• I’m actually in favor of using coconut oil because of it’s antibacterial, antimicrobial and antiviral properties. It contains lauric acid and caprylic acid that do this. Coconut oil is also helpful with immune diseases and thyroid hormone regulation…

• I use maca all the time. I originally bought it to try it because it is an adaptogen, good for thyroid hormone regulation. I eat it now because I like the flavor! It works like wheat flour to thicken things like soups, sauces and smoothies only it d…

• There are so many diets out there that I’ve often joked in my own raw food group that I was going to do a raw version of The Best Bet/Macrobiotic/Blood Type/Paleolithic/Alkaline Diet. Eating more raw produce is something that they all have in common…

• Ron Paul is neither a homophobe nor a racist. The stories that have come out lately were written years ago by a ghost writer for an article that was not approved by Mr. Paul. The other team is trotting them out now for spin before the primary. He ha…

• I eat seeds more frequently than nuts. I grind pumpkin seeds to sprinkle on salad and I put ground flax on sliced fruit. I like chia in smoothies and sprouted sunflower seeds in my granola. I make almond milk 1/4 (almonds to water) once, sometimes t…

• Cheri Soria sprinkles salt on the zucchini noodles to let them sweat the water out, Then she rinses off the salt and dries them with a paper towel. They become more limp and noodle-like.
