  • hey my email is jazzngym21@aol.com what kind of gift?
  • hi zinfandel, it's nice to know i'm not alone with this!! i've even considered hypnosis because i just don't know what to do. i didn't know there was a money back refund. i'm hoping after i start using the full scoop of powder tomorrow morning that …
  • that's a good point about the maple syrup. i know it has a high caloric content, but i never thought about the fat toxins. does anyone have juicer recommendations? i really want to buy one and want a reliable one. i've had too many crappy appliances…
  • valeria, thanks for the link. i just looked at it and i'm going to do the spit test tomorrow morning. i also have a lot of the symptoms like constipation, indigestion, acid, and itching, so i wouldn't be surprised if it was because of yeast.
  • i get acne on my back a lot. i think it might be from sweating a lot during exercising, but i'm not sure. i had no idea it could be a yeast infection. how am i supposed to be able to tell??? the acne mapping is really interesting. i have a zit on my…
  • my favorite cracker is on this site. it's the carrot crackers so just do a search for those . you MUST try them. the flavors were incredible and the house smelled so good. i ate them with sundried tomatoes and olives.
  • a 36 hour drive is VERY long, so make sure your car can handle it. i think as long as he chips in for gas, then you guys should just go. and i honestly don't think you have a spoiled attitude about this. i wouldn't want to put that many miles on my …

  • i am so happy i found this forum topic!!! i can't find coconuts in the grocery stores near me. i guess they aren't too popular in pittsburgh. i've been dying to make raw ice cream with them. thanks for the links.
  • i use a prescription face wash because my skin used to be terrible. i had breakouts all the time. i realize that it's definitely NOT chemical free, but i just don't know how to give it up or what to replace it with. i just don't want to end up with …
  • marta, i'm glad you talked about your story!! it kind of reminds me of myself and my eating problems. i used every excuse in the book to restrict myself from certain foods- it's even the reason i became a vegan, but it's not the reason i am one toda…
  • this is a fun question 1. bananas (seems like everyone here is a banana lover!!) 2. medjool dates (hands down- i shouldn't even keep them in the house) 3. homemade juice, grapes, flax seed meal, tahini, and spinach
  • this is interesting. i've seen raw cheese at whole foods before but haven't tried it because pastuerized cheese upsets my stomach a lot. do you think the pastuerization process affects how the cheese digests in my system? maybe i should just buy som…
  • uknicole, i thought your comments were very interesting and true. i suffered from an eating disorder and the only reason i did was because i wanted to control my food in a world where i had no control. i realized that controlling my food only made m…
  • i think you just stop commenting. at least that's what i would do. maybe go to "edit" when you look at your profile and don't accept the "terms and conditions."
  • I also cured my IBS and proctitis on a raw diet. It's the only thing that has ever helped! After 19 years of being constipated all the time, it feels so good to be medicine/laxative free.
  • scooterjinx, you might want to take out the oats. even if you think they are helping, you would be going more often if they were. i used to eat buckwheat groats but when i took them oat (as well as all grains), i was able to go a lot more. the addit…
  • as soon as i saw this post, i knew i had to put my 2 cents in. a few days ago, i was trimming my mustache haha i don't have a lot of hair, but it's black and i can notice it- nobody has mentioned it to me though. of course, i wasn't paying attention…
  • hi guys. i live in pittsburgh and i am the only raw foodist i know. it's quite sad. when i tell people about it, they look at me like i'm an alien!!!!
  • 20 in september. i feel old, but i don't feel like an adult.
  • babybanana!!! that is so funny. it seems like we both look younger than we are. this past summer, i couldn't get into see a pg 13 movie (i forgot my driver's license) and i was 18!
  • I'm 19, but I've been told I'm much wiser for my years.
  • DeborahB, I found it difficult to date somebody who didn't care about his health. My ex bf would always criticize me about eating raw and how it had no health benefits. Glad you're happy and surrounded by raw!!
  • i'm looking at the vitamix online and wanted to know if you can grind nuts in the vitamix 5200 without it making nut butter. i don't make a lot of nut butter but like making crackers, breads, and dips with ground nuts. would i have to buy the one wi…
  • oceangirl2, i live in pittsburgh, too!!! bethel park to be exact. how come hawaii?? other than the obvious gorgeous weather!
  • hey autumn, i didn't get mine for a year when i had an eating disorder, but within 2 weeks of adding avocados and nut butters to my diet again, i got it. i'm suffering from the same problem right now, too, and i've been adding more fat so i can get …

  • iliveyourdream, i'm better today but i basically lived off of green smoothies. i can't starve myself while i'm sick because that just makes me sicker. i was craving greens like crazy so i probably had at least 2 blenderfulls of smoothie a day. have …
  • this is an old thread, but i find myself at 5 in the morning with a TERRIBLE head cold and sore throat, too. i called off work for today because i was supposed to go in at 4 pm (same shift tomorrow, too- oh no haha). anyway, i slept for maybe 3 hour…
  • welcome writer girl!! i'm on a juice fast right now, but have been taking the master cleanse with me during the day when i'm at work. i'm definitely cleaned out and i feel so much better!!! how long is your cleanse and what do you think of it??? i'm…
