• Chakra essence, I found some kits online that allow you to make it at home. Thanks for letting me know about the sugar; when I first read about putting (ugh) a cup of white sugar in the starter, I wasn’t sure I wanted to try it. Glad to know it’s no…

• The Rawvolution uncookbook has a great recipe for hummus that doesn’t require chickpeas but uses zucchini and raw tahini instead. I’ve made it several times and it’s delicious.

• Ambergirl, you hit upon a very important theme that occurs in most if not all eating disorders. Perfectionism. You saw the video and wondered if you “could ever live up to the standard.” Is that the first time you ever felt that way? When I was at t…

• Bdhand40, I so appreciate your honest self assessment. It sounds like raw may not be right for you given the fatigue and hunger that you describe. You would not be a failure if you found an alternative way to eat! I have been thinking about consulti…

• Belisarius, I appreciate your input. In addition to people under and over eating, I’ve also noticed many posts about frequent cleansing, enemas, colonics and the like. I’ve wondered about the true impetus for all this. I know it has its place in hea…

• This is a good topic. Since going raw, I believe my health has improved as a couple of chronic conditions have cleared up. However, I also have a history of eating disorders (which I believed were long resolved). Now I’m not so sure. I have lost wei…

• I stopped putting bananas in my smoothies for a while and actually felt a little better. I did add one to my smoothie today and feel o.k. I think it’s good to vary your food, no matter how healthy it is.

• Great ideas—especially halvah and truffles. Thanks so much!

• germin8, no, not really. Maybe smaller bms once or twice, but generally the smoothies have really improved my digestion. I used to have IBS with constipation and that has stopped since going raw. TMI, I know!

• I don’t like smoking and have seen it’s effects first hand. My dad had severe heart disease (3 bypass operations) and eventually died from it. My mom has end stage lung disease after smoking 40 years. That said, I think it is incredibly easy to judg…

• Justagirl, do you take the probiotic and enzyme before or after the meal? I have only had cooked food (pumpkin stew) 1x since September. I am taking my non raw husband out to a fancy restaurant for his birthday, and know that my raw choices are goin…

• I have been using Jason’s organic skin moisturizer and sometimes Jason’s shampoo (tho only about 1-2x per week). Recently, a colleague gave me samples from Argonne skin care. Has anyone tried these products before? Results?

  in Broccoli Ideas Comment by Mon46
• JoyceH, what is the consistency of the brocolli when dehydrated? Also, what temp do you use for that? Thanks.

  in Broccoli Ideas Comment by Mon46
• angelsfeet, as I mentioned, you can still get pretty decent greens, root vegetables, apples, pears. There is also a stand that sells a variety of sprouts. Best days to go are Weds. and Friday. Monday is kind of dead, and Saturday is a zoo (though in…

• Angelsfeet, I live in NYC, too. Yes, there are farmer’s markets this time of year. The biggest is Union Square market which is open Mon, Wed, Fri, and Sat. Of course, this time of year the pickings are a little less, but there are still plenty of gr…
