• Have you been tested for these deficiencies? If you have, great, but if not I wouldn’t rely on just your symptoms to determine whether or not you’re malnourished. These could be symptoms of a systemic candida overgrowth just as easily as deficiencie…

• kindaraw – I’m pretty sure I have ordered it from www.sunfoods.com and www.alissacohen.com until I discovered it was at my health food store all along. Many raw foodists use it, but I’ve heard here that it’s not raw, just unpasteurized. Tastes like …

• Here’s an update on my experience with the Progest cream. It seems to have scared my period away. Where did it go? No idea. I stopped taking the cream after the recommended 14 days when my period would normally begin, and now a week later, hmmmm. I …

• Hey RawrAdisaurous, what a lot of confusion for you! Wow. I don’t have any hardcore answers, I can just tell you what I’ve experienced. I’ve also taken the pill for years, then after giving birth took DepoProvera, so I have some experience taking th…

• deborahann – I’ve tried all kinds of things – cutting out all sugar for a month which made me miserable, drinking pau d’arco tea, which I will continue to do, but I have been taking oregano oil daily for a couple of weeks. I had the usual brain fog …

• I have to admit, we just returned from Puerto Rico and we saw a Ben and Jerry’s in San Juan. I’m a Vermonter, where it all started, and it drew us in like a magnet. I hadn’t had ice cream in about a year and it was big in our life – we served Chubby…

• BeTheChange – I love it too! I don’t think I could work in a coffee shop without drinking at least a little, but what strikes me is the joy it brings you – your job, the whole sensory experience, it sounds wonderful! Joy is such a big part of health…

• Well, you’ve already inspired me. After reading your son’s recipe last night, but not being able to print it, I sat down at the computer with a close approximation after the craving for Almond Joy was stirred, and here you are introducing yourself a…

• I was also surprised by the reaction to this thread. I’ve reread and reread the opening comments and although I don’t really understand it, it seemed like someone was trying to help others in their own way. They’ve found a path that works for them a…

• That’s so good to hear. She loves it, and that’s all that matters right now. I don’t think she knows what weird is, because our life is so weird it’s normal. I think her favorite food experience so far was Thailand, eating banana shakes and cucumber…

  in THANK YOU! Comment by amysue
• That’s so kind of you to say. I thought about your name last night after I had seen it for the first time and I wanted to send it as a message to a friend having troubling times who’s waiting for change to come to her. I just remembered you’re the c…

• I’ve also been looking into the connection between the liver and the skin because every time I do something liver cleansing like eating dandelion or drinking the tea my temples break out. I’m 9 months along on the raw path so it could creep up again…

• have_mersey – hope you find some soon! Winona – I always bring “back up food” to other people’s houses, at least to have in the car, because some people have said – don’t bring anything, I’ll look after you – when in reality my tastes and needs usua…

  in raw social lives... Comment by amysue
• I was a bit of a hermit in the beginning, not because my friends weren’t accepting, but because I didn’t want to mess up my body. Then social opportunities started to come up like meeting for tea to chat, or going to a play, non-food events. Recentl…

• I’ve always craved chocolate, just love it, so I eat a raw cacao smoothie just about every day. This way I’m getting my chocolate, plus lots of superfoods, all the good stuff. It’s real chocolate, as real as it gets, and for the rest of the day I do…

• nessie – I tried it briefly but found I couldn’t raise a 7 year old without being able to talk for 15 minutes in the morning. There’s lots of info at www.earthclinic.com. There seem to be lots of people who swear by it.

  in Has anyone here had any experience with oil pulling Comment by amysue
• It’s so hard to say, it could be stuff getting stirred up by the cleansing going on (the cliche detox), could be allergies from the change of seasons and all the pollen in the air, or it could be viruses going around. When I had cleansing episodes I…

• I love the pictures – your kitchen will definitely evolve. I moved the microwave to the dingy basement and my stove is more of a countertop now. Also laugh at the produce bin in the fridge now. You may have to make more frequent trips to the store s…

• Alissa Cohen’s book, as angie recommends, was the first book I read about raw and I was sold, although I had a bit rougher ride than what she describes. I would add Green for Life by Victoria Boutenko to angie’s list – all about green smoothies, and…

• We were all in your place once, and the beginning is so fascinating and exciting. Angie and pianissima have covered a lot, but I just want to add that you can eat cooked food if you need to. In the beginning I was super strict about being as raw as …

• You’re very welcome. I don’t have any scientific method for determining their diet, other than feeding them a total of about 4 different types of veggies a day – two in the morning and two at dinnertime, feeding no more than one high oxalic acid gre…

• We have raw guinea pigs! They’re still young, less than a year, but since Christmas they’ve eaten nothing but organic Timothy hay and raw greens – cilantro, parsley, baby spinach, dandelions, lettuce, mesclun, frisee, sheep’s sorrel from the yard, a…

• Amygdala – I’m going to say yes to the kidneys, any path of elimination – kidneys, lymphatic system, bowels, skin. I would guess that different types of substances are released in different ways, depending on where they’re stored (liver, fat). There…

• I’m a huge fan of extra virgin coconut oil, as are many on this site, as it’s so safe you can eat it. You can use it to remove eye makeup, cleanse your face by tissuing off or removing with a damp wash cloth, shaving, moisturizing. I use it every da…

• This isn’t really related to the raw, but I used www.diagnose_me.com recently and it suggested that I might be estrogen dominant meaning I might need natural progesterone. I had no idea at my age my hormones could be out of balance but there are a l…
