• It is good for me to read other people’s stories as well….MS is such a diverse group of symptoms, grades of remission and non-remission that it really is true each person is unique. My father was diagnosed in 1975, when the condition was practically…

• For me…the tendancies I have towards being obsessive about food (and I am) seems to be exacerbated by the constant planning I do to stay raw and keep my non-raw husband and family satisfied. I definitely spend three hours a day planning, cooking, so…

• A month ago I bought a Lalane juicer from Costco for $100. I’d never had a juicer before and didn’t want to invest in a $450 Champion if we weren’t going to use it. Turns out we LOVE green juices for the morning meal, so we use it every day, which m…

• I stir nutritional yeast into olive oil until thickened (several heaping TBLS) and then salt to taste, and keep it in the fridge in a covered jar. I pull it out as a spread on ‘bread’ or crackers, as a rich dipping sauce for vegetables like cauliflo…
