• I often write stuff about Italy cuz that’s where I’ve been living for 10 years now and cuz I think people might find the different perspective interesting. When my husband was a boy, he always bobsledded on his birthday in November. Now there is nev…

• I believe the greatest evil of our time is not COOKED FOOD, but PROCESSED, INDUSTRIALIZED FOOD. Our forefathers not so long ago thrived on quite a lot of cooked food, but it was qualitatively far superior. The rawer we stay the better for most peopl…

• I consume honey collected from a local beekeeper. His hives are only 100 yards from my house and he’s totally ethical! I see no problem with this type of use, but then I’m not a vegan.

• I eat wild dandelion all the time. Once I juiced it and ended up on the toilet for hours – apparently it’s very detoxing. Since then I only juice a little and mix it with mainly other stuff. I prefer to eat it whole. Apart from that, I’ve never had …

• Thanks el-bo and mamamilk. What are your thoughts about the various liver/kidney/gallbladder cleanses? I’ve been tempted, but I find regular fasting (juice or water) more appealing. The so-called gallbladder stones sure seem like congealed oil, but …

• This is great info. I’ve been doing a lot of juice/water fasting lately, but mostly half-days or more. Sometimes a few days. What about Salt Water Flushing as opposed to doing an enema? Do you think occasional half-day, several day fasts are useful …

• The leaked study on biofuels from a few days ago blamed the current upsurge in food prices on biofuels. It said biofuels were 75% responsible for the upsurge, if I’m not mistaken. People are starving all over the world because of this. I saw people …

• My theory is to be as raw as you can AT HOME DURING THE WEEK, when it’s easier to control, then if you slip up on the weekend you’ve still already had 5 good days!

• I use the crystal stuff and it works most of the time, but whenever I fast or do the master cleanse LOOK OUT! I get really smelly. Part of the detox. Rank breath too.

• You probably could buy bottled coconut water, but it would be pasteurized, as is 99% of anything packaged. They have to preserve it somehow. I buy my coconuts from the local chinese shop. Brown furry ones are cheap, the young ones cost their weight …

• I wouldn’t consider plastic surgery right away. Wounds take time to heal, but after two years the color fades and you can barely see them. I have some gnarly scars I’ve actually grown to love – they’re like conversation pieces!

• Get her to eat a lot of avocado, coconut, and nuts. I’d avoid cacao if there’s a history of migranes as it can trigger them in some people. Make your own chocolate (this site is full of yummy recipes and you can order the cacao online). Good luck :)

• I believe sun exposure is FUNDAMENTAL to good health, that’s because our bodies make vitamine D from it. Clearly we were designed to be out in it. Moderation is the key. I’ve noticed that my skin is darker and doesn’t seem to burn now that I’m high …

• I’ve had trouble with hay-fever for 5 years now. It’s the only thing I’ve actually tested allergic to. I’ve cured it to about 95% by avoiding dairy (especially during hay-fever season) and generally keeping to a RAW diet (I’m close to 80% raw). Now …

• I’m on day 3 of my first juice feast. I only planned 3 days, since I’ve got friends over for dinner. It hasn’t been hard at all, but I’m really great with fasts – super motivated. Course that’s cuz I know I really need the detox. Good luck all!
