  • I’ve seen raw honey in the healthfood store. It looks differently than heated “regular” honey. The one i’ve seen is lighter in color and it has a buttery substance, not liquid. I get mine from a local beekeeper. Try to search the internet maybe you …

  • I think the key is moderation as with everything else. I like raw honey and I get it from a local beekeeper. I use soaked dates and raisins for swetening. But lately I use them very sparingly. Don’t really care for agave or molasses. Everybody is di…

  • I’ve never been at Whole Foods. We have one close by, but never got the chance to go there. I go to the farmer’s market every Saturday and once a month to a small health food store. They have 20% off every first Tuesday of the month.
  • Thanks Kendra! RawVoice, do you shampoo your hair, or you are only using the Neem oil?

  • It’s so interesting to read your beauty routines! gives me great ideas. Kendra – I need to try the carrot juice, though I hate to deal with the juicer, washing it, cleaning up etc. Also I feel I’m waisting a lot of nutrients with the pulp. Or maybe …

  • I have to wash my hair every day. I have very thin, fine hair and gets very oily. I’d love to shampoo less, but I haven’t figured out how to make my hair last more than a day.

  • Mexican corn salsa is very good and easy to make. I made marinated and then dehydrated mushrooms too. Very tasty.
  • Hi goinghealthy. In my transitioning period I was prepairing meals constantly. My mind was revolving around all those wonderful recipes I wanted to try, and I spent a lot of time in the kitchen. Now, I am eating very simple. I don’t do juicing, I ha…

  • I agree with geespeen. I live in Florida now for 14 years and would not like to move back North. I do miss the mountains and maybe the fall colors, but I love the beach and the abundance of fresh fruits and veggies. In the winter it gets dark around…
  • It’s hard to put a percentage on this. Some weeks I am purely raw, on others I use some ingredients that are not raw. It depends on my schedule. If I travel a lot and go out for dinner with clients, than I eat a salad, but the dressing is obviously …

  • Congratulations! Keep up the good work! I wish my step father would do the same, but he is absolutely hopeless. He is on 9 different medication and takes medicine for the side effects, and those medicine’s side effects. It’s a vicious circle. Be pro…

  • Hey, I don’t know how you feel about vitamins and herbal teas, but they really do help. You should take zinc, about 100 mg per day. or food that are high in zinc. Vitamin C is important, so eat lots of fruit that have high Vitamin C. When you have a…

  • you can still loose weight if you follow some food combining rules. Eat fruits by themselves on empty stomach. Don’t eat starches with protein at the same time. There are lots of information on food combining on this site. also, you heard this befor…

  • Chakra-essence – enjoy your little kitten! I don’t know where you live, but in my area, Sarasota FL, there are several distributors for raw food for cats and dogs. It is frozen into small cubes and you just need to thaw. I put my cat on this diet. F…

  • Hi, I have two sons and I nursed them until they were 20- 22 months old. After that they drank soy milk. Now they are older, 11 and 7 years old, and don’t drink that much milk. But I agree with waterbaby – try to give them hemp milk. I think it is f…
