• You could try to ferment it, like Kim Chee.

• I can’t imagine that anyone would ever have tried to eat a durian. Then again, who ate the first egg knowing where that came from?

• There are some good raw mayonnaise recipes on the Internet too. Cherie Soria has mustard, mayonnaise and ketchup on her site. I made some mustard once using ground seeds and ACV with a little water. It wasn’t as good as Eden brand stone ground musta…

• What kind of sandwich did you make Kandace? I’m eager to try this, but I’m detached from my dehydrator right now!

• I was found to be sensitve to tomatoes on an ELISA food allergy test. They tend to cause me to feel weak when I eat them, sometimes it’s a delayed reaction. I might be beyond that now, but why chance it?

• ALL of Russell James’ food looks good! He definitely has the gourmet flair. I think many things would taste better if they looked as good too. I want to make this bread with a slight variation, no tomatoes. What would be a good substitute? The sandw…

• This morning I had a green smoothie with spinach, grapes and an apple. For a mid-morning snack, I ate a banana. For lunch I made the Ceasar salad on this site, with ground pumpkin seeds, lemon, olive oil, mustard and garlic. I’ve had three glasses o…

• Put them, prickly pears, in a smoothie. Or blend them and strain out the seeds and make fruit leathers. I think They’d be good as a syrup for Vice Cream or Flax Jacks, mixed with raw agave.

• I’m going to try mesquite pods this year since we have a forest of mesquite trees where I’m moving in Texas. Has anyone harvested and ground them before? I’m also going to try prickly pears. Wal-Mart sells nopales (cactus pods) for a lot of money. I…

• Just let the doctor write the script and don’t fill it. As far as vaccinations go, refuse if you can. I have personal experience here…or my 25 year old daughter does. Long, sad story. You aren’t crazy to be concerned. Do an Internet search for Thime…

• Aloe Vera juice is good for many health reasons. They drink raw, fresh juice as a health tonic in some parts of Mexico. It’s slimy though and not at all tasty. I think most bottled juices are pasteurized as they won’t be safe on the shelf for long i…

• I posted on a previous message about the cilantro being a mobilizer. So many people think it’s good for mercury, but moving mercury without binding it is dangerous. I use Modifilan, brown seaweed. It contains alginates that bind with metals, but tha…

• I’m having some serious chelating/detox reactions today too, jkd. I’m detoxing mercury and heavy metals (intentionally). I’m having some weird symptoms that I haven’t had in a while, metal taste in my mouth, excess saliva, numb lips and a sharp pain…

• One good thing about seeing whole seeds is that you can determine the transit time for digestion.

  in Just a few questions from a newbie Comment by alpdesigns
• If you make green smoothies with spinach, that could cause loose stools as spinach has laxative qualities. Maybe adding more fiber to your diet would help. I became more regular with firm stools by adding ground flax to my diet daily.

• Here’s a recipe for Lara-type bars. I love them too. I order from Fit Fuel online. You can always just put a walnut half or almond inside a date and roll it in shredded coconut. A bonus with the recipe as opposed to LaraBars is that you can soak you…

• Heat treated, irradiated, microwaved. It’s just symantics. It’s all bad. Thanks for the link to an organic source. Ironically, an ad for Indian mangoes is posted on this page (GoneRaw) and I’m looking at it as I type! Here’s a good link about irradi…

  in Don't buy Indian mangoes! Comment by alpdesigns
• Good post, but I hate to break it to you, most mangoes are already irradiated, This is just coming up because this is a new market. Imports are irradiated as a general rule and some produce and other products grown in the US are also irradiated. Som…

• Welcome to the group Odalys. If you have a blender, you’re on your way. I use that more than any other tool in my kitchen besides a knife. It doesn’t have to be a Vitamix, although that may be something you want down the line as your interest grows.…

• Mushrooms feed candida. I wouldn’t eat them every day. This rule ought to be applied to nearly all vegetables and fruits as well. Variety is how you are going to get all the necessary nutrients.
