• I have Marmoleum in my kitchen and love it. It’s more or less the same as linoleum, but usually prettier (and yes, linoleum gets it name from flax!).

• Here’s what I do: Don’t strain it. But if you’re really picky about texture, places with homebrewing supplies will have a mesh bag that’s identical to a “nut milk” bag at a fraction of the price. I don’t trust paint strain bags to be safe for food.

• Lots of people say the legs collect toxins, so it wouldn’t be surprising if it is in fact a symptom of detox. However, especially if you wear long socks or tights, it would pay to consider your detergent as well. I also get itches on my right calf f…

• They will get crunchy if they’re thin enough and you leave them for long enough. Most food processors can’t get them thin enough, and it’s unlikely you can get them thin enough by hand. If they are really thin, then 11 hours should be more than enou…

• DivineMissEm, that sounds just like what would happen to me if I had gluten—which is present in rye. Gluten intolerance is more common than many think. Best of luck!

• If you can’t have soy, then salt and water is usually an OK substitute. I was allergic to soy for a few years and found most recipes were fine without the sauce. For a more savory flavor, use the liquid from marinating mushrooms—you can even just ma…

• I’ve been using glass jars for transporting drinks for years. I’ve only had a couple of incidents of breakage—just be careful, and/or use some protective covering—reusing old socks is great, and helps keep your juice cold or tea warm. If you use mas…

• I believe the real difference between the VitaMix 5000 and the VitaPrep (which I have) is the warranty. The 5000 has a 7-year warranty, and the Prep has a 3-year warranty, as it’s intended for commercial use. After about 4 years my VitaPrep motor is…

• First of all, plenty of water will do wonders for the skin. Try 3 quarts a day if 2 quarts isn’t doing it. And salt really helps water penetrate all cells, so don’t be afraid of salt. Anyone looking for a good facial cleanser must look up the oil c…

• It can help lots if you start juice fasting before menstruating, but I agree it would be tough to start at the same time. Oh, and I think that keeping it mostly vegetable juice would help too; there are many schools of thought on too much sugar incr…

• The tea is a personal call . . . I generally consider tea as medicinal, so I don't worry about the heat, but I still try not to use water that's *too* hot. Drinking hot or warm water can work as well. Ginger tea is especially warming. As far as warm…

• In case anyone is still reading, what looks like the text of the plan is here: http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/acrobat/lettsup.pdf I haven’t read the whole thing, but it looks like it’s about keeping clean and avoiding contamination on the fields.

• I like almond butter, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, salt, agave, cayenne, and enough water to blend for a dip. But just about any sauce you want is good with “sushi” rolls. You could also find soy-free miso (there are a few out there) and blend with …

• I’ve tried all the crystals, and all the natural deos, and coconut oil, and baking soda is by far the best thing I’ve ever used. I just sprinkle some (~1tsp) in my hand, then a few drops of water so it’s kind of watery, divide between two hands, and…

• Even if nut butters are heated warmer than what we'd consider "raw" during the grinding process, they still are not heated to a temperature that's anywhere near as high as the roasting temperature for nuts. This makes a big difference in terms of fl…

• All American almonds are supposed to be pasteurized (or treated with gas) before being sold or used in food products, so most almond butter won't be raw. In addition, the heat while grinding can go above the "raw" temperature. Specialty companies li…
