• mmmorgans – I feel for you, but you’re not alone. From what I’ve read here, most of us don’t have raw friends in our daily lives but it doesn’t mean you won’t inspire the friends you already have. Don’t let the preparation overwhelm you. Just take i…

• Hey ejowett! You are not alone. Most of us here are on our own when it comes to raw food. We have non-raw partners and friends and we learn from sites like this and recommended books. As far as your questions go, you’ll get different answers dependi…

• This is my husband’s area of expertise. He lead a five year study from 2000-2005 sampling sperm whales around the equator for toxins. They’re still analyzing the data, but one of the most alarming findings was the fact that some of the hot spots wer…

• I use extra virgin coconut oil – you can remove it with a tissue or damp wash cloth. You can give yourself a mini facial massage at the same time!

• The soap nuts ruined my whites!! But made my sheets very soft. I’m correcting this with Seventh Generation non-chlorine bleach which I think is hydrogen peroxide based. Also – Trader Joe’s lavender dryer sachets are lovely – they’re just dried laven…

• My favorite is by Sarma: http://www.welikeitraw.com/rawfood/2008/01/find… You can simplify it but I loved the idea of peeled lemons and limes and cucumber as a base and all of the lovely herbs.

• khalderon – hmmmm…the Boutenko family are of Russian descent and they have lots of books. That’s the closest I can get to Polish. I have Green for Life by Victoria Boutenko and it’s great and very accessible. Other well-known authors that I’ve read …

• From my experience, it’s all about exfoliation (I think it’s genetic because my diet doesn’t have any effect). In the past the only time I was able to get rid of it was with hard-core exfoliating lotions from the drugstore, not so natural, but they …

• Samilicious – our home is open plan and I can hear my dehydrator from upstairs. I have to admit, part of the reason I don’t use it that often is the noise, my husband also finds it annoying. If you tend to congregate in the kitchen it might be a pro…

• It was because of someone else who was raw that I became raw. I had never heard of it, knew nothing about it. But I saw what it did for him and decided it was worth a try. This is how I’ve come to just about every lifestyle choice I’ve made – by lea…

• gorawmom – I got goosebumps when I read your post. Tim VanOrden was the reason I went raw last July. He’s from my home town in Vermont and my parents had told me what he was doing which led to my own raw journey. They recently saw him at the local r…

• biscuit – I don’t know what I would do without my Vitamix, I use it way more than my food processor. I got mine on eBay and I’m thankful for it every day. I have a 4300 and it did come with the blender stick. You could even try Craig’s List, because…

  in Diagnosed with Candida - Help Comment by amysue

• Good luck Gala! Just an idea that I forgot to post as I was doing it. I found it helpful to make the salt water flush – 1 quart filtered water and 2 teaspoons sea salt – in a mason jar and let it sit overnight covered so it would be room temp when I…

• Hey ladies! Back in the food world here. My transition is going smoothly and quickly, I seem to crave new and heavier foods by the hour, which is fine with me. I had to go to a big celebration dinner last night at a seafood restaurant, and I didn’t …

• Hey kindaraw – it’s been fun! Glad you were here with me. I’m thinking of following your lead and ending on Day 9. I’m still mystified by the whole breaking the fast routine. I just read pages and pages online about it and all I can conclude for sur…

• I have to amend my previous report of losing 4 pounds in a day – it came back. I have lost no weight, but that’s ok, just seems odd being on liquids for 6 days now. I’m with cavegal in that I don’t mind the SWF at all. Don’t mind the taste, gotten u…
