• I used a neti pot when I started having trouble with my ears. They were really clogged after having flu/cold and would not clear…a year later! The neti pot definitely helps..although I have to admit has not completely alleviated the problem. I would…

• I have always heard that you should only mix leafy greens with fruit. And don’t mix melon with anything. My husband is on a smoothie juice fast and he mixed watermelon with tomatoes…he’s not feeling so great right now (plus that just sounds disgusti…

• I always get a stomach ache if I combine melon with anything else. I have to wait AT LEAST 30 minutes. Even if you are still hungry, it is usually worth waiting before introducing anything different than melon. I would love to mix melon in my smooth…

• How long have you been raw? I know that people who are relatively new to eating raw foods experience hunger in the beginning because their body loves and NEEDS the nutrients, therefore craving more. When my hunger is not satisfied, I eat a bowl of r…

• I quit eating anything containing peanuts after reading The China Study. According to the book, peanuts contain aflatoxin which is a carcinogenic mold. I have heard that you can grow peanuts that do not contain aflatoxin, but I do not believe that t…

• does anyone use natural cleaners? I just signed up with Melaleuca, but am wondering if this is the best option. They use Tea Tree in everything and do not disclose their full ingredient list. What do you guys use to clean your home?

• Sounds like you are doing more than most people do! A high raw diet and skin brushing are awesome in keeping glowing skin. Do you brush your feet? The bottoms of your feet have the largest pores, so it is very good to do this often. My mom actually …

• Jenny, I am so glad to hear that you are not having the stomach problems anymore! Before going raw, if I woke up feeling sick I would eat a bannana to make myself feel better and it would work! Now I just eat them because I love them so much. Like m…

• I became a vegetarian when I was 11 and broke down and had a burger when I was 16. I got so sick! I am very glad though because 18 years later I have NEVER touched the stuff. Sorry you had to get sick, but maybe it is a good thing! Just remember how…

• That sounds awesome! And is raw if the groats and cocoa were raw. Did you put it all in a food processor or just mix it together? I have been a total bottomless pit today for some reason. Wish I had all the ingredients for this. I have resorted to e…

• This will probably sound crazy to many of you, but I have a friend who said you can use the 60watt bulb from your oven. It will take approx twice as long to dehydrate. Has anyone tried this??? My oven feels awfully cold even with the light on. Here …

• When I travel raw, I soak and dehydrate nuts and mix with dried fruits. I also make my own bars (by processing nuts, dried fruits, and buckwheat groats; then dehydrating.) I haven’t had a problem getting them through, but you are definitely taking t…

  in Who still drinks tea??? Comment by Sedona
• Has anyone tried making loose tea in the sun? Just wondering if this would technically still be raw tea (providing the leaves were not heavily processed). I love green tea, but have recently heard that it blocks your ability to absorb folic acid. An…

• Very good questions!! I would GUESS that both answers depend on your level of activity and what your body is ‘telling’ you. I have heard that the more raw you are, the less sleep you find that you need…don’t know if this is true, but since upping my…
