  • I learned early on that even though they are all veggies, to pay attention to the food combining rules. One of my favorite salads is the leaves and stems of bok choy and beet greens, chiffonade or shred the leaves, finely chop the stems, cilantro, g…
  • GT’s Gingerade is my fave, then Gingerberry and mango. I tried every flavor, but cranberry I think. Yeah it grows on ya, it took me two days to finish my first bottle, and I felt a little like I had been drinking. Then I decided to just drink it bec…
  • The more I learn on this subject and applying it to me, the more convinced I am that I should not be all raw yet, but have a hard time going back. It is and should be real concern for those of us treating serious disease, and especially if living in…
  • Wow, I just checked in after a few days, so much feedback. I’m at the end of my online time, so I can’t get in too deep. sillydog~some of thet fits me, some doesn’t. I have always loved and eaten fish, not the breaded deep fried cod, but salmon, tr…
  • I just have to jump in here. RA is just not the same as arthritis, in that it is definately an overactive immune response that can be triggered by so many other things. In my case, about a decade of inuries, unrelenting chronic pain, physical and em…
  • I believe the homeopathic remedy from the HFS is by Similisan,and I’m told it works. Surprisingly, I have never had pink eye myself. My children had it frequently when they were young; and as it is highly contagious, several families usually share i…

  • I did it and need to move into a bigger binder. I started with recipes pretty much from here, because they print out so great. I even copeid the recipe I took to a meetup potluck. I used page protectors that I had already, and put two in a page. The…
  • What to use then? I do use garlic, ginger, cilantro, and lemon,so I get alot of flavor. But I am using up that sort of stuff, a little at a time, just because I have it. Braggs is salty, and I don’t like the flavor as much as tamari, which I have us…
  • 123~ How much seaweed do I need to bind with it? Well, I had a reaction over the weekend, and I have always consumed handfuls of cilantro. Within hours after eating my soup my jaw joint was so painful to even open my mouth, it lasted another day and…
  • One more thing, that’s all I need is one more thing to deal with. I have finally decided to go for the whole blood panel, to see if what is going on with me is yet one more thing, like thyroid or possibly adrenal exhaustion. I only read the first fe…

    in Warming food??? Comment by rawrawraw
  • Ann Wigmore recommends placing the bowl in a pan of hot water so the food is not in contact with the heat source. Good idea! I tend to overheat the soup if it is directly in the pan. I have been preheating a heavy soup bowl with boiling hot water. E…

  • Mopoke~ yes, I have always called them Norfolk Island Pines. I have grown several from teeny little 4” pots until they were too big for my space, and had to sell or give them away. My husband alnost never gets over me giving away a certain plant, es…
  • Oh well, I just lost my poetic post about my mountain top, and tree love. The smell of mountain mint around the alpine lakes and streams, and waterfalls, the pungent scent of golden quaking Aspen in the fall, and then the electricity, I hav efelt th…
  • Is Maca a stimulant or just an adaptogen? Do you need to start the day with it, or could you have it with maybe a mashed banana before bed? How much, how often is it recommended. I have it, I tried it, just can’t get into it, though I definately nee…
  • Where did everybody go? I was really enjoying this discussion, and really working on this concept applying to my raw diet. I have cut way back on avocados, always, warming food, adding more spices, started drinking herb teas again. I am going to try…
  • artistruth I am just now getting into a bit of understanding yin and yang. I really had no clue when I started going for acupuncture last Spring, he also had me on chinese herbs. I went for 7 treatments, with the only result being an autoimmune dise…
  • 123 and Bluedolphin-yeah it is quite laughable. There are some: like the Blood type that have no science behind it. There are still many others that may not have the Western science behind, but really seem so tangible and applicable, that you don’t …
  • rawpease and sweetpea; thank you for the tips. I am trying to figure this all out. rp, what you said about compromising the immune system and using summer to recuperate really hit home. I started raw for help with a serious auto-immune issue, and re…
  • Sweetpea, thank you for your insight, I gues maybe you mentioned the avocados somewhere else, which I eat daily. Though I eat alot of winter storage type roots in my pureed soup,but also onion and garlic, I don’t really want to eat fruit or salad, a…
  • On eating/juicing the rib, I still do both. I do process the whole leaf very finely with garlic and add avocado, making an almost pesto, and I feed the base of the stem into the juicer first.
  • Yes, finger in tact. I cut the index finger of the hand holding the knife.Don’t know how I did it.
  • I was, just didn’t switch knives after cutting up a Big butternut squash, with my new knife ( it cut through like butter instead of butternut, so in love with the Anolon knives), and I didn’t feel like cleaning the cutting board yet. Wrong knife, wr…
  • HOW NOT TO DO IT! DO NOT HOLD UP FROM CUTTING BOARD, AND STARTING AT THE THICK END (BASE), DO NOT CUT WITH LARGE SANTOKU KNIFE DOWNWARD TO LEAFIER PART, SLICING INSIDE THE RIGHT INDEX FINGER, NEXT TO NAIL. JUST TRIED THIS TONIGHT, TYPING W/O RIGHT …
  • Hey Lexilu292. Are you still looking? I tested the bullet, great little tool, you can get a nice package at Costco for $50. It does do alot, I just don’t like that how it loads and screws on the bottom. But food processors, I have one, that I would …
  • I can’t remember why, but it seems like I have always known about nightshades and arthritis. I have limited them for years, but held onto my peppers til the end, still eating jalapenos once in awhile, I am a chile head. I really miss the flavors and…

  • Menopause girls. If it is meno “pause” where is the stop button. I don’t even know where I am in the game at 48+. But, no hysterectomy, not many hot flashes, no night sweats, regular/ but shorter and diffeerent cycles,when I do have a hot flash, I’m…
  • Is it really okay to talk about non-vegan food here?

  • One of my favorite breakfast for awhile was sliced apples, almond butter, frozen blueberries, and ground flax seed, all stirred up, could even add brewers yeast. But about the grinding/ soaking of the seed, someone here soaks the seed, dehydrates th…
  • I just posted my own favorite salad on the Christmas salad? thread. See if it might work for you.
