• I can see the possibility of a dog becoming a vegan because in nature they are scavengers. While a vegan diet is perferrable to most of the dog food brands out there, I would not choose it over an omivorious diet. Cats, on the other hand, are not sc…

• http://www.mercola.com/article/microwave/hazard… I assume that irradation has simular consequences. It’s sad to think that the FDA really could go ahead and pass that bill with little opposition. However, they have only what power we give them and …

• I’ve just started taking burdock root extract and it’s really helping clear up the rest of my acne. It’s high in iron, zinc, and silica. David Wolfe has a recipe for it juiced with cucumber, apple and I think celery. If you want the recipe I can pos…

• I have the same problem and have found green smoothies and sprouted breads to help the most. I started off jumping right in and going 100% raw. That lasted about 5 days because I was so hungry, despite the amount of nuts I was eating. I really didn’…

  in Sesame Milk Comment by Raw_Chocoholic
• I decided to go out and buy an artsy looking recipe binder with cards that match, and a calligraphy-tipped pen. Does that make me a good candidate for Team Anal, or maybe Team Loopy? mygreenmojo, I like your sections, yet I think I’m going to put sa…

• Chlorine will actually escape into the air within 24hrs – quicker if you boil the water. Fluoride is a different question though. I checked out the Brita website and it removes lead, copper, and mercury, but they actually say that they don’t remove …

• Try juicing 3 grapefruits, 2 oranges, and 1 lemon together. I find it makes a nice combo.

• I kinda got behind on the almond thing. Have they actually passed that law now? Is it only in the US, or in Canada also? I signed a petition, but hadn’t kept up to date on the subject.

• I bought the Manitoba Harvest brand at a health food show. It has a very distinct flavor, but I quite like it. They said they couldn’t technically label it raw, but that it went through minimal heat processing. Of course, you could also make your ow…

• stylistchick, have you tried eating more sprouts for greens? The sunny raw kitchen has a recipe for kale patties also. What about zucchini pasta and some cilantro pesto? Have you tried a green smoothie with cucumber and maybe just a leaf or two of k…

  in GRATITUDE Comment by Raw_Chocoholic
• I’m able to use it for my green smoothies, and I usually do about 70:30 greens to fruits, and I don’t get any lumps if I blend it for about 1 min. I couldn’t really blend up some thick dough for crackers/breads, but then I usually just blend the wet…

• For sprouting you can check out: http://sprouting.org/ http://www.sproutpeople.com/ http://www.living-foods.com/articles/sprouting…. As for blenders, I bought the Oster behive and I’m quite happy with it. It’s not a vitamix but it makes green smo…

• I solved that problem by going to: http://www.tru.ca/ (click on “distance and open learning”). It really is a great university. You never have to worry about a class being full, and you can do 3 semesters a year instead of 2 if you want to finish qu…

  in Guess what my doctor did today! Comment by Raw_Chocoholic
• Your body will do everything possible to keep the blood’s PH within a very narrow range. With a SAD diet this means taking calcium from your bones to buffer the acidity. With the raw diet you will be eating much more alkaline and will not be putting…

• Hmmmm . . . well, if it’s a recipe you plan on making often I’d probably say to try it both ways, and see if there’s a difference. Which recipe is it you’re using anyways?

  in Using Vegetable Pulp Comment by Raw_Chocoholic
• I don’t have a juicer so for recipes asking for veggie pulp I simply blend the veggies and strain out the water. That’s probably easier to clean than most juicers anyways. Leaving the excess water in would probably just make the recipe take longer t…

• Try using the same spices as in the pumpkin pudding recipe. I tried it and it tasted great. You might not have used the right porportions of spices.

• This is something I’ve become concerned about as well. I think the best thing to do is find out from the supplier if their coconuts are irridated or dipped in formaldyehide. I just buy mine wrapped in saran wrap, so I don’t even know where they’re c…

• I would say to make a benonite shake while taking probiotics. You can also drink those while on the master cleanse. That’s technically called “the ultimate cleanse” and there’s an ebook out there about it. You should also try reading Gabriel Cousens…
