  • I bought 5 pounds my first time and didn’t like them either. I heard so many rave reviews about them that I decided to order a lot to save on shipping. I thought that I had wasted a large amount of money. Even Dr. Mehmet Oz recommended them for anti…
  • Good link on toxicity in our environment. http://www.tuberose.com/Toxicity.html Look for a biologic dentist to replace amalgams as there is a safe way, that doesn’t cause more mercury exposure and a conventional dentist who drills the amalgam out, r…
  • I make fruit or green smoothies everyday. I also eat a variety of salads, sometimes using a small part of my morning smoothie mixed with other ingredients for dressing, but my favorite topping is ground pumpkin seeds with sea salt. I usually like ev…

  • I incorporate The Best Bet: MS Diet with raw food. I actually use the elimination principles, not the recipes. Limited red meat (I’ve limited it to completely meatless of any kind), no dairy, legumes, eggs, sugar or wheat (or any gluten). Limited sa…
    in OTHER DIETS Comment by alpdesigns
  • Less expensive unless I eat lots of exotic fruits and vegetables, nuts or order “superfoods” online. Less expensive because I never eat at fast food joints anymore, I don’t buy meat or dairy products and I don’t buy soft drinks, chips or other junk …
  • A friend of mine sends the return envelopes back empty when offers come to him and the company has to pay the postage and spend the time opening the mail. His name has been dropped from several lists! Not as green, but effective.
  • Maybe you can make raw versions of Asian foods so that the chef can get some ideas for his restaurant.
  • Shazzi, Rhio, Cheri Soria, Victoria Boutenko, Karen Knowler, Ani Phyo, Richard Blackman, Matt Monarch. Herbert Shelton, the father of Natural Hygiene. Mathew Grace, overcame MS with a raw diet (among other things), Brenda Cobb (overcame cervical can…
  • Or, you could go to his website and get some answers. http://www.foodnsport.com/joomla/content/sectio…
  • Fruits are cleansing and maybe that’s why you feel sick.
  • I eat fruit everyday, in green smoothies and on salads and in dressings as well as in their natural state. I eat lemons frequently for the flavonoids, for alkalization and for stimulating hydrochloric acid. I don’t eat tomatoes often because an ELIS…
  • I think that what’s even more gross is the idea of where an egg comes from. Who had the original idea of eating something that came out of a chicken’s butt? And why does moldy cheese appeal to people?
  • Welcome to the group Monica. You can use fresh herbs to season your food. Good luck on your quest for the optimal diet!
  • Try maca for hormome replacement and seaweed for iodine. It might help the lack of function.
  • They contain cardiol, a toxic skin irritant that is also found in poison ivy, poison oak. I sometimes got nauseated when I ate them and the kind that I bought were most likely heated to remove the shell. Heating doesn’t remove all the toxin apparent…

  • Here’s what Dr. Graham has to say about fat: Excess fat is the culprit in candida, not sugar, per se. When fat levels in the blood rise, so does blood sugar, because excess fat inhibits insulin from performing its function of escorting sugar out of …

  • Delphine, Yacon is supposed to lower the blood sugar metabolism. Does it not help you?

  • I heard Dr. Graham speak on the raw summit, I liked what he had to say and I ordered and read his book. I tried his diet recommendations for a month and had difficulty eating enough calories. I’m not physically active (I’m in a wheelchair) and I don…

  • There is a seller on ebay who is selling Benriner horizontal spinning slicers for $44.95 NIB, half of the MSRP. They have three available if anyone is interested. This is a buy it now price. The auction/sale ends in 3 days, 14 hours.

  • The body naturally goes through a detox processs everyday of your life. Otherwise, you store the toxins in fatty tissues. I would be more concerned about getting sufficient B-12 than detoxing. Chelating is another story. Get some advice from a nutri…
  • Health was my initial calling, but I am more conscious now of the suffering of animals and the destruction of our planet due to factory farming, over-packaging and transportation of products. I came across the raw food movement when researching diet…
  • Hi Elizabeth. 1) How do you get too much fiber, in your opinion? The assimilation and distribution of nutrients occurs in the colon. Digestion might be rapid, but what you eat for breakfast might not be eliminated until dinner. You could do a test a…
  • Hemp has protein that is the building block of all tissues, including hormones, but it doesn’t contain the phytoestrogens that soy does.
    in Omega 9 sources Comment by alpdesigns
  • Olive oil, but it’s not an essential fat from a food source. Omega 9 is made by the body.

  • Your experience should help you to make the decision to eat raw. You don’t need to worry about percentages, just eat as much raw as you can. That could mean different things to different people. It isn’t a hard and fast rule to eat all raw, just tra…

  • Spinach also has laxative qualities. Watermelon (lots of it) cleans me out very well. Drinking warm water upon rising in the morning helps. Flax seed is good. I eat it regularly, ground. There are herbs that help too, like senna leaf.
  • Sky Princess, if you have a better design, why don’t you submit it for consideration? I have not been as interested in the design as I have been in the photos of the recipes. Few sites offer those and that is what usually inspires me to try somethin…
  • I eat far less food now than I did when I was eating SAD. I eat bigger salads and lots of green smoothies, but the volume of food by comparison is small.
  • Circulation has been a problem for me, since I spend so much time in a wheelchair. I also had symptoms of hypothyrodism, one of them being cold. I put maca in my smoothies and cayenne pepper on my food. Maca is good for hormone replacement (thyroid)…
  • Here’s the Wikipedia definition and description of a cashew, complete with photos. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cashew I bought some cashews to make the eggless egg salad recipe on this site and, while the salad tasted good, the nuts made me nauseat…
