• OMG, the bar method dvd is incredible! You can use a chair to replace the ballet bar. It's a mixture of yoga, ballet, pilates and strength training. I'm an avid cyclist and runner and this dvd kicked my buttocks :-).

• I think you'll find that coconut oil has a more neutral flavor than the coconut butter.

• I have been a smoothie girl for the past 2 yrs, but I had an issue. I have incredibly dry, scaly skin ( really bad ). I tried all kinds of essential fatty acids, green smoothies, 100% raw, no nuts, candida cleanses, liver cleanses, coconut oil, colo…

• Hmmm, I was told that you shouldn't refrigerate young coconuts. I heard that because they are a tropical fruit that prolonged refrigeration could start to spoil it -- like bananas. I'm not sure which one of us heard the correct info. I'd be interest…

• I eat a high raw diet, but I'm not 100% and this works best for me. Once I took the "pressure" off of myself I found myself eating less and less cooked comfort food. I love to think about all of the healthy things I ate or drank during the day and f…

• Fruit can really exacerbate Candida symptoms in some people, myself included. A low glycemic diet helps balance out the Candida. I have heard of some people healing themselves of Candida with the 811 diet and I have heard of others who developed an …

• There are scientific studies that show garlic is a potent natural antibiotic and antifungal agent. Perhaps onions and garlic are meant for a more medicinal, short term usage rather than a food.

• I have a friend who is a marathon runner and participates in triathlons. She is not a raw foodist, but incorporates green smoothies everyday. She found that this helps her with her strength, endurance and muscle recovery. This is a wonderful way to …

• I heard that Toms of Maine and Berts Bees sold out to larger companies. I've noticed ( at least with BB ) that the products are not as "natural" as they use to be. Is this the case with T.O.M and their toothpaste?

• I use the liquid tooth soap. I visit the dentist twice a year and never have any cavities :).

• I also meant to add that the rejuvilac is fermented and you usually let the cheese sit or drain in a cheesecloth for 24 hrs after adding it.

  in Cultured cheesecake recipe? Comment by spirit
• Rejuvilac really makes all raw cheese products taste just like the real thing. I was blown away with the authentic taste of raw ricotta cheese and lemon cheesecake squares at a class I once attended. I myself don't choose to spend the time to make r…

• If the hair your losing has a white tip on the end, ( root ) then it's not from hair products. The most common reason for hair loss ( female ) is a high glycemic diet ( raw or cooked ) and possibly some underlying candida issues. A low glycemic diet…

• I agree with ambiguous. Cleansing the colon is very important during fasts, keeps the detox symptoms low too.

  in Water Fast Comment by spirit
• I have read on Dr. Walker's material that a fasting on water past 5 days may not be positive for the body, particulary the brain. He suggests to add some lemon/ lime juice to your water and some vegetable juice to keep your tissues/organs/blood nuri…

• Kellyanne: I absolutely agree that diet balances the body. I was 100% raw, but was working in a constant stressful situation which seemed to pull me out of balance. Through diet, meditation, exercise and herbs I was able to work through it and becom…

• I definately agree that herbs are medicinal, but I believe they can assist to balance the body where as synthetic medications cannot. I use a female balancing raw herbal formula from www.herbsoflight.com and I love it. I also take a kelp capsule and…

• This may only be me, but I can only consume wheatgrass by itself, on an empty stomach. I become nauseous if I combine it with anything even other greens.

• I have learned that the all or nothing mentality does not work for me. I have definately "cheated" a few times on juice and green smoothie feasts in the past. What works for me is to consider it a " high juice" day and get right back on the horse so…

• I feel horrible on a high fruit diet, but wonderful on a high greens diet. I do incorporate the less sweet fruits ie; tomatoes, cucumbers, lemons and berries. My friend is the exact opposite. He thrives on a high sweet fruit diet. After spending 20 …

• I'm starting a green smoothie feast either tomorrow or Friday. I'm going to try to limit the fruit at first because of some candida issues. I really want to do a long term feast, or at least until my summer vacation trip :).
