• Please don’t feel bad, jmasterson. We know it’s really hard sometimes, especially when there is junk lying around from other people in the house. Ignore the remarks. I’m very impressed with you.:-)

• I practice dry body-brushing, then soak in a salt bath. Often, I add a couple of big spoons of baking soda to the bath. I rinse off afterwards. I don’t use shampoo anymore, either. Just water a few times a week, with a rinse of apple cider vinegar o…

• You should really do any diet for a lot longer than 30 days. There is no way to get an objective view or truthful results in 30 days. Sorry, hard science background. But good luck!:-)

• I just started to use my Sprout Master trays and now I LOVE to grow sprouts! I always whined with each batch using jars. I grow alfalfa sprouts and chickpeas regularly(about every 4 days I set up a batch), and grow other things like green pea, grain…

  in so WHY is raw food a no-no for breast feeding women? Comment by TomsMom
• Nonsense. It’s okay for mothers to keep shoveling in bad foods with the idea that they will be poisoning their unborn infants if they eat HEALTHY? Your body will not pump “toxins”from de-toxing into breast milk. It can only hurt your baby if you’re …

• All these are awesome answers, thank you to everyone and to Satchy for posting! I need to look at those latex-free gloves for myself, too. OOXX

  in Dying of Dry Hand Syndrome!!!!!! Comment by TomsMom
• I have painfully dry-damaged hands! They hurt! Also, the skin sometimes opens and bleeds. It’s because I feed my cat raw meat/bone/organ diet so I wash my hands constantly. I know detergent and soap is bad for the hands, but I need to clean them. An…

  in If you are not 100% raw... Comment by TomsMom
• I wasn’t condoning eating insects; I was just stating that early homids mostly likely got their “animal” source of B12 from this, as do all apes today. I’m sorry I was so tart. I’m in my 40s and started caring about animals on my own when I was just…

  in B12 - I got tested and am deficient Comment by TomsMom
• Don’t talk to me like that. It’s not appreciated.

  in B12 - I got tested and am deficient Comment by TomsMom
• I don’t think it’s better to take a pill or shot for B12. I don’t think someone should eat meat or milk or eggs for it, either. Better off eating some ants or grasshoppers, and I’m not joking either. Much more natural for humans than meat/dairy/egg.…

• Hi, Tinkerbelly. I would give your body more time to adjust, seriously. I, too, am very heavy, and the first month I ate raw, I lost nothing. The second month, only 2 pounds. After that, I lost about 2 pounds per week, which is much more! But you se…

• The body cannot digest everything that is taken it. It can only pass it along, digest or no. Not all foods are “fully digested”. I’m referring to cooked foods mostly. Producing a stinking sludge at the end of the gastro-intestinal tract is not fully…

• But that doesn’t mean that the vegetable in question is better for the body over-all when it is cooked. You give up much more when you heat it.

  in HUH?! Comment by TomsMom
• “Euro-American civilization ” from the article mentioned above . . . ummm, maybe I’m just too old, but I find that the sort of term in articles filled with racism and hatred. It raises flags immediately.

• The thing is, when living in Burma, I did note that there is an almost total innocence on the part of the people in trying to keep their products looking “pretty”, you know? I mean, there was no deceit intended. So when asking any Asian company abou…

  in Young thai coconuts danger? Comment by TomsMom
• He mentions the husk was also tested. So, did he send in a whole coconut encased in husk only or also one of those “dehusked” ones that are shaved to a point that I see in the stores? Those are the ones that people are saying have been dipped to sto…

• I think you’re right on with lowering the nuts, agave and coconuts, Joyce. After reading the other day that the date industry fumigates and pastuerizes the fresh dates before drying, it’s just not worth it. I’ve lived in Asia and I’ve seen first-han…

  in Young thai coconuts danger? Comment by TomsMom
• I’m not trying to be mean, but believing a food company because they say to, doesn’t instill faith in my heart. If people are finding that young Thai coconuts have been dipped in preservatives and have proven it,(which they apparently have) then I’m…

• Definately hang in there. When I went raw,I actually went at least 90 percent raw right away. I didn’t know that wasn’t recommended. For the first few days I felt wonderful, then I felt almost like I had flu! I was in the bathroom half the time, lol…

• Northernlights, that is a great idea! I wish I could find a book like that.

  in What kind of recipe book would you like? Comment by TomsMom
• I’d like to see low-fat recipes, without the heavy emphasis on nuts, seeds and oils. Also, advise on the nutrients in fruits and vegetable, like a vitamin chart, showing minerals and vitamins. That makes it much, much easier to learn to shop for app…

• The FDA is in the habit of openly endorsing and promoting drugs and additives. They will sell anything they are paid to sell. They are thoroughly corrupt. Anyone remember dioxin in common personal hygiene products in this country not too long ago? A…
