• My doctor said that B vitamins are naturally occurring in the body and most people don’t need to get it from outside sources. Whenever I’ve taken B vitamin supplements, I get massive headaches anyway. My hubby got to watch a few friends get their br…

• Must be all of us musicians who love wine so much – I’m not surprised, really. We should start a subgroup for musical-raw-foodies

• I had strep a few weeks ago (at least, I’m pretty sure it was strep – big white pustules and bloody spots on my tonsils – pretty nasty), and it went away in 2 days. I gargled w/ apple cider vinegar once a day and I drank a shot of apple cider vinega…

• I want to make a sun oven because I live in a cold climate, and I’d like to try sun-baked chips and breads. Please let us know if you figure out how to make a dehydrator. I love being handy and saving money at the same time.(Of course, being handy o…

• Maybe doing the 811 thing isn’t right for you right now? Just a thought: if you could create a raw diet that you enjoy and look forward to it will take some pressure off and your eating will become something that brings joy and life to your body AND…

• I read recently that alfalfa sprouts have some not-so-great chemicals in them. What else can I sprout that tastes good to snack on plain?

• Yes, Yes, Yes! Thank you for this. For me, raw food is about health on a cellular and spiritual level. My body IS my food. My spirit IS my thoughts. Beautiful, life-filled foods and thoughts are the way to physical and spiritual health. Thanks for t…

• Wow, I’ve eaten raw potatoes on a regular basis all of my life! I slice them, throw some salt on and, yum! My mom used to give them to me when I had ear infections or sore throats as a kid because they are high in vitamin C. You just cut around any …

• I made a live hummus once with the dehydrated garbanzos I got at my local health food store (I know, some do NOT consider that raw). Anyhow, I soaked the beans for 2 days until they sprouted (if they sprouted, they must have had some life in them, r…

• Slosh, I go through this, too, except I don’t get the energy bursts, just the deep depression and self doubt. Certainly do find a counselor if you can, and I would also recommend finding something that really makes you laugh. Brian Regan does it for…

• I just found a great way to mask the taste in a breakfast smoothie: Cacao doesn’t completely cover it for me, but cacao and peppermint does. I’ll post the recipe I just created.

  in spirulina.. what to do with it? Comment by WailingWoman
• Just a little bit of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C powder) offsets the taste of spirulina for me. I don’t know if ascorbic acid is considered a raw food or not. Like NoneMoreRaw, I find spirulina is an amazing energy booster. So, whatever I put spirulina…

• About cooking for your family – it depends on how flexible and supportive they are of the raw thing. My husband keeps hamburgers and chicken in the freezer and just grills one when he gets a meat craving. Other than that, he eats what I make for mys…

• I’ve been raw for about 3 weeks, and I am totally preoccupied with food, but I have a life, so I have had to figure out a few things I like and make them in bulk so I have them on hand. I’ve found that if I just eat fruit in the morning, I’m raging …

• I have depression, too, and going raw is one way I’m trying to deal with the horrible fatigue that constant existential angst brings with it. I’m a natural night owl, too. My natural sleep habits would have me sleep from 2am to 10am. BUT, I’ve found…

• I have a MAJOR sweet tooth, so I can feel your pain. Here’s what I do: Slice apples and pineapples to about 1/4 or 1/8 in thickness (depending if you want crispy or chewy). Then, mix agave or sucanat with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and a dash of sal…

• Take tons of vitamin C and cranberry. For me, it works better than the pharms I get from the doc for a UTI, but I use cranberry pills (not raw) because I can take 6 at a time. Also, to put your mom’s mind at ease, you can go to http://www.nutritiona…
