  • My skin and stomache noticed a definite difference. I LOVE aloe. At the moment I am giving my plants a rest. I kept picking off them :P. Most people filet-cut it/cut off the green and eat the gelatinous insides. I grind the whole thing up in smoothi…

  • the first time I ever did a cleanse, I had pains. But I think it had to do with my liver etc. Organs in that general area producing bile and/or getting rid of stones etc. General cleansing. Drink lots and lots of water. And if you fast allows, apple…
  • Wean off of them(slowly, they can be dangerous). 100% raw cured my longterm (all my life!) BAD depression. I was really on the brink before raw. The only time I have REALLY mild relapses, is after eating naughty. Even then, I can handle it. I am so …
  • Ugh, I have had cravings for every food I have ever eaten! Even if it was disgusting and I despised it! ew and mmm. :( And I know It’s just detox symptoms, but I REALLY REALLY want scones and tea. Oh my. I need to speed this up, or grow some patienc…
  • Oops I forgot it was May. All I had was a blended mango and green powder though. I think I’ll start juicing next meal and move on. My produce isn’t going to last so I’ll juice fresh and use my powders on and off. Not ideal, but it’ll do. I think I’m…
  • I think I will. I want to say “I will!”, but it all depends on budget. If my budget is low I may supplement with a tablespoon or so of green powders. Are you doing fruit juice feasting, green juice feasting or both? Sorry if you stated that in the a…
  • I didn’t read all the posts because I need to do some things in a bit, but I just wanted to say: Look at chickens. Free range chickens stop pecking eachother’s feathers out, and are happier. I think over populatin and cities are the cause of alot of…
  • I have weak teeth. That’s where the greens come in. Not only from their fibers brushing my teeth, but the vitamin and mineral content, my teeth feel much stronger than they used to be and whiter. I am going to quit brushing with a toothbrush, chew v…

  • The break-out is a good sign! You’re detoxing! Hoorah! If you want it over faster, eat colon-cleaning foods. the sooner you get the nasty out, the less comes out your pores. I also reccommend sweating and bathing immediately after. Alot. The sweat o…
  • I don’t think it’s all presentation and the fact that raw makes you FEEL “GREAT!”. After about 3 days raw my skin DID “glow”. It seemed really healthy, smaller pores, moist and firm. It depends on each person how long it takes. Due to budget I can’t…
  • I’m sure regular filtered water would be fine. But yes diluted herbal tea. :) The parsley etc. for the eyewashes, and the others to help him relax. I didn’t know if I made that clear, I do have a way of rambling confusingly (I reminded myself of tha…
  • Ginko, Bilberry, Eyebright, and Feverfew internally. eyewashes: Parsely, Chamomile, or Eyebright tea. Also make he might try relaxing techniques and various herbal teas to make sure he doesn’t put extra tension on them like I do. Chamomile,Passionfl…
  • lycopene? I don’t know. There are loads of nutrients etc. that we haven’t even discovered yet. Mm though, sounds very good. I can’t wait til my strawberries come up this year..so long as the ants don’t get them. They ate 90% of the fruit last year a…
  • I was hoping someone would start a thread like this. Especially for the recipes without pictures, but even for the ones that do, it’s nice to see the variation.
  • I know exactly how you feel. I don’t want to have to explain my entire life and living situation, but I live on less than 10$ a week(food-wise). I was completely happy living on 100% raw, but my budget cannot afford it, not to mention the local groc…
  • It’s so weird you brought this up. The night before last, I had a weird craving for a whole, raw, clove of garlic(nothing else), so I went and peeled it and ate it. I smelt TERRIBLE the next day, but for some reason I felt I really needed it. I foun…

  • I look for something that says they are suitable for sprouting. But sometimes the only way to find them is online. Recently I had to buy “raw” nuts from the store. Not sure wether they were REALLY raw or not, but I ate them. And the closest to raw I…

  • I don’t use a nut milk bag, and don’t have a vita-mix. I grind my nuts in a coffee grinder then throw them in the blender with water. Sometimes a drop or two of vanilla to even the taste, not enough to actually make it Vanilla flavoured.

  • I used to hate tomatoes (years ago), I slowly tolerated them from having farm fresh, then I found roma/plum, and grape tomatoes! Completely different. Romas have a slightly sweeter taste and they don’t seep juice everywhere. That was what I liked th…
  • Artzy, I didn’t have a low either. And I slept fine, but I’m not sure about better than usual with me though, the cats wake me up wrestling :p. I also go to bed early, and had had it fairly late in the day. It just makes me feel happy and energetic.…
  • There isn’t much of anything here, so I have to do alot of my shopping online. It depends on how much you are buying, and what else you are buying with it, what is the best place to get them.
  • :) I feel the same. I couldn’t believe something could make me feel sooo good. Forget about how good it tastes! I really need to find that book and read it tonight or first thing in the morning.
  • I don’t think it is the caffiene. I can have a cup of coffee and feel nothing but jittery. I can have 4 or 5 cups of black tea and feel exactly the same as before I drank it, if not more dehydrated, but cacao…ah I feel energetic, high and motivated.…
  • I think it’s easier and tastier to make your own. BUT I do believe it is raw. If you buy the same type my roommate buys. :)
  • Well firstly they both help because you can recycle hormones if they are not passed properly (they pass through the liver and out the colon), and of course the years of built up toxins and waste can stay in the gut long after we have went raw. As fo…

  • The best way to prevent acne is a colon and liver cleanse. And as far as healing the face, it sounds really cheesy, but cucumbers. I know everyone always says that, but it’s true. Cucumbers, and aloe. And they taste GREAT. I love it. It moisturises …

  • Or you could always do your very good idea of dehydrating and then grinding. Mmm vanilla.
  • I was going to post a bit on glycerine based extracts, but I looked it up and glycerine isn’t raw. I imagine you could take the vanilla and a sweetener, put them in a jar and let them sit 6 weeks, aggitating daily. Then use that. It works for sugar,…
