• That’s total bullshit that diet doesn’t have an effect. Read this thread I posted about this. The doctor I cite specializes in women’s cancers. http://www.goneraw.com/forums/3/topics/2978

• I use Epilady, calves and pits. No chemicals at all. Works great. Hurts like hell the first time, then after that it just kind of tickles. I do it about once every two weeks. I have a furry friend who does her arms, thighs, crotch, pits you name it.…

• The one I did yesterday was great: spinach, carrot, apple. Simple and easy. I used the leftover pulp to make crackers.

• Eggplant is edible. I’d say your best option is to thumb through the recipes on this site and you’ll be surprised to find out that most veggies are edible and yummy raw. I personally don’t like pumpkin/squash raw for it’s flavor, but that’s about it…

• I know from conversations with my local beekeeper that honey and pollen changes from season to season, rainfall, etc. It could also be the source that’s different. My favorite honey is chestnut, and that’s made when the tree comes into blossom, so I…

• Unfortunately I’m stuck with coconut oil I get at the Chinese shop. I only use it for skin sometimes (don’t really need much) and for making chocolate. There’s no way it’s extra virgin!

• Southernlover, I hear you when it comes to yoga. My last instructor spent half the session or more speaking about spiritual issues or even politics. Needless to say, I dumped him. I just wanted to work out my body! What about PACE? I’m not sure I bu…

• Another comment: I always use pineapple cores in smoothies as well as the stem (peel away the leaves and you’ll find the small walnut-sized stem – this is the part that contains the most bromelian).

• Here in Italy recycling is obligatory. One way to prevent waste is to make Pulp Crackers (http://www.goneraw.com/recipes/4126-Pulp-crackers). Another way is to take your own shopping bags from home (here you’re charged for shopping bags, so many loc…

• My Italian mother in law does this with her raw artichoke hearts: slice them super thin with a mandoline or meat slicer (that’s what she uses!), then soak them in water and lemon (or they’ll get dark), pat dry, then add walnuts, parmesan shavings (o…

• I hate getting up to pee at night, so I always stop drinking anything after 9pm. I don’t believe in hard fast rules, but thirst is a good indicator of when to drink. I don’t think drinking it all at once is good either – I’ve read that if you drink …

• Glass is no problem frozen, just make sure it’s dry and most of all that any fluid contained is not hot or even warm (or it will crack). And yes, fluids do expand on freezing.

• I only rinse my produce. Pregnant women here in Italy add baking soda to the soak water. I just soak the produce, then spin it. I get a lot of produce that’s still dirty/gritty, so it really needs rinsing. I believe anything more is excessive – we w…

• There are so many types of honey that you can’t judge it by its color or texture. Even from season to season they change based on the weather and geographical location. Get it where it says “raw” and buy it from a beekeeper.

• I’m too much of a social person to ever go 100%. Plus I live in a place where the food is wonderful and the people really love cooking, sharing and eating, so it would be a shame to deprive myself of that. Besides, I’m not an all-or-nothing type of …

• I went out and picked loads of dandelion, juiced maybe 4 cups of it, and ended up with the runs. It’s extremely cleasing and even has bit of a laxative effect, so don’t go overboard!! Now I mix it with other greens.
