• The first green juice with kale, lemon, cucumber, asparagus, etc, ie, the WORKS, I had this year was had lying out on the lawn looking at the blue sky through the leaves of the apple tree in my garden. Every cell in my body felt so shining and clean…

• Yay, hurray for you Joyce H, although we don't have thanksgiving, turkeys are routinely dished up at Christmas in the UK and I have told my family we are going out to dinner as I am NOT cooking an adorable turkey EVER AGAIN! I have only ever been ab…

• I feel sorry for her in a way because fast food is so addictive, but I can't blame you if you did dump her because your energy is being sapped by her frustrating behaviour. The problem is when telling a friend some good advice it always seems to get…

• hi, asparagus is a good kidney cleanser. It makes your urine smell but I was thinking recently, perhaps that's because it is flushing out toxins. Would agree with emptdmom about water with lemon juice too, and just ensure that you stay rehydrated pr…

• Hey Mikfizzle, we have an interesting raw magazine called 'Get Fresh' over here in the UK ( from the Fresh Network www.fresh-network.co.uk) but a lot of the articles are from people from the US, one of whom is Tonya Zavasta. She has said in one of h…

• Thanks for putting me in the picture Lulushka, I have really only seen Angela Stokes on the Raw for Life DVD, which I thought was a good (albeit cheesy) piece full of information about raw foodism, so I was just interested in what your take was. I a…

  in Raw Union - who's going? Comment by Debs60
• I'm really interested in your comments, Lulushka, as I have been quite impressed by Angela Stokes and her weight loss on raw...however, I do notice that she has got an e-product for those wanting to lose weight, etc, which, in itself I can't condemn…

• Please don't feel a failure, it is so hard when you get the pre-m cravings and you are working so hard. The more you get wound up about it the more likely you are to just revert back to what you have done in the past. Just celebrate how far you have…

• Thanks Mikfizzle, will let you know when I have seen it. Yes, I love that quote, and I think perhaps people should see it for real. I also like George Bernard Shaw's quote, Animals are my friends,... and I don't eat my friends'. btw have you posted …

• Thanks Suasoria, very grateful. I will look for it today. I think I made a mistake (oops!) about Earthlings, I thought Lilearthmuffin was a link to the Meet your Meat, and I realise that what you have all been talking about is, in fact, Earthlings -…

• You are absolutely right, suasoria, thanks for that. We probably wouldn't be able to watch it if governments had their way, which is why I support Viva, Peta and the Animal Defenders so wholeheartedly. I will try and get the audio book but i'm not s…

• I understand what you are saying Suasoria, from that quote, I guess I should watch it as otherwise they died for nothing. however I was so traumatised by the Viva video I saw at new year (which not only showed factory farming and slaughterhouses but…

• I agree, this is just so awful and it is not even in the name of our survival. Thanks Joyce H and Aspire, I hope others will sign up against this abominable trade. It has got to be stopped.

• Hi, I think I have said this before but just to mention that some wines are filtered using gelatine or a fish derived product called isinglass. There are vegan wines around, it just takes some researching, otherwise I think wine qualifies as a ferme…

• Oh ok Achin70, its just when I did some pharmacology during my nursing training, that was when i came across it, but my notes are now buried deep in a box, it would be interesting to see exactly what 'they' the pharmaceutical companies that is, say …

• Thanks everyone for the comments and some interesting debate on the oxidiser standpoint, the only thing I know is that people on pharmaceutical drugs can transition from fast oxidiser to slow oxidiser after giving up smoking, therefore the drugs are…

  in worried about ageing Comment by Debs60
• Hi, I agree with suasoria that maybe I was losing weight too fast and it has been really hot here, so that might have something to do with it, am trying to increase my water intake at the moment. And Wow Achin70 you really know a thing or two about …

• Hi TJAB, I am glad things are sorted cos I went to work having looked at your original post and I was so upset that you had such grief, it's so awful. Its true though, that it is his stuff and not you that's the problem, but its all too easy to take…

• I think, as far as I remember, that beer is cooked but vegan wine (filtered by natural products and not gelatin/fish products) is raw, so go ahead and get stuck in!
