  • if you are in pain after eating, that could be for a variety of reasons: from the mouth down: not chewing food well enough, lack of hydrochloric acid in the stomach to break down fiber, lack of bile flow (clogged liver), inflammation in the small in…
  • to improve your digestion, you really have to fix your digestive system, by clearing away solid debris in the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts. this gets bile flowing normally again, and allows intestinal issues to heal. some raw foods do upset th…
  • agreeing with nicole here: if you are constipated, then you aren't detoxing. i've found the best natural laxative that is easy on the body is either oxy-mag or epsom salt - epsom is a lot cheaper and you can find it any drug store. take 1 heaping ta…
  • and even 100% pure organic maple syrup is produced at temperatures near and sometimes above boiling water. im sure its better than corn syrup and white sugar though.

  • mmmm i had that happen once or twice at least a year ago. i remember it really hurt. i think i did pop the thing and it was gross - bunch of yellow pus came out. keep your mouth really clean. maybe try oil pulling - if you've never heard of this its…
  • just make sure you are buying tea from companies that don't bleach their tea bags. Yogi Tea, Traditional Medicinals, Tulsi Tea use either unbleached or oxygen bleached bags, which is fine. i usually buy those brands. whole foods brand does use bleac…

  • http://jes-livercleanse.blogspot.com/ the oil/lemon flush is that way to go. not sure who made up this thing about the stones coming out being saponified oil, but that's just BS, for many reasons. and if you go to a doctor to get tested for stones, …

  • i have had similar experiences of detox - VERY sore throat - painful bumps on back of tongue and throat - lots of snot and mucus - a little more fatigued than normal. this has happened 2-3 times in the past year and it usually lasts 3-4 days. and ha…
  • of course, if you are having an allergic reaction to something, don't eat it. i have a definite reaction to soy (soy sauce is the worst), wheat (and all other gluten), and raw honey. i avoid eating these as much as possible because i cant stand feel…

  • i think people need to be asking the question more: what is causing the allergic reaction? what is the difference between someone who can eat 2 handfuls of nuts and feel great and people who can't have even 1 pecan? an ability to break down food eat…
  • definitely soak/rinse them first - they have a weird plastic smell out of the bag - this goes away. then put your sauce on them, which should have some kind of oil and acid. let sit for 30-60 mins and they'll soften up a lot. if you let them sit ove…
  • i have been 90-100 % raw for over 3 years, along with lots of cleanses, flushes, and so on. i've never felt better. and really, the only health issue i have that has not improved at all is dandruff, which started when i was 13 years old (22 now) - i…
    in eczema! Comment by DreamBrother
  • while eating more calories, more fat, more superfoods might help you modestly, the underlying cause of your symptoms is bile blockage (gall stones) and a poorly functioning intestine. i had the exact same symptoms after going mostly raw vegan 2 year…
  • "It seems to me, in my humble opinion, that the cashew nut/seed is not designed to be eaten." right on, twitch. just to add to what others are saying here, cashews (and peanuts) contain, on average, 25 different strains of fungus. i mean, its okay t…
  • if anyone tries the cut in half and dehydrate method, let us know! i've always wanted to try some seeded raisins.
  • raw coffee beans are pretty toxic. i would go with the cold brew method. or make a "sun coffee". i almost never drink coffee but when i do i blend it into a chocolate smoothie and i dont get a caffeine rush or anything.

  • i bought the excalibur silicone sheets, thnking i was being smart to avoid the teflon. when the sheets arrived i was really disappointed - they were giving off this terribly strong chemical smell. ive had em for a couple months and the smell is stil…
  • seaweeds contain naturally occurring glutamate molecules (as do tomatoes), but they are only harmful when heated. nama shoyu, miso is different bc those foods are made from boiled or steamed soybeans, wheat, barley, etc. they do contain MSG.
    in MSG? kelp?? Comment by DreamBrother
  • sounds mold, fungus, yeast related. try going a week without any grains, beans, hybrid foods. dont eat: date carrot beet banana sprouted beans or grains potato or yam seedless fruit and eat a lot of bitter greens like dandelion, kale, parsley and se…
  • hello heloise. welcome. im from the northern virginia area and i hear theres a great raw food meetup/potluck in the arlington area. you might want to check that out. search on meetup.com
  • the key point a lot of people miss is that the main problem with the SAD diet is not thats its cooked – its that the staples are flesh, dairy, grains, beans, refined sugar, refined oil. SAD is low in fiber and high in starch and coagulated fats/prot…
  • there were a few weeks when all the food was too salty because they changed from celtic sea salt to himalayan pink salt, which is much saltier. they fixed the recipes, so everything is good now. (my brother is the head chef for rawvolution in LA. i …
  • everyone goes through their bumps in the raw food transition. after so many times of eating something cooked and feeling like crap for 24 hours, you learn to not want those foods anymore. they begin to taste dead. there is NO USEFULNESS IN FEELING G…
  • when did that happen, annabelle? i kinda wish i could have a reality shifting experience like that without having to use mushrooms or LSD. i think tripping can be highly educational, but it still is based on chemical processes. i did have one out of…
  • wow, interesting story annabelle. didi you go anywhere when you had your out of body experience? i was also basically atheist until a year ago. now ive gone 180 and i believe that there is life after death, the soul is eternal, reincarnation is true…
  • according to some he was still doing cocaine recently. within the past few years. of course if you really do the research with an open mind, that is not unusual for any politician, let alone president. i still think he is going to be the president o…
  • dates have a very high glycotic rate. agave is lower on the index, but still not truly raw and growing agave cactus is rough on the land. most agave is grown for tequila. wild habitats have been destroyed for this. honey is by far the best sweetener…
  • matt monarch is no scientist
  • i wouldn’t be surprised if you had a mild celiac condition and bile occlusion (liver and gall stones) from eating all the soy and wheat while you were vegan/vegetarian. grains, starches can really wreak havoc on the digestive system. from my own exp…
