• Just to clarify, when you guys are talking about 'juice fast' are you talking about juice made in a blender or in a juicer? It seems to me that there is a big difference between the two, and I am not sure which one is better for cleaning/healing pur…

• I forgot to mention the golden sweetner of them all: Dates, and date "juice". These give you more sweetness than any other thing could. Again, a whole food whith all the minerals and the good stuff in them. :0]

• Just a clarification for the newbies. It is possible to be raw and not to depend on any sweetners at all. You can use pinapple, orange, and bananas if you feel that you need the the extra kick of the sugar. For example, when I have granola for break…

• Orangutan, I am not sure what dehydrator you are using, but I think that the normal tray is the one that has some kind of holes in it. If you are using Excalibur, it would be the plastic white meshy one. The change is because the air circulates bett…

• Hi ariadne. I would say ‘take it easy’. The fastest you go down, more laxity and strech marks you will notice. This is not a problem only for obese people, once when I was sick I lost a lot of weight in one week, and got lots of strech marks that we…

  in buying dehydrated fruit Comment by rawlizard
• I agree with the others, the process is usually industrial and non-raw. You could also ask the customer service of your health store about this. Have them contact the provider if necessary, or get the provider’s contact info. Good luck.

• I have done what 1sweetpea describes, and the key is to dehydrate the nuts until they are very very dried. Then grind in coffe rinder and voila, you end up with nut flour.

• EasyCheeta, no worries, I’m glad to hear that you are not like that. I am a believer that is in the best interest of humankind to help each other and try to make our society a better place to leave, for the low paid and the 200K+ paid. :)

  in Barack Obama Test Comment by rawlizard
• Yes JoyceH. Cheeta’s post also rubed me wrong because I feel that it is somewhat disrespectful not to acknowledge the hard work that many low paid people do every day.
