• Shane – ask yourself this, how do you feel? If greens smoothies make you salivate, you enjoy them, and you’re bouncing off the walls with energy, then I think that’s an intuitive attraction to greens. Your body may have been deprived of it in the pa…

• Thanks for the advice! RCBAlive – I hadn’t looked the the recipes on this site because I have the idea stuck in my head that to make gourmet meals I need a dehyrator and other fancy equipment. The apple and sweet potato casserole sound so yummy! I’m…

• hmm… it’d be nice if beth’s snacks had the power to turn anybody raw. I’m going to test that!

• Wow! I’m so jealous! I was about to go on amazon and order some raw revolution bars, but I think I’ll order some from omshanti now, and like you said, support a local! Problem is, everything sounds so good I don’t know what to order!

• I bought crystal salt recently and I’m disapointed :o( I was really hoping it would work! I am still using it but brush a little baking soda over it so I won’t stink. Does anybody know why crystal salt works for some but doesn’t for others?

  in Deodorant Comment by odalys
• Have you tried crystal salt? I don’t use it, but I bought some for my dad (who’s a total omni) and he says its worked better than anything he’s ever used. Right now I’m using one by Nature’s Own until it runs out. Also, would you be interested in ma…

• I have to second what 123 says, coffee is extremely acid and dehydrating, try sun tea instead (or warm tea, since its getting cold) I’ve heard some people using a special method of brewing coffee that makes it less acidic. http://www.toddycafe.com/c…

• writeeternity – you were so right! I tried using the mustard greens in the broccoli salad (was careful when adding the onions, didn’t want to kill myself :P) and it was an amazing, slightly spicy, sweet, crisp, creamy, it was gooooood. Mmmmm… But, I…

• I think its strong enough that I will use it as a “spice” deborahann – sauteeing it with onions an garlic sounds SO yummy, but I’m trying to keep to raw. That’s why I think its extra difficult to find a way to prepare it… cooking would do the trick.…

  in Book Exchange Comment by odalys
• Hey juleskess! I’m glad you like the idea, it just seems like a frugal way to expand our raw knowledge. I also happen to INHALE books, which can become really expensive if I buy every book I read. I’m interested in Green for Life, I bought 12 steps …

• I think you should reassure your mother, it seems like she keeps emphasizing how “unhealthy” you are. I’d suggest getting some bloodwork done if you haven’t already and show it to her, maybe it will calm her nerves. If this doesn’t work, then, you’r…

  in Negative mother about raw Comment by odalys
• WOW! Thanks so much for the indepth information on lemons! Do you think limes have the same properties? These are what I usually use… And its funny, because I read all the time about lemon water being good and that its “alkalizing” but I never knew …

• I agree with the aboved posts, you might also want to think about B12, since you’ve have been vegetarian for so long. http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&... That’s the nutritional profile of salmon for some idea of what’s “in” fish. …

• Stylistchick – The reason why doctors overlook t3 is because the body makes it from the t4 horomone. (whether or not that is accurate, I don’t know, I’m not a doctor!) I also agree that taking desicated pig horomone is, well, unethical. I will be lo…
