• I agree, it comes with time too. But The moment I'd feel upset, I'd eat something with Magnesium, as it is lost during stress, and has a calming effect. Greens do the best, and my go-to was Spirulina, or...Cacao ;) Excercise, no matter how much you …

• He may not be getting enough vitamins and minerals, and so his body feels the need to eat more. I used to eat ALL day before going raw. Bee pollen, Sole (mineral rich salt water in small doses-you can make yourself google if unfamiliar), superfoods,…

• Start sprouting, and eating bananas more. It will cut the cost a litte and maybe they won't complain as much... also, perhaps you should bring to their attention the money that goes on the frivolous things your brother enjoys (not exact amounts, don…

• I watched the last clip, and part of the first... The last clip, I have to say, I appreciate their concern and thoughts, but I find them a bit misinformed on certain points. And yes, Kombucha should be taken in moderation 4-8 oz. in the morning and …

• It may be that the batch is newer, and the bacteria haven't eaten all of the sugar yet (most Kombuchas are bottled with a little extra sugar for bubbles). I do agree that it also could be your tastes evolving and becoming more sensitive. Perhaps you…

• I love Kim-Chi but my roommates don't like to smell garlic seeping off me. :( haha I'm making some today. MMMM! I think fermented cabbage feels the best of all the fermented foods I eat. I suppose do to the large amounts of lacto bacilli. YUM!

  in Fermented?? Comment by have_mersey
• I've been wondering... Is it possible to keep Piima yogurt cultures alive on vegan milks? It seems there ought to be a way to adapt these things.

• I forgot about fennel. I have fennel seed and I should probably add it to my spice blend when making B&G. MM.

• I make it vegan without soy products, however I haven't figured a good way of doing it raw because..well, all my bread attempts thus far have been wretched. As for the cooked Vegan: Coconut oil seasoned with hot (though you can use regular) paprika,…

  in Biscuits & Gravy substitute? Comment by have_mersey
• As far as I know. I sprout and use them for grass or granola. :D Haven't done the grass in ages though because my juicer just tears at, then discards them. Even when I feed it through with something tender.

  in Wheat seeds? Comment by have_mersey
• I agree with short excercise throughout the day and warming spices: Sage, hot peppers, cinnamon, ginger tea, cardamom, black pepper, and such. Salt makes me warm. I also have two really great ways of warming if all else fails: Cats. :)

• I kind of figured ELF wasn't raw, but KNOW ING it is upsetting. :( I haven't bought ELF products in a while but I loved those cacao paste squares. Pooh.

  in cacao Comment by have_mersey
• I use it. It doesn't break me out, even when I have eaten entirely too much. I never have difficulties falling asleep either, but raw cacao is extremely low in caffiene. The raw things that keep me energized never prevent me from relaxing, or restin…

  in cacao Comment by have_mersey
• Quinoa, TEA, Indian food, and on occasion, I'll have rice milk or Coffee. This winter I've been eating way too much cooked and I don't feel very energetic. Besides the above, which is more usual for my non-raw meals when I have them, I've become a p…

• Eating high-green prevents my paleness from burning. I can't say that I could stay out ALL day, but I can stay out for several hours and not burn now (it used to be half an hour and I was painfully red).

• Do like Dates? Dried or fresh, whatever you can get your hands on- high in calories and tasty! Most fats and dried fruits (or sweeter ones) are high in calories. Is it for necessary weight gain or is your Doctor just concerned about your lack of cal…

• makelena, the only "buzz" I get is the clean-energetic kind. I've never felt drunk...In my un-doctorly opinion it would not effect the meds, if spaced throughout the day. Fresh squeezed orange juice is .5 percent alcohol. Nearly the same as Kombucha…

• I have to either right-click and do "open a new tab" or "open in a new window" instead of clicking directly to the recipe. It brings it up that way, but you still have the page you were on. If this makes sense. I am terrible at explanations. :)

• For me, cacao, and especially, SPIRULINA (and anything else green, the darker the better). I had/have bad depression (recurrences when I can't or don't stay raw hmm.), and the only thing that seems to help when in despair is Spirulina. I'm not sayin…

• I do have a jar going with Rooibos. But I add 1-2 tsp. regular tea per half gallon because the yeast need a little to live off of. It would have such a minute amount of caffiene that it isn't even worth mentioning really. :) Watch out for jars that …
