  in More "digestable" food...ha! Comment by Raw_Chocoholic
• MontrealMommy, the cleanse is in the “Lifefood Recipe Book” by David and Annie Jubb. It’s done over 14 days. It involves doing some enemas and gallbladder/liver flushes which will help you metabolize fat better.

• I lost 10 pounds when doing Jubb’s cleanse and haven’t gained them back. I only lost about 5 the time I did the MC. I did gain those pounds back, but I wasn’t raw at the time. I don’t think you can really eat too many fruits and vegetables when you’…

• It’s made from the bark of a tree. I think from South America. You should be able to find it easily in health food stores.

  in Candida Cleansing? Comment by Raw_Chocoholic
• If you’re eating lots of bananas you might be putting off your sodium/potassium balance. Perhaps that’s causing the water retention. Google “candida spit test” first and take that to see if you really do have candida. Pau D’arco tea is excellent tho…

• It’s not fair. I seem to be allergic to kiwi. It makes my throat feel raw and my tongue tingle. Could it be that it has to be very ripe before you can eat it, like a persimmon?

• Stay away from the Magic Bullet! I haven’t heard a good thing about it. Tribest is probably the best one to go for, though I haven’t heard of the Bella Cucina, or the Rocket. My Miracle Chopper 2000 lasted about a year as my only blender.

• I tried making a gorilla sandwich once. Didn’t turn out so well . . . I love the idea though.

  in Whole Foods stores Comment by Raw_Chocoholic
• Maybe we should all write to their head office and suggest they carry more pre-made raw meals? It’d certainly help spread the word about raw. I find their produce prices okay, but they have the best section of natural-ish cosmetics I’ve found so far…

• Speaking about how wonderful life is should be encouraged if anything. Great to hear you’re doing so well on raw! Your dog is very cute too. He looks very wolfy.

  in The best day ever! Comment by Raw_Chocoholic
• I’ve tried to use the grinder also. It doesn’t work well at all for the nibs. Maybe try putting them into ice creams or make a trail mix of goji, pumpkin seeds, and the nibs. I tried that once and it was quite tasty.

  in Better than any chocolate bar out there! Comment by Raw_Chocoholic
• Okay, I’m trying this tonight! To really get it solid like a regular chocolate bar you probably have to use cacao butter as a base. rawclaire, I love the combo of maple and chocolate! Where do you get maple crystals from? Are they raw?

• My smoothies have been smoother since I followed Bluedolphin’s idea of slowly adding the water and letting it blend for longer. I’ll try the soaking idea though. I have the oster beehive and for the most part I’m very happy with it.

• Check for any purple at the bottom. If there’s purple it’s probably got mold on the inside also.

• Olives and figs are very high in calcium. Other sources are: papaya, dulse, kelp, dandelion, lambs quarters, broccoli, avocado. For wild foods pigweed/lambs quarters is one of the best sources of calcium. Also, magnesium and silicon form calcium in …

• Queenfluff, I couldn’t agree more. Personally, I don’t see why you need to be enrolled in a university to read a textbook. One of my favourite quotes is by Mark Twain when he said “I’ve never let school interfere with my education”. None of the stuf…

• I’ll try the Irish moss idea once I find out where to buy it. The milk just looks so unappetizing after it’s sat for about a day, and even starts to settle if I don’t drink it quick enough. I think I remember David Wolfe talking about Irish moss. Is…

• I think there’s enough of us to form a club of broke, college, aspiring raw-foodists. All I own is an average blender and a spirilizer (which I haven’t even used much yet). I’d start by incorporating green smoothies into your diet. Try reading Green…

  in Want to try going completely raw... Comment by Raw_Chocoholic
• orgfoodaddict, that’s a very interesting story. I think there should be much more research into the connection between disease and emotional states, feelings, or life traumas. In fact, this would probably be a great subject/thread on it’s own.

  in MSM & Seizures? Comment by Raw_Chocoholic
• livefooddoctor, I actually didn’t intend for this to come across as a means to dissuade people from using MSM, but rather a resource for those who may be experiencing a reaction. Thank you for clarifying this though. I’ve seen David’s videos on MSM.…
