• thanks istorz- i appreciate your wisdom. it’s SO hard to see people you love engage in self-destructive behavior. it’s not the raw food necessarily either. you are right, i am still learning. but i hope that the decisions i make make me a healthier …

• oh, the best “moisturizer” isn’t one at all by the way. honey restores water back into the skin (not oil which makes the skin weak i read). use viscous or liquid (not hard) honey on you face. tap tap with fingers. it feels really good, like you are …

• since going raw i haven’t bought any “beauty products.” reading the thread on shampoo made me think about converting to water rinses. i use sea salt to brush my teeth mostly, and coconut butter rubbed into the gums as an anti-bacterial. what else? i…

• i had to buy an organic soap-based pesticide for my indoor citrus tree’s fly problem. i really wish i hadn’t had to… if you think you can stomach squirting flies to their death, then go to the local hardware store and ask for a similar product. mine…

• actually, this is in the ESSENE book in the bible i read when i looked up sprouted bread online. something like “do not cook your food or it will cook you, do not freeze your food or it will freeze you” if you wanted something cold, would it be ok t…

• hahah, the “sushi” is indeed a greek variation… for some reason i just LOVE dill. =) i guess i like making raw sushi, because anything pretty much goes (for me anyway… i have to be careful not to confuse others by calling it “sushi”... and sometimes…

• hey, a dolphin for sushi heh? i have not found a recipe for “rice” that was entirely like the real thing. i am not a substitution girl by nature, so i find i really like any phyo’s method: lay down a bed of dried off greens, some nut pate (or i REAL…

• why don’t you want to use a blender? if it’s because of the mess, have you tried blending some raw nut butter with filtered water. it’s not as messy. i suppose you could shake and shake and shake in a glass jar as an option. i think this would be a …

• scallions work REALLy well is a salad dressing too. i like them in salad even. the best part is that for some reason they are really easy to find organic. go figure.

• hey z- if the veggies and fruit aren’t filling you up you probably aren’t eating enough. it’s scary how much fruit and veg one can consume when one goes raw. my appetite has decreased slightly though, i think because i was used to an intake that was…

• kristensraw- this is totally off the topic, but last time we “talked” you gave me a recipe for making my own tahini. it ended up REALLY grainy. how much of it do you make at a time, because i think maybe i made too little. do you use a regular food …

• well, you can make some raw chocolate version of what you are talking about, but that would only be a band-aid solution. do you eat enough leafy greens and veggies? i find i crave sugar when i am not getting enough veggies… could be lack of protein.…

• i’m just guessing, so please correct me, but doesn’t distilling “filter” through heat, and filtration “filter” through minerals? i think of distilling as boiling water.
