• Naturally, I second what angie said – her and I have been talking a lot about this subject. I understand that you’re tired of this country – me too, I’m so frusterated I can’t begin to put it into words. I understand your challenges. I’ll throw some…

• I don’t understand. You’re willing to use blue clay but not dr. bronners? why don’t you want to use disinfectant? didn’t mean to come off as ornery, tomsmom, i’m just worried for folks who think they can use avoid gum disease with water.

• TomsMom – She certainly had gum disease due to not being able to brush around the braces. It wasn’t ‘something else’ – lack of brushing WILL cause periodontal disease. It affects you for life. She had to have another tooth pulled last week because o…

  in toothpaste? Comment by Winona
• One thing to think about is … do we need to disinfect our teeth? Quite likely. I use dr. bronners. Put a couple drops of Dr. bronners into 1 Tbsp water, add a drop of lavender essential oil (optional, it’s good flavor) and dip your toothbrush in and…

• What a lovely choice of dinner! Way to go – bringing raw to everyone’s dinner table. I bet that will help put a positive spin on raw. Good for you!!

• haha kirsten, cats milk. I see milk the same way – it’s totally gross to me. If you get milk, at least get it from cows who are grass fed. I study animal health and nutrition, and purchasing products from factory farming should be avoided by everyon…

• That may be the case, rawnora, but I’m of the opinion that any raw diet is better than a cooked diet. I drink raw wine, I eat fruits and vegetables and greens and nuts in whatever quantities I want. There are an infinite number of opinions, Wailingw…

• Everyone’s cool Joyce. I’ll take this moment to stress that we’re all okay with folks eating whatever they like. It’s fine with me if people eat meat. However, we personally choose to not eat meat – we are not judging the choices of others.

  in Cooking with olive oil Comment by Winona
• Good point angie. We have to do what works for our own bodies. If at some point I feel that cooked starches worked for my body, I will eat them.

  in Bye bye 100% raw vegan Comment by Winona
• Bummer! You can try making apple pie instead, using the cinnamon and coconut oil maybe? Or a recipe from this site? And dehydrate to warm it up.

  in Creating raw recipes in my dreams =) Comment by Winona
• Well, that explains it – I’m paying $2 PER PIECE OF FRUIT or $4 per pound and some folks are paying $1 per pound. Plus your CSA provides you with enough produce – i’m part of one, but we don’t get NEARLY enough for the week.

• Much luck! Take excellent care of yourself and eat plenty of produce and greens – you should build up your strength before the operation. Rest a LOT too.

  in I got the all clear Comment by Winona
• meeghan – I think the important thing to remember is to relax, enjoy, try new recipes. Raw will come to you. It’s fun, it’s easy, many of us at goneraw enjoy it immensely. It’s less of a challenge than a simple change.
