• I LOVE raw potlucks – finally I can eat all I want of EVERYTHING there, and I feel AMAZING! And the support is awesome, too.

• I do better with variety. The wheatgrass juice is some pretty potent, concentrated nutrition, so I can understand your point on that. I don’t need/want/crave the same greens all the time, so I’ve been eating tons of Spring Mix greens & some kale…

• Yeah, chlorinated stuff at the pool up the street. :( Actually, I’m within a couple of hours of the Great Salt Lake, but I don’t have a car. I’ve never been swimming there, but I guess it is so salty that you float pretty easily. :) There is another…

• Hey, ardes! I’m soooo jealous! I went swimming in some kind of saltwater pool on a vacation once when I was a kid, & I’ve wanted to have one near me ever since.

• I didn’t look at the experiment yet, but my neighbor keeps her leftover garden seeds in the freezer & they still grow fine a year later. I have read raw food books that say that “freezing for a long time destroys enzymes.” So maybe it makes a di…

• Ani Phyo has a good recipe for strawberry parfait on her website. If you used blueberries instead of strawberries, it might be sweet enough to not need a sweetener in the topping.

• I got some almonds that were imported from Spain, but they went moldy instead of sprouting. :( Okay, so I’m confused. Someone from the site kevlar gave the link to said (in a post a few weeks ago on goneraw) that it’s not legal to ship the raw almon…

  in sore throat and sinus...help! Comment by angie207
• I got rid of a HORRIBLE sinus infection in two hours once – accidentally! I was making a stuffing for cabbage leaves, and I put in a habanero pepper because I was curious to try one. I ended up just eating half of the mixture by spoonfuls rather tha…

• I had a copper IUD because the pill messed with me too much hormonally. I HATED it! It really messed up my periods – made them heavier and a lot longer. Then after I had it removed, my periods were super light and short. Raw cacao helped heal a lot …

• chicory – Thanks for the link about MSG. Yes, how are you doing? I’m glad you have a doctor who supports your being on a raw diet to help your MS!

  in wish me luck!!!! Comment by angie207
• Okay, so how do I know what is/contains msg? Corn starch & citric acid? Yikes! I thought I had my son off msg a while ago – I only knew “natural flavor” and “yeast extract” as other names of msg. :(

• I agree with going easy on yourself and letting intuition guide you. I love Costco! But for me, eating raw is a higher priority than eating organic, and I can’t afford to do both & I don’t have organic farmers near me, and even the non-organic f…

• If something is really HEALTHY, then you will feel good eating it. My perspective is different now, as things I used to think were healthy, I now know my body does not want. Part of the journey, for me, involves finding ways to enjoy the same emotio…

• I would soak the stuff. I have sprouted buckwheat & then dehydrated the sprouts – great for raw cereal! I love sprouted wheat/barley breads. I agree; it’s a good way for me to get lots of calories/nutrients cheaper than fruit. FYI: Oat groats ar…

• Buy empty supplement capsules & fill them with the spirulina – easier to “swallow” – but cacao & peppermint sounds like a good spirulina-covering combo if I ever heard of one!

  in spirulina.. what to do with it? Comment by angie207
• It has taken a while, but I've found several recipes that aren't too time-consuming, and I make those regularly. I also have found that it doesn't really take much longer to double or triple a recipe if it's not stuff you have to chop or slice - lik…

• dogsuponhotcats - I'm on a budget, too, but you have to eat! Try some sunflower seeds for extra calories, & substitute bananas for some of your other fruits - lots more calories for the money! It's NOT worth it to starve yourself.

• To save time, I do things all at once. IF I’m adding veggies to my salads, I like to chop up a whole head of cauliflower, and/or at least two or three of whatever other veggies. I make big batches of anything that will last more than a day (salad dr…

• Lentils are the easiest & quickest thing to sprout – soak 6 hours, drain, rinse & drain twice a day. They are done in a couple of days, & they hardly ever go bad. Once they’re done sprouting, you can keep them in the fridge for a couple …

• It’s been a little over three years of eating almost all raw, but now I find a salad or a mango is more of a comfort food than hot soup & baked potatoes – I get comfort from the nutrition in a food rather than its temperature. I do not like to b…

• Wow! Good for you! I am amazed & inspired by the way you’re really taking your health into your own hands. “What I really needed was some leafy greens and fresh fruit and a high speed blender!” Hahaha! :D I love how true that is. :)

  in My first real health breakthrough with raw Comment by angie207
• Getting the right balance of foods is definitely important to me! If I eat lots of greens, then I can eat other acid-forming foods with no negative effects (it has to be a balance, and it CAN get too alkaline). When I don’t have enough of the right …
