  • In a nutshell, soy has the following problems: it has enzyme inhibitors, it is phytoestrogens which messes with our hormones, it disrupts our thyroid funtion, it blocks some important minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, and zinc. In general, not…
    in Am I doing ok? Comment by Belinda8471
  • Here is my two cents: If you feel your body needs more carbs, you would do it disservice to add back sugar, bread and pasta. Those are so highly processed that I believe they will do you more harm than good. For carbs, please consider adding more fr…

  • SoloStar II juicer Anyone have experience with the SoloStar II juicer? It's made by the same company that makes the Green Star (Tribest), but it's a single auger and about half the price. I was planning on buying a Champion because I can't afford th…
  • I know. At one very large health food store, they looked at me like I had three heads. LOL The shipping on the site I mentioned is prohibitive for just this one item, but when I added it to an order I was already placing, it didn't increase it. You …
  • You are most welcome. I looked at all the health food stores around here, but no one sold them. I would have rather walked into one of them and just bought it, but I had to buy one online.
  • I know there are lots of different kinds out there. I bought a large one from www.rawfoodworld.com when I was ordering some other stuff. It's the only one I've ever had, so I don't have a comparison, but I like it a lot. The top is big enough to fol…
  • I was wondering the same thing!
    in Nuts and Seeds Comment by Belinda8471
  • I have always had a problem with underarm odor. Even when I used commercial stuff (before realizing how bad that was), I had trouble finding something that really worked for me. When I quit commercial stuff and went on the search for something natur…
  • I know everyone is different, but I've noticed that I get stopped up if I eat lots of nuts for my fats. That doesn't happen if I get my fats from avocados and coconut oil. Also, if you are eating a lot of dehydrated foods, you have to make sure you …

  • Yummy, yum, yum! Reading all these posts makes me want to go right out and buy her books. Thanks for sharing, everyone! :-)

  • When I got my first jar of raw honey, I just couldn't believe how wonderful it tastes!! It is so different from processed honey. I could smell and taste the flowers that the bees pollinate. Wow!! Yes, thick like cake icing and white-ish in color is …
    in Honey? Comment by Belinda8471
  • Violet, Fruits and nuts are not a good mix because fruit digests very easily and quickly (and needs to). Nuts, like other fats, digest slowly. When digestion of the fruit is slowed by fats, it ferment in the digestive tract. This can cause bloating …
    in No raw after 4 Comment by Belinda8471
  • If you have been raw vegan for almost a year and a half, and this is now happening, it doesn't seem to me it would be related to raw veganism in general. What has changed recently? Have you started eating a lot more of anything in particular? It's p…
  • Joannabanana, I've been researching this in order to go no poo' myself, so I've read a lot of stuff lately by those who've had sucess. Are you putting the vinegar on all of your hair, including the scalp? Most no poo'ers say that they use the bs mix…

  • Does ACV go bad? I have an old bottle, but can't find an expiration date on it anywhere.
  • I just saw this question on another thread here, so I wanted to share some info from that one. From me - In a nutshell, soy has the following problems: it has enzyme inhibitors, it is phytoestrogens which messes with our hormones, it disrupts our th…
    in Tofu? Comment by Belinda8471
  • Wow! I guess I'm getting a good deal here, then! LOL Thanks for giving me a frame of reference.
  • Are cherimoyas supposed to be this expensive??? We just got a farmer's market for the first time in my town, and I saw my first cherimoya. I had only read about them before. They were sampling pieces, and WOW was it great. I bought one to take home,…
  • Thank you so much for your reply. It was most helpful!!
    in MASTER CLEANSE Comment by Belinda8471
  • Partial cleanse? Is there any benefit to drinking the lemonade when not doing the full cleanse? I am thinking about doing lemonade for breakfast and lunch and a light fruit or nonfat salad dinner. I cannot do a full cleanse right now, as I have some…

  • I have the dry blade and wet blade, but find that I really didn't need to spend the extra money. The dry blade is a different shape, and it sits lower and flatter in the container. The container doesn't have a "well" under the blade, like the wet on…

  • Hey reciprocipe! I just saw your post about stinky farts... LOL Boy, can I relate! At one point, mine was SO bad that I was passing up social events and staying home. I couldn't stand to be in a room by myself, much less subject anyone else to it! C…
  • I don't know if they still sell them, but I've seen chocolate bar molds at Michael's, a craft store in the states. A craft store might be a place to look before ordering online and paying shipping.
  • I have what may be a stupid question. I'm fairly new to raw (2 months), and I've seen "ACV" a lot lately. I've been trying to figure out what abbreviation it may be, but can't figure it out. Can someone please tell me what that is?
  • I am SO glad that someone brought this up. I am also newly raw, only 2 months in, and my teeth are hyper-sensitive right now. They really hurt sometimes. I have had dental problems all my life, and just got things under control again. So, it was dis…
  • Thank you so much for mentioning this! I do have a tilted uterus, and I was just about to buy a diva cup. I will stick with my reusable organic flannel pads. You just saved me a lot of hassle. Thank you so much!
  • Californian almonds must be pasteurized now by law, no matter the size of the farm, to be sold retail. Farms can sell raw nuts directly to individuals, although I'm not sure of quantity limitations. You can purchase raw nuts at Trader Joe's, which h…
  • How thrilling to find fellow Christians! I love eating raw, but don't care for the new age or Eastern religion overtones either. It's nice to find fellow Christians doing this for health, just like me. By the way, I ran into something similar when I…
