  • mandelicious, I was thinking the same thing…total salesman and not impressed with the book thus far.

  • Thanks queenfluff. I was mostly wondering about MSM. Yes I want to use it for my skin (I too have small acne scars), hair, sore muscles after workout, etc. I was curious about it though because I am definitely one to eat foods in place of taking sup…

  • Thanks valeria and amysue. I will check out Davids videos. Honegal, amysue brings up an interesting point though when I detoxed and still do, I do not look ill. I may feel ill or feel tired, but that’s it. How long have you been raw?

  • To be honest, the book is not what I expected. I thought it would be a little more “guidance” oriented, a little more “this is it now follow it with modification if necessary.” I know everyone responds differently to being raw and he stresses that b…

  • Cold pressed olive oil is healthiest if uncooked! Once it is heated it loses it’s healthy properties because it changes structure and it does not go back to its original form once it has cooled. Cooked olive oil is basically unhealthy. Raw Organic C…
  • I had a cruciferous issue not too long ago. Actually the posters on this forum helped me figure it out. Kale was the culprite. I just weaned off and slowly re-introduced it. Worked like a charm.
  • Don’t know any raw foodies. Have a few vegetarian friends but no vegans.
  • Yes, went through detox and yes it feels like you are getting the flu. My body ached, I had the chills and just felt run down. Didn’t have any other symptoms though. Since I am around 80% raw, any time I bump up to 100% raw even if it’s only for a w…
    in how was it for you... Comment by JD
  • Actually thank you because I have a dental appointment coming up and you just shed light into a new area for me. Holistic Dentistry! If it turned out I needed a filling I was already going to opt out of mercury but if there are other beneficial dent…

  • Perhaps these sites can help you locate a holistic dentist in your area and you can talk to them about alternatives. http://www.holisticdental.org/mem_search1.php http://www.greenpeople.org/HolisticDentistry.html

    in organic? Comment by JD
  • That sounds totally fun.
  • Oh my, I had to delete the dressing I posted. Not only did I suggest non raw Nama Shoyu but I added honey to boot. Ok, so the honey was raw but eeek, SOOO sorry dear Vegans. Talk about voilating my fellow forum friends :( Please accept my apology. I…
    in Raw Dressings? Comment by JD
  • I hear all of you. This is one of the most annoying things ever. Just had a conversation about this with my boyfriend last night. I don’t bother telling people what I eat because they ask a million questions and it’s much easier to say I’m a vegetar…
  • Alex1962, since when did Wyeth market Premarin as birth control? As far as I know it is only for menopause. Honeywater, I’m actually on the pill and would not go off at all. For as long as I can remember, my cycle has been a nightmare. I never went …

  • You are totally not alone on this one. I’ve had the same thing happen to me and it’s always been right before lunch and at dinner time. Like LimeLady, I too have forced myself to eat because I didn’t want to lose out on nutrition but I really don’t …
    in Loss of appetite? Comment by JD
  • Thanks sgmom2 and kminty3. I might do this in one month when I switch to my month 2 workout regime. I recently started a 3 month programme so it might be good to do this before I start month 2.
  • I read as much as I could in this thread so sorry if I’m asking a question that was covered. I also have not read the book so I don’t know if this was covered in there either. Basically, in the morning I hit the gym 6 days a week for weight lifting.…
  • heartshapedsky- David Wolfe has an entire book dedicated to chocolate called Naked Chocolate. I have not read it but it has recieved great reviews.

  • KurdishMom0607, excellent for you. Someone had recommended this book to me and I was just about to order it but then decided to get one by David Wolfe. I will totally get the book though seeing how people are so interested in it. I look forward to r…
    in Green for life Comment by JD
  • I just wanted to say thanks again to everyone for all of your help. Turns out it was a (cruciferous) kale overload issue. My oh my was that bad. I stopped drinking my green lemonade for a couple days and then used cucumber instead of kale and my sys…
    in Crazy Stomach Issues!!! Comment by JD
  • Thank you everyone. I can see I am not alone with this problem. All of your responses have encouraged me to stay on track and try some adjustments. Sounds like my body is just trying to adapt to my new eating habbits and having a bit of a horrific t…

  • Thanks Marysia. This information is totally new to me. I started looking into it and perhaps the whole pH balance might help me.
    in Crazy Stomach Issues!!! Comment by JD
  • Thank you for your response Marysia. You are right, it’s not miscombining of foods and if I ever miscombine I make sure it is the last meal of the day so my stomach has a full night to digest it (this is not often enough to be the problem. In fact i…

  • Bkhand40, have you read both books? Is the second a reiteration of the first? If you don’t mind, how is it different from the other book?
  • Well I would have to say mixing nuts with avocados is a no-no! Mixing fruit with avocado however might have a little flexibility. There is a section on food combining at rawfoodexplained.com (see link below). If you look at section 4.4 Fats in Combi…
  • kathrynintheraw and Junebelle- thank you for the information. I live in Nyack which is about 20 minutes outside NYC…Junebelle might know the area (Rockland County). I am in Manhattan quite often so I will definitely check out the store.
    in Who still drinks tea??? Comment by JD
  • I hope this doesn’s sound silly but where do you get tea leaves. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them in a store before.
