• Hi Ms Derious and clr-1976, I to am in the uk, in the south, I won’t be able to come to any pot lucks or things like that but is always nice to know who the other uk raw fooders are on this site! I too find that a good way to make people happy with …

  in Raw Foodies in UK Comment by springleaf
• Hi MsDerious, how is it going? I am no way as raw and/or informed as other people on this site, but I can try. I have a very good health food shop near me that doesn’t open late enough in the evening for me to get to it, so I make one big trip about…

• I think normal mustard is just crushed mustard seeds with water to make a paste, I guess that if you got some mustard seeds ground them up in a spice grinder or coffee mill (my blender has a coffee mill attachment on it) then just mix into a paste w…

• I also have nutritional yeast, it isn’t raw but it is vegan. As you mention b12 supplements may also not be raw, but better to take a tiny supplement or NY than not go raw I think. I read some where recently an article that detailed a raw vegan man …

• I also agree with you that doctors like to ignore candida (and other problems like IBS) from what I can see it is mainly problems that they don’t understand that they fail to recognise!

  in cancer-fungus-mushrooms??? Comment by springleaf
• Ah ok I see what you mean, Yes cancer grows well in the presence of high levels of sugar and high sugar levels enable it to thrive, but I wouldn’t say high sugar levels cause cancer. Cancer requires the DNA of the cells to have mutated in such a way…

  in cancer-fungus-mushrooms??? Comment by springleaf
• Cancer is not a fungus! cancer is caused when the natural processes of cell growth to repair damaged tissues become damaged and a cell multiplies more than is should and causes cancer. When I did my BSc Biology they told us everyone in the world pro…

  in Soak pasturized almonds? Comment by springleaf
• The purpose of soaking nuts is to release the enzyme inhibitors that prevent them from germinating (growing) under unfavourable (ie a little but not enough water) conditions. As these inhibitors end up in the soak water you should definatly throw it…

  in Flax - how much is too much? Comment by springleaf
• I don’t really know an answer to this – just a thought. When we (I) eat flax crackers even two or three would be 3-4 tablespoons of flax seeds, so from that point of veiw you are probably fine… :-)

  in youre eating too much fruit! Comment by springleaf
• My feeling on the issue of people not responding well when you tell them that your are vegi/vegan/raw vegan is that they feel you are rejecting their food items and their gut reaction is that they feel rejected as a person because of this, (even tho…
