• Has anyone sprouted their seeds, to see if they’re alive? I read that all hemp seeds imported have been heated to death by law. I’d really like to get some and try them out.

• Hi, nubicy! On each recipe page, look to the right, near the top and just under “About this Recipe”. You will see a few sentences and then a little blue icon and the words “Add to REcipe Box”. Left-click on it and the recipe will be added.

• I’ve tried sage, many, many years ago. My older sister and I read about it and gave it a shot. It didn’t stop the sweats but we smelled like Campbell’s soup all day:-D

• You also need to be careful of pecans, because the industry standard for quite a few years has been to use hot steam to pastuerize the shells before they are finally shelled. Some companies now, to save money, are dipping the pecans(with shells) int…

• I’d love to be able to afford to eat organic all the time, but I can’t pay $1.50 per orange and $7 for a head of cauliflower, $4 and $5 for a small bunch of lettuce, etc. I wish I could. I think the extreme cost is just my area, though, but I don’t …

• That’s a brilliant idea, actually.

• I just read something that said that groats are steamed and roasted. I always thought that groats were just hulled but not steamed. Grr, is right. I’ll probably eat them every so often anyhow, but I wish I knew which grains were not habitually steam…

• It’s interesting that the lectin damage which induces mucus production is considered bad but the mucus production caused by fiber damage to the cells of the intestinal wall is considered healthy. I mean, I know it’s not the same thing, but I’m curio…

• The only filters I can think of that will remove Fluoride are activated alumina defluoridation filters and reverse osmosis filters. But I’m not an expert. Have you found any sites that talk about this? I’ve never been able to get an answer from muni…

• I hope they update their list to add almonds. On pecans, I knew the shells are generally treated with hot steam before shelling, so I started to call pecan companies to find anyone who used a non-heat method because the only non-treated pecans I see…

• troublesjustabubble, my hair doesn’t smell like vinegar if I use the white. However, if I use apple cider vinegar, for some reason the smell will hang around my head for a couple of hours. queenfluff, why shouldn’t we use white vinegar instead of le…

• I haven’t had a chance to use lemon juice yet, but I use white vinegar in water, and it makes my hair clean, very soft and easy to comb. (when I do bother to comb it, than is, haha)

• All organic shampoos are just detergents except for a couple that are liquid soaps. It’s a hype to call it “organic”. They are all full of additional harmful ingredients.

• Damn, southernlover, that is such crap!!! I feel so sorry for you. Well, look, if you have to , you can point out to these morons how dirty their own hair and bodies are! It’s true. We’re not a very clean people, although we seem obsessed with clean…

• If anyone has a recipe for the salt scrub, I’ll try making it! My hair is curly but extremely fragile, even the hard water here makes it frizzy and brittle. It looks like thyroid hair:( It’s definately better since I went no-poo but still not normal…

• My parents asked me today how to go about turning no-poo! I was really surprised. I think they asked because when they saw me today, they could see how curly my long hair was and they hadn’t seen any curl for years because of shampoo damage! Yay!! I…

• Thank you, queenfluff! If I use an essential oil, should I rinse it out completely? Or should I just put a bit in a glass of water and douse my head? Also, how often should I rinse my hair? Was twice a week too much? Sorry for the questions, duh!

  in To shampoo or not to shampoo? Comment by TomsMom
• Okay, I’ll try a double rinse with ACV and no baking soda today. (You say the avc shouldn’t be raw?)

• I think my hair is taking too long to normalize. I went no-poo at the end of November and although my curls are back(yay!!!), and it looks good, my hair smells! And it has a thick, rough quality to it, as if it is waxed but dry. I can’t stand the sm…
