  • Type II diabetes? I have read about the enzyme GnT-4a which is lacking or suppressed in a high fat diet being linked to causing diabetes. but I honestly don't understand why...maybe you can explain it to us too :) Here's a quote from an article: Res…

  • A mandoline might be better. You do need to switch the blades out. But it can make long noodles the length of the veggie, thin to thick slices, and you can also use it to julienne veggies. I love this one, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000684DV8…
  • If you've already started the antibiotics you should finish them, but I personally try to only take them after I feel like I actually have an infection, not as a precaution. When I've had to take antibiotics I double my probiotics. After the course …
  • You don't need to soak white nuts like cashews, macadamia, pinenuts, but it will make the consistency smoother when you blend them. Not sure about the digestion issue, seems like it would help...might be a food combining thing too. I always take dig…
  • if you're not 100% you can cheat in a few drops of toasted sesame oil for that roasted flavor--that's what I do.

  • delaluna, the nuts do change flavor a bit yes. More roasted...I find it varies from nut to nut. They certainly change texture, I love the the crunchiness of sprouted almonds--those are soaked and then left to germinate for a day or so (rinsing 3 tim…

  • it's great to have a dehydrator for transitioning when you're craving chips, burgers, crackers... It really helped me get thru the first few month. I lean towards craving savory, salty foods rather than sweet. If you lean towards sweet cravings, you…

  • I really like my breville compact juicer because its fast. I looked at the masticating juicers like the Omega and Green Star, but I need to be able to do it quicker if I'm going to juice every morning. But your question was about cleanup...also a hu…
  • Welcome treehousestories! There's a book called "the Raw Detox Diet" by Natalia Rose that you might be interested in. http://amzn.com/0060834374 There is a quiz in it that helps you to determine what level you are at now in your diet and then it giv…
  • joannabanana, nah--sadly I have a date problem ;) especially when combined with almond butter!! I try to limit them...but they all sound delicious.
  • joannabanana, I think its pretty easy to make raw versions of larabars if you wanted to. I've seen recipes on the site here. http://goneraw.com/node/1176 http://goneraw.com/node/7893 http://goneraw.com/node/9561
  • That's incredible Cami! I'm so happy its relieving your pain. Its amazing how abundant it all feels, you barely notice what's missing after a while. One thing that helped me was to make a list of all the problems and pains that I had before I went r…
  • OH! try wraps instead, might be easier on your digestion. There's a great sweet potato wrap, its one of the home page pics...you can make it with less flax and it'll be fine. you can also dehydrate thai coconut meat and some of its water and it make…
  • Sorry if this is obvious... There are 2 types of fiber: Soluble (flax, chia, oats, psyllium, cooked beans, banana, apple...) and insoluble (roughage, as in greens + veggies)--both are important. soluble is a slower exit fiber, requires more water be…
  • nuts and oils. You need Essential fatty acids. where are you getting the 18 grams of fat from now? Certainly not from what you listed. Smoothies help you fit more in too.

  • OH, here's the recipe for the spring rolls. http://goneraw.com/node/5276 and here's the peanut dipping sauce that I love ( i do add a couple of drops of toasted sesame oil too): http://goneraw.com/node/2846 Sorry I missed the part about you not want…
  • I love coconut pudding. blend it with a teeny bit of spring water till creamy, I add stevia or agave, 1 heaping tsp of raw cacao and a dash of cinnamon. you can eat right away or it'll get thicker in the fridge. Or, I love fresh spring rolls with a …
  • hemp and chia. They're also higher in Omega 3s than flax. This is the chia brand I get that says its gluten free... http://www.salba.com/ not sure about the hemp, I have a gluten sensitivity and it doesn't bother me.

  • that's interesting about the kombucha catbird. I believe that psoriasis and eczema are symptoms of candida so the probiotics in kombucha must be helping her.
  • Here's instructions: http://www.sproutpeople.com/seed/print/barley.html fyi,,,you can't sprout pearled barley because it's been steam processed. good luck!
  • I sometimes bring my morning green smoothie to work and I always get looks and comments. I'm always prepared for them and I always handle them with humor. Because you know what...it is kind of funny. And it is unusual for most everyone to see. Maybe…

  • I love zucchini hummus. my nonraw friends love it and are always shocked to find out it's not beans. I think the trick might be grinding your own sesame seeds into a thick paste, it does make the hummus thicker + richer than using bottled raw tahini…
  • I had the pleasure of visiting some earthships while living in New Mexico-very inspiring!. Here's a real estate broker in Taos that specializes in selling them. The listings have videos, really fun! http://www.taosearthships.com/
  • I think Dino kale might have more moisture in it then curly. When I juice I wrap dino kale tightly around something. usually I cut 1/2 a head of romaine top to bottom and then I wrap the kale around it to juice. It's tricky I know, I do think it's b…

  • Mom's and daughter's like to push buttons. From my experience, the best way to change the situation and your relationship with your mother is to change the way you react. Read between the lines. When your mom gives you a hard time about the way you …

  • Did you find these corn chips? http://goneraw.com/node/12769 They're from Raw Food/Real World. They're great.
  • Excaliber has an ebay store they sell "factory blemished" dehydrators. That's how I got mine and it works great and I have no idea how its blemished-it looks great as far as I can tell. Might cost a lot for shipping to the UK tho (?). Just saw a 4 t…
