• kattbuddah – I found dandelions in our local grocery store (not a specialty store, just a plain old grocery store) but they were in a weird location among the conventional veggies. Don’t know how pesticide ridden they might be – they’re quite large,…

• Hey Luna blu, our paths keep crossing! I’m not a lover of labels, but I’m an animal lover and I feed our dog a BARF diet. She transformed on it, and at 12, she’s gorgeous and healthy so it would be tough to go back now. I do buy Nature’s Variety pat…

• Buddhism is as close as I’ll probably ever get to a religion. Like you, I’ve picked up lessons from many different religions, but after visiting Thailand you start to think there’s something to it, the people seemed so happy. At the moment I’m readi…

• My husband is just like northernlights’, he eats what he’s served because it’s better than having to make it himself. He is extremely supportive, although many times his meal will go quite a long time without being touched because “He’s just relaxin…

• I am a huge fan of the copper IUD. None of my doctors ever mentioned it as an option and I’m wondering if that’s because it lasts 1o years and is not a huge moneymaker. A friend told me about it and I was surprised because I always thought IUD’s wer…

• I always need to add a fat to mine like flax oil or coconut oil. They don’t seem to affect the taste at all. There’s a great blog and recipe on www.welikeitraw.com by Sarma about Green Smoothies, I didn’t know they could taste so good – lots of herb…

• MSM is meant to be great for skin and joints, I throw the powder in my smoothies – it’s in the supplement section or you can buy it online.

• I have a cheap rebounder, but it’s really fun and doesn’t seem to bother my husband when he’s in the same room hanging out. It’s a great warm-up for strength training too.

• I LOVE COFFEE even though it’s not raw, but it makes me happy so I have one really nice latte a week and a savor it!! I’m going to look into the dandelion root tea, though.

• You are not alone. I have always felt the same way and never understood why others didn’t respond to cruelty the way I did. I’ve been amazed to find my daughter reacting even more strongly, I have to read books extremely carefully because she will f…

• Thanks for the link queenfluff! I did it years ago and I’ve been meaning to do it again! My husband helped me, although, he was HIGHLY skeptical and mystified when I asked him. I did find it helpful with my hearing. When I transitioned to 100% raw e…

• One more suggestion – cypress essential oil – dilute it with jojoba or another oil. I get a small bottle of jojoba oil and drop lots of cypress oil in, plus whatever other oils I like and it seems to work well.

• So far so good here, I’m intrigued by the lemon juice although my hair is the opposite, thick and curly. I’m using a boar bristle brush to brush my scalp before I shower and rinse my hair. I figure it’s like skin brushing the body. My only problem i…

• I agree with the saving money, the more pure the shampoos and conditioners are that I buy, the more expensive they are, which I understand because chemicals can be cheap. I’m hoping to be able to travel without having to tote them along, just that l…

• Ok, I had to dig this up again, it’s been too long. How are the no-pooers doing? I did it for a couple of months and gave up, my scalp couldn’t take it, although I didn’t try the baking soda or acv tricks. So now I’m interested again and I’m hoping …

• Samilicious – that is a tricky one, I would have though 2 or 3 months would be enough time for your scalp to regulate itself. Before I rinse my hair I always give it a serious brushing with a wood bristle brush which gives it a super scalp massage. …

• I just have to add that my 7 year old daughter’s hair is beautiful with no poo, and she really likes saying “no poo.” She hasn’t had any scary transition. It’s a relief not to have to go through the shampoo/conditioner saga with her.
