• I don’t know for sure, but a friend of mine said that she has read a lot of things about how a lot of things are labelled as organic when they really aren’t. Also, to be organic (this part I know), the farmer is supposed to use organic seeds IF AVAI…

• chriscarlton – thanks for that statistic! I have a lot of cancer in my family – that showed up while alive &/or was the cause of death, and people with diabetes have a greater risk of getting cancer. I used to think “Just sign me up for chemo no…

• Juice feasting is discussed in Gabriel Cousens’s book “Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine” – but I don’t think he gives specific recipes, just what it is. One gallon or more per day of green juice: celery, cucumber, & 2 pounds of leafy greens, occa…

• I never thought of dehydrating celery – do you juice it & dehydrate the juice? & in what kind of container?

• Green juices will get good nutrition into your body quickly and help with the headaches & other symptoms of detox. You may also want to look at your water intake – drinking lots helps flush the toxins out so they don’t cause you so much discomfo…

  in Dangers of eating garlic? Comment by angie207
• Wow – Welcome and thanks for sharing! I have been eating high raw for about 3 years but have been eating more cooked foods lately due to illness (I didn’t have energy enough to make my own food) and lack of money. I’m now getting back on track after…

• I forgot to mention that I rinse mine at least once during the soaking process – just drain, rinse, drain again and then put clean water in. I soak almonds for 24 hours, too, but yeah, cashews don’t need that long.

  in nut milk Comment by angie207
• Soak nuts for 12 – 24 hours. Drain, rinse, and put them in the blender with water – I use about a cup of hazelnuts (measured before soaking) and 3 or 4 cups of water. Blend the nuts and water well, and pour the mixture through a nutmilk bag or sprou…

• suzyq – thanks for all the info.! I knew we didn’t get enough sun in the winter, but it’s good to know it’s only November through February. I do pretty well if I’m in the sun plenty during the summer & eat lots of sunflower seeds during the wint…

• Okay, I have seen Fred Bisci – on the Raw For Life DVD - He IS a beautiful raw foodist. I wouldn’t have put him at 80! You’d think I would learn :) I also have never seen the book anywhere. Thanks for the info.

  in So many questions..!!?? Comment by angie207
• Why is your nutritionist wanting you to eat the fish & egg whites – protein? Or something else? Hemp seeds, buckwheat, & goji berries are all sources of complete protein, meaning they have all the amino acids our bodies can’t produce, and th…

• I think it says “unheated” because they now use some ingredients that aren’t raw (probably nuts) but then they don’t heat the bar…like nama shoyu is made from cooked soybeans but is “unpasteurized.”

• Allow yourself to throw away anything you don’t like – that’s how I got good at making lots of really good stuff. If I thought I had to eat everything I made, I never would have been so willing to experiment & try new things. I agree about takin…

• I ate a lot of pineapple & limes for smaller amounts of iodine, but I also ate a lot of kelp noodles – yummy! I keep a powdered kelp (in capsules) supplement around for when I can’t get kelp noodles or if I feel I need more of it.

• Uva Ursi is one for kidney & bladder problems – I also use colloidal silver for anything that a doc would prescribe an antibiotic for, & then follow it up with probiotic supplements because it kills good AND bad bacteria.

• Nuts & seeds are good sources of phosphorous. Calcium & phosphorous have to be balanced. Too much of either one will cause the other to be leached from the bones & cause osteoporosis, so people who take lots of calcium supplements can so…

• I used to crave the cheese only when I needed what was in it nutritionally – I’m so glad to be aware of more foods now for that, but yesterday it was habit. My phosphorous levels were super-low from being sick, and the raw goat cheese has a lot of p…

• have_mersey – I guess I knew what you meant. I didn’t think of it that way because I never tell people that cooked food is bad, so we just have a different approach. Thanks for your post :) I have definitely “been there, done that” with not wanting …

• have_mersey – That’s interesting about how you felt after eating the scones. I keep feeling that I really need grains, but I don’t know how to use them raw very much, which is why I bought the Manna bread. I got to go buy food, cuz my mom saw how yu…

  in AH! BREAD! Comment by angie207
• I was so weak & tired when I got out of the hospital a week and a half ago, that I bought Manna bread because I didn’t feel up to making ANYTHING! I ate a little bit of it (along with salads, fruit, veggies, etc.) for a couple of days and then d…

• Definitely more expensive! Organic stuff here is often 2 – 3 times the price, if not more! I now spend at least $100 more per month on food – just for myself, and that’s when I’m being really frugal – than I did before, but I consider it money I don…

• I know what you mean :) I don’t know what Wetherspoons is, but it’s too bad – if enough people want things, then they become cost effective even if you have to charge more to make them that way. People pay for what they really want. There is a healt…

• I wanted to comment to whomever said that you can’t detox too fast. The reason a lot of fruitarians & other raw foodies have problems with their teeth after a while is that eating a lot of fruit causes the body to cleanse quickly, dumping acids …
