• I had one recently, for days. One squash goes a long way. I cut the peel off too, tough job. I cut in small cubes and blended it with seasoning and used it as pasta sauce, soup, added it to almond pulp and other veggies and dehydrated it for patties…

• If you bought the powder and you don’t like the taste, you can buy a Cap’m Quick device that will turn it into capsules. Vegetarian caps are available. I add the powder to smoothies too.

• The zucchini needs to be firm in order for the spiral device to work. You can sprinkle the “noodles” with seasalt and let stand to release the water, then rinse and dry to get a more authentic pasta.

  in Raw Spaghetti-when to peel zucchini? Comment by alpdesigns
• Good question. I don’t know if I could put something in my mouth that smells like a gas leak, as one poster described it. I live in an area where I won’t get the opportunity to try one to give it an accurate review. I don’t feel that I’m missing any…

• No, most spices are not raw. Organic is the next best option to raw.

• I’m glad that you said that zer0. I think that may be why too. It’s also from compulsive eating behavior. It’s associated with being rewarded. It started in childhood. Didn’t we all get treats for doing something well?

• Ann Wigmore said that wheatgrass juice turned her hair back to its original color after it had grayed. I have solid gray, shoulder length hair. I get more compliments now than I did when it was brown. I sometimes wonder if people are just shocked an…

• Are you all doing this with formal instruction? I bought the eBook so that I could try it someday, but I did the Baseline Nutritionals cleanses recently instead. The herbs in those products are too strong for me. I had to take smaller doses and even…

• Eat more seeds. Pumpkin, chia and sesame are all high in iron content, pumpkin seeds topping the list. Those are all high in magnesium and calcium as well.

• www.amazon.com They have several kinds and I buy the raw blue agave nectar or Madhava Raw (pure-organic) Agave Nectar. I don’t know that they ship to Norway.

  in Where do you buy your agave nectar? Comment by alpdesigns
• Everyone has that option in their posts. It stays forever!

• It’s not like a microwave that cooks from the inside out. Dehydrating dries from the outside in. Make smaller balls. I found that anything over 1/2 an inch needs to be dried at a higher temperature than flatter items.

• Legumes, grains and tomatoes contain certain lectins that can cause you to feel this way. None of those foods are good for the immune system and I don’t eat them because they can cause an immune response leading to exacerbations (I was diagnosed wit…

• I have a leather sofa that I bought years before I went vegan. To get rid of it would cause further waste to the environment. I wouldn’t buy one now either.

  in Now That I'm Vegan Comment by alpdesigns
• Because, this is a raw, VEGAN site! I’m a little surprised that the issue of raw meat has come up so much lately. It would definitely ‘come up’ if I were to eat it!

• Start with adding more raw fruits and vegetables to your diet and increase from there. The transitional recipes on this site would be a fun way to begin.

• I was little concerned recently when a report came out on Natural News about acrylamide in dried fruit, particularly in prunes and pears. I don’t eat either, but what if it’s in other dried fruits as well, like raisins? I think these could have been…

• Maca is a good thickener in sauces. Seaweed might help you as it contains iodine. I eat Brazil nuts for the selenium and pumpkin seeds for zinc. All are good for thyroid (where most hormones originate).

  in MACA.... Comment by alpdesigns
• mham, I eat fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and sprouts. I also use several superfoods, maca, goji berries, seaweed/kelp, camu-camu, yacon root powder, lucuma powder and cacao. I use maca and camu daily in green smoothies and the other superfoods in…

  in MACA.... Comment by alpdesigns
• Love it! It’s great for my hypothyroid symptoms. Maca is an adptogen and goes where it’s needed for either male or female hormone support.

• If you use flax seed, it might absorb too much moisture and not be crispy. Ground nuts or other seeds might work better.

• You can wipe the inside with coconut oil and then put the finished shell in warm water (up to the rim of the pan) to loosen. Then, turn them upside down and smack them on the counter to remove them. I guess that your instructor will tell you what sh…
