• It is my opinion that you should ease into it. Add more salads and raw fruit to your diet and transition slowly. Your body will do a lot of cleansing if you start eating raw and some people can’t handle the detox well. You may feel worse before you …

• Yes, the ink will get into your system. You may want one today, but what if you change your mind tomorrow? Have you considered temporary tats?

• blizzful7, you dry it in the deyhdrator and grind it in a coffee mill to make flour. There is a recently posted recipe for almond cookies that uses almond flour. I dehydrate the pulp just to have it on hand for quick bites. I posted a recipe for alm…

• I always think it’s the seasoning, the sauce, the gravy that people crave, not the taste of meat. Texture and the smell of the seasoning are attractive too. Do you have a recipe for Ranch Dressing?

• You can use a vegetable peeler to make wide “noodles”. Slice them into strips for thinner ones. I bought a Saladacco several weeks ago and use it all the time. I got a new one on eBay, where I get many things, for around $20.00 with shipping. This i…

• These are all guesses, of course, as no one can give you a definitive answer without knowing more. I hope this doesn’t dissuade you from eating raw or sprouting at home. This could have been a delayed reaction to something that you ate previously. I…

  in The cost of raw... Comment by alpdesigns
• Think of all the money you save by not buying junk food anymore. A box of Twinkies is $3.99! A gallon of milk is about the same. Both of those have added health costs. Raw food is a bargain by comparison. You use less electricity by not cooking, you…

• I was skeptical at first, then I tried a few. I can’t say that all have improved my health because they don’t effect symptoms much, but seaweed/kelp has helped me with thyroid function. I also eat maca, chia seed, lucuma powder, cacao, yakon powder,…

• Definitely eBay. I got 4 nut mylk bags for $9.99 + $2.50 shipping and the deal is still available. There is a seller selling 4 tray Excaliburs for $119.95 with free shipping and 40 available.

• flybaby, that part of my comment was not directed at what you had to say. The part where I agreed with you was! The part about sprouts and nuts or seeds was a general question. Don’t we all sprout our seeds and soak our nuts?

  in balanced diet Comment by alpdesigns
• Nuts and seeds are necessary for my health since I’m trying to regrow myelin. I agree with flybaby in that there isn’t a general rule for all. I also eat a high protein diet to chelate mercury. I think that a person should assess their own needs and…

• When I stopped being SAD, I went directly to vegan because of health issues. Dairy and eggs contain proteins that I just don’t digest well. Since that time, 4 years ago, my moral consciousness has kicked in and I don’t want anything animal in my die…

• I don’t eat cacao often because it contains theobromine, a neurotoxin, stimulant. Not fantastic for a person with a neurodegenerative disease such as mine (MS). I do eat it on occasion though and love it when I eat it. It all goes back to the vary y…

• Are you eating a lot of nightshade vegetables (potatoes. tomatoes, eggplant, peppers)? They irritate joints in some people. http://www.archure.net/salus/nightshade.html

• My acupuncturist told me this ages ago and I’ve been drinking room temp drinks ever since. I do like to color outside the line though. I’ll drink a frozen banana smoothie once in awhile.

  in why am I so sad..... Comment by alpdesigns
• I do things like make several things in a day that will get me through a few days. I use a blender without washing between recipes. For example, I’ll make almond milk first, cashew cream cheese next, followed by salad dressing, then pasta sauce, the…

• Cyanocobalamin is not the best form. Methyl B-12 is more bioavailable. Cyanocobalamin has to be turned into methylcobalamin by the body to be used. Cyan- does not occur in nature. It’s made by a chemical process that adds cyanide. Buy a better B-12 …

• Fix crock-pot meals for her and eat a salad together (or something else raw you have prepared). You both get what you want. The only way to change her mind is seeing how well you do.

• MSM is the only supplement that I take that isn’t from a raw food source. I take it daily for detox. I take a veg/cap but used to take the powder in smoothies. The taste is bitter and if that doesn’t appeal to you, caps are easier to swallow.

• I drink some herbal teas sometimes. Today, I made a tea out of ground celery seeds and cinnamon to help with circulation and edema. Celery seed is anti-inflammatory. I added stevia.

• No, shoots and greens are different. The groat does not contain problematic amounts of fagopyrin, and neither do the short tails. The greens are usually grown like seeds, planted in soil. The problems occur when you drink large quantities of juiced …
