• sometimes our systems are sick and we have to supplement them. we can use superfoods or greens or supplements or all of the above! i have 2 autoimmune diseases and was mis-diagnosed with fibromyalgia. try wheatgrass if you can.

• hurried eating is not so good for the system. don’t eat if you are not in the mood. relax and it will hopefully pass. i thought of one more thing, are the flax crackers ground flax or whole flax? whole flax is indigestible and you can’t get to any o…

• i am not really speaking from an 811 perspective, but i think buckwheat is a very healthy addition to a raw food diet. it is relatively high in protein but lower in fat than most other raw protein sources. i really like the stuff. plus, it’s cheap!

• what is best for me is not making the rules too strict. it’s more like, what i want to eat i will eat. but being really careful to not mistake the wrong cravings. the thing is the more raw i eat the more i want to eat more raw so i know i am on the …

  in Ovarian problems! Comment by bitt
• oh ouch i remember i had cysts awhile ago too. i made sure to have EFAs (flax, hemp, blue green algae). it eventually got better. yes dairy and gluten will lead to many bad health symptoms.

• CheeChee, I have similar issues. My husband is allergic to flax. You will see several hemp recipes if you click on my picture. Hemp is not necessarily a one-to-one substitute for flax. chia has the binding properties that flax has and is a bit cheap…
