• The website does look like it has a lot of interesting info, I'd have to look much more into it before conceding to the toxic effects of so many herbs(ones grown organically, I know many in poor situations will be full of toxins). I do not disbeleiv…

• I wish you luck, I could never do it...especially the herbs! I use them more often in cooking(or uncooking) myself at home and often go for ones that DO have nutritional and medical benefits so the idea of them being toxic seems questionable to me.

• Already on top of the Vit C, but thanks :) Green tea is OK, but outside some flowering teas I don't have any in the house(not crazy on the taste). I did just make a pot of tea using nettles, ginger, 2 cloves, fresh lemon juice and popped a handful o…

• I keep hearing about this place, I think I'm going to have to check it out later this month when I have some time to get into NY City. I'm thinking Feb break sounds like a good time hop on a train and head down.

• I figured out after that the first one was no good, disappointing but at least I know my nose and gut instinct are working better than they used to. I had simply tapped it then had it sitting to drain. When I went back I realized it smelled 'off' bu…

• I can understand wanting to break up mucus in the respiratory tracts, but why digestive? Unless you have alot for some reason, in your GI the mucus is there to protect stomach and intestines from the digestive juices. I am curious I guess, I have ne…

• This one is hard to answer, there are so many different opinions but more importantly I think you need to tke into consideration each bodies needs and how they process food. Personally I do best on animal protein(even if just a little raw milk or ot…

• The movie Simply Raw was great, and not even just for diabetes but on better eating/health in general.

• Hi Matt, I'm more about being healthy and whole foods than 'MUST BE' raw so yes I use both but not often. I have a container of Ramesan that has nutritional yeast in it and I use it at times for salads or to top veggies, but in small amounts. It giv…

• Thanks, I was just figuring out what to look under. I don't just want bread type wraps, but specifically something thin you would use in place or Nori for sushi, and I also got many results but only a few what I was looking for.

• I wouldn't consider most(if any) of the raisins I get in conventional stores raw. I finally have a dehyrdrator and plan on making some of my own soon, to use in cereals or trail mix.

• Gluten is found in grains, not fruit. I don't have any specific websites, I tend to search all over and get info from many sites before gathering facts into anything conclusive, but have had issues with gluten intolerance and fruit/veggies are never…

• He's going to need something a little more than that to keep him warm I would think. How about some sort of bars with coconut oil or nuts as the base (easy to eat but supply some fat to keep warm and give energy)?

• I am not 100% raw, so while I might stick to more salads and maybe soup or a small appetixer when I go out(for my own taste) I do not give in to what everyone else is having and in fact even going out eat healthier than most of my friends. For socia…

• Simply Raw - nice :) I I liked that little post, made my giggle(lol, I'm vacation and relaxed so giggles do happen). I'm dogsitting until Thursday and needing something for my skin. Not much to choose from at my parents, but I DO have 1/2 avocado le…

  in Really Dry Skin Comment by blueyz
• Lol, that is my thoughts on the avocado...I only discovered this past summer I really do love them. I'm wondering if once I take most of it if I could just turn the skin inside out and use what is there to rub into skin instead.

• I have found that coconut oil works great for me. You can put it straight on, but I think it is more effective when I make a body scrub(just mix with brown sugar) and use it when showering. If I don't have than, even the sugar/salt scrubs they sell …

• I'm with sweetpea, I will peel it if I'm using it to eat or in dressings/salads but if it's just being used for tea I will leave it on. Juicing depends on the ginger, but if it's young fresh ginger I find that it's fine to leave it on.

  in Quinoa, Buckweat and beans Comment by blueyz
• For beans I still stick with them cooked, although made myself from organic dried beans and not canned. Not 100% so there are a few things I don't mind doing cooked, beans are a main one because they don't digest well raw. Quinoa you can sprout, and…
