• I know this is going to sound really dumb, but are you washing your greens really well first? I ask because about three weeks ago I forgot to wash some swiss chard and got a mouthful of soap! (organic pesticide, haha, they used old fashioned soap!) …

• No, it’s a traditionally baked bread, although I’m sure there are raw version recipes around. (You’re talking about ezekiel bread you bought at a store, right?)

• Thank you, greenie.

• Hugs! OOXX

  in need to be encourage! Comment by TomsMom
• Meditating, thank you for the links. My point is that this is a false food shortage. If people opt to grow grain for fuel instead of food, then it is a choice and not a true shortage, which(just in my opinion) would be caused by draught and other na…

• We’re not running out of food; it’s just that countries like China can now afford to buy much more imported foods. The media is doing all it can to cause irrational fear and increase their audiences.

• dorian don’t, if he has real problems that keep him from chewing raw meat and bone, then you can grind it up for him. My girl has some jaw problems left from kittenhood and although she now handles meat chunks and small ribs great, she can’t handle …

  in Milk and kitty cats Comment by TomsMom
• I totally understand that for many, kibble is the affordable option, but if you can afford better, get kitty off the kibble. It creates plaque on the teeth. It does not clean the teeth in any way. This is propoganda from the pet food industry, sprea…

• “Health benefits” we can’t deny? Nooooo. What heath benefits? Because something contains calcium, it’s automatically healthy? Milk for an adult is a highly inappropriate food, most especially cow’s milk. It’s not a good food for humans, and cannot p…

• An awesome whole food. I wish I would stop seeing avocados treated badly. People tend to talk about them with the same breath as they do olive oil, which is a concentrated oil. It’s not the same thing. I’d rather have an avocado any time over an oil…

• You can always hope. Mine has only gotten grayer, darn it.

  in Will raw make my hair go back to blonde? Comment by TomsMom
• I had cravings until I gave up the grain products entirely. They’re horribly addictive and create other unhealthy cravings. Believe me, it was hard because my family is Italian, but it was so worth it. I just threw everything from grain away. I thin…

• Thank you for this, Winona!

  in Palm oil destroy Orangutan habitat Comment by TomsMom
• I buy my nuts only from a farmer, direct(and always specifically ask how they clean the nuts or unhulled nuts). I usually order from them online, but I also buy locally when I can. The reasons I avoid local stores on nuts is because of the problems …

  in What raw-products should I buy on the internet? Comment by TomsMom
• One thing we all really have to learn is to not refer to fresh fruit with the same breath as we do refined sugars. Our bodies do not treat an apple the same way as they do a spoon of refined sugar. I’ve noticed in recent years the propoganda coming …

• durianrider, a person shouldn’t glug down water before eating. It’s bad for the digestion.

• More medicos preying on women and children. Why am I not surprised?

  in Gardasil USELESS against HPV Comment by TomsMom
• I get cravings at night, too. I know it sounds weird, but I make a green salad with some chopped apple on it. Sometimes a bit of avocado. It really fixes me up!

• nycgrrl, if you go no poo, you won’t be sorry! I promise:) It’ll be gross for a while but it’s so worth it in the end. You hair will be soft and silky(and curly like mad if it’s inclined to curl) and your scalp will be very nice. Also, you’ll have t…

  in hair loss?? Comment by TomsMom
• I’ll read that article, thank you, nycgrrl! What I meant by not liking the “detox” thing is that the word is just bandied about without definition or explanation. So when it’s used like that it literally means nothing. I’m not denying we go through …

  in hair loss?? Comment by TomsMom
• Me, too, nycgirl! Since I’m not eating less protein or nutrients than most here, I can’t think of what caused mine, except that I came off some horrible medications about 6 months ago. Every so often someone asks the same questions and to be honest,…

• I’m going to only buy direct from a grower. I not only trust them more than distributors and stores, but I would rather the grower have the money.

  in MUST READ! Info on "raw" almonds Comment by TomsMom
• farmeral, thank you for providing terrifically good information for us on almonds(as usual!). I was just curious, for almonds that are pasteurized, who is responsible for sterilizing the almonds themselves? Growers?

  in MUST READ! Info on "raw" almonds Comment by TomsMom
• It’s completely out of hand. A couple of weeks ago, I read some little blurb on Yahoo’s health page from a professional idiot who was telling people that they should wear sunscreen 24/7, even if they sat in an office all day. God forbid the horrid a…

  in Pure nonSUNse! Comment by TomsMom
• progressive chick, it’s possible, considering that nuts like walnuts, almonds and pecans are several months old already because we’re well past harvesting time, that your nuts are already contaminated with spores. Are the nuts rancid? I don’t know w…

• Prill beads are magnesium oxide. Right now, I’m just using a Brita filter, a minimal filtrator IMO, which is better than my gagifying local water, but I’m saving to invest in a Berkey water purifier. Expensive but worth it. You can pour water from t…

• Honestly, I loved the raw hummus so much, raxbnl8, I had to stop buying the ingredients so I would not be tempted to indulge! So you could just do that, or you could try to recreate the flavors in a recipe that doesn’t have, say the fat/oil. I assum…

• I just now reread the articles I saw, plus Meditating’s, and I’m utterly ashamed of my country. Yes, we are openly threatening the Koreans to buy and consume our soiled beef. RawK, you are so right. I can’t believe how much worse we have become over…

  in Could Mad Cow Disease Already Be Killing Thousands of Americans Each Year? Comment by TomsMom
• I haven’t read your articles yet(I will), but I was just thinking about the Koreans not wanting our beef, and I believe we threatened them if they refused it. It should tell us something about ourselves.
