• I grew up in the south—peanut country!.We never ate them raw because they were so horrible tasting. I always wondered when I was young about the old JIF commercials “Tastes like fresh peanuts”-Yuck! Then it became “Tastes like fresh roasted peanuts”…

• Generally when you freeze a veggie it is blanched in boiling water before hand. I also love edamame. From what I’ve read, if you are going to eat soy ,these whole unprocessed forms are the healthiest. Soy doesn’t bother me but it doesn’t agree with …

• No problem MT- it’s so frustrating when they are so sick and I know you want to stay as natural as possible and when you are already trying to force feed, the last thing you want to have to do is shove more pills down! It sounds like she’s turned th…

• Silymarin is the active ingredient in one of the nutramaxx supplements I mentioned in the original thread. It is the most active component of milk thistle. So glad you are getting your buddy back!

• I had myself tested for food allergies a couple of years ago and the literature stated that avoiding the culprit foods for 3 to 6 mo was usually enough time for the body’s immune system to “forget” the offending foods. The exception to this was whea…

• I use a skin, hair and nail supplement with MSM,silica, and PABA. I am not yet 100% raw and I don’t know if I ever will be able to do it. I still drink coffee about once per week before I hit the grocery store. I don’t want to go more frequently tha…

• What about using a little with lettuce on some uncooked bread (or ezekiel bread if you are ok with that) on a sandwich or wrap? I grew them last year and I don’t recall them being that spicy, but different areas produce different results. Before I s…

• So chocoholic is definitely an appropriate term! That’s really interesting info. I knew it had stimulatory effects,but not about the opiate receptors. No wonder the “gotta get it NOW” feeling is so strong. The only way I would have been able to resi…

• I called the Food for Life Co a while back and asked what temp they cook their bread at and she said 250. The packaging said it is prepared so as to preserve the natural enzymes. Maybe 245 would be OK. If you could get it to work lower I’m sure that…

• How warm does it have to be? I live in Eastern Pa and we usually have alot of cloudy days. Could you do this in a dehydrator (covered to keep it from drying)? I tried to do this a few years ago after the ezekiel bread fiasco but I think I tried to b…

• Zenpawn—wheatberries are different from buckwheat and I’m not sure if you need to sprout but in general, sprouted is more nutritious. Rawmama—I’ll try that with the flax and honey because I’m a really raw honey addict! I use the master sprouter from…

• Got busy this week and no time yet to play! Will keep you informed. I think I’m going to soak them overnight first and then sprout 24 hrs like Zoe said and just get them into the dehydrator to dry. Once dry I can just store them.

  in Sprouted Wheatberries Comment by deborahann
• If it was stored dry it should. I always try to use seeds from the year before when I plant my garden and most of the time they come up fine, at least for a few years anyway.You could try sprouting 50 to 100 berries and see if they grow. That will g…

  in Detox, juice fasting Comment by deborahann
• If the detox gets too tough to handle, eating very light raw foods should slow it down—a piece of fruit or a light salad or a green smoothie. Then when you feel better, go back to juice. You should be able to do this for a while so your body can slo…

• Hi MangoWoman-Could this be related to your cycle? I, too, suffer from horrible cravings-mostly for sugar, but sometimes salty stuff like pizza or chips. I finally managed to go 100% raw on 9/19 and things got a lot better but I still find myself go…

  in Disturbing Craving... Comment by deborahann
• I also agree with all of the above. Since you eat mostly fruit you may be deficient in several things. If you could incorporate more veggies-especially greens- into your diet I think it would be helpful.Juicing would probably be a good way to start …
