• I hear dehydration is a common problem among people who are depressed. From my own experiences, plenty of water, adequate rest, and a walk outdoors every day can do wonders to help.

• Good luck with the enema. In the meantime, I’ve found that when I feel tired it is because I’m getting too much sugar/stimulants in my diet. It’s when I cut out the dates, bananas and chocolate and eat many more greens (with enough fruit to make it …

• WOW! You’ve all been so helpful! I’ve gotten some new ideas to ponder, and I may even look at a sproutmaster kit or construct something myself to make my sprouting efforts a bit easier. I love sprouts and they’re what live food is all about, right? …

• Thanks, Ladies! I’m looking forward to learning and sharing with you. :) Lucky for me, my kids are small. I figure if I just stay diligent about setting a good example, it will rub off and make an impression on them. I’ve recently been praising the …

• Being a person who went raw while breastfeeding (and grew a above average, well-nourished baby because of it) I see absolutely no problem with eating raw for yourself and your baby. To not eat raw is stupid advice, really. Deny your baby the best in…

• It’s so hard to be 100% raw in the winter here in Canada! I find I need some warm food (especially hot tea) every now and then. Tea with toast (slathered in coconut oil) is my weakness at the moment.

• Hi everyone! I’ve been vegetarian for 15 years, and I’ve been raw on and off for about 5 years. Sometimes more raw, sometimes less…it’s hard for me to be 100% raw because my family is so not raw. Tinkerbelly, No you’re not…I’m in Toronto too. :) Da…
