• I make it a point to eat at least 7 raw almonds a day. I love all nuts but almonds have an alkalizing effect on the body which make them a major anti-cancer food. Other than these, I try to keep them at a minimum although it’s sometimes impossible w…

• You might want to visit a homeopathic doctor. I’m not positive but I think that Aesculus or Aesculus compound is supposed to help with both vericose veins and hemmrhoids (sp?). Good luck.

• I make my own Almond Butter in my vitamix. The health food store is about $11.00 for a small jar (I live in the middle of nowhere) but I buy my Almonds in bulk online. Just throw them into the vitamix and use your tamper to keep pushing them back do…

• Hi- Glad that you are feeling better. While you are unable to eat greens, is there a food that you are craving? While we all know that greens are very important, every raw foodist I’ve read says that we must listen to our bodies. If yours is telling…

• Do you ever make veggie sushi? It’s kind of a pain in the *, but if you soak raw sushi rice for about 30 days, it takes the same fluffiness of cooked rice. You can then roll your own… Mine’s in the fridge soaking now…. :)

• Do you have a Saladacco? If so, you might look into it. If you’re not familiar, it allows you to make noodles (raw) out of your favorite vegetables. Then, in the vitamix, make a tomato sauce and enjoy. I was surprised to find that the tomato sauce r…

• Not sure about the raw throat but everyone goes through detox in a different way. I totally dried out when I went raw. My hands were completely cracked for a while even though my water intake was much higher than before. What do you eat at night?

• I love Goji berries but can understand your view. When I make a salad, I usually just use lemon, salt, and olive oil for the dressing. Before I start chopping veggies, I squeeze the juice out of the lemon and let the Goji berries soak while I prep t…

• Thanks for the response. Right now, with the exception of tea, I’m pretty much 100% raw. I stick to the herbal teas that are caffeine free. Giving up coffee was my last hurdle and the withdrawal was awful. I don’t want to risk having to experience t…

• For my first two months of being raw, I could not eat enough raw almonds. I’m not sure why, but eating about four or five of them would kill my cravings for something unhealthy. I cannot imagine how many raw almonds I ate those months… many many pou…

• In the article I referenced in my last post, it discusses how dogs cannot produce Amylase (which humans produce in their saliva). Without amylase, the starch in fruits and vegetables cannot be broken down. It passes through their system undigested. …

• I’m not sure about cellulose. I think that it is a fiber that cannot be broken down and serves to regulate and clean the digestive track. That’s what I’ve gathered from the forums but am not positive about human digestion. If you find out elsewhere,…

• Hi everyone- This is a very heated and serious conversation. I’m glad to know that everyone is as concerned about their animal’s health as they are their own. I work for a homeopathic vet and know a it about this subject. If there is one thing that …

• I think that it is important to remember that many things that we eat every day have toxic components. Even almonds, a nut that almost all raw foodist LOVE, has a toxic component. Just as do apricots, apples, some sprouts, greens, etc… the list can …

• I agree that this can be so frustrating! Sometimes it seems like it’s impossible to truly raw and organic foods. I want to recommend to everyone to buy the book “The Bountiful Container.” This is a gardening book that shows how to grow everything in…

• There’s a book called “The Bountiful Container” which is dedicated to growing food in containers only. It’s an amazing resource.
