• I finally looked in Louise Hay’s book “You Can Heal Your Life.” She says some probable causes are: gripping. fear. undigested ideas. Haha, I realized I hadn’t yet digested the idea of the drastic changes I have just made. I spent a whole day just re…

• I have had the same thing happening lately, just since I quit eating meat and started eating a ton more salad/greens than ever before. I feel like it is just that my body is cleansing. I have started drinking lots of water between meals and I am goi…

• I don’t have an ice cream maker, but I have made several “ice creams” that freeze and still stay creamy. I just posted my chocolate ice cream/pie filling recipe, as well as my pie crust recipe, which makes a great creamy chocolate pie. I have other …

• I looked at the Twinlabs brand of supplements – they have sorbitol. There was another brand I looked at which had fructose instead of sorbitol, but it was a super high amount of B12 in each sublingual tab (50,000% RDA). I may buy it anyway and just …

• I checked my source again and it said that rejuvelac has lots of B vitamins, but it didn’t say specifically B12, so I don’t know if it really does or not – Sorry!

• Yammygirl, a friend of mine goes to a clinic where she can just request and pay for the B12 shot – less than $20 – and they can give one as often as every 2 weeks. If your HMO isn’t cooperative, it might be worth trying to find a clinic that will do…

• Rejuvelac and raw sauerkraut (Rejuvenative Foods is the brand I have used) have cultures that help us absorb it. One reason it takes a while to feel deficient after the initial “raw food rush” is simply that it can take as long as 10 years before yo…

  in B12 - raw achilles heel? Comment by angie207
• This is so interesting! I’ve had some of the mental/emotional parts of eating disorders, but I’ve never acted on them physically – I tried to go raw because I “should” and it was a crazy battle for six weeks, having to eat 100% raw so I wouldn’t liv…

• The Raw For Life DVD has a pizza recipe that is worth the price of the DVD!

• Awesome! I am just in the process of transitioning away from meat and dairy. For the last 2 1/2 years, I have felt best eating all natural meats (cooked) and eating everything else raw. I was also eating raw milk (rarely) and raw goat cheese. I didn…

• Avocados & raw olives are good for protein, and bee pollen is excellent for protein & vitamin B12. The bee pollen (granules) you can mix into smoothies, desserts, etc. or you can get bee pollen in capsules & just take as a supplement. ww…

  in A slight concern Comment by angie207
• I don’t like banana, either. I use avocado,soaked & blended nuts, or, more often, young coconut meat (depending on the recipe), and just add dates or agave to make up for the sweetness the bananas would add.

  in Subsitute for Banana? Comment by angie207
• Angela33, I have always had a weak immune system, so I still have gotten sick, but I am noticing it is not as severe & not as often the more I eat raw. Also, I just thought of something. When a person is cleansing (which definitely happens by ea…

  in Who actually feels amazing? Comment by angie207
• MOTH, David Wolfe says that drugs create a false sense of alkalinity, and that if we alkalize our bodies (especially with green foods and green juices), the drugs will then create a low instead of a high, and we won’t want them. Who knew that drug r…

• I have been eating mostly raw most of the time for two and a half years. I lost 40 pounds in the first four months and then maintained that weight. I have type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes, and within a few weeks I was using only one-third the ins…

  in Who actually feels amazing? Comment by angie207
• I think it’s interesting – this topic has made me realize again that we are all sooooo different. We are all talking about a raw food diet, and yet there are tons of different “diets” within even this one way of eating. What I love is that we all ca…

  in Bananas: Friend or Foe? Comment by angie207
• Moderation, to me now as I am willing to eat just what is best for my body, means that I eat what my body wants, and that changes based on the circumstances I am in and the foods available to me. The thought of green smoothies grosses me out, but th…

  in Bananas: Friend or Foe? Comment by angie207
• p.s. I have type I diabetes, and as long as I eat raw, I use way less insulin. The bananas (even when I was eating a ton of them) didn’t seem to have any negative effect on my blood sugar levels or insulin efficiency.

  in Bananas: Friend or Foe? Comment by angie207
• I have to agree with juicy & others: listen to your body and pave your own path! There are a lot of foods besides bananas (grains, legumes, root vegetables, etc.) of which we don’t have ancient varieties available any more. I have now started ea…

• I have started ordering things in bulk that I use a lot, like nuts, seeds, coconut oil, agave, etc. I don’t know if they deliver where you live, but Azure Standard is great for this type of ordering – just check their prices against your local sourc…

• ShannonM, I agree with you on the lack of scientific credibility in people who are dispensing nutrition advice. I like to read people’s ideas, yet I only use &/or repeat what fits me, or if I think it may help someone else. I don’t, however, exp…

  in Can going raw help keep your hair color? Comment by angie207
• “Premature gray hair is caused by a lack of B vitamins, a deficiency of raw fatty acids, and trace minerals (silicon, sulfur, and copper).” This is from the book “Eating For Beauty” by David Wolfe. He talks about Ann Wigmore and recommends Rejuvelac…

• Yans & sweet potatoes – the orange ones are called yams here (at EVERY store and the light flesh ones sweet potatoes). I have eaten the light ones just fine; I have never tried the orange ones. My family & I have also eaten rhubarb stems raw…

  in What vegetables can't be eaten raw? Comment by angie207
• Dry hard beans (if not sprouted or cooked) have something in them which makes your stomach unable to stop producing hydrochloric acid, and you basically digest yourself to death. People have died from it. So, don’t grind dry beans and use them in ra…

  in Does anyone have the Raw For Life DVD? Comment by angie207
• Marysia, Thanks for the encouragement. I need it! I got my DVD, and already I have learned things I never knew before about diabetes. Also, I think a couple of the recipes on the DVD are well worth the $30 I spent on it! Raw For 30 Days is great! I …

• I just ordered the DVD, too, and I can’t wait to get it. As for detox & cleansing, I have had to go soooo slow. I had an iridologist warn me that with the weakness of some of my systems (Type I diabetes, low thyroid, etc.) I would cleanse too fa…

• I don’t know, bee pollen appeals to me much more than ants, since either one would be non-vegan :) Whatever works, I guess!
