• I had mine removed in Feb. from a very knowledgeable dentist. We sat down and had a good conversation about mercury toxicity, safe removals and the most bio-compatible composite fillings. I was not having any problems but was concerned about long te…

• I also use VEGA. I really like it. Just be aware that to get a full serving it's two HUGE scoops. It can get quite expensive apprx. $43 for a 7 day supply! But I continue to use it because I really enjoy the smoothie and the great nutrition it provi…

• dnacol, I hate to be the one to say this but if your having pain in your lower back plus UTI sx you really need to see your physician. It sounds like you may have pyelonephritis (kidney infection) or cystits (bladder infection) and the fact that the…

• Hey eskimowayne, I think the choice is (obviously) yours. When I first went from vegan to raw vegan about 3 yrs ago I also missed the taste of coffee. Esp. blended iced coffee drinks in the summer. The local coop here carries a brand of coffee calle…

• Joannabanana- I am munching on a bok choy salad right now! This is the first crop in a while from our organic farmer so I bought 8 heads! I LOVE bok choy! I just mix olive oil, nama shoyu and garlic in the vitamix and throw over the bok choy (I thin…

• I think Matt Amsdens Rawvolution is a great starter book. There are plenty of delicious soups , salads (the mock tuna salad and the eggless egg salad are sooo good), pies, and pastas that only require a blender and are pretty easy. This was my secon…

• I am in the same boat as RawKidChef. I've had my Vitamix for 2 years and I love it! I've used it to make plenty of "dry" dishes (like cheeses and desserts) with the wet blade since I dont have a food processor and it works fine. Ive never specifical…

• A good balance of omega3/omega 6 has really helped many of my patients with eczema. i would suggest 2 tbsp of flaxseed oil 2x/day. These oils have great anti-inflammatory properties.

• Shgadwa- You are very knowledgeable on many things. And I must agree that each person has to choose and do what they believe is best for their child. The one thing you may be confused about is how vaccines are made. When you talk about viruses rapid…

• jgfergus – i must respectfully disagree w/ your statement: “Vaccines do not cure or prevent anything.” This is completely false. Was smallpox not eliminated due to vaccination. YES- it was. And before that time the death rate for victims of smallpox…

• I think people knock coffee here a little bit too much. There has been plenty of literature lately to support the beneficial properties of coffee, especially that it is a powerful antioxidant. Personally- I don’t really drink coffee- it makes me qui…

• One thing to keep in mind is depending on what you’re eating your diet may be lacking in omega fatty acids (or have a poor ratio of omega 3: omega 6). This deficiency is common in vegan diets and can lead to dry skin and eczema. Try adding a few tbs…

• Hi Pamparred- I live in Gallup! We may be the only raw foodists in NM! Maybe we can meet up sometime when Im boarding at Angel Fire.

  in Where do you live? Comment by avocado_lover
• GALLUP (rural) NM- No other raw foodists around here (Im pretty sure I know just about everyone in town) and you can’t even get a veg option at 90% of the restaurants. But we are lucky to have a small coop and a farmer who is starting a CSA for this…
