• I put my flaxseed in glass jars and store in the refrigerator. For space considerations in the fridge, I’m sure you could store the seed in a plastic container or bag rather than glass jars. The flax lasts for quite a while - I make a LOT of flax cr…

• I eat mainly salads. I get big tubs of organic mixed greens and spinach at Sams. (I use them for smoothies, too). I used to go through lots of tubs ... so now I grow sprouts, so my salads are 50/50 sprouts to greens. Cut down on the greens I buy dra…

• I’ve been raw for over 3 years. I’ll say 100% – but I have used nama shoyu now and again in some recipes and dressings. And I have used sea salt as well. I can attest to feeling absolutely great eating raw, and can’t imagine eating any other way. My…

• The excalibur is a great dehydrator. the advantage is that the air blows from the back, so it dries evenly. Some dehydrators blow air from the bottom, so you have to reposition trays to get even drying. Check the excalibur main website to see what s…

• Congrats on your new dehydrator. You’ll love it!! Yes, there are raw recipes out there that suggest this multi-level setting, and I’ve been told it is acceptable. Personally, I’m not comfortable with using high settings, so I set my dehydrator at 10…

• I was a junk food person – devoured chips and ice cream. Chili Cheese fritos and Lays chips – I’m sure they noticed a gap in sales when I switched to raw!!! – along with Breyers ice cream – always a staple. And greasy bbq chicken – ohh, I thought it…

• I pour my juice in a gravey skimmer cup (the kind with the spout coming from the bottom), and pour from that so the foam stays in the skimmer cup and doesn’t end up in my glass.

• This time of year, I tend to eat fruit. Lately I’ve been having watermelon for dinner every night. In other seasons, I tend to have huge vege and greens salads—chop and throw whatever is in the fridge in a bowl with lots of herbs and sprouts – whiz …

• I have some soapnuts and am going to try making a solution when I go to bed at night for my morning shower – and then just setting the nuts out to dry for the day. I use them in the wash – they last for quite a few loads because I use cold water, so…

• Germin8 – I’m a little over a week not shampooing. So far it is okay – a tad oily, but not much. I am using a tablespoon of baking soda made into a loose paste – I put it mainly on my scalp and massage with a small scalp brush. Leave on for about a …

• Been doing “no poo” for a couple days now. Really hard to tell how it is going because on the first day I managed to get a heap of oil based paint in my hair and had to douse it with olive oil to get it out … so the first day was quite greasy. This …

• This is the best discussion on this topic I’ve seen anywhere. Thanks for all the helpful info. I’ve tried to go “no poo” before, and didn’t make it through the “greasies”. I had long hair then, and could wear it up, and still only lasted a few weeks…

• Congrats to everyone that is doing 100% raw!!! Setting a goal of 30 days – then the next goal, then the next worked for me. I’ve been there a bit over 3 years—ummmm – guess it computes to 1114 days. Now it is just a way of life.
