• All natural skincare! Woohoo! I weaned off all unnatural products during the course of 2009, so I'm keen to share my experience, malchusmom. As background, I'd just like to say that I had had chronic acne since I was 12 and it only stopped at 26 ( I…

• Thanks for this thread Tahiti. It's inspiring in its very nature: formulating why I eat raw for myself again. The simplicity and naturalness of eating raw is beautiful. In short, it makes me feel pure and closer to God. I feel a bond with nature; it…

• try green fennel seeds too, it also freshens the breath, also great for digestion. I love the taste. It's actually an Indian tradition!

  in question about few things Comment by EvaAfrica
• I'm not a nutritionist, so won't be able to advise you on the content of your daily food intake. However, on the gum: is it raw gum if one ever gets something like that? because the ingredients and extreme processed nature of gum would cause me to s…

• An update on my experience of trying to go no-poo: I've given up. Did all I could find in research and ideas, bought the boar bristle brush (great, glad I did), washed with baking soda, used vinegar, tried going for weeks without washing to see if t…

• Feedback on going no-poo: (about 3 weeks into it now) Going all right, juggling feelings of giving it up versus pushing through. Bought a bristle brush and scalp-massager, loving it! And tried washing my hair with vinegar to get a measure of the oil…

  in ditch shampooing? Comment by EvaAfrica
• Thanks all! Like all your input. I'm doing quite well on the no-shampoo, day 6 today, after you guys inspired me. I found brushing my hair from scalp through to the ends for at least 5 minutes daily worked to get the oiliness out. So yeah, like Kitt…

• Not addicted any longer! Glad to report that I've spent 2 weeks having my 2 big salads a day (it's really the craving buster people claim it to be!) and I had no tahini, only had dates four days ago for the first time again. And the cravings are gon…

  in cravings for dense sweet food & tahini Comment by EvaAfrica
• Your comment has been mulling around a lot. Like I've gotta get to grips with the bigness of the fact that I'm addicted to the sweet rich food. I totally agree and see it though. Practically speaking, I thought I should only stock acid and subacid f…

• Wish you could take me on a tour of your edible garden. Big dream of mine! Does your family also eat raw with you when you do? I am convinced I was made a health food lover, just always preferred the healthy stuff and gradually matured and refined w…

  in Non Raw Husband - Help! Comment by EvaAfrica
• I take 45mg of Bcomplex with a 5mg folic acid in the morning, and 45mg Bco again at lunch. Keeps me out of trouble in the eating and groggy department. Not sure what a doctor may prescribe.

• I'm 100% raw and eating well, I live in South Africa so we've got great variety of fruit & veg all year. Anyway, I stopped my B12 supplements after going raw. On levels of energy and radiant health I was up there on raw, but then after a month I…

• I love tahini so much that I had to break an addiction to it when I first became raw! Now it's got its proper place. Ayenjay, I prefer tahini by the spoonful all unadulterated too! Glad to say that it can stay with a spoon or two now, not 5 or half …

• Definitely sprout hulled buckwheat. It's impossible to sprout the unhulled seeds, I've tried! Then someone in the raw know told me to only sprout hulled buckwheat, sprouting some myself at the moment.

  in Buckwheat Comment by EvaAfrica
• All sprouts are super high, if not the highest, source of protein, but lentils and other beans act like a starch in your digestive system. The enzyme that breaks down starch in the stomach breaks down beans. Lentils are also one of the rare food gro…
