• This is very interesting. I have been high raw since last September and started to suffer from terrible reflux around February. When I removed nuts from my diet-and granted, I often didn’t bother soaking and sprouting-it resolved. Your post explains…

• Thanks, Winona. I just requested the list from that link.

• O.K., thanks for making my head explode! But your answer brings up the very positive point I made about you. And yes, I will always talk to you Bluedolfin. Guess I have to mention that my hubby (whom I love dearly) continues to eat steak and ooh and…

• Bluedolfin, articulate as usual. You hit the nail on the head. I wish all people who eat meat or hunt could see this because it shows that all creatures are capable of connection and emotion. It always amazes me that pet owners can ooh and ah over t…

• We use the AC very, very sparingly. The apartment has to be absolutely sweltering, and even then we only have it on a short while. The AC feels very unnatural to me, and of course I’m conscious of the energy waste and contribution to global warming.…

• bitt and dorian, I’m with you on your reason for quitting/wanting to quit. I only have been having a cup a day, and recognize it’s not a massive addiction, but I do find out so much about myself when I let it go. There’s definitely an emotional comp…

• greenghost, great idea about cutting teccino with coffee. I have teccino and will definitely do this tomorrow morning. Thanks.

• troublesjustabubble:), same deal for me regarding the acid reflux. It’s gone away due to my diet (had to cut out the nuts—too much fat), so here I am tempting fate again. Glad I’m not the only one!

• troublesjustabubble:) you’re giving me too much coffee encouragement! Actually, studies have shown coffee is useful in fighting Parkinson’s disease as well. Still, I do feel better when I’m off it. Just have to recognize that I will probably be goin…

• Karuna, what about water processed decaf? I was off coffee for a long time, but recently went on vacation to Mexico where the coffee was GREAT. Needless to say, I’m back on it. I know I have to make a real effort to stop, but this does seem to be a …

• Hey, everyone, of course not all mushrooms are poisonous! I love mushrooms, but still would never forage for them. What sad stories, queenfluff and Carmentina. Also, Karuna, glad to hear that the author of the survival book was being responsible. A …

• kminty, chia has a ton of protein and is particularly great if you are an athlete. If you go to Angela Stokes website (google it—can’t remember the web address) she has an entire section devoted to chia and chia recipes.

• I add flaxseed to my morning smoothies and get the same results almost immediately. It’s great at keeping you regular.

• RawCure, I am a speech pathologist who, like lzhpt, worked in Early Intervention for many years. I don’t have to tell you about the high incidence of leaky gut and gluten/casein sensitivity in many kids on the spectrum. I highly recommend consulting…

• Great topic. I also use jojoba oil on the ends of my hair and on my face as a moisturizer. I’ve read a lot about how people use coconut oil as a cleanser. Can anyone tell me how this works? How much do you use, does it make your skin oily, etc.

• Yes, the type of alternative power you use should be commensurate with your environment. If you’re in a sunny climate, perhaps solar. If you have access to a water source that will not be drying up anytime soon, try hydro. I agree with omshanti; it’…

  in wind power, why not? Comment by Mon46
• omshanti, I have not found anything that indicated hydro power damages wildlife of any kind. The turbines are enclosed in a box that shouldn’t have any effect on the fish. It also doesn’t affect the flow of the water—just harnesses the energy.

• Hey RawKidChef and everyone else, here’s a good link for alternative energy: www.absak.com Wouldn’t it be great if we could all be off the grid?

  in wind power, why not? Comment by Mon46
• And don’t forget hydropower. My husband and I are buying a small place in upstate NY that has a creek. We will be using that to power our home, and staying completely off the grid. It’s inexpensive and not too difficult to install. Of course, you ne…

• rawjazz, how many nuts are you eating? They are very, very high in arginine which can definitely trigger outbreaks. Try to add more lysine rich foods instead; I can’t remember what they are, but if you google it there is a ton of info out there. Goo…

• Well, mine turned out pretty badly! The consistency was awful and the tomatoes were overwhelming. I am not giving up, though. I think next time less SD tomatoes and less water. I still think it’s a great idea RKC, I just have to tinker with it a bit…

• lzhpt and RKC, I have also just put a batch in the dehydrator. lzhpt, did you find it a bit messy? Mine kept slipping through the teflex sheets, most likely because there was too much liquid. I also had difficulty getting it to spread evenly. I used…

• nycgrrl, I think Audrey gives some great advice. Something else that might help is getting out of the city (even for a day) and being in a natural environment. I live in NYC too, and even though we all think we’re good at handling all the sensory ov…

  in Dealing with feelings of anger Comment by Mon46
• Thanks very much RKC. I probably won’t have time to do this until the weekend, but am really looking forward to making it. I think using this combo instead of flax or other seeds is brilliant. I think it may taste a little like pizza when it’s done!…

  in RawChefKid's crackers without nuts Comment by Mon46
• RawChefKid, I love your cracker idea. Can you describe the amounts of the ingredients you use? I’ve been off of nuts for a while and am a little tired of flax, so I’d really like to try these. Thanks.

• gorawmom, because kombucha is fermented, it may have a trace of alcohol in it. People get a buzz because it’s so nutrient dense, not because of the alcohol content! It’s definitely worth a try.

  in kombucha Comment by Mon46
• I have a kombucha addiction. I really don’t mind the blobs, either. I have noticed, though, that GTs green kombucha (which I love) is the “blobiest”. The others flavors, not so much.
