• rawrider, That’s good that you have been happy with your IUD, but personally I find them barbaric. Just something about it seems wrong. Plus the potential side effects are among the worst things imaginable. I don’t know why anyone would knowingly p…

• Oh, no, don’t do that! IUDs are terrible! Seriously? Putting an object inside your uterus is the worst idea I can imagine. Just google “IUD side effects” and read some of the stuff that pops up. Here’s a good example: “I just got my IUD inserted abo…

• I chart myself and I highly recommend doing it! I was on the pill for almost 7 years, and after charting for just a few months, I can tell you there’s no way I’d ever go back. Being on the pill cannot be healthy in the long term, plus, not many wome…

• “Best” brand are not irradiated, but I have no idea if they are formaldehyde-treated or not. I read on another thread that the formaldhyde is dilute does not penetrate into the inside. It’s just to stop mold during transport. Consume at your own ris…

• Zoe, i’m a satsuma addict like you! the lab i work at is located on an agricultural station, so i’m literally surrounded by satsumas (and pecans!) all the time. so tempting, we can’t pick them, but they sell them down the street at a farmers market …

• Freezing slighty changes the texture of the meat, but does not destroy it by any means. Plus it’s so much easier to just thaw when you need it, rather than the whole process of opening coconuts and getting the meat.

• Cilantro seems like one of those foods that you either love or hate. Me, I love it, and add extra to any recipes that call for it. I could eat it straight and sometimes do. My sister, however, hates it! Super pet peeve of hers, she can detect even t…

• It’s amusing to me that I’m sitting here reading this post while eating a coconut… I’m curious about this fat thing though. Today I was offshore scuba diving for the second day in a row, and without a doubt, I find it is much harder for me to stay w…

• skyespice, When a woman does not have her period, it does not necessarily mean she is not ovulating. It’s true that some raw foodists have short or no periods, but many also get pregnant while not having a period. Katie (above) referred to an articl…

• The book “Raw Food Real World” has a recipe for Samosas that sounds fabulous and authentic tasting (if you have a dehydrator). Let me know if you want it and I can upload it on here. I’ve never had bhangan bharta, but maybe you could dehydrate eggpl…

• Hey aleta, I started out my raw life with a juice fast, too! 10 days, and then raw ever since. Juice fasting was so fabulous, I was never hungry and I had loads of energy. I had one weird detox episode on day 7 (sweating, chills, nausea, muscle weak…
