• I’d add to get foraging. Get out into the hills and fields if you can. Nature’s bounty is free for the picking and there are loads of wild yummies now from berries to dandelion etc. Just make sure you know what you’re picking.

• I have bunions too, but since birth I think. Runs in my family. I really wanted to get them operated, but I’ve met a number of people who weren’t very happy with the results. Like me, their bunions didn’t hurt, but afte they got them removed their f…

• maihio, I started making crackers out of my leftover veggie pulp cuz I didn’t want to waste nor lose out on the phytonutrients. Type in “pulp” on the recipe bar and you’ll find loads of good recipes. See my cracker recipe: http://www.goneraw.com/rec…

• I am a great chocolate lover. I’ve read that it contains magnesium, something us women need in varying degrees during our monthly cycles, hence the cravings. Plus there’s that pleasurable effect that counteracts any menstrual discomfort. I’ve taken …

• The boost in sex drive might simply by a side effect of FEELING BETTER. Your body perceives the additional good health and sends the message: make babies! Too bad your man can’t enjoy this rapturous state you’re in! Shame it can’t be bottled and sav…

• Rotten. Unfortunately it happens to me too pretty often. Pisses me off to no end! What with the high price and the effort to open them, only to discover they’ve gone off! Don’t eat them if the color isn’t right. You can try tasting a little, but you…

  in Bad (red) coconut? Comment by Carmentina
• Chocolate, although it depends on the weather cuz since they contain coconut oil they don’t hold in warm weather. Raw Chocolate, the best recipe ever. I also like making berry/nut/coconut clusters with it.

• Ok so my sister, who’d never seen a ghost previously, was recently visited by strange events lasting about 2 weeks. A luminous white male figure, a hand on her, rapping on her nightstand. My mom, who had once seen a ghost when she was 22 and never s…

• My whole MC was wonderful and honestly I had no bad days, but I was really highly motivated as I needed to detox meds I’d been taking. You might want to seach the other MC threads on this website. One important thing is just to be prepared and not m…

• The beauty of this website for non-vegans is that it helps us understand why veganism is important and it brings us closer by educating us in a positive way. It’s becoming more and more important for me the longer I’ve been part of this site. Instea…

• Sorry to see no one’s replied yet. I’d be curious to see the answer. I’ve also had one operation with general. I look forward to any replies. :)

  in Anaesthesia? Comment by Carmentina
• Sometimes I put a drop of peppermint essential oil on my toothbrush along with baking soda. Works like a charm and gives fresh breath. The important thing is to change your toothbrush often – once bristles start spreading it’s worse than useless. My…

• Don’t know a thing about thermodynamics, but here in Italy, strangely in the seat of Catholicism, evolution is not considered a THEORY. Indeed it is taught as fact! And interestinly I haven’t read reports of the Church trying to change that either. …

• Back to the wisdom teeth! I was having major pain and my dentist told me I need them all out (even though I only had pain on the bottom) and he removed one. It was HELL. Truly. Athough it only lasted a week. It was so bad that I decided to keep the …

• Some days I eat nuts, but not more than a handful. My bloating has gone down anyway. I just hate it when it comes back and I can’t stand it when it comes!

• I got some ulcers when I was doing the Master Cleanse. Otherwise I seem to bring them on by chewing on the inside of my cheeks by mistake, but maybe there’s some other root cause I haven’t figured out. Saltwater garggling helps.

• Wow. A great read. I salute her courage in writing it. Food for thought. Thanks for posting.

• Just break it up and put it on a bowl or plate OVER a pot of warm/hot water. A double-boiler.

  in could i melt chocolate by? Comment by Carmentina
• If it doesn’t say raw then it probably isn’t. Besides, I’m not sure cacao will melt. It’s been defatted. It’s infinitly easier to work with cacao and coconut oil. Try it! Trust me it’s delicious….maybe I’ll go make some right now!

  in anyway to melt chocolate? Comment by Carmentina
• Chocolate melts at about body temperature, so that’s not a problem. The problem is that chocolate itself is not raw. There are loads of amazing, and I mean AMAZING chocolate recipes on this website using cacao. Good luck!

• Cool! I didn’t know you could do this. Hummmmm gotta try it. Thanks for the idea!

  in Cantaloupe Seed Milk??? Comment by Carmentina
• Coconut oil won’t hold at warm temperatures no matter how much you add. I would only recommend adding more “solid” ingredients like ground almonds. I often make something similar (although yours sounds infinitely better!) with leftover almond pulp f…

• I wouldn’t buy nuts already soaked and dehydrated, just cuz I don’t really trust any processing and how can I know if they didn’t “cook” the nuts dry? I suppose companies like this are aiming for the raw foodists with little time to spare and extra …

  in Rip off? Comment by Carmentina
• Strive for completing the week. Reach that milestone before you slip up. And remember, a lot of us aren’t 100%. I’m more like 75-80%. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing, but it would be awesome if you could complete the week. That way you could se…

  in FAD to Raw Comment by Carmentina
• In theory you’re oven is beyond the right temp, but there seems to be a bit of disagreement out there over what’s the right temp. I’d say the lower you stay the better. My oven actually allows me to keep the temp below 100°F. Try playing with it and…

  in Cookbook Names! Comment by Carmentina
• I might recommend going to your local library and browsing what they’ve got on stock and maybe having them procure something. That way you can browse them all, getting in a huge amount of info, then decide which is best for you. I personally only ha…
