope that will give us enough time to stop it for good!

• I am helping my mother become more raw, and what you are describing is precisely how she is doing it…all raw until dinner, and then as raw as possible at dinner. It will take longer for your body to see the results, but it will happen slowly. Just t…

• I am not sure if you son is raw or not, or if you give him dairy, but dairy reaction is one of the #1 causes of eczema. For me, I would be more suspicious of that than tree nuts.

• I LOVED this Raw Summit! It was full of so much valuable information. Also, it was nice to get to hear all the well know raw fooders without having to travel around to find them. We got them all in the comfort of our homes…I listened in the morning …

• Thanks Om…That is what she talks about in her 12 Steps to Raw book. This makes me feel good, because I have alot of greens throughout the day. In fact, I was analyzing my diet now and comparing it to when I first went raw…what an evolution! When I f…

• Om, I have questions on that Victoria Boutanko…I was not near a computer for the twenty four hours her call was available. Any important words of wisdom that stuck out for you? I have read her 12 steps to raw and wondered if it was similar info.

• O.K., so I listened to Gabriel’s call this morning. I liked a lot of what he had to say, but some I wanted him to elaborate more on, especially the diabetes as that is what I am helping my mom with right now. I liked that he mentioned the ruling tha…

• I have always been a hippy-type even before going raw (LOL) so I couldn’t tell you that! But, I have heard all the pros and cons of chocolate/cocao, and I have always thought that in moderation, and unmessed with by the big chocolate companies, it s…

• I just listened to it this morning. It was very nice to hear David in his own words, as I have never read his book or heard him talk about raw food (just seen him on the “Weird Weird House” as an Alt on MTV…LOL!) He is such a controversial figure in…

• I put lemon and a little salt and pepper on my salads most of the time. If I am feeling indulgent, or just need a little heavier meal, I will make a dressing of: pine nuts or macadamian nuts, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and itallian seasoning. I…

  in too much fat? help!! Comment by spiritedmama
• I may be different than some, but since going raw a little over a year ago, I have not monitored my fat intake any more than my veggies and fruit (something I am so grateful for because I was a constant calorie/fat counter prior to going raw). I sta…

• I’ll bet that if you took a standard raw bread/cracker recipe and piped it onto a dehydrator tray using a pastry bag (like frosting a cake), that it would dehydrate into noodles. I will give it a try the next time I make crackers/bread.
