• I have one, a Haier. It croaked after 4 or 5 loads and I’ve been waiting for the replacement motheroboard for a month and half or so now. It’s gotta be shipped from China…it’s still under warranty, though. How did it work? There were lots of suds wi…

• aylee, I wouldn’t worry too much about it. I don’t think there’s a problem. If that’s what you want to eat, eat it! As long as the nuts and fats are raw and the salt is sea salt, and the chocolate is from raw cacao nibs, you’ll be fine. Fats help re…

  in WHY FATS AND SODIUM! Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• Ayurvedic and blood type (and Atkins, and South Beach, and…) are just fads…raw foods is what every animal on the planet eats and what we ate for millions of years until very, very recently. Your body is going to have all kinds of cravings because it…

  in Depression, Anxiety, Bi-polar??! Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• How raw are you (percentage)? What are you eating besides nuts and avocado? I don’t think there is any reason to cut down on fats. They are necessary and it’s really, really hard to eat too much raw fat (if your body doesn’t need all of it it will b…

  in Depression, Anxiety, Bi-polar??! Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• And don’t beat yourself up if you “cheat” and eat raw “junk” food (I wouldn’t consider any truly raw food to be junk food anyway – maybe you’re being too hard on yourself, which is what I’ve been accused of many times). Take it easy on yourself. Go …

  in Staying RAW in the midst of chaos/change...help? Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• Oh, and Skinny Bitch was actually a great book with lots of facts backed up by references. In there they said (what I’ve said for years, but not published, dammit!): “Have you ever, ever, ever heard about anyone being protein deficient?” or somethin…

  in Protein question Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• I don’t have time to verify this right now, but I recall reading that plants are 23% protein. I’ve written about protein in other forums here as well as in articles on raw foods and veganism (but some of them aren’t online). If you click on my pictu…

• Pianissima – You said perfectly what I should have said.

  in What do you know about SALT? Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• I’m not disagreeing just to be disagreeable….really. So, I went to rawfoodexplained.com site and checked it out. Turns out the author, one TC Fry, wrote the article on salt. There were no references in it whatsoever. Additionally, Dr Fry was a Natur…

  in What do you know about SALT? Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• Right on. I don’t disagree that there’s sodium in some foods, but there are times we need more and I live in the desert and am pretty active, so I need extra salt. I also don’t think that a healthy person is hurting himself/herself by adding some hi…

  in What do you know about SALT? Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• Hi folks – Well, it took a little research, but with what I found, I have to disagree. First, I think there is some confusion about the term inorganic sodium. Inorganic means that there is no carbon in the molecule. That doesn’t have anything to do …

  in What do you know about SALT? Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• I found the link Why We Don’t Drink Salt Water and although I don’t agree with all of her logic, she makes some good points. I am going to investigate further. Basically, though, it looks like sea salt is NOT sodium chloride. It’s sodium, chloride, …

  in What do you know about SALT? Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• The peace sign and wallpaper should tell you that picture was taken in 1973! I’m going to investigate this. I know that animals in the wild will lick salt to satisfy a sodium depletion, and they are not subject to mis-cravings like we peeps are…

  in What do you know about SALT? Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• Kenny, my man, I would never, ever go to a doctor about anything that’s remotely potentially nutritionally-related. There are 126 medical schools in the U.S., and only 30+ or so even require a single course in nutrition. Surveys have shown doctors k…

  in Hell yea! Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• Hi streets – not sure if you’re addressing me or not, but I just wanted to reiterate that cooking is too recent in human evolution for our bodies to “know” cooked food. It’s alien to us, which is why our white blood cell count jumps when eating cook…

  in Cooked Food, Is It Really Harmful? Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• Hi Ras and everyone else – I agree with Spring about the cancer-related compounds found in some cooked foods, especially BBQed meats and stuff. I feel that the other benefit of raw foods, being of course the ONLY thing every animal on the planet eat…

  in Dinosaur Dance Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• How much is this gonna cost me to join? Will I have to give up my belief in Zeus and Zoroaster to join (both pre-date Christianity other current ridiculegious beliefs so they’re more right than the current ones, right?)?

  in Dinosaur Dance Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• I didn’t want to get baited into this thing, but before I jump back to join the non-superstitious over in the Dinosaur Dance thread, I’ll just mention that things like “here is something that shows dinosaurs existed with humans” or the occasional si…

  in Intelligent Christians using common sense... Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• I forgot to say that maybe you should chew your food more ;-} I leave almost everything out all the time: half avocado, cut fruits, my dadeh (DAshboard DEHydrated) grawnola. I think if the nola was dried enough before it sat, it would be fine. If th…

  in Food poisoning from gRAWnola? (TMI alert) Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• Branwyn – I hope you’re feeling better now. I think the Synergy is a good idea, and the coconut juice. I don’t know if it’s food poisoning either…queenfluff is right that it’s usually a 24-hour thing…as far as I know… ...but you’re going through an …

• I thought about a solar oven and read about it and learned that you can’t really regulate the temp very well and could end up with temps above 125F or more depending on where you live. Here in AZ a car with the windows rolled up can clear 150F, so i…

• You would think (or at least hope) the vegan version would be organic.

  in China Study and raw Vegetarians Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• Bean, your question has come up in other posts, but the short version is that animal protein creates an acidic condition in the blood that our bodies naturally try to regulate by leaching calcium to neutralize the blood’s pH. Our blood pH should be …

• Hi – I read the thread on the other site and I was thinking that your teeth are probably healthier than they’ve ever been before some of the other folks and dentist concluded the same thing! You are right that your diet is probably highly mineralize…

  in notcicing my teeth are becoming see through Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• Superfood – That’s my line but I didn’t use it here. I’ve been saying it for years, then I read it in Skinny Bitch. They said: “Have you ever, ever, ever heard of anyone with protein deficiency?” Or something very emphatic like that.

  in Sources of complete protein - plant based Comment by Mr. Mickmaster
• AND that college nutrition text is perpetuating the myth by even mentioning “complete protein”. I’m not surprised, as nutrition education is still grounded in conventional wisdom and most nutritional researchers are on the meat and dairy boards (exc…
