• pianissima – thanks for the ideas; I have sometimes thought it would be great to drink cucumber juice as much as I wanted, and the shelter idea is great! There is a food & care coalition where I used to volunteer – people can go there for a free…

  in gardening - how to use veggies Comment by angie207
• Thanks – my son wants to try to sell the veggies to neighbors, but most of our neighbors grow their own gardens, and sometimes it’s hard to even give some of the stuff away! :)

• Okay, I looked at the link, and it’s a totally different from my reference – I guess I’ll stick with mine for now since it’s more about long-term sustainability, but this method sounds like it’s super easy and definitely saving money! Mine’s a lot o…

• If you are on an acre, you might like “How To Grow More Vegetables” by John Jeavons – It is the biointensive method and I love it – more yield in less space than traditional gardening, and it also talks about how to give back and feed the soil, grow…

• I just buy the enemas in bottles – the disposable ones – and empty them and then fill with the warm water, cuz I don’t know where to buy empty enema kits. Larger size is better on the enemas, too, or you can just fill the small one twice.

  in Can you tell me about DETOX? Comment by angie207
• Detox is something to be prepared for, but not necessarily feared. It is your body getting rid of toxins that have been hidden away inside your body, and those toxins coming out can cause symptoms just like if they were just put into your body again…

• I would go with what feels good to you. If you have hypoglycemia or other blood sugar problems it’s not a good idea, but if not, it’s probably not a big deal. Just be sure to drink plenty of water, too – like alternate juice, water back and forth an…

• Who are you apologizing to? Your choices are for you. :)

  in Low Blood Pressure Comment by angie207
• Another interesting thought – fruit ripens, and then it gets eaten by animals, who then poop out the seeds somewhere else, and that’s how the plants grow more plants. If we left them alone, apricots and apples would drop from the tree. Wheat grows m…

• pianissima – totally agree! Yuck, not what my body needs or wants – I would never eat an animal now, unless the “times of scarcity” took over, and I couldn’t get anything else. But I store extra food and am learning about wild edibles, too, so as to…

• Oh, yeah, when you pick a carrot, it doesn’t grow back. :) I grew up eating animals only after they had lived a happy life as our pets (chickens, goats, etc.). So how is eating an animal that has been treated well and is done with its normal life a …

• Freezing for a long time destroys enzymes. I freeze things like pies and ice creams that I’m going to eat in a few days, and fruit in the summer when it grows here & I’m not going to get it all eaten. I have also frozen things like raw corn tort…

• No, it goes bad pretty quick after opening, so if you find the water for sale alone, it’s not raw and often has sugar & stuff added to it, but some of the runners on this site take fresh young coconut water with them when running (just put it in…

  in Doctors Orders..... Comment by angie207
• I am not eating cooked food now, but for the first couple of years, I ate meat (salmon, beef, or chicken, usually) and then everything else raw. It was a good way for me to transition. Everyone is different, and the important thing is to pay attenti…

• Winona – I love the spinach-stuffed meatloaf recipe on this site, but I sometimes make it without the spinach and just dehydrate it in patties so it’s faster. I make whatever barbecuey sauce and put on it. I have also made the mixture with less sun-…

  in Monthly Food Bill? Comment by angie207
• I also don’t have a car so that I can afford to eat raw. :) I had the opportunity last year to buy my friend’s car really cheap, and the insurance would have been cheap, too, but I wouldn’t have been able to afford eating raw. Great decision for me,…

• Winona – I know what you mean about eating the best food you’ve ever eaten – makes me grateful & joyous and I just smile inside when people ask me what in the world I eat – carrots and salad? heeheehee :) If they only knew – fresh pineapple, raw…

• Winona – Should you feel bad because someone criticizes something you do? What kind of question is that? Who is in charge of your life – them or you? Love ya!

  in Monthly Food Bill? Comment by angie207
• I spend at least $350 per month for me raw & my 6-yr-old son not raw. That’s only because that’s how much I CAN spend – I spend every spare penny on food beyond that. I’m able to do raw with that amount only cuz I buy in bulk as much as possible…

• Sounds like she has issues with controlling others – maybe she feels out of control in her own life? Like your hubby is explaining why YOU and HE want to drink wheatgrass juice, so she starts talking about why she can’t/won’t do it for HER nad HER H…

• lzhpt – thanks for the info. about the DVD. It’s true that people just don’t know. My grandpa ran a hamburger stand when he was in college. He said to us once that they had paid a premium price to get the best quality beef, and he figured that McDon…

• daniefon – funny! :D I love it – the cartoon, and your response to that question. I had a lady ask me where I get calcium if I don’t eat dairy? hahaha as if dairy is really giving people the calcium they need! I told her I get so much calcium from e…

• digging our own graves with spoons, huh? Interesting analogy :) True – vegetarians used to be the “crazy” or “extreme” ones, now we are. Things are definitely changing for the better, even if it’s slow.

• elizabethh – exactly what Alissa Cohen said (though not exactly those words) and I agree! Wish I could remember her exact response, cuz it was great :)
