• I feel like everyone has to find what works for them. Eating raw makes me happy and makes me feel good, but it is a lifestyle choice in addition to being a health choice and although right for me takes a lot of time, energy, focus (for me at least).…

• I had a really bad cyst that would not go away. My derm was worried they would have to do some horrible procedure that involved cutting it out. Anyway, I increased my zinc and selium and that really worked for me. I also notice that when I’ve done f…

• You brush away from the heart to brush the lymph away and to the outter tips of the body, or at least that’s my understanding. You don’t want lymph, which contains toxins, backing up or getting pushed somewhere it shouldn’t be.

• My hubby is French and we are spending the summer in Lyon. I can’t imagine not indulging in some wine, especially since I won’t be eating any of the food. I’m sure my in-laws would think I’m nuts! :) I’m wondering if the health benefits of wine outw…

• Do NOT give your baby nut milk. I would shy away from that and soy milk. If your baby is showing signs of being lactose intolerent it is possible that your baby has other allergies and giving things too early, like nuts, can actually cause allergies…

• My daughter is allergic to wheat, soy, nuts, dairy, seafood and shellfish. I loved seafood, but we had to banish it from our home because it was not good for our daughter. It can feel like you are being deprived, but I really think that depends on h…

• Balance in eating, to me, means eating a diet that provides enough of everything your body needs to keep you healthy and in harmony. An imbalanced diet (too much or too little of anything) can cause problems.

  in I only eat smoothies-my wife's worried Comment by curlysparkle
• Why are you just drinking green drinks rather that incorporating other raw foods into your diet? I know you mentioned that juicing was doing the work saving the stomach energy, however I wondered if there were any other reasons. In terms of being sk…

• I feel your pain. It’s doubly expensive for me because I have a DH and two children who are not on the same speed in the raw journey as I am. I still have to buy jucie boxes for lunches and snacks that they both can (and will) eat. One of my kids ha…

• Kandace, No worries on drinking the water! I was like.. eww…. is that what I’m eating! Scary! :)

  in Soaking Nuts Comment by curlysparkle
• Is it normal for the water to change color? The first time I soaked nuts it seemed the water looked somewhat gray when I rinsed them.

• One of my friends, a fellow mom of children with allergies, has a “birthday party kit” that she always has ready. She keeps cupcakes in the fridge (she’s vegan, but not raw) and other easy to grab treats on hand so that she always has them for speci…

• My 2-year-old DD has severe food allergies (dairy, soy, wheat, nuts, seafood, shellfish) and she has pretty much always been excluded from party food and will be even more so as I am transitioning her to raw. That said, it’s not really so bad for th…

• In addition to the MSM, I would suggest Biotin if you don’t already take a Vitamin that contains it. I take MSM and can’t take large doses. I take around 500-1000 mg a day and always with food. My aunt swears that taking probiotics helps, but I don’…

• I think I saw the recipie here, maybe. We can’t use coconut oil on her skin. I don’t know if technically it’s a nut, but it makes her itch. Same for Shea butter. We also have to stay away from Honey. When I got home from work yesterday, my DH had al…

• I got some flax oil over the weekend to include in her foods. I do give her hempmilk (we are transitioning to raw) and she does drink that, although I haven’t noticed an improvment in her skin or other ailments, but that’s probably because she needs…

• Not to sound negative or whatever, but I would not continue taking any of the pills if your heart is beating really quickly. What are the ingridents in the pills? Even some natural products can have bad side effects and while it could be a part of t…

• I apologize for getting the name wrong, forrestlyone. Again, another unappealing, unnecessary comment though, 123, and continued discouragement for a newbie. I didn’t realize that there were “rules” about posting and that only if you are a part of t…

  in daily vitamin/supplements Comment by curlysparkle
• That is the unappealing attitude I was speaking of, Forrestlyone. I never said Iron was a vitamin. I used the word “supplement” as this thread is about Vitamins/Supplements and I was sharing my experience related to that specific supplement, as some…

• As a newbie, I’ve found this thread to be somewhat discouraging and a big judgmental. People take supplements for a variety of reasons when sometimes they are unable to get the nutrients from a natural source for whatever reason. For example, I was …
