  in What do you do? Comment by pianissima
• p.s. if you are going to eat cooked foods, i’d make it something to absorb the acid in your stomach… a healthy grain like quinoa, or a whole grain (yeast free) bread.

  in need to gain weight Comment by pianissima
• i think you just may have gone too quickly raw. natalia rose’s books explain how to eat clean, high life force energy foods, eating a lot of raw foods, but using healthy cooked foods as a sort of “brake pedal” to detox. i also think that you might w…

• zooey glass- haha! i recently read someone post that chewing parsley relieves bad breath. i would think you could get some liquid pure mint or something that you could just drop on your tongue… but this may be a business i need to go into. i’d brows…

• i’d go to barnes and noble or one of those awful book chains and read both cover to cover (or at least skim) and decide for yourself. then you can either keep going back to jot down recipes, get your library to order it (they might even have it!), o…

• there’s also cabbage juice (natural acidophilous), or ginger juice in water that might work. hope you feel better.

  in Rejuvelac Comment by pianissima
• wow. i don’t get rejuvelac AT ALL. i have tried making it several times, naively thinking the “next time would be better.” couldn’t stomach it. it doesn’t make sense to me that you would want to eat/drink something that smells bad. if you’re bent on…

• joyceH- that’s a great list of unecessaries. i can also to fine without superfoods. jenerygy- YES! this is a long term investment. save now pay later. also, how many people do you know that waste good money on empty foods and soft drinks. remember t…

  in Choosing Organic Comment by pianissima
• i don’t live near a year-round farmer’s market unfortunately. as it is, i think the commercial organic business also has it’s downfalls (“grown in mexico” isn’t exactly lowering my carbon footprint) and i’m always aware of that when i go to whole fo…

  in Choosing Organic Comment by pianissima
• i had a conversation with an organic gardener who REALLY knew his stuff. he said corn isn’t sprayed with pesticides (because it’s pest-resistant), but that it has fungus problems and is sprayed with A LOT of fungicides. there are also herbicides to …

• oh that’s so great! sharing food is the best.

• BARF? acronym for what exactly?

  in BARF diet for animals Comment by pianissima
• hmmm… beets me. i don’t see why we cantalope. bean there done that. berry awesome. alisonwonderful- cute =) it’s also occurred to me that we have many negative phrases for animals, like being “chicken”, having “beef” with someone, being a “turkey,” …

• pod casts? no. i didn’t know there were any… he has a few videos from lectures up on youtube though, which i enjoyed watching. it’s such a weird subject to “talk” about since it kind of defeats the purpose (or my understanding of it) right? i felt t…

  in Ruling Your World Comment by pianissima
• p.s. i’m assuming the book is called ruling your world, right?

  in Ruling Your World Comment by pianissima
• amysue- oh YES. i read “the new earth” first but “the power of now” REALLY clarifies a lot of the what he talking about in “the new earth” (probably because it’s better to read them sequentially, but i didn’t know that…)

  in Ruling Your World Comment by pianissima
• oh, i’ll pick that one up. i just finished “the power of now” which was like nothing i’ve ever read. if we’re sharing books here (which it seems like we are?) i’d also recommend “the last hours of ancient sunlight” (a much needed cultural assessment…

  in Ruling Your World Comment by pianissima
• i REALLY wouldn’t worry too too much about the nutrient content of your food. raw foods contain a spectrum of nutrient such that if you are eating a varied diet you should be getting all you need. (hint: you don’t need that much, you just need to no…

  in What's YOUR Mantra? Comment by pianissima

  in What's YOUR Mantra? Comment by pianissima
• rawclaire- nice. i’ve been keeping some “spare” coconut meats in the freezer. can you make this without an ice cream maker?

  in Raw Ice Cream Ideas?? Comment by pianissima
• i love making burgers from greens pulp personally. and i read you use the blender method, so you’ll have nice dry greens to use. any “pulp” will do for burgers just make sure you don’t use yucky flavor combos… you don’t even have to use pulp, you co…

• oh i just got it. naggage. right… =)

  in Moody? Comment by pianissima
• oh no judgement, just curious. =) vice away! that’s interesting. i read the reason caffeine makes us energized is that the body tries to release it quickly to get it out of the system… so maybe if you are running, it’s like a cheering squad telling …

  in Moody? Comment by pianissima
• why would runners need espresso? (in the sense of coffee, not speed)

  in Moody? Comment by pianissima
• i think it’s just a question of bulk. as you get more into this you’ll require less food. it’s REALLY hard, as standard measures of “enough” are a little out of whack. it does sound like you could get more calories during the day. not that you NEED …

  in Eating at night... Comment by pianissima
• it’s so hard to say what works. i used them for a stomach ache and i got over it. was it the enzymes, the acidophilous, or just time?

  in Digestive enzymes Comment by pianissima
• my asian market sells freshly made one in jars. they are SO SO much more reasonably priced than the rather old looking ones in the asia section of health food stores (at least in my area, since no one buys them!)

  in ume plums Comment by pianissima
• why wouldn’t it be raw? it’s just cured fruit i think… i use two or three on a nori roll plate, grate some daikon radish and place some homemade “pickled” ginger… call it japanese night.

  in ume plums Comment by pianissima
• young coconuts are the ones you get in asian markets. they look like they have pyramid hats and they are completely white (the coconut is underneath). you can’t hear anything when you shake it, but it is FULL to the brim with water. delicious water.…
