  • I lived in Europe (Germany) several years and also spent some time in England. When I lived in Germany, the goverment gave a ‘salary’ (basically money for clothes and food so people survive the Winter and don’t starve) to people that had lost their …
  • I am so surprised see people in this group that are so insensitive to other peoples’ lives and challenges. I am also sorry to hear that some think that their jobs are the hardest in the whole world, and that lower paid jobs are the easiest. They ove…
  • If you have problems with acne then anything with oil even if it is natural will not make your skin better. It seems like your skin is very sensitive too. If I were you I would try to stick with only natural and unprocessed stuff. I know it sounds c…
  • Hi chicory, where in the East do you live? I live in Maryland, near Whashington DC.
  • Jeff, I absolutely looove beer, but I don’t drink it anymore. I found that raw kombucha is a good substitue since it has natural bubbles and somewhat has alcoholic like flavor. Actually, it has a 0.5% of alcohol owed to natural fermentation.
  • Bluedolphin, the food combination may represent a problem for the baby’s diestive system…milk and fruit, fruit and veggies. When you introduce first foods, you usually do one at the time for a week or so, before you introduce a second one. Combinati…
  • rawquad. I am glad that you asked that question. In my opinion a baby is not ready to eat solid food until he/she has teeth. If there are no teeth, then that’s the way for nature to tell us that the baby is not yet ready. Teeth appear at 8 months, a…
  • B complex and vitamine C with flavonoids work wonders for me. Bs are better if you take them in the morning since they may produce insomnia. They also may change the color of your urine to a intese yellow. :)
  • kennyt, this is interesting; I am experiencing exactly the opposite. As you, I’ve been raising my raw food consumption to 95% during the last three days. The first night I was not able to sleep until 3:00, very unusual for me (I am usually in bed an…

  • Thank you so much for all the links and your feedback! I’ve been using apple cider vinegar instead, and the recipes come out very good. Thank you all.
  • I spend about $1,400 a month, but we are a family of 5, and my two children are on special diets. I but everything organic, lots of fruits and veggies and ocassionaly I get some nuts and seeds. My friend, not raw by any strech of the imagination,spe…
  • Interesting…Let’s no blame it all on the “smart” bankers. This endless and VERY expensive war has contributed to lead this country to this bad financial situation. What is first is first. Let’s stop the war and save millions, billions perhaps; that …
  • There is even another option you may want to consider. Let the potato (or any other vegetables) “transpire” for a long while. This means cooking with low heat, but for longer. You put the sweet potato in a pan with some water, and then you bring it …
  • EasyCheetah, that’s hilarious (and very ingenious too). I think that it is an excellent idea what you are saying about exploiting children’s sweet tooth. I will defenitely try that one. jenoz, my kids are 6 and 8, so I think that I still have some t…
  • Thank you so much for your comments. annalea, thank you for your suggestions. I have tried in the past to stick to whatever we have in the menu and have my daughter eat only that. It didn’t really work very well, since she ate only the minimal amoun…
  • Thank you RAWcure and Karmyngirl. Do any of you eat nuts? I’ve heard that sometimes they can be problematic for people with IBS.
    in IBS anyone??? Comment by rawlizard
  • When one of my children gets a bad bronchitis like cough, it usually means hell for all of us (kids and sleep deprived parents). But not when I do to them what my great grandmother use to do to my grandfather. I will love to talk more about the natu…
  • Branwyn32, I found an excellent way of making hempseed shakes without the bitter taste. Somehow the food combination works like a miracle and the final product even taste like made with real milk. This is what you do: Blend a couple of tablespoons i…
  • Are organic bananas also Hybridized? I thought that if they were organic they needed to be in thier original state...? but then I think about the organic grapes without seeds that are everywhere... (by the way this forum opened my banana cravings. I…
  • If you have a severe case of candida, the correct diet and a colon cleanse may not be enough. Acidophilus are particularly good against candida and help a lot with any gut problems you may have (populates the small intestine). Start slowly with one …

  • Trader Joes only sells in the stores. They have great raw cashews, almonds, pignolias, etc. If we could only find a way to get them to you.
    in mold from nuts? Comment by rawlizard
  • My understading is that coconuts are not nuts, it is actually a fruit, despite the “nut” ending. At least that is what the doctor of my highly nut-allergic daughter said when I ask him if coconut poses a problem for her.
  • I had terrible acid reflux, in addition to other intestinal maladies. It was terrible. After much suffering (and lots of money spent in doctors and exams) I realized that doctors were not able to help me. They recommend me to avoid spices, tomatoes,…
  • Chicory, that’s so interesting! I grew up in the city and I always dreamed about leaving in a farm and canning (in jars, that is) my own food! Now that I am mostly raw, I wonder if there is a way of preserving veggies and fruits besides dehydrating.…
  • Rawcure, chelation is a rather delicate procedure, and you want to do it under a doctor's supervision. Not any doctor mind you, a doctor that has several year of experince doing chelation with children in the spectrum. Mercury not only binds to the …

  • I live near Washington DC (in the suburbs) and I know only one vegan person that also happens to be raw. People usually look at me as I were the most crazy person they've ever seen...
