  • Thanks! I look forward to many happy endings...wait, that didn't sound right...lol Seriously, I'm researching like crazy and cut/posting so many recipes to my word docs so I can reference them all later for preparing. I'm so excited!!
  • My boss is a vegan, Indian man (not that there's anything wrong with that...just setting the scenario where I work) who turns his nose up at any other eating habits. I'm slightly over weight and it seems he feels the need to criticize me, in a nonch…
  • Holy Cow! Wait, I didn't mean that. That's just disturbing. I mean, breastfeeding it natural but it's suppose to pretty much end (naturally) when the child can take solid foods, right? Someone made the comment on youtube about how it's natural and t…
  • Thanks Aubbie. :)

  • Cool! I'll definitely be buying some of these soon. I just wish my local market sold them....bunch a yahoos! ...lol
    in cacao nibs Comment by dovesinna
  • Actually, I've never used cacao nibs but have heard about them left and right. I'm fairly new to the raw foods thing and was curious about them....how they're used? Their taste, texture, versatility, etc. Thanks for the heads up everyone.

  • Wow. This is a totally cool concept. I like it. :)
  • Thanks for passing on the info. :)
  • Funny thing...I think: he asked me how my doing raw foods is going to affect (i.e INCREASE) our main, basic food bill?! I know for a fact, it's cheaper to shop the outer perimeter of your local grocery store (if you eat dairy and meat too) than it i…
  • Don't get me wrong: I'm not trying to force him to change. I'd never shove this way of food down his throat. I know he'll always be a meat and potatoes kind of dude too. :) I just wish, deep down, that he cared enough about himself to want to be hea…
  • And I'm glad you did share it. I'm just about crying, knowing someone out there in the big world is going through something similar. I think what our loved ones don't realize is that we love them so much and that we want them to be healthy and with …
  • I recall, from science class way back when, that BO is a result of the sweat interacting with BACTERIA on the the skin, NOT the sweat itself. So, logistically speaking, if an individual kept the sweaty places CLEAN, wouldn't that cut down on BO? If …
    in Coming Clean Comment by dovesinna
  • Lol on the leg shaving! My mom's hygiene motto was, "Just make sure you're clean 'down there'. lol, she's funny. I use to work at a generic/name-brand sports supplement store in the 90's and my boss was a nice guy....who didn't believe in deodorant.…

  • Thanks, Suasoria!
    in raw cacao Comment by dovesinna
  • A former surfer, perhaps?! LOL, it's all good. Thanks for the detailed information. I've checked out two sites already and have learned a lot. I really appreciate these boards/forums. Everyone here is so supportive. I look forward to sprouting!! Viv…
  • Thank you so very much! I'll research the sites, and links, you've provided. I've found this site to be so informative and everyone is so helpful. Thanks again, :)Heather
  • You know, that's a really good question and one that I too was going to ask a little ways down the road. I haven't started the raw foods yet, still reading up and saving up for a dehydrator and Vita-Mixer. I work the night audit shift at a hotel and…
  • I saw something on 20/20 about how a lot of produce is being flash frozen, literally, on the property it's picked at, in the warehouses of course. This holds in more nutrients than people think. Stuff is being frozen within brief hours of being pick…
  • I was wondering, too, if anyone has done the raw foods for awhile then "slipped up" and ate cooked? Were additives, preservatives and such even more noticeable and what kind of reactions did one's body have to these things? Did anyone get sick from …
  • My sister raided out grandpa's tomato patch one summer when we were little and ate about six or seven a day until, in a weeks time, the entire area around her mouth and neck broke out in a rash from the acidity of the tomatoes. She cut back to one o…
  • Does the jar or bowl need ventilation then? Placed in a warm environment? Just asking, as I've never sprouted anything. Can I sprout the baby broco-sprouts I've seen the grocery store? They are young broccoli sprouts and are even more nutritious tha…
  • I hate to ask but when you say one celery bunch, do you refer to one stalk, several stalks or the green stuff on top of the stalk? Thanks.
  • Zoe: Would you kindly share your recipes for Cucumber and/or Celery juice? It sounds refreshing, especially during the warmer, summer months? Thanks. :) Heather
  • Well, I'm assuming I'd get arrested if I went out in my yard, shirtless or better yet..full-bodied, being a girl and all. I don't think the neighbors would mind overly much (pervs!) but I think I'll stick with hanging out, shortsleeved, sitting in t…
    in Vitamin D Comment by dovesinna
  • I'm not a Dude. And yes, I use ibruprofen from time to time when salicylic acid (aspirin) doesn't make a dent in my cramps. I know that too much ibruprofen can mess up the kidneys, just like Tylenol can do nasties to the liver. Moderation and not ex…
    in AWWW!!! FEMALES Comment by dovesinna
  • I hate to say it but....Ibruprofen helps me. I watched a news segment that said there was something in it (duh!) that affects the muscle spasms that occur during menses, particularly these muscle groups more so than your average headache or backache…

  • This is a shot in the dark but, have you recently (within the last month or so) changed your laundry detergent to something different? Sometimes that can be the culprit! Also, people who've used the same ol' stuff for years can suddenly develop a re…
    in detox symptoms Comment by dovesinna
  • www. mothernature.com.....that's the site I googled. :) Oh, and when you're close to when you THINK you're having your period, or a little late and positive it's not pregnancy, take as hot a bath as you can stand with some epsom salts swirled in wit…
  • Okay, I just cut and pasted this from some random website that popped up when I Googled: herbs for menstruation. I hope it helps. I've personally used don quai and vitex, finding both beneficial. However, licorice should be used with caution as it c…
