• Okay, I guess I have heard of/seen/maybe eaten? caprese salad; I just didn’t know that was what it was called. I am going to start making the cheese now! :) I will have to post the breakfast bread recipe, too.

• Thank you so much! You guys are making me want to cry :) Yes, I have a dehydrator, and yes, I can have limes! The fajitas sound wonderful! I have made pizza crust with just ground flax seeds and seasonings, & I have also made a breakfast bread/c…

• Winona – I can’t have carrots or parsnips for the first few months, but the pesto is a great idea! I will think about the spiralizer for after the initial phase – do you know what brand(s) can do hard veggies? I remembered I have also made good raw …

• Oops! I’ve been reading further, and no buckwheat or quinoa for the first 3 – 6 months, either, but I can have cacao & Himalayan or Celtic salt. I’ll edit my list. GreggX999 – The diet Dr. Cousens recommends is lowfat, too. His method of no frui…

• Hippie Chick – Yes! Let’s stay in touch. GregX999 Thanks for the info. about the book. Let me know when you’ve read more. Most diabetes is type 2 & that is what the books tend to focus on. Let me know if it says anything about type 1. :)

• newbie – thanks for the ideas. No rejuvelac, though – no grains, except buckwheat & quinoa, which are seeds that are sort of like grains. I’ll edit my list to reflect that. Yes, I have made the cream cheese – yum! Is Green For Life Ani’s book? O…

• newbie – I didn’t see your post before. Thanks for the ideas – I have never liked the idea of greens & fruit together, so the savory green drinks I might really like, and the buckwheat cereal sounds good! I knew about cinnamon, but not about chi…

• Okay, so the list of foods I can eat for the first 3 – 6 months is even smaller than I thought. I’ll post the list & maybe people can help with recipes? Although the Rainbow Green book has some recipes, I would always welcome more :)

• lzhpt – Interesting. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder, not metabolic, but the information could still apply, I suppose. Thanks! I started reading “Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine” by Dr. Cousens, and already I am learning a ton!

• I just saw your last post. The pump was a life saver for me because I hadn’t found raw food yet. But, I feel like the pump has made it easier for me to be slow about really making the changes to get well, because it has made it so convenient to be d…

• Tryingraw – sorry, I forgot about the decreasing insulin question. Doctors will say that you should only decrease it when your blood sugar is getting too low with the amount of insulin you are taking. I haven’t read/heard Dr. Cousens’s method yet, s…

• I know that raw foods alone will reverse type 2 diabetes, and even when I ate fruit & honey, I only needed about one-third the amount of insulin as when I ate cooked food, but I am not totally well, yet, and that is my goal – to be 100% healed! …

  in What's your favorite recipe on this site? Comment by angie207
• I got the Omega 8005 Juicer, and it is made to do leafy greens. Champion will also do them. You have to buy a juicer that specifically says it will do leafy greens.

  in Sunflower sprouts???? Comment by angie207

• It’s funny; I think that subconsciously, I thought I could do raw for a few years, only until my most serious health problems are healed, & then I can be “normal” again. A couple of times going back to healthy cooked food, and I realize that the…

• Gopal’s – but they use the cashews that aren’t really raw, honey (which strict vegans don’t use), nutritional yeast in some things, etc. But if you are not strict 100 % raw vegan, their stuff tastes really yummy! I was addicted to their Carob Mint K…

• Also, about the inspectors getting paid by the farm owners: people tend to do what the people paying them want them to do, so that could easily be a corrupt practice, too, but telling the public it is humane.
