• Careful with oil of oregano, as it is a powerful antibiotic... it can be good if you have unwanted lifeforms in your body (parasites, yeasts, etc) that you want to kill, problem is, it kills the stuff you want too. So take lots of probiotics at the …

• TURMERIC!!!! Saved me from three staph infections in Hawaii (it’s super scary there—mostly antibiotic resistant). I kept asking the locals there how to heal it—they said it came with the tourists & hippies, but that turmeric worked for that kind…

• Don’t know if it’s the right flavor for a “sandwich”, but you could marinate it in a apple cider vinegar marinade with some herbs or garlic… that would help it get soft—then you could drain them and pat them dry (if that was the effect you were goin…

• I’ve gone through so many phases with my food combining habits… was ultra-pure for awhile, and that worked really well physically, but was a drag in every other sense. Now I try out whatever combinations I want, live-and-learn style, if it works, gr…

• I’ve been making live food desserts for our local farmers market, and I also have a small baby who needs my attention often—so I finally had a gap of time in which to get a ton of prepping done… I was making a cherry filling for a chocolate cake. I …

• I started doing live food catering at the beginning of this year—I’ve actually never been a “full-on” raw-foodist, ranging from 25% in winter to 95% in summer—but I really have faith in the healing properties of live foods. Since I’ve started focusi…

• I sun-dried my own raisins a few years ago and they’ve kept really well in a jar since then… they’re my special treat. I got them really dry though, before storing them.

• I have a 9 1/2 mo. old boy… He’s at 95% so far! Fruits, mama-milks, a bite or two of homemade rice cereal every once in awhile. So far his favorite solid foods are spinach-banana puree and durian! We’ll see what he has to say about it all when he’s …

• Soaked almonds made into pate with lemon juice and garlic/herbs? There’s a great tooth-whitening product I discovered, made by “Uncle Harry’s”... all herbal ingredients—tastes bad, but really works, with none of the uncomfortable after-effects. :)

• Mangos are also in the family with cashews and poison ivy… People often have sensitivities to them too. I noticed that my eczema flared up big-time whenever I ate cashews, so I stopped using them in my food… avos and coconuts are all I need! Rawcuss…

• I think that honey and propolis and all the things that bees create are amazing and magical and can be used medicinally to good affect. There used to be more of a balance between honey bees and humans… we had to work a little harder to collect their…

• I’m glad to hear about acquaintance—I’ll check them out (that’s why I love these forums!). I was talking about the most-available pollen and royal jelly that some folks swear by. Keep checking your (and my) facts!

• The best rice I’ve ever had (cooked or raw) was some real wild rice that a friend harvested in Minnesota…. then I got the tip that livingtreecommunity.com sells it on their website, with advice on how to eat it uncooked. It’s terrific, delicious and…

• I think it was the fresh and balanced (eaten with the fruit and fibers) factors than made the cacao less stimulating, not whether they were fermented. :)

  in So David Wolfe has lied to me? Comment by sunshinerose
• I lived in Hawaii for awhile, and was blessed enough to be near some abundantly producing cacao trees. There were a few weeks when I ate about a pod a day, fresh with the fruit on the bean (about 25 seeds and a bunch of pulp and fiber). The fruit is…

• I think the sickest I’ve ever been (from food) was when I combined cantalope with a fruit salad just before a long drive—I don’t get car sick, but I couldn’t even sit up for the whole three hours… Melon + other foods has never been good news for me.…
