  • I’m interested in watching this movie. Where can I get it?

  • I take a bath almost evry night. I use epson salt too. It clears all your negative energy. Lavender is great for relaxing. I use Eucalyptus if I have a cold. Orange is great in the morning. I sometimes just pour a couple drops in the shower since I …
  • omshanti, your recipe sound really great. Thanks!

  • I used to eat raw brusselsprouts when I was preparing them for a vegetarian (cooked) dish. I always popped some in my mouth. They are good, a little bitter. I haven’t made a raw version yet, so I am curious what others have to say.

  • TreeOfLife: sorry about your job! But look at it this way: everything happens for a reason. We might don’t see it yet, but everyting will work out fine. You have a job lined up, which is great! I know, it is not pleasant when you have to go through …

  • I agree with you Karuna, the hardest part being raw is isolation. My family is very suportive and they eat much healthier since I started raw. But all the social engagements are really tough. If it’s a bufet, I am fine, nobody notices that I don’t e…

  • FINISH! It took me 14 years to finish my B.S degree, but I did it. And it was an increadible feeling to walk down the isle. I had my two children at the commencement and they were so proud of me. Having a college degree will help you along the way. …

  • I like the way you put it CanarsieBK: No banana trees next to apple trees…. it does make sense. where do mushrooms fit in? are they non starchy veggies? QT: I started to follow these principles and I do feel a little ‘deprived’. I guess I just have …
  • CanarsieBK: I wish I had clicked on the link you posted earlier. would’ve saved an hour for myself to do the chart. =)
  • Thanks el-bo! I went back to rawfoodexplained.com and I made a visual chart for myself. When I first browsed that site, all the rules seemed so overwhelming. Now, that I took the time and really read into it, it is more understandable.
  • I never use nama shoyu so I don’t know if it’s wheat free. In one of the forums Chris said that if you marinate mushrooms in olive oil, lemon, and different spices, than the liquid remaining after you remove the mushrooms will resemble braggs. It do…
  • Thank you so much QTLayla! I need to start food combining because I feel so sluggish. I am mostly raw, do not eat any cooked food, but some ingredients are not raw. like agave briggs, etc. Maybe I need to cut these out too.
  • also, I am not sure what are fatty proteins? Nuts? where do avocados fit in?
  • Hi QT, What do you do for food combining? (here I meant what examples do you have? Like avocados with what? or nuts with…?) I did read Fit for Life a very long time ago, and I do get the basic idea. But I get confused when certain fruits are acidic,…
  • El-bo posted in one of the forums a lot of links to food combining guide lines. I read them, but it made me more confused than before. I am curious to hear some suggestions too.
  • Thanks I’ll check those out. I work in a professional environment and I need to dress up every day, so I need to wear closed toe shoes but anything else than leather makes my feet sweat.

  • It is a hypocriacy, isn’t it? I got into a conversation with a “devout carnivore” about the reasons of beeing a vegan. (I didn’t tell him I was raw). And he looked at my shoes and asked me ok, so you feel sorry for the animals, what about your shoes…

  • I’m with Carmentina there because I don’t know much about thermodynamics either. (it does ring a bell though, but it’s been a while since I took chemistry and physiscs). I just finished the book Intelligent Design. It was written by one of the resea…
  • Just hang in there! It is probably caffeine withdrawal. I had the worst headache for 3-4 days.I cheated and took a motrin, becuase my family and even employees couldn’t take it anymore, I was so irratable. Try to ride it out. Being hungry is also no…
  • I love anise seeds! It;s a great breath freshener.

  • I started out with a cheapy blender from Target. I got a dehydrator a few months ago, I really missed the crunchy texture. But I am not using it as much as I thought I would. These are the only two things I have.

  • I was a coffee addict too. I drank one very very strong espresso shot in the morning and two-tree cappuccinos during the day. When I went raw I stopped drinking all together. I had withdrawal symptoms, you wouldnt believe! Migraine, muscle ache. For…

  • There is no way to compare freshly squeezed OJ to the one you buy at the store. I live couple miles away from Tropicana, and the smell of burnt orange and orange skin is absolutely awfull! Luckily I have a few orange trees and grapefruit trees and w…
  • Hi dorian don’t I live in Florida. I don’t plan either, just buy whatever is in season.
  • intersting topic! I was wondering too, how much other “rawists” spend on food a week? I go to the local farmer’s market every Saturday and spend about $40 on fruites and veggies. I spend about another $20 per week in the health food store. I’m the o…
  • Izhpt: drink many- many cups of Pau D’arco tea a day. that helps kill the fungi. It takes a very LOOONG time to get rid of it. I battled nail fungi and took 3-4 months to clear up my nails.

  • Strong sugar cravings might indicate fungi in your system. Do you have any problems with candida, or nail fungi? If so, you need to cut out sweets fruits for a while. Fungi strives on sugar.
