  • I only have a second here but I jsut wanted to tell you no, you are not crazy. Follow your soul and what Nature tells you. I’m a fellow Pagan of the mostly Wiccan persuasion as well :) Blessed Be!
  • No problem! We have an amazing dog food “boutique” here called Top Dogs that we’d send all our patients to for high quality foods and prepackaged frozen raw foods, for people that didn’t want to do the BARF prep work themselves. The staff there is v…
  • BARF (bones and raw food) diets can do WONDERS for a dogs health, as aspire’s story proves. Start out under the supervision of a vet though, as different dogs with different health issues need different balances of nutrients. Many “western” vets are…
  • How exactly do you make it? I take it the process is different than the whole soak, grind, soak, drip thru muslin, etc of making nut milk?
  • amysue thank you! I actually did crack one open last night for the electrolytes :) I’m eating the remains as we speak :) I’ve still not been able to get the hang of opening them with a few whacks though! I just dropped mine off the 2nd story balcony…
  • durianrider 1) in case you can’t read, that 1/4 cup was the only milk I’ve had in 6 weeks, BECAUSE I RAN OUT OF NUTMILK (it WENT BAD). I have a job to pay for my education so I can do something I love (theatre and music), and don’t have the governme…
  • Thanks for the thoughts TomsMom! They’re appreciated. I will try some English tea…I have tons of it. I’ve not had any since I started cutting down dairy drastically…I wonder how it would taste with vanilla hempmilk? Hmm… Steady supply of misery…I lo…
  • superpapaya that sucks! Thank you for the well wishes, I’m definitely drinking water like mad. Bluedolfin – Thanks. I had a few bites of solids today and I think it was a mistake, but nothing major. My mom had a fish taco earlier that I took a coupl…
  • TomsMom – Thank you. I’ve never had food poisoning before…total suckage. It’s getting a little better…no more vomiting and far fewer bathroom trips…but I still have no idea where what’s coming out of me is coming from, good lord! I have no insurance…
  • Lindsaylou…I’ve had a little bit of dairy cheese here and there,but I haven’t actually had straight milk in probably about 6 weeks. I believe you tho! So most of the nausea has gone away now but my stomach just hurts. I’ve been in the bathroom like …
  • Bluedolfin and shakes…thank you both for the words of wisdom and well wishes! I will definitely remember to chew better and drink more water with stuff like that. I know I don’t chew it that well, as the wheat berries ended up being rock hard after …
  • Chicory…yes extremely acidic, it burned my throat something fierce. I figured the combination of everything all at once was too much too. I’m still burping acid now. Some of it did hit my intestines cuz it came out that end, but I think the majority…
  • 1) Great info here! I worked at an animal hospital for a while and was familiar w/the health improvements of pets on raw diets, but the raw prey diet is new to me, and makes the most sense. Thanks for all the wonderful info RawKidChef! 2)YOU’RE ONLY…
  • Thanks! Looking forward to your recipe. I had my first concord grape a few weeks ago at Whole Foods, and I couldn’t believe the amazing sweet juicy jelly texture of them! I’m going to a local farm to pick some this weekend. :)
  • TreeOfLife you have an excellent point! I guess I’m just scared like most others. I lack experience in cycling (though I love it), bike maintenance, and backpacking and am quite overweight and always have been. Are you and your gf really gonna do it…
  • That is an AMAZING idea! I’ve thought about riding cross country before, it would be so utterly amazing! I think that could be an amazing start to the journey of freeing yourself. Hell if I was in alot better shape I’d ask to join you! :) I would de…
  • TreeOfLife – I know exactly how you feel about going to another country, I’ve been of the same mind about leaving the US for years. I’ve done ALOT of research into this over the past few years and been through having serious relationships with someo…
  • I can’t get raw ones though (illegal in the US). :( Are the roasted ones just as good? and can you get them in a decent sized bag? The ones I’ve seen are like $8 for an 8 oz bag…I’d go thru that in like 3 days. I can’t even afford the big $15 canist…
  • There’s one here in Atlanta called Sevananda Natural Foods. At least they’re organic as far as I know…99% of everything they stock is organic. They will only carry conventional if they absolutely cannot find an organic supplier for something that’s …
  • Yikes! They’re only about $2-3/each organic at my co-op. Even that’s too expensive for me. I wish I could get them cheaper somewhere…even non-organic..they’re just SOOOO GOOD! The water that comes out of them tastes so unbelievably amazing, I refuse…
  • Where/how can you get raw hemp seeds? I wonder if I can get them here and it be ok… I live in the US and they are illegal here…you can get hemp seeds, but all of them are roasted so they can’t be grown, as ANY plant of the cannibus genus is illegal …
  • WW…look up Zoe’s Spring Onion Cheese in the recipes here…it’s delicious! And quite versatile as to what you can flavor it with.
  • simplyraw- thank you! I’m working on getting an appointment ASAP. This will be my first time telling a doc I’m eating at least mostly raw vegan, I’m curious as to how it will go. I’m going to a regular doc b/c there’s a subsidized hospital here that…
  • I’ve just read that old thread. I’d like to try this because I’ve been told I have a slightly fatty liver and slightly enlarged spleen. I have no gallbladder though, it was surgically removed last April do to severe gallstones and inflammation. Does…
  • As a side note, I have a big problem with employers checking credit. My financial history has NOTHING to do with how well I can do a job. I see absolutely no reason why a credit score should affect a candidate’s potential chances at a job. I have cr…
  • schmoopee thank you! There’s one based out of a place right down the street from where I work! Squee!
  • CSAs – could someone tell me about them, how they work, exactly what they are, and how you get in on one?
  • Oh, on the organic note, as Winona mentioned…you may want to look around to find out if there are food co-ops in your area. The price of organic produce at mine is comparable to conventional produce at the big box supermarkets.
  • I would look into learning about foraging, and local pick your own farms. www.pickyourown.org has a national database of farms all over the US and some in Canada that let you come and pick you own stuff and pay the farmer directly. So it’s local, yo…
  • That’s wonderful to hear Dodo! Best of luck with the 2 little operations and much healing, positive energy to you!
