• from Kevlar: “Why don’t you tell us what you specifically disagree with in the video, like an adult?” Very petty and childish, kevlar. Stomping your feet doesn’t equate maturity or intellect. Keep trying.

  in Codex alimentarius Comment by TomsMom
• Kevlar, WHERE are you getting your thoughts of my views from? Did you not read what I said? As far as the FDA is concerned, I was writing papers in the 6th grade(in 1975, uggg!) for school about the corruption of the FDA, while most kids were goofin…

• aspire: I was rude to you and I apologize. kevlar, it’s not that I admire or have faith in codex alimentarius; I don’t. I see it for what it is, a greedy corrupt and totally insane creature. I simply do not like or put faith in a shrieking maniac li…

  in Codex alimentarius Comment by TomsMom
• aspire, I did not say that. I said the woman in the video was spouting half-truths and she is. My advise to read Wiki was to make it easier to get an idea of what Codex was in a condensed version before moving on. Just because I don’t froth at the m…

• Anti-vegans like Joseph Mercola claim that vegans who are tested and found to have good levels of B-12, have been tested for the “wrong kind” of B12. What do you think of those claims? I”m interested in knowing. I read some of that thread of Chris’ …

• greenghost, I think I sounded very snotty above. I didn’t mean to; I’m sorry! You did get me to thinking about getting a better plant-based source of omega-3s, however. I have epilepsy and the only source I’ve tried so far that helps was the fish oi…

• I thought the conversion(with regards to flaxseed) was about 20 percent. I don’t think that’s ineffecient. I think a lot of us in the U.S. have been trained to believe that if a food does not give us 100% of any vitamin or mineral or whatever, then …

  in I'm missing something.... Comment by TomsMom
• When I have omega-3 needs, I eat a handful of raw walnuts. I find the results are superior than if I eat flax seed. Maybe the omega-3s in walnuts are more bioavailable? I don’t know; perhaps it’s just me. Also, on the seaweed: I eat whole dulse, nev…

• chicory, I found a couple of sites that sold fresh olives out of California! They ship them right to you. I can’t remember the names, but I’m sure you can find them. I begged room in my parents basement so I can set up crocks of my own salt-cured ol…

• I read that, too. He is not healthy. You can’t be healthy eating nothing but enormous quantities of breads and fried meats. He certainly is not getting all of his vitamins and minerals and is flying high on non-stop sugars. What people see as high e…

• I’ve used both the Champion and the Omega 8003(borrowed from my Mom!) for my juicing, and after experimenting with them both, I settled for buying the Omega 8003. Both juicers have pros and cons. What you choose will depend on what you want to juice…

• Be careful with weight loss expectations. There are those who claim you can eat as much as you desire as long as it is raw, but of course it really comes down to fact and common sense: if you eat more calories than your body and lifestyle need and c…

• I had problems for a looooong time! Terminal runs for months, longer than anyone I know who is a raw eater. Then again, I was also weaning from some nasty medications, and I had years of being an unhealthy cooked vegetarian behind me along with diso…

• Kashi’s commercials are classist and racist. It’s aimed directly at a white middle class. Hence the commericals showing well off white folks cavorting in play and shrieking with pleasure in foreign countries while being assisted by the grinning, ign…

• debbietook, I’m sorry you treated so shabbily. You have every right to express your feelings to this company and they are out of line. Their response was hideously rude and shocking. I know you don’t like to name names, but all of us really do need …

  in Water used to be simple, eh? Comment by TomsMom
• kevlar, “wasted water” is not as important as flushing poisons back into the main water supply, which was my issue, although I don’t believe we should be flippant about waste, either.(I am not saying you were flippant!) By “waste”, I don’t meant was…

• kevlar, hi. Well, the Berkey offers extra filters that will take out the fluoride, but they cost of course. It’s a better option for those who cannot install fancy and expensive reverse osmosis systems in their homes(rentals, for instance) I also pr…

  in Water used to be simple, eh? Comment by TomsMom
• I’m saving to get a Berkey water purifier. Right now all I have is a Brita filter. Not the greatest thing in the world, considering all the filth and chemicals it does NOT filter out, but better than nothing for right now.

• I had an incomplete sentence above. When I said to eat a wide variety of foods, it was to get your amino acids, sorry!

  in Scrutiny from others Comment by TomsMom
• Don’t fret too much about getting proteins in their whole form. After all, your body does NOT use proteins from food directly, but instead, breaks them down into their amino acid components. So, it’s more important to make sure you eat a wide variet…

• I agree on the dairy. If it’s in the diet at all, get rid of it. Stress often kicks off an attack of eczema, but dairy sure seems to aggravate it. Also, I would seriously stop the creams and ointments from the doc. None of this stuff has even been s…

• You have disordered eating, don’t you? I’m not sure if I’m remembering right. Anyhow, I think you’re probably missing something like vitamin C or K. Why don’t you give us an example of a daily menu so we can help more.

  in why am i brusing so easyly? Comment by TomsMom
• Yes, the prices for natural mattresses are grossly inflated. People are greedy, even people in the health industry. I have an all-cotton futon, Japanese(nice and thin!), and yet because it is sold in this stupid country, it had to be treated. Someda…

• Sorry, mamamilk, I can’t tell when someone has asked me a question. I wouldn’t have been so rude as to make you wait! I just emailed Ray and Kandace and asked:-) See the “contact us” at the bottom of the page? That is where I wrote.
