• Hello! I’m no expert, but I have read a lot of information from a couple of doctors who promote low-fat vegan diets to help decrease symptoms of bursitis/arthritis, and particularly avoiding dairy products seems to make a big difference in their exp…

• Hot showers wash away so much, emotionally speaking, because they are so very soothing and comforting to me. Walking helps me de-fuse anger/frustration. Talking to a trusted friend (or sister) helps. I still slip sometimes because I have used/abused…

• Greens and fruit make up most of my diet. Simple, clean, yummy, and just what my body needs right now.

• Legs-up-the-wall is my favorite! So restorative and healing! Also, attitude is so important. I have followed the lead of my big sister (she is 9 years older than I) in approaching aging with wonder and gratitude. She has taught me to look at myself …

  in Anyone going through menopause and raw? Comment by rawgramma
• Hi, Alix! I am 46 and had a hysterectomy at age 35. Since I got to keep my ovaries, I have not yet gone through menopause (hormonally anyway). I do wish I had information to share with you regarding menopause and related symptoms; however, I did wan…

• Sweet Tomatoes (aka Souplantation)! They have the biggest salad bar I have ever seen and everything is very fresh and beautiful. I also enjoy Thai restaurants although, as germin8 pointed out, the wraps and salads aren’t completely raw…but so yummy!

• Portland restaurants: Blossoming Lotus is very good! Nutshell (3808 N Williams) is a vegan restaurant and serves a raw lasagna that is very nice. It has balsamic vinegar on it so I’m not sure that it is 100% raw (I’m still confused about all of the …

• Hi sunrise! I have been raw since August 2007, although never 100% (close, probably 90% or more, but never 100%). I have lost weight; 15 pounds during the first 30 days and more since then, although I don’t own a scale so I’m not sure how much. I am…

• Number one is my high-speed blender. I use it every day. Second would be the food processor, third is the juicer (it’s a basic juiceman), and last but not least is my dehydrator. I suspect the dehydrator will see more use during the summer and fall …

• Bluedolfin ~ Well…maybe. My daughter is open to trying most things, it’s our husbands that turn things down when it comes to unfamiliar food. My husband will try the sweet treats and smoothies, but that’s about it. Perhaps we’ll just have to spend s…

• Hi Pam! I happen to own a Nesco dehydrator because it was the most affordable way to get started on my raw adventure. The tray depth is one-half inch (I just measured it to be sure). Perhaps not tall enough for stuffed mushrooms. :-(
