  • I thought imported bulk foods were mostly pasteurized, irradiated or chemically treated as a requirement for importation by the US. Al, have you verified that living nutz are truly raw? I bought a bunch of almonds before the California Almond Board …
  • I’m sure there is, but it was sent to me a couple of weeks ago and I have since deleted it. Maybe Micaela Cook can help you if you email her.
  • I ate some cooked food with my family at Thanksgiving. I felt the effects, weakness in my legs, etc. for three days. Of course, I ate the chess pie with wheat and eggs, both not recommended on an MS diet. I read a lot about nutrition. It is my under…

  • Are you trying to take digestive or probiotic enzymes? I just got my first batch of yacon root powder. It’s a prebiotic. I want to feed the good guys in my gut and this is supposed to do that. I also take acidolphilus occasionally. I don’t believe t…
  • Inaia, I so enjoyed the music that I bought the CD from your site! I put a mixture of adzuki beans and lentils in to soak yesterday and they smelled so bad from the get-go that even if they do sprout well, I doubt that I’ll eat them. If you can’t st…

  • Cooking devitalizes the vitamins, minerals, flavonoids and kills the enzymes.

  • Inaia! I went to your site and I’m hypnotized, mesmerized by the beauty of your music! Thank you for posting the link. I listened to the opening song numerous times in a row.

  • Sprouted buckwheat greens contain fagopyrins, some foods (spinach) contain goitrogenous compounds. Legumes contain lectins. All plants contain toxic substances, most more harmful to bugs than humans. I wonder, why sprout if you cook them?

  • I agree that these groceries fool people into thinking that their whole inventory is healthy, but most of it is still processed food and some items marketed as organic, aren’t. But, I wish there was a Whole Foods near me because the farmer’s stands …
  • I use my dehydator infrequently, but I use my blender daily. I make green smoothies all the time and tonight, I made cream of cauliflower soup. I make the nut recipes if I want to play in the kitchen, but they aren’t anymore tasty to me than a salad…
  • Where do either of you buy raw spices?
  • It was not my intention to label all who question the rawness of food as obsessive, but there are some people who are. My intention was to point out that instead of stressing over it, and making yourself ill, take into consideration that there are f…
  • Debbietook, we’re all different. Some people stress over non-raw ingredients and some stress because people think differently than they do. I used agave nectar on fruit as an example. Some people have posted recipes with fruit desserts with agave. D…
  • The more I think about it, the obsession with eating only raw and not including some spices or condiments can be more detrimental than the food! If eating some agave nectar will make you eat more fruit because it tastes good to you, why not? I’ve he…
  • I agree with Elizabeth. If you don’t make a habit of eating cooked food, an occasional addition won’t hurt you as badly as your previous diet and may eliminate some frustration along the way. I also eat raw agave (so they say), Eden’s brown mustard …
  • Even though I seldom make them, I like the new recipes and would love for them to be shown longer, if there is some way, .I don’t always have the ingredients.
  • Blender and Cafemill. Lately, I’m hooked on my new Saladacco!
  • I listened to Doug Graham’s interview on the Raw Summit and was impressed enough to buy the book. I read it and followed his plan for a month. I felt like I needed to eat all the time to get enough calories and I wasn’t hungry enough to do so. I get…
  • I wouldn’t go nuts (pardon the pun) with agave nectar or olive oil either. It would be difficult to eat too many calories otherwise.

  • Heathermarsbomb, Baseline Nutritionals sells the herbal products used on this detox. It’s expensive, but Jon Barron has had many success stories using his protocols. I was tested for heavy metals and had high levels, this is one of the reasons that …
  • I’m going to be doing the Jon Barron World Detox Event during the same time. It also includes metal detox.
  • It sounds to me like sugary foods, fruits, are fermenting in your gut. Taking enzymes, digestive and probiotic, is a good idea.
  • I was reading about chia seeds today and one of the benefits touted is building lean muscle mass.
  • I would think that would be mold. I’ve never heard anyone else mention that. Don’t eat it!
    in purple coconut? Comment by alpdesigns
  • Good question. I wondered that myself today as I listened to Dr. Robert Young on Raw Summit 2 and looked up his website. Not long ago it was mentioned here that someone had called Madhava about the temperature reached when making their raw agave and…
    in Agave Comment by alpdesigns
  • Yes Mango Woman. The seeds produce the gel around them. It would be hard, nearly impossible, to separate the two. They don’t add any flavor that you would detect. You could make crackers with almond pulp and soaked chia seeds. Season with the flavor…
    in Chia seeds.. Comment by alpdesigns
  • I add the gel to salad dressing and smoothies. Salba is another seed that has outstanding nutritional qualities. I haven’t tried it yet though.

  • Oh! My darlin’ Clementines arrived today and the store was already nearly sold out. I only got one 5 lb. box. They won’t last long around here.

  • I’m a clementine girl. Our grocery will have them next week and I’ll buy several boxes at a time until they’re out of season. I like that they have no seeds, are sweet and are easy to peel. I was introduced to them last year and have eaten more in t…
