• Basil lime sorbet. The traditional way calls for simple syrup, so I'd think you could manage with whatever your favorite really-raw (IE not agave) sweeting option is. Dates maybe, pureed with the basil perhaps, then the date soak water added.

• Just for the record, to best absorb calcium and iron, unless they're found naturally together in the same food, they need to be taken apart from one another.

• Detox is valid, especially if raw is making you loose weight (aspertame for one is stored in fat), but do be sure to consider if you're eating something you didn't before that you may be allergic to. Also, if you have excezema eating raw is great fo…

• I go to potlucks often, and we have a heck of a mix of people. People bring something they can or will eat, and if other people’s also does they’ll try that too. It’s a fun place to hang out, not a food critique. If people ask, tell them. We have pe…

• Different people have different bodies. We are all so diverse that there isn’t just one universal standard. Everyone decides for themselves by the knowledge they have and their own instinct.

• Actually it’s carbs, because Seratonin is only produced during sleep and it’s made, short story, from carbs. Additionally, carbs are easier to digest, so that less energy is taken from body repair to digest. Your body repairs itself with amino acids…

• Several things… Bottled water is now required by law to be chlorinated for safety. Water that’s been “run through a softener” hasn’t “run through” it’s had chemicals added. That’s what those pellets are. That wasn’t my area, so I don’t know exactall…

• Is anyone familiar with the Sea Triangle ones? I’m curious about how much those packets make, along with the expansion factor. Are they very seaweedy? Also, is anyone familiar with making your own out of still just regular sea weed?

• When I went raw my eczema got worse. For various reasons, but the trigger was that on raw, I had begun each day with a fruit, and ate many tomatos, even dropping the tomatos didn’t help. I had to drop fruit too. I know it’s bad combining, but I can …

• I’m not sure it’s raw (although mine fermented, so it can’t be TOO unraw) but if you’re low on B vites or iron try floradix. It’s vegan iron supplement. I am very anemic, and have to take this around that time of the month or I… get the vapors? Ligh…

• An interesting point is that some seeds actually require being eaten to grow. They have coatings that are removed by digestive juices, and if they weren’t eaten they’d die off, with our help they can make new plants and also spread. But then, that w…

• My opinion: Go raw first and let your detox happen while on the meds still. Then decide. Detox is hard. I’m on antidepressants and detoxing, and due to my weight and resulting raw weightloss I’ll be detoxing a long time. I’ve taken a small reduction…

• Fruit late is not a good idea, it’ll sit on top of other things and ferment. I’m not a big combining stickler, but this has done worlds for me. If you are thin than you may not be overeating. Maybe you’re miscombining for your digestion and it’s cau…
