  • achin70 (and everyone else), thank you very much. I think you are probably right about the low stomach acid. I’m going to start with your suggestion of half a lemon with water. On instinct, I tried the banana thing, but I don’t think it did the tric…

  • Thanks, yammygirl. I really don’t have gourmet raw food, and my diet mainly consists of fruit, green smoothies and salads. I do eat nuts (not tons, and generally not in recipes) and seeds, though. I will definitely check out the website. I really do…

  • I signed when JoyceH originally posted before.

  • ardesmond, I wondered the same thing, but didn’t have the common sense to ask kandace or ray. Remember, there are no stupid questions…more stupid not to ask them!
  • Wow, queenfluff. I have been eating many things on that list and have lately noticed fewer grays and definitely thicker hair. I only use a little shampoo 1-2x a week, and lately have been putting jojoba oil on the ends while it’s still wet. It reall…

  • I have to say I have never felt good after eating cacao. I’ve tried it several times, but always felt a little spacey and anxious afterwards. I know there is a lot of controversy about it; some people do very well with it while others (like me) not …
  • JoyceH, that sounds very savory and delicious. Like you, I am going for simplicity. Thanks!
  • There’s a wonderful recipe on here for “Mashed Cauliflower.” It calls for 3/4 cup of the seeds of your choice.I only used 1/4 cup making it a fairly low fat option. It was very tasty.
  • High raw since September 2007.
  • I have to say, they really did a great job describing which lipstick would go with what hair color and skin tone. I’ll definitely order again.

  • amysue, I just got my nail polish and lipstick from peacekeeper. Great recommendation! They are very nice products.

  • amysue, thank you so much for the link. I am going to purchase some of products and bring the polish next time I get a pedi. I’ll also check out that polish remover.
    in Pedicures! Comment by Mon46
  • Thanks, everyone. Like you all, I use all natural products, but I do cheat a little as well. I use the Aveda haircolor which supposedly only has “3%” chemicals (whatever that means). I have thought about just getting the pedi with the nail buffing o…

  • Hey Sue, yes Sunday is the biggest Whole sheep day of all. Sorry you had to experience it!
  • Sue, I have been to the WF in White Plains. It is infinitely better than the one I shop in Union Square where the aisles are narrow and just reaching for produce becomes a chore. I’m still with ardesmond on the phoniness factor, however sue and eliz…
  • I’m with you, ardesmond. The place has a really bad vibe no matter how hard they try to literally sell the whole whole concept.
  • EnjoyRaw, I love it!!! Thanks for solving the mystery.
  • Ardesomond, why are you boycotting Wholefoods? Because it is annoying and expensive? I know this sounds mean, but my husband and I call it “Whole Sheep” because people kind of stand around milling and starting at the food. It’s kind of weird!
  • Sarah J, excellent post. Thank you for taking the initiative.
  • Hi everyone. I had started a thread a while back asking how to make Kombucha tea. There were some fabulous and very detailed instructions. I realized, however, that I’m the kind of person who does better with some kind of “kit” (o.k., I’m lazy). Her…
  • I have a cuisinart that also has a blender. Inexpensive and works very well.

  • Adenssppell, I’m just going to reiterate what everyone else is saying: Listen to your body! I know exactly how you feel—sometimes reading the posts can make you feel as if you are doing it wrong. You have to do what’s right for you, otherwise all th…

  • I will never understand why women do this to themselves. Of course, there are situations (reconstructive surgery after breast cancer, obvious differences in breast size) that make sense. But for those women who have perfectly wonderful, healthy bodi…
  • I signed them, too. I couldn’t subject myself to the video. I’ll never understand this kind of ghastly, useless cruelty.
  • amysue, in my opinion, some good ones to start with are “You Can Heal Your Life” (a classic), “Life: Reflections on Your Journey” and “The Power is Within You.” As Joyce mentioned, her book about gratitude is very good, too. Her CDs are also very go…

  • I’m with Joyce H. on this one. Louise Hay has helped me immeasurably on my spiritual path, and she is someone I find myself going back to over and over again. In fact, there is a film of “You Can Heal Your Life” that I found very moving. You can als…

  • How far are you from Belfast? We have family up there and may be able to combine a visit.
  • Hey Ray, the site has been intermittently slow for me as well the last couple days. I use Firefox which usually is good. Hey Angie, nice pic!
  • You’re not alone, mandelicious. For the first time in many months I had cooked food at a macrobiotic restaurant. I was really craving something warm and savory, so I had tempeh in mushroom sauce and cooked veggies. Mistake! I really felt lousy for t…
  • Lyn-doe, I would also refer you to an old book by Geneen Roth called “When Food Is Love.” It deals specifically with binge eating and facing our emotions/fears around food. You may also want to start keeping a journal to help get in touch with what’…
