  in B12 - raw achilles heel? Comment by TomsMom
• flybaby, why do fermented veggies have B12? I was always curious about that. What kind of fermented veggies have it? I’m looking to a more natural source than the pills that were given me. They were given to me but I checked the label and they conta…

• I don’t think people should be hysterical at the idea of being deficiant, since almost all cases of deficiancy are because they have an inability to absorb it, not because of diet. I mean, if you really need a suppliment, take it. But watch out for …

• There are societies in INdia that are strickly vegan and don’t take shots and vitamins, don’t sneak in eggs or fish, yet don’t suffer from vitamin B12 deficiency. However, they probably do ingest quite a lot of very small insect life because they do…

• My own feelings are that they are not washing and scrubbing their foods to death. I image while ancient hominids were hopping around eating fruit, they were chowing down on grasshoppers, too. What kind of test were you given? There’s a lot of contro…

• I don’t really have a recipe but I made some nice oat “cakes”, using raw oats that were sprouted. Basically I just took them and ran them through my mini-processor, with a tablespoon of dried currants and a teaspoon of olive oil(and a bit of water t…

• I dont’ know if you are over-eating. All those fruits and veggies you’re eating are very high in water and very low in calories. If you’re not bloated and still wanting to graze, it’s probably because your body is still hungry. Eat. (except for the …

• If that is what he is basing his diagnosis of malnurishment on, I would consider having another doc look at your results.

  in A slight concern Comment by TomsMom
• What test did he give you? Ask him to give you a copy of the read-out.

• I would consider loosing the Iceberg lettuce and replacing it with a leafier lettuce, like Redleaf, greenleaf, more of that Romaine you like. Iceberg is not high in nutrition or fiber like that others. Other than that, everything looks great.

• I remember when I was a kid, bananas had the tiny black seeds near the center. The banana flesh was a deep, creamy-yellow color and the taste was rich and amazing! The ones I see now in the stores suck. There are dozens of varities of bananas in the…

  in Why I am vegan... Comment by TomsMom
• What did you expect from your friend by shoving it in his face, kathyrn? I don’t eat meat either, but wow I’d be a bit pissed at someone being self-righteous. However, to tell you the truth, I can’t stop laughing at his comment, hahaha.

  in Why I am vegan... Comment by TomsMom
• That’s hard, exfedster. I feel for you. Listen, I think you said it best yourself, though. You have a house with carbs that aren’t great for you. Get rid of them and replace them with raw fruits and vegetables. Most especially dump the oatmeal, stee…

• YOu know, I have to say this teade; you are very beautiful. I’d hate to see you end up looking like me from an ED. I went from 86 pounds to obesity, and then back and forth again 4 times since junior high. I look like a monster now and I’m ill. You …

  in Sprouting Question Comment by TomsMom
• I’m very impressed and proud of you, sweetie. I would just have the hubbie run the food back to the store and get something else(or do it youself and get some good chow!). He’ll get used to you being on raw, so don’t fret. OOXX

  in help! no support at home Comment by TomsMom
• Sounds like they’ve got a problem. That is such a weird thing to say to someone and a bit rude, considering you’re a customer. My experience is that meat-eaters smell bad. Their sweat and breath stinks. I remember when my father went to Japan almost…

• OH, yeah, I stopped eating the dirt that Blue Diamond put out many, many years ago, before any news. Very bad food. Disgusting company.

  in Food Poisoning from Raw Nuts Comment by TomsMom
• Investigate your sources. Companies like Blue Diamond are pigs and store their nuts near feces, this is how their food is infected. Clean people equals clean food.

• For people who can afford blenders that cost several hundred dollars! The average household blender can’t do this and I wish she had given more information, like amount of liquids added, amounts of greens, etc. But thank you for the video:-)

• Honeygal, I didn’t know about the walnut shells until dnacol mentioned it, however, I know about pecans because I read it in the pecan association’s list of industry standards. Then I started to write to every pecans company I saw and found out who …

  in Walnuts Comment by TomsMom
• Yes, dnacol, they are raw. Many kinds of nuts are now washed in cold bleach water to kill bacteria on teh shell. For exampel, almost all pecans are either bleached or heated with steam. The ones exposed to hot steam are not raw, no matter what the b…

• You don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on a blender if you can’t, Angela. I know there are dozens of good brands. I get tired of people saying you MUST have a vita-mix. It’s so elitist, good blender or not, to say you MUST have one and there is…

• I only have a Britta filter, but hope to own a Berkley Light filter set in the future.

  in What Kind of Water Do Y'all Drink? Comment by TomsMom
• The way they do it is to spread them out in the sun for 2 or 3 weeks, which dries up the liquid between the two layers. I forgot what they do after that, but I’ll look it up again and come back:-)
