  • I notice my craving for salt changes with my mood. Does anyone else notice this or know the reason why? I just ate almost an entire bag of dulse in one sitting. I ended a seven year relationship a couple of days ago, so obviously I've been better. I…

  • I think it is fine - it just depends what sort of diet you are eating, as well as your particular level of tolerance. The cleaner you get, the less tolerance you will have for alcohol. Some people claim to feel somewhat intoxicated just smelling alc…
  • Hi Carnap - This happens to me too. Do you like salads? I find a big salad everyday keeps my appetite steady. You should calculate what you are getting nutrition-wise into one of those dietary calculators to see where/if you are lacking nutrient-wis…
  • Sort of a silly question, but what are you growing your wheatgrass in, Mishimoo? I have NO green thumb! :) I live in apartment with two cats, and I see you have a cat in your avatar: does your cat try to eat the wheatgrass? Is it okay for them to ea…

  • I am of a similar mind as RawLibrarian. You mention that in response to his look, you said something along the lines of, "What is wrong with with putting spinach in a fruit smoothie?" Even if this guy does think there is something "wrong" or weird a…

  • Hi Valgal123 - I sort of disagree with some of the comments about the amount of fats you are taking in. It sounds like your body wants the fats and you are giving them to yourself - stressed bodies want fat! I would maybe rethink some of the fat cho…
  • Troublesjustabut...or anyone else, would you mind sharing any knowledge you have, or referring me to any sources I could read about sun exposure, toxins and raw foods (personal experience counts also)? I've obsessionally used sunscreen since I was a…
  • i think chatanoog is spot on about plenty of green juice. you get a ton of nutrients in your system quickly, which helps curb the cravings that would develop otherwise. i'm sort of an all or nothing type of person, and i think aiming towards all or …
  • Hi greenacresmama - Just wanted to wish you good luck on your journey and let you know my prayers are with you! Many, many people believe they have cured their bodies through raw foods, and it sounds like you are coming from such a positive place, s…
  • This happened to me in the shower about two months ago too - only in the shower (just like other people have said). It didn't feel like there was anything wrong with my eyes, and it was actually a pretty positive experience. I don't think it is floa…
  • Just moved two days ago...all my food things beginning to resemble some order! Apple in the morning Big salad for lunch - kale, mixed greens, carrot, cucumber, dulse, tahini, lemon wedge, saurkraut, avocado, hemp seeds - A boatload of strawberries A…

  • It is so interesting to see what everyone eats daily - I hope we keep up this thread! Breakfast - Water! (not too hungry in the mornings typically) Lunch - three cups of green juice (cucumber, carrot, kale, celery and ginger) zucchini pasta with a r…

  • Hmm...sorry it didn't work for you Mila. The only thing that made a difference for mine other than MSM and lasers was this method I found online. If you are consistent with it, it really does work. It is called "The Stretchmark Cure." I think this C…
    in stretch marks... Comment by heloise
  • Hi! Okay...I felt compelled to find this thread again because I have noticed MAJOR improvement in my stretchmarks since taking MSM. It is ca-razy, and I am totally shocked! I also have been drinking a ton of green juice everyday, but I have been doi…

  • Hi superfood2 - could you recommend a good brand of b-12 in sublingual form? It's the one thing I am most concerned about - B-12 defiency. I do add nutritional yeast to my soups, but I don't think it is a great source of B-12 specifically?
  • Hi Waterbaby12347 - Thank you! Strangely, I haven't lost any weight eating raw. Maybe I've gained a few pounds actually, since I was pretty thin to start out with. So maybe I'll pick up some pumpkin and hemp seeds! I suppose I was worried about B-vi…
  • Welcome! I'm from the DC area...what part of Maryland are you from? Glad you are enjoying those green smoothies!
  • hey glamazon! i'd get the kelp noodles straight from the manufacturer - www.kelpnoodles.com . that is where i got mine; i ended up getting a case of them and am still going through mine. try juicing half a lemon and pouring them over the noodles whe…
  • Yikes JoannaBanana! Like Carnap, I can relate to some of your family's problems too. And your stepdad just staying out of it is still contributing to the problem. It doesn't sound like your mother respects your lifestyle (maybe even your opinion). B…
    in Anxiety Problems Comment by heloise
  • I'm really sorry to hear that about your sister. When families firmly believe that their child needs medication, it is *so* hard on the child; a child with anxiety depends upon their family for help and guidance. The fact that she has you is a very …

  • I am with you ladies in your late-20s / early 30s (that's me - nearly 29)! Having glowing, healthy skin is what I think we can all have into old-age even. I have always taken good care of my skin. I had a woman in church (a spiritualist church) tell…
  • The fact that you had a dream about your roomate and some sort of disagreement, and that you have just moved, seems like a stress thing. It would be natural to be stressed out after a move, and once you start to settle in after a couple days, I thin…
  • Castor oil is famously known to help eyebrows and eyelashes grow back. If you google it, you should find lots of info!
    in eyebrows Comment by heloise
  • Hi...I can't offer advice in terms of nutrition really (I was the opposite of raw when I began having issue with this), other than don't eat what I ate! What I did want to share though is that even with atrocious nutrition, I found certain body mass…
  • Shea butter is great for your lips because it naturally exfoliates, so you don't end up with dry flakes coming off of your lips in winter. I also use coconut oil...I'm one to talk - my lips are in bad shape right now! Maybe since it's winter try she…

  • Hi...I also just started drinking juices everyday and I love it! I had an old juicer lying around, but lately I have just been blending up vegetables in my blendtec and straining them through a fine mesh vegetable/spaghetti strainer. It works really…

  • internettourist - I mean this in the kindest way, but I do not think it is fair to say that people with bipolar disorder are their own worst enemies because they are "self-interested", "intensely focused on themselves" or "dramatic". I think a lot o…
  • Hi Carnap...I was going to respond to your post the other day actually, and I signed on and saw you responded to my old one. Yes, yes and YES - I definately relate to what you are saying! I couldn't sleep for three days before I started detox, and b…
  • Hi! So, I have a sort of odd question. Since going raw, my hand smells like yeast...like a bread product actually! But it is only my left hand. I sort went off-track for a couple of weeks, and the smell went away. when i had a strong detox, my left …
  • I believe the magnesium product Carrie6292 is referring to is "Natural Calm" (I also have the lemon-raspberry flavor!). I have anxiety issues, and this stuff has helped me more than any medication I ever took for anxiety - it's amazing. My doctor ex…
