• queenfluff I am suggesting that as raw foodists that it is irresponsible to blame every medical condition on detoxing. When you experience certain medical conditions for such a long period of time and shrug them off as “detoxing” you are doing yours…

• This is not about detoxing but rather thyroid imbalance. While there is no quick fix, medical attention maybe necessary and I don’t think we should be too quick to dismiss medical intervention just because it is not “raw.” The whole point at least f…

• RawSarah, What kind of natural supplement do you take? Do you also take other meds?

  in Maybe Hypothyroidism? Comment by Nuttgirl
• At this point I really think it is more than just detoxing as this has been going on for over a year. I will look into a cleanse though. I do want to keep all my options open. I just don’t want this to turn into a medical nightmare especially if thi…

• I was thinking about giving a brown seaweed extract a try. Supposedly it is very helpful for thyroid issues. Has anyone tried this extract before? I’m wondering how it compares to regular seaweed or other sea veggies?

• I’ve been thinking about doing this since I am still having hair loss issues. I am currently using shampoo only twice a week and the days I don’t use shampoo I use a conditioner since my hair is so dry. For those of you who use apple cider vinegar d…

• I love to use Sugarelle body scrubs. They really leave my skin feeling smooth and the best part is that they don’t leave a mess on my bathtub floor. Ugh.. I just hate body scrubs that have coffee grinds and such. What’s the point of scrubbing yourse…

• Don’t beat yourself up over it. It doesn’t accomplish anything. I’ve learned that when I fall off the wagon, and boy there have been many times, I just slowly incorporate more raw foods into my diet. Last month I ate a lot of cooked vegetarian foods…

• I just feel so lost right now. This has been an ongoing problem since last year. It got better for awhile but now its worse. Last year I went to the doc and had some blood work done and my iron levels were fine and my thyroid was fine. I started mix…

• I thought I would bump up this topic to see how everyone is doing with their hair loss. I for one am still having problems. I am currently eating 2 to 3 tablespoons of hemp seed and am taking 1 tablespoon of Vitamineral Green daily. I also bought Jo…

• I can completely sympathize! I love sweets especially anything chocolate although lately I have been craving Saltines. I know strange. I find if I increase my consumption of sweet fruits like pineapple and grapes I do not crave all the sugary sweets…

• Spinach, romanine, and bok choy are my favs right now.

• I really like hemp seed as a source for protein. I find it very easy to digest and it is easy on the taste buds too.

• Dreambrother, How much did your blood test cost and did you to a regular doctor or a nutritionist for that test? I would love to have something like that done but I am not sure where to go or if I could even afford it.

• It’s been mentioned on here that the Raw Power protein shakes are supposed to be pretty good. That might be another option for you.

• I don’t have the money right now to spend on a dehydrator so I am definitely looking for other alternatives. I’m hoping with all the creative minds on this board some one will chime in with some suggestions. :)

  in Dehydrating with a toaster oven? Comment by Nuttgirl
• I don’t have a dehydrator either. I would love to get some tips from other members on how to dehydrate food, especially greens, without having to buy one.

• I’m not really craving anything. I have tried different greens like spinach and romaine thinking that those choices would be pretty mild. After 1 or 2 bites I stop eating. I just can’t handle it. I will have to look into raw kombochu drinks. I never…

• It sucks! I haven’t been to my hair stylist in months because I am afraid that it might be too much stress for my hair and scalp. I started taking 1 to 2 tablespoons of hemp seed a day. I’m hoping that will have some sort of effect. It is too early …

• For the last few weeks my hair did not fall out as much. I would even say I was losing the “normal” amount of hair. I don’t know if I can attribute that change to eating more calories or if I was eating a missed nutrient. In any event I was pretty e…

• Just out of curiosity, how much hemp seed does one have to eat in order to promote hair growth?

  in hemp seeds vs. flax seeds Comment by Nuttgirl
• I think it depends on the type of cooked food. I personally can eat cooked veggies without any problems but if I eat processed foods like potato chips I feel sick.

• I don’t own a dehydrator. I tend to go for more simple recipes that are not nut heavy. It is easier on my stomach and it is less time consuming. Every once in awhile I will buy raw pre-made flax seed crackers but that is about it.

• Breakfast: a banana Lunch: a green smoothie Snack: a pear and a handful of raisins Dinner: Not sure yet. Probably some more green smoothie and something else.

• Socal, I did research Dr. Graham’s diet before I went raw and like I said I read more negative things about it than good. I find it to be incredibly restrictive and not balanced for long term use. I’m in this for the long haul so to speak. I don’t k…

• I’ve looked into Graham’s 80/10/10 diet but read more negative things than positive about it. He advocates mostly a fruitarian diet with little emphasis on greens. I think his diet is ok for short term use especially if one is very obese. However, f…
