• I don’t have this problem since my husband and I both hate perfumes. Lades and gents: please don’t slather anything on – it should be an intimate quantity! Nothing more rude than a person that stinks up an elevator with her perfume. Unless she stink…

• Every few uses I boil mine, but everyday I rinse it well and put it out on the balcony in the sunlight. The sun’s a great sterilizer.

• When I lived in Puerto Rico as a kid most people were too poor to have AC (me included) and it was never a problem. I went back two summers ago and people have more money now than when I lived there, so everyone had AC. Whenever it broke down or the…

• Zoe, I found a website that has some limited info on making your own make-up using minerals. See: http://www.makeyourowncosmetics.com/index.asp Good luck!

• Buckwheat groats are not to be confused with oat groats! Oat is most likely steamed and rather hard to find in the raw. All Buckwheat groats are raw (unless you buy them toasted) and will sprout. You can get them online from www.sproutpeople.com (an…

• Thank you artistmaj – my Mom has RA and I’m sure she’d be interested in knowing this.

• Coffee has always given me the jitters so I’ve never been a drinker. I’m a tea addict. I’ve been trying to cut down on caffiene and have been drinking chicory coffee which I get from the healthfood store. It’s caffeine free and tastes a lot like cof…

• I know a whole family that died from eating wild forage mushrooms, and they were supposedly “experts” and had been picking for years. I refuse to forage for mushrooms and won’t even let my “expert” friends show me cuz I just think it’s too risky. Th…

• Sorry, but I know loads of people who make their own fresh cheeses from raw milk. If you can’t give it up, why not try making it yourself? That way at least you know what’s in it!

• One of the best sites for info on sprouting is www.sproutpeople.com. Just type in the sprout you’re interested in, say “buckwheat” and it’ll give you specific instructions on how to do it. I just use glass jars. I’d start with buckwheat since it’s s…

• My Dad makes steel cut oats for breakfast often. He soaks them overnight so that they soften up and cooking time is faster. I would guess you could simply blend them up and eat them uncooked, although raw they aren’t. I still think they’re less proc…

• Motivation! And drink as much of the lemonade as necessary. When I did the MC I never paid attention to the recommended amount; I just drank whenever I felt it necessary. I never got hungry as a result and lasted 10 days no problem. I made lemonade …

• Here in Italy flax is exclusively consumed as a laxative! Psyllium also works great, but be careful you take it with plenty of water. I accidentally added to much to a fruit pudding and didn’t drink any water with it – a couple hours later I had bad…

• Anyone with a patch of land here in Italy cultivates it. One of my neighbors has planted the whole creek bank in front of our building and that land belongs to the State. I think it’s awesome. I hope to get a piece of land soon so I too can start ga…
