  • Sweet :) I’m glad somebody responded, lol. My boyfriend’s also a gamer… and yeah, I’m convinced we’ll both be our whole lives. I’ll have to check out 2Moons. Free is always good….

  • I find cheesecloth works best. But sorry I don’t know the fabric. :( However I imagine most anything somewhat breatheable would work well. As long as the liquid can pass through, right? I could be wrong.
  • You could be craving it because its winter time. Or, er, it is here. I guess I’m just assuming it is by you too. Anyway, if it is, at these times our bodies crave heavier, warmer foods. Meat is like on the top of that list. That could be why you’re …
  • Yep, sugarholic here too. The only thing that ever helps me not to crave sugar (usually happens at night) is to eat lots of fruit. All day (or, well, until like 2-ish). And, honestly, I feel great when I do, and I don’t crave anything because I’m fu…

  • I start another MC on Friday (Feb. 8)! Glad to see so many other people are taking the trek as well. Topcat- I know that the Master Cleanse forum recommends these to replenish intestinal flora: http://www.country-life.com/moreinfo.cfm?Catego… Daily …
  • I just recently started out on an 80/10/10 diet, which I plan to keep for 30 days to see how I feel at the end of it. I agree with SocaL and, like raw_mama, I found that when I read Graham’s book it was like: Well, of course!! I don’t see how there …
  • Raw/cold food really kills certain cravings too. I find that if I eat cooked/hot food again I crave ice cream like you wouldn’t believe. Its just my body crying out like: Why is it so hot? ... Cold water would probably work just as well though lol. …
  • Dain5000- I would suggest buying Burrough’s book if you’re interested. Its super cheap. But, if you prefer reading online, here’s the link for his entire book: http://www.geocities.com/hotsprings/spa/7244/master_cleanse.html Its pretty short. 50 pa…
  • Aw man… I really want to do another MC, but I JUST did one last month and December 1st will probably be too soon to do another. :( I’ll wait for anyone who wants to do a January 1st cleanse with me. I was planning on doing it for the new year, to cl…
  • Wow to the American Poverty, African Poverty one. That is really profound.
  • Thank you for posting this!! I was just thinking of what I could use instead of plastic for carrying my water, and I thought “canteens?” ... This is perfect. :)

  • My mother is a nurse and said that with strokes, usually there is facial drooping, and drooping of one side of the body – not so much a numbness. However she still thinks you should get it checked out. She also said its hard to tell without seeing /…

  • This seems to be said a lot, but I’m not sure if anyone’s addressed it here yet? ... Hair needs to detox, like everything else. Our bodies are changing to accommodate a new way of eating. The old hair must fall out for new hair to grow in. Eventuall…
  • Distilled water is best. I just read this so someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems that the minerals that distilled water leaches from your system are actually minerals we cannot use, and are therefore toxic and harmful to us… as a resul…
  • My input may not be useful… but anyway… I drink distilled tap water. We have a reverse osmosis filter… BUT… My home has well water, so it might be a little safer than usual tap water. Instead of lots of people urinating medication into my water its …

  • mmm I second that! Lol. Maybe I’ll make something later. :)
  • Wow this thread has made me really happy and like I want to hug all of you…. :O! I think all healthy people, raw foodist or not, have to deal with this. SAD is too prevalent not to have at least one person you love addicted to it. :( Unfortunately f…
  • I had fat cravings the past few days, but its been tapering off. It started as craving cashews and nuts butters (with dates), as well as an avocado a day for lunch. Now I find I’m not really eating so many cashews, but I still have a few dates at ni…

  • Congrats!!! Thats so exciting :)
  • Thats really interesting :) Thank you for clarifying. That makes a lot of sense and I agree with you… it is amazing how different our bodies are and how differently they react to the same things.
  • I always think its a good idea to cleanse the system when there is something like this… In my opinion (not my idea of course), disease is 99% of the time (if not all of the time) toxic build-up in the body. When the body is performing correctly, one…
  • I have their nutmilk bag. I used it to make walnut milk and I got the impression that it didn’t strain quite as well as a few layers of cheesecloth… however its MUCH easier and quicker to use. After using it a few more times I am pleased with it, bu…
  • Ouu I want to go to the raw food festival next year too, but I don’t know how possible that will be. It’d be great to chat. :) The reason I remember you so well is cause I thought you really stood out. You just seem like a very bright person :) It s…
  • OMG I KNEW YOU LOOKED FAMILIAR!! You went to IIN last year… PTP1. I was in PTP 1 too and we did a practice health history together. I don’t know if you remember me or not. How interesting that we both find ourselves here, lol!! And with raw food. Is…
  • near Red Bank, New Jersey. JoyceH—my brother just moved home from Burlington, Vermont. He lived there for like 3 years I think? Maybe more.. he moved around a bit. His girlfriend goes to UVM and he worked at a golf course there.
  • Hmm… You know I don’t really pay attention too much to when I eat. Its typically 3 times BUT also with snacking. I’ll try eating ONLY 3 times a day and see how that goes. Thanks!

  • thisbetherawdavid- Thanks! I’ll try Xylitol as soon as I can pick some up. I’ve seen it around but I’ve never heard about its benefitial qualities. mjhendrik – wow.. so you’re saying your tooth started to grow back? That makes me worry less about my…

  • I’ve started brushing with baking soda and then rinsing with apple cider vinegar (read about that somewhere online). Swishing with salt water sounds like a good idea… but I wouldn’t use a fluoride rinse. I don’t trust fluoride. Massaging gums… thats…

  • About deoderant, I can’t remember who said it or where (I actually think it might have been goneraw) but someone was mentioning using a lemon right after juicing it (so still wet) and rubbing it on the underams as a deoderant. This makes sense to me…

  • I can’t help you there BUT I did want to share this: Vitamin D can prevent up to 77% of all cancers. Read more here: http://www.newstarget.com/Report_Breast_Cancer_Deception_0.html Mix that with a raw food diet and I’d say you’re pretty much invinci…
