  • Joannabanana - what about ball jars? I always put my smoothies in jars and then just toss the jar in my bag - no mess! :)
  • Ditto. In the new book Raw Food Works (i highly recommend it!) one of the chapters is about the spectrum from SAD to raw/living. the author says that it is important to go through each step, especially whole food vegan, on your way to raw. I think t…
  • be careful with the b12 and how you take it - not that shots or pills will harm you, but the reason many people (not just veggies or vegans, many meat-eaters, too) are deficient has more to do with absorption and re absorption than intake. Try incre…
  • For me remembering that junk food is unhealthy doesn't do that much to stop me from eating it if it is in front of me. What makes it unappealing is remembering that it isn't really food - food is something edible that contains nutrients and therefor…

  • Vitamin C! I eat a whole orange (cut off the orange skin, keep the white pith) in my smoothie every morning and it works wonders. Also, beware of cell phones - too much cell phone time ALWAYS makes me break out right where I was holding the phone. O…
  • That was BEAUTIFUL! Did you check out the portraits?? Denis Healy was a bit of a surprise… Loved it. ;) Thanks for sharing.
  • Poor girl… That sounds awful. I hope you feel better tomorrow. Two things,though. First, yes, it may have gone bad. I have had that happen before. I didn’t get sick, but I could taste that it was a bit off. Now I keep mine in the fridge. Also, if th…
  • Thanks for all your help! I’ll try those…
  • This was my first year NOT fasting. I have really low blood sugar, and usually end up passing out if I don’t sleep all day, and that just seems like a waste. So this year I ate and drank, and was able to focus on the “torture our souls” part a bit m…
  • I have gotten pretty good at this… Here’s my method: I hold the coco between my feet, then hammer a phillip’s head screwdriver into the holes (all three) and drain the water. Then I hold it with one hance and whack it repeatedly with the hammer. Aft…
  • TheRawDance (and everyone else!) You are beautiful! Thanks for sharing so openly, honestly, and so FEARLESSLY! You all have amazing stories, and it is really a privilege to get to know some of them… Thanks for the black sesame seed tip, too! I didn’…

  • Paxton Squiggledy, My mom was diagnosed with osteoperosis in her hips and oteopenia in other areas. She’s 4’9”, 85#, and has always been a pescatarean, but mostly veggie. But, she eats out a lot, and microwaves a lot. I advised her to go raw, down g…
  • I rock the kazoo like nobody’s business. Tambourine, too, on occasion. ;) Not sure if raw has helped… My yoga chanting is stronger, I think…
  • CanarsieBK – thanks for all the good ideas!
  • I don’t know of any in London, but there are lots of ways to drain the lymph. I used a practitioner whose machine was supposed to be equivalent to seven lymphatic massages, although the massage probably feels better. (the machine doesn’t feel like a…
  • I haven’t tried glycos yet, but a short lymphatic drainage treatment almost completely cured my PMT. I couldn’t believe it. The only time I ever felt bad was that once a month, and so now I feel pretty great always… :) Have you tried that yet?
  • the more your food travels, te longer it takes to get from the field (or tree) to your plate, and the more nutrients are destroyed. I am not an expert, but from a nutritional standpoint, from all that I have read, local is better than organic for MO…
  • I soak for six hours and then sprout for about 36. (I’ll try just soaking for an hour today and see what the differences are.) They are so slimy until later in the sprouting process, which is fine if you rinse them like crazy, but if you let them sp…

  • I’m a yoga instructor, and I love newbies! (You are not a true newbie as you are fully prepared from all your home studying, so even less for you to stress about.) I always try to make new students feel welcome, as do all the other instructors I hav…
  • Would the testosterone have any impact on baldness? (I’m not bald, personally, just wondering…) :) Very interesting stuff…
  • I live near Hippocrates Health Institute, where people go to learn Raw and be cured of cancer, digestive disorders, etc. so a lot of people around here kinda get it. The problem is that they get so defensive when they find out what I do (help others…
