• My husband, on the other hand, thinks that any dessert made with lots of fat is the best thing before bed. It helps him sleep more soundly and for longer. At 47, he still has the metabolism of a hummingbird! He’s over 6 feet tall and 175 pounds and …

• One great alternative as a snack, and one with terrific health benefits, is coconut water kefir. Supposedly, the beneficial bacteria grow better in your gut while you sleep, giving you the most friendlies per gulp when taken at bedtime. Also, you be…

• I do the ice dream as well, but also add cacao powder to it. Nut pates, shake w/ water for nut mylk, mix w/ agave, sunflower seeds, pepitas, and dried fruit for a quickie delight. Or make the almond cherry cookie dough on this site (almond butter, d…

• I agree with loorin – GSE is awful stuff but it will work if you can stick with it. If I had Candida overgrowth now, I would definitely use Miracle Mineral Supplement (MMS). It will kill all of your nasties in short order and it isn’t very expensive…

• Love the recipes! I’ve also learned a lot from the forum, plus I feel like I have a community in every sense of the word. When I go to a potluck and hear people who only read raw recipe books and how they struggle and feel isolated, I’m especially g…

• I don’t know about Cuisinarts, but I researched FPs two years ago and bought a big KitchenAid. I’ve been thrilled! No problems or issues to date, and I use it at least several times/week. My advice is to buy the biggest one you can afford. Mine came…

• My family LOVES curried cashews so I soak, rinse, shake in a bag w/ curry powder and then dry them. It takes a long time to get them dry, but its worth the time.

• I eat sprouted dehydrated Buckwheat nearly every day with no ill effects. According to Gabriel Cousens, the soak time is 20 minutes. That’s right – 20 minutes. Then sprout for a day, give or take. I find that the “give or take” depends totally on th…

• We collect rain water in a rain barrel. Then we draw it off daily, schlep it in the house and pour it into the top of the Berkey. You normally can’t drink from a rain barrel, but the Berkey can be used like a backpacking water filter and removes pat…

  in Water: best water question Comment by jenoz
• I researched water quite extensively a while ago. RO and distilled both require a lot of energy to make, and RO produces a lot of waste water. I ended up going with a Berkey filter. It produces amazingly clean water using a system very like what the…

• I read and studied quite a bit on water solutions. I too had trouble finding enough info on Prill beads, but they didn’t sound like the “real deal” to me. I bought a Berkey filter and have been quite happy with it. It’s a wonderful way to clean wate…

• For those who do not prefer the term Pagan (which just sort of mean “country people” if you research it), you could say earth religious or earth spiritual, or sub nature for earth in either of those. I am a Unitarian Universalist Pagan myself. I nev…

• Hail hail! I LOVE CHIA! My entire family will eat it with gusto. We add it to smoothies and make puddings, with whole or ground. Our 2 favorite puddings are strawberry lemonaid and the indian rice pudding from this site. But I also dig Chia and coco…

• In that case, you might want to try some form of energy psychology. EFT (www.emofree.com) and TAT (www.tatlife.com) are free to learn and relatively easy to learn to practice at home. Blessed be and may all your relations – and you – be well again s…

• I’ve had the same symptoms for years. Mine is called sebhorreic dermatitis (sp?), which is essentially psoriasis on the scalp. My (Quantum Techniques) energy healer diagnosed mine as being purely emotional. As my frustration levels rise, my scalp ge…

• I’m in line with the high end, too. We go $1000 to $1200 per month for a family of 3. I buy a fair amount of “exotics”, plus it takes a few years, IMHO, to fully stock a raw gourmet kitchen properly. At first I bought all of the nuts and seeds. Then…

• Where to begin? We eat it with dried fruit and cacao nibs as a dessert. We put it in smoothies, and we add it to anything that seems a little dry. The fat is great for your brain! Coconut oil with some coconut solids is called Coconut Cream and/or C…

• As far as I’ve ever been able to determine, LaraBars are really raw except for the almonds. And MAYBE the cacao, and MAYBE the seasonings, and MAYBE the coconut, and MAYBE the cashews, etc. Also, they are not organic. That said, I think they’re AWES…

  in Lara Bars! Comment by jenoz
• Nuts and seeds are higher in protein and fat than most veges and fruits. Some people believe that higher carbohydrate, low protein and low fat, such as 80-10-10 and similar ratios, are the correct and natural way to eat. I personally need the higher…

• While a much cleaner diet has helped me with a lot of health problems, a much lighter load of emotional baggage has been at least as important in my lighter way of being in the world. Energy Psychology techniques, such as EFT, TAT and Quantum Techni…

• We all have to start from where we are. If you have kids that are very small that you’re feeding raw, you are LUCKY. I started raw when my daughter was 12 so I sort of missed the window. At 2, she was force-fed by her father until she vomited, so we…

• Cutting wheat and dairy fixed me up, as did getting Candida under control. Now things that gave me problems, like FIBER, aren’t a problem. I do a quart of green smoothie every day! I have no problems with nuts and seeds, soaked or not. Raw onions an…

  in IBS anyone??? Comment by jenoz
• Holding water is your body’s response to trying to dilute toxins. I would guess that, although you admit that most of your food is fairly toxic, you are “allergic” to something that you’re eating. By allergic, I don’t mean only throat swelling or ra…

• I second the green smoothie idea. Buckwheaties also work well – make it “cereal” with nut milk, nuts, shredded coconut, cinnamon, dried fruit. If you have Buckwheaties on hand, it takes about 120 seconds to get this together. Nut butter with fruit, …

• Everyone’s metabolism is different, but if I ate what you eat in the A.M., I’d be REALLY crashed by afternoon. I have to eat heavy things/protein foods (buckwheat, chia, nuts, cnut, avos) in the morning in sufficient quantity. I LOVE green smoothies…
