  • What about seaweed and kelp? The iodine might help the thyroid function too
    in Goitrogens Comment by newbie
  • Your set-up looks great! You make it look so simple. ;-) I make rejuvelac. Is Kombucha similar? What are the benefits and how do you make it?
  • The Sea Tangle’s FAQ page states: “Why are the Kelp Noodles clear and not green? When the outer skin of kelp is removed, the inner portion of the kelp actually looks just like our noodles. Try it out!” I’m just wondering how much nutrition is taken …
    in Kelp Noodles Comment by newbie
  • In comparing the noodles from the site that Zoe posted and the Sea Tangle site, I noticed that the ones that Zoe gets are dark green. By stripping away the outer green part, don’t we lose out on getting chlorophyll? I know it’s good for us. It also …

  • Thanks for the tips and leads. I will have to hunt around for some or order a case (agh, storage space!) ;-)

  • also, try eating more simple mono-meals. much of what you listed above as your typical meals includes combining many ingredients to make curry, pad thai, etc. try just eating fruit for breakfast, green smoothie for lunch, then simple salad with juic…

  • frozen banana is good (but you have to watch for any chunks that he might knaw off as a potential choking hazard if it’s too frozen) and also just a cold, damp cloth. hope this helps – good luck!
  • where do you all order from? (best sources)
  • thanks for the link! all of the females in my family have thinning hair as we age. I wonder if it’s dietary or hereditary. I hope there’s something I can do to grow thicker hair again… The width of my ponitail (I have all one-length hair with no ban…
  • sorry for asking a stupid question, but what is MSM?
  • There are lots of smoothies you can make without nuts. Also, if you decide to try seeds, some great ones with super high nutritional value are chia, hemp, flax, and sesame. The same amount of chia seed has 5 x more calcium than milk! I’m not a huge …

  • I’ve been corresponding with my supplier on-line that is based out of Berkeley, CA and they said that they will continue to have alive, raw organic almonds and almond butter after Sep.1, but their supplies will be more limited. They said that they c…
  • My husband is a meat-and-potatoes guy. He doesn’t touch salad and most veggies, unless they are cooked to a fare-thee-well. BUT (alas!) he tried my green smoothies and loves them!! I make them by the half gallon and he drinks half. He said that he f…

  • it’s also horrible for the environment once you drain the tub. i’ve read that bathing in warm/hot polluted water (what most people have as their normal water) is not healthy b/c your pores open and absorb more of the pollutants/chemicals in the wate…
    in CHLOROX BATH!?!1!? Comment by newbie
  • For me, after my son was born, I had a deep case of the ‘blues’. I too am alone (without friends/family) nearby and this probably contributed to the blues. What greatly helped was going for a walk everyday in the sunshine. I could really see a diffe…
  • dancharming – since you’ve been raw for so long, can you tell us (me) what you eat in a typical day to make sure that you balance protein, calcium, etc. What does your typical daily menu consist of? What is sungazing? Also, I have a 3 yr old son and…
  • for flour ideas, in one of the other threads I read that someone makes flour from dehyrated almond meal (leftover from making almond milk). You grind it to a powder once it’s dry. Definitely worth a try!
    in Is Yeast Raw? Comment by newbie
  • you’re an inspiration. thanks for offering your assistance. :-)
  • here too
    in Slow loading site? Comment by newbie
  • yeah!! btw, I mentioned in another thread, but don’t think you saw it. I met someone this weekend who organizes the Richmond Raw Food Meetup. You can see more at: rawfood.meetup.com/231/ Should be a good resource.

  • zoe, for that day, do you drink any water or do you fast entirely? thanks!
  • Lucy, My batch of rejuvulac has just finished fermenting. I let it go 2 days. However, it tastes slightly sour and there is a slight ‘yuck’ factor. Did I let it go too long? How can I tell if it’s rancid? Should I ignore the ‘yuck’ and drink it anyw…
    in Rejuvulac Comment by newbie
  • Thanks! Also, I used the sprouted grain method. Not sure if it makes a difference, but it seemed to me that sprouted would be healthier.
    in Rejuvulac Comment by newbie
  • I’m in the process of making my first batch. What can be done with the leftover grains after the rejuvelac is made?
    in Rejuvulac Comment by newbie
  • Thanks for your responses. I want to be 100% raw!
  • stylistchick, I actually met someone who introduced me to the Richmond Raw Food Meetup. They have a monthly potluck, food prep classes, and the like. Their site is: rawfood.meetup.com/231/ Looks like a good resource
  • I was really grossed out by the parasite talk, so I ordered a cleanse and recieved it today from HUMAWORM. I plan to begin taking the regiment this evening (2 capsules every 12 hours, at least 1/2 hr. before meals). I’ll post any happenings here for…
