• Feel better soon Bitt. I think your husband should take you out somewhere nice to cheer you up. :)

• I’m going to pick up a simple, electric juicer this evening. Ooo, I can’t wait. You lucky, lucky people who live where oranges grow – I’m quite a bit jealous. They are shipped to Canada but I’m sure they aren’t the same as fresh off the tree. Thanks…

  in I'm never drinking cooked juice again! Comment by Karuna
• Cooked juice? Really? They cook my ‘not from concentrate’ orange juice? Heavy sigh!!! I have been putting off doing my own juicing but perhaps the time has arrived. I did buy a fancy juicer but I think I just want something basic for fresh orange ju…

  in I'm never drinking cooked juice again! Comment by Karuna
• Clearly this is a ‘hot’ topic :). To answer the question from Mon46, I have not heard anything negative about the water decaf process. Sounds like a good middle ground. I just feel so much better when I don’t drink it. Again, my personal choice. Pea…

  in COFFEE EVIL OR HEAVEN SENT? Comment by Karuna
• I have heard that the chemicals used in the decaffination process are known carcinogens. There are also studies that link decaff coffee to heart disease. I also struggle some days but my personal choice is to try to stay away from it. There’s no jud…

• I agree about the mushrooms. My father was telling me about a conversation he had with an author of “survival in the wilderness” books. He asked him why he didn’t include any information about mushrooms in his books. The author replied that there ar…

  in Be Careful Foraging! Comment by Karuna
• Thanks for all of the information and links. Wow, what a lot of thought and effort. :) I have purged my fridge and freezer of any dairy related items. Once I thought about it, there was quite a bit that I hadn’t associated with dairy. The blood and …

• Oh yeah, thanks. That’s the kind of information I need. Any other yucka stories?

• Is anyone else having problems with this?

  in Problems posting recipe Comment by Karuna
• Thanks everyone. I will experiment with them. I’m disappointed that they’re not raw – I really thought I was choosing the good stuff. ;) Have a great day.

  in Why no milk? Comment by Karuna
• What wonderful ideas. I can’t wait to try some of these. The coconut oil and sea salt especially. I love the statement “apply to face without eating” LMAO. Thanks for sharing.

  in Raw homemade facial masks Comment by Karuna
• I have yet to find young coconuts. The brown hairy ones just don’t seem worth it. I nearly kill myself trying to get into them – after I finally get it open, most of the coconut milk is all over the kitchen counter – then it’s really hard to get the…

• Kathrynintheraw, thanks for the youtube link. That was great.

  in Emotional Detoxing? Comment by Karuna
• Oh thank God!!!! I thought it was just me. Talk about grumpy and emotional – it’s like full blown PMS all day, every day. I could have a heaving, sobbing, ground-shaking cry at any moment. There doesn’t even have to be anything wrong – could just se…

  in Emotional Detoxing? Comment by Karuna
• I agree with Meditating – sounds like the doctors are trying to be recognized for something…whether it’s valid or not. Not really worth listening to IMHO. I believe that everyone has individual requirements and that we need to pay attention to our b…

  in Fruitarian Bloodwork Analysis Comment by Karuna
• I’m so pleased to hear that others have the same struggles as me. I was very ‘gung ho’ at the beginning but have found that as my world has become busier, my motivation is slipping. For the past 2 months I have only been about 50% raw (if that, some…

• Congratulations and good luck. Let us know how things are going.

  in Raw Kiwi Comment by Karuna
• I agree with the idea of drying in the sun – especially now that it’s summertime. I wouldn’t recommend using the oven for no other reason than it’s a terrible waste of electricity/gas. Good luck.

  in ? about dehydrator! Comment by Karuna
• Oh – poor you. :( But know what – with the price of gas these days, who will laugh last? It’s summertime and you had a bike to hang the bags on – maybe not so bad :) Have a nice rest tonight and enjoy the ‘fruits’ of your labour. Peace, Karuna

• I’m not sure why this is a problem.

  in having digestion problems (sorry for the poo talk) Comment by Karuna
• Hi Bitt – back pain is the worst – affects everything you do. I found that losing weight fixed my back problems. I don’t know if that’s a factor for you but thought I would mention it.

  in help needed: tried everything Comment by Karuna
• I have been hearing the banana shortage rumor on and off for about 10 years – and so far, I haven’t noticed any change in availability. If it happens then I too will miss them – I have at least one every day. I find that they help me stay full for a…

  in no more bananas?! Comment by Karuna
• I believe in listening to your body – it will tell you if you are eating what it needs – you just need to pay attention.

  in Desserts! Can you really have too many? Comment by Karuna
• Chelsey – bring your own food. Pack up a few things (some fresh fruit and vegetables – a trail mix of nuts, goji berries, seeds and other dried fruits) – maybe grab a nice big watermelon on the way to share. Does your family know you are raw? Also, …

  in AHH HELP FAST! Comment by Karuna
• It sure makes starting my own garden more appealing. I have the space but not necessarily the time. Being single, I have enough to do with a full time job and a house to look after. Maybe I will do a few pots on the patio with greens and tomatoes. I…
