• Yes. My opinion is that colonics aren't very good at eliminating parasites--the parasites could be clinging to your intestinal walls, and there may be some in the small intestine as well as the colon. I would recommend that everyone, raw foodists in…

• How about making some raw cracker, chip, and/or cookie recipes? That way you can satisfy your cravings (which really do sometimes drive you to eat a nutrient you need), and still stay raw. I recommend reading this for an insight on how to work with …

• I know the original post is really old, but in case anyone else is interested: The coconut oil detox is basically a type of fast where you eat 10-14 tablespoons of coconut oil a day and drink a mixture of water, lemon or lime juice and salt for 3-10…

• I sometimes miss pad thai, coffee, and popcorn, though I wouldn't have rated these among my favorites when I still ate them. But really, I don't miss them very much. For a great hummus that really, truly tastes like hummus (unlike those "zucchini hu…

• I've met a few bad dates; though I open them first to take out the pit and have a look. I once found bugs in a date. And a frighteningly spiky (dead) worm-like thing sticking out of a dried fig [shudder]. I suspect the black stuff in dates is mold, …

• For the record "raw cane sugar" generally refers to minimally processed, unbleached cane sugar that is not "raw" as we use the word around goneraw, but is indeed heated during processing. You might see "raw" used in this way to label other items as …

• Look in a brewing supply store for straining bags; they're a fraction of the price of "nut milk bags" and seem to be identical. I don't trust paint straining ones, as there's no assurance that they're safe for food.

• I second Nancy's suggestion to read the other thread, particularly post #7 (which quotes another source). Note especially that the idea that agave has more fructose than HFCS came from an early version of agave nectar that was made very differently …

• It looks to me like you could use some more protein (I know, the 811ers will argue). Some milk made from soaked nuts or seeds would be easy to digest and give you extra fats and protein. Otherwise, it is normal to lose weight when starting on raw, a…

• I have a different take on this--consider looking at what traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has to say about warming and cooling foods. Starch is warming, and fruit and greens are (generally) cooling. You may need more balance in your raw diet. I t…

• I recently got a saline nose spray, and I find that when it drips down the back of my throat, it feels really parched and dry. Maybe the nasal spray you're using is exacerbating the problem? Natural food stores often have a selection of nasal sprays…

• 5'1" isn't so bad . . . that's how tall I am ;) Bananas and dates are probably the most sugary fruits, and you might want to consider cutting those out if you're going for an anti-candida diet--though some say bananas are good for skin. Try avoiding…
