• I think it’s wonderful that we all seem so supportive and cheerful. Could it be the RAW? Doubt it…some other raw forums aren’t so cheery… :( The moderation here also seems to help. Good job!!

• My period also shortened by two days by going high raw. This was a good thing cuz it was rather heavy and I certainly didn’t need all that blood loss. Now whenever I have a bad spell (low raw) it tends to get heavier and pimples show up too.

• By the way, there are various types of cysts. Some are called “functional cysts” which are water-filled sacs and they come and go with the menstrual flow and ovulation. These can be drained in an out-patient procedure if necessary. Endometriosis cys…

• Ok, I did my one-day water fast and it was a breeze! I really want to do it more often. Debbie Took, are you out there? Could you answer my question above? I know the site was down for a while and hope you will check back to this thread you started.…

• It’s now 1pm and strangely still no hunger! I guess that’s cuz I’m high raw. Just a question here for debbietook: for detox purposes I’d like to water fast maybe even weekly, say every Monday. Do you think that would be effective and would it slow d…

• Does anyone know what effect water fasting has on hormones? I’m really interested in doing a water fast, but can’t this Saturday cuz I have friends over for dinner. Maybe next week.

• I googled “how to make a solar dehydrator” and this came up, although so did many others: http://www.motherearthnews.com/Do-It-Yourself/2…

• I’ve never had one but I have a friend who absolutely hated it. She’s definitely very uptight rather against alternative treatments, but I think she also had a colonic therapist who was rather rough. I’ve also read about people having problems when …

• Warm climate, all the way. I can’t stand the cold. My body seems repulsed by it. My skin longs for warm and sun and I too, seem to get browner and not burn unlike before.

• You can peel them by soaking them in water for a couple days (make sure you change the water daily). This skin comes right off, but you have to be a little patient! I don’t think it’s necessary to blanche them so long, I’ve read only a few seconds i…

• Simplyraw, I’d recommend you keep a food diary for your daughter so that you can keep track of whatever it is that’s causing such skin upset. It worries me that what can be seen on the skin is a reflexion of the insides, so it’s not just an issue of…

  in Healing acne Comment by Carmentina
• I overcame my acne, which was lifelong, simply by kicking out dairy, caffein, wheat, and cutting way down on meat (I’m not a vegetarian, but don’t eat much of it). After that I went mostly raw too, further improving my skin. It takes a few months of…

• Yes, they are edible. So are carrot tops. Google any veggie top you’re curious about – it’ll help save $$. Mix them into salads or use them in green smoothies or juice.

• I hit the Chianti region too recently. It’s so lovely. 10 years living in Italy hasn’t been long enough to see it all! Back to the cleanse, today doesn’t really count, but I had a green smoothie for breakfast and dinner, so I’m already off to a good…

• Hey there. Where did you go in Italy? I might go along with your cleanse, although not all meals.

• I usually just wash lettuce or other, air dry thoroughly, then put into paper towel lined glass tupperware. I rarely have things rot quickly this way.

• It seems great for making small amounts of things like sauces-that way there’s less wastage. Unless you’re a gadget man, I wouldn’t bother with all the other kitchen equipment you’ve got.

• I’d like to do something with herbs, but they’re really hard to come by here in Italy and I don’t want to spend a fortune on having something shipped that might not be delivered (the Italian postal service generally can’t be trusted!!).

• Lucy, could you give instructions on how it’s done? I’d appreciate it.

• I did one about two months ago and it was great. The hardest part was getting around social activities and making time for the SWF. Hunger wasn’t an issue!!
