• It's true that magnesium is more effective than calcium. It helps the body absorb calcium better and flushes what the body can't use. Potassium also works great with magnesium and calcium. I worry more about magnesium and potassium intake than calci…

• It would depend on the recipe and the desired texture. If it's to make milk, almonds might be a good substitute. If it's a base ingredient to give mass or a cream substitute, perhaps soaked sunflower seeds, macadamia nuts or cashews.

• Something else you might want to consider is your water intake. When beginning raw, your body will start detoxing and it's best to drink more than the usual amount to help flush the toxins being released. While detoxing, I try to drink at least a ga…

• I'm not an expert, but I do believe in listening to my body. If you are allergic to wheat and grass, wheat grass will probably not be healing to you, even though it is to others. Perhaps a raw vegetable soup or a big green salad would be an easy way…

• I tried going to the site but wasn't able, but then I tend to have computer issues. A chart would be nice to have. I just try to make sure they're always covered in water, adding when necessary. The larger the nut the longer it gets soaked.

• You can read or hear anything, everyone has an opinion about something and it's healthy to be skeptical. The first time I had an ionic foot bath it was a hoax and I had no interest in trying it again. Later a friend talked me into trying it where sh…

• When I have insomnia it's usually due to stress. I agree with Tangerina, the stress causes insomnia and the insomnia causes more stress. I had finally reached the point of desperation when a friend told me about someone who does ionic foot baths and…

• I just found a really good olive oil at The Fresh Market. Badia a Coltibuono says they use no heat or chemicals and their website says they use organic growing methods. It's a little expensive at around $22 for 16.9oz. so I use it sparingly.
