• You look slender. What is your height and weight now? It’s hard to believe you needed to loose anything before.:-) It’s also very hard to gain 15 pound in so short a period of time. Are you sure it’s not water gain? Maybe you were really too thin an…

  in Shellshocked Comment by TomsMom
• I think Justine just gave very good advise on the allergy tests. If it has not been done, then you do need to have your exact allergies pin-pointed. I don’t know what your physician has said, but perhaps you need to see a specialist if all you are h…

  in Unique Problem Comment by TomsMom
• I read it, but it’s not news. That’s been known for decades but the media doesn’t bother to report it enough unless their sales are slowing down. Jerks. Anyhow, it’s one of the reasons I don’t take any drug unless absolutely neccessary and that incl…

• It’s easier to find out what your own local farmer is putting on his peaches and also easier to know if there are problems with sick pickers(sorry to put it that way, but it’s a fact of life.) Freezing fruits won’t harm the nutrients and it’s great …

  in Local frozen or imported raw? Comment by TomsMom
• It could be, Luna blu. It must be. To be honest, he looks much more aged than any 57 year old man I’ve ever seen, so something must have caused serious damage. Drugs, or steroids or the smoking, or all of them. The very first time I saw that pic was…

• I know I sound dumb but I feel sorry for him.(Arnie, I mean). Another good example is looking at Sylvester Stalone, who is stuffing himself with drugs and hormones. His pumped muscles look sickly and gross, his face is bloated like a junkies and his…

• You’re very sweet, Luna blu.

  in What else can we do.... Comment by TomsMom
• Just for your raw meals, it’s very little in the way of calories, but I wouldn’t worry about calories or fat grams or anything for now. Give your body a few weeks at the very least.

  in Eating enough Comment by TomsMom
• I can’t say I’m vegan even though my diet as a “pure vegetarian” is the same as a vegans. (I wear wool in the winter and a vegan will not.) However, I became interested in animals when I was 11 and saw some literature for some grass-roots animal res…

  in What made you choose veganism? Comment by TomsMom
• You can soak some of your sunflower seeds and then blend them with the avocado and basil! You don’t even have to use the seeds, you can blend an avocado with anything like deseeded cucumber or a sweet yellow or orange (or even red) bell peppper. I h…

• Yummm! I’d love your opinion of their food quality, Luna blu!

  in Where can I buy truly raw nuts? Comment by TomsMom
• Lots of kinds of nuts are routinely heat-pasteurized in shell before they are shelled. Industry standard. Other kinds are heated becuase it makes shelling easier. Pecans, brazil nuts, macadamias, etc., are usually heated before being shelled. Ask th…

  in Where can I buy truly raw nuts? Comment by TomsMom
• I’ve gone from having years of painful, soaking hot flashes to being very very cold. The last few days I started to eat whole dulse and for the last two days I’ve been having intense, sweating hot flashes again. I wonder if I ate too much iodine fro…

• I think I get those sites and owners mixed up, lol, thank you guys again:-)

  in Pecan mylk? Comment by TomsMom
• rawclaire, just to be on the safe side, I wrote to them a few minutes ago and asked if their shells had not been heated. Only because I’ve run across a lot of sites that claimed “raw” and after I bought nuts, I could tell they had clearly been heate…

  in Pecan mylk? Comment by TomsMom
• I love to shell, too! The company I buy shelled pecans from also sell them in the shell. I don’t know if they leave these alone or clean them but you can ask. Is this a good price for in-shell? If it is, then I might buy unshelled. http://retail.pec…

  in Pecan mylk? Comment by TomsMom
• On pecans and dead/live foods, I think I was one of the people who warned that industry procedure was to steam heat the shells of pecans to sterilize them, BUT I’ve also stated several times that many companies now use bleach water on the shells, wh…

• Thank you so very much, rawclaire!

  in Pecan mylk? Comment by TomsMom
• Oh, I’m sorry, Justine. I meant the hormone problems. I thought you meant fermented soy products posed less of a problem. FuzzyWuzzy, I’d love to use some sort of almond milk but the price of almonds is far beyond me. To be honest, mostly I just wan…

  in What's up with Soy/Soya Milk? Comment by TomsMom
• Justine, does the fermentation in things like tempeh lessen the effects?

  in What's up with Soy/Soya Milk? Comment by TomsMom
• You can’t make it raw and taste anything remotely human, trust me. I’ve done it, lol! I made a really lovely, creamy white liquid and spit it out as fast as I could! :-D

  in What's up with Soy/Soya Milk? Comment by TomsMom
• Aside from my own salads, i guess my first raw “meal”, made from a recipe here, was that herb-encrusted mock “steak” made from Portabello mushrooms. I never was a real meat-eater but the sauce sounded so awesome and it was! The veggie side dish and …

  in Your first raw meal? Comment by TomsMom
• Yes, angie, lol. I guess my sarcasm wasn’t effective:-D

  in MY DOC THINKS I MIGHT BE AT RISK FOR HIGH BLOOD SUGAR Comment by TomsMom
• Well, without knowing you or what your raw diet is like from day to day, it still sounds like your doctor might have some issues. It seems to have come down to one woman telling another that she will become fat for no apparent reason. If you really …

• lol, angie! When I hear that, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry:-D Did you hear about the Diabetic Assoc guy and the grant from Schweppes? I need to do some reading on that actually, to make sure I read right. But I almost puked with rage. Edit: …

  in MY DOC THINKS I MIGHT BE AT RISK FOR HIGH BLOOD SUGAR Comment by TomsMom
• One thing: actually I believe the food pyramid is largely influenced by consumerism and capitalist desires. Milk? That is the dead give-away.
