• Dr. Bronner's is Castile soap. You can also try Dr. Woods, which is definitely cheaper.

• Glad this thread came up. I don't advocate any way of being raw to anyone because as mentioned above, we all must find what is right for us. That said, I continue to be a little shocked by the massive amount of fat used in most of the raw recipe boo…

• Tukiville and Ambiguous, I love what you both wrote. Voices of reason! Each person has to figure out what's right for their body; we are not "one size fits all". I've stayed away from this site for quite a while because I've really been turned off b…

• Charles, Kandace posted a fantastic recipe for whipped parsnips that was a big hit at my house last year. There is also a lovely cranberry sauce recipe on the site that I've served with great success. Matt Amsden has a nice stuffing recipe (tho' nut…

• Here's mine: raw honey for facial cleanse, coconut oil for moisturizer and for hair after shower (I don't usually use shampoo), and apple cider vinegar when the occasional breakouts occur. It's cheap, natural and it works!

• I love purple kale in smoothies. I've used it with different fruit combinations and each time the flavor has been wonderful.

• Carnap, I am no fan of allopathic medicine, however I do recommend you see a doctor just to get a clear diagnosis. Then you can make an informed decision about how to treat it. If possible, try to seek out a gyno versed in holistic health. Good luck…

• My MIL very kindly gave me a signed copy of Matthew Kenney's recent book (can't remember the name). It's beautifully produced, however I was truly shocked at how many recipes contained copious amounts of cashews. The recipes were also extremely intr…

• Nice to see you all, again--and Happy New Year! Thanks for the comment on my avatar, Meditating. I aspire to his wisdom over the next year (unfortunately, I have a long way to go).

  in Where is the old crowd? Blue Dolphin, Omshanti, anyone? Comment by Mon46
• I was also wondering what happened to everyone. Since the site changed, there also has been a shift in the community. Perhaps it's just a transition. People do seem to have drifted away, though.

• I have to second that about oil pulling. When I first read about it, it just sounded ridiculous. However, I recently had my first root canal and not long after had a 25 year old molar excavated followed by a temporary crown. Although there was no de…

• Rawsiki, one option is Chia seeds. Low in fat, high in protein and lots of bang for your buck financially. Flax seeds are also good, though chia is definitely more filling. Everybody’s different, so I would never tell you how much fat you should hav…
