• Megan, I wasn't aware of it's use for thinning hair. Interesting, because another thread here is on the topic. Thanks, interesting stuff.

• Goats milk is easier to digest, and I believe usually doesn't have the hormones and antiobiotics as much as cows milk (assuming the cows milk is store bought, factory farm stuff). Of course, there is rice milk (a vegan milk, if that's the way your g…

• I remeber reading so much good about it for several years (especially for women), and now I find a lot of articles saying how it isn't. Me personally, I try not to use it as a daily stable. But, when I indulge occassionally when we go out for dinner…

  in thin hair Comment by sisterbecky
• I have naturally finem and thin hair. So, I'm just going to throw out a few thoughts on the subject. Take anything helpful, ignore whatever isn't for you. It sounds like the thinning is from the hair straightening, not from a medical condition? You …

• I'll try not to beat a dead horse since you did mention not wanting to over due the fruit juice because of the sugar- but I just wanted to mention this because my pediatrician pointed it out to me when my daughter was very little. And it's to go ver…

• I get that quite a bit since I work with almost all men who are really meat and potato kind of guys. Many of them are hunters as well. But, in all honesty, at least for me, I truly believe it's just interest (in the strange food I'm eating) and just…

• I have a co worker who keeps throwing his empty cans of sardines in the trash can next to my desk. I'm not trying to be sqeemish- but that can get pretty rank after a few hours. The first day he did it I spent a few minutes "sniff testing" myself be…

• I had problems with leg cramps about two weeks into a raw month (now I fluctuate between raw and high raw). For me, I believe it was sodium. I started salting my food again, and the cramps went away. I also tend to have low blood pressue, so I don't…

• I second the suggestions of blood work and possibly taking vitamin-B suppliments. I'm wondering if it's the high raw food, or if when you cut out beans, rice, soy and wheat if you aren't missing something nutritionally. Personally, I would back off …

• Oh, a couple more thoughts- I remember reading somewhere (for what that's worth) that yeast infections (I know, you were told that's not what it is, but bacterial) usually cure themselves when you have your period. That cleans it all out. But, I gue…

  in the dreaded yeast beast Comment by sisterbecky
• You haven't changed laundry detergents lately? Or body soap? Those things can really mess you up down there. I know it sounds weird that washing too much could cause it, but I can believe that could cause the problem. It irritates sensitive areas an…

• I personally would not put a young child on an 100% raw diet. I believe the risks outway the benefit. I would DEFINATELY go high raw and whole food with a small child though. I don't mean to be a nay sayers. Just my opinion. If your child "fails to …

• As far as supplements or vitamins, when I was pregnant my midwife prescribed prenatal vitamins for me. I would just take her a nice selection of fruit (but maybe that's because that is what I would want someone to bring me. I like fruit:-) Whatever …

• It doesn't sound like you are eating very much (well, actually just drinking). Are you eating a heartier dinner maybe? Because from what you describe for breakfast and lunch, I would think the weight would be falling off. I also would have thought c…

• I would guess as far as very overweight- high raw to 100% raw I would guess no. Filling up (high raw) on all those filling fruits and veggies should keep you from way overdoing it. I would guess what is meant by overweight would be important. I pers…

• My suggestions (not really a recipe) is to try a new fruit or vegetable a couple times a week. And try mixing them up. I usually have a fruit salad for breakfast- and I try to not constantly have all the same thing. One week it might be apples, bana…

• Ps- Something RawCanadian said in his post reminded me of something I wanted to mention. The drinking of water along with wine (or mead). I have definately noticed the tend for dehydration more with mead than say beer. Well, at least for me. If you …

  in Alcohol & Raw? Comment by sisterbecky
• Kelly J., A good site to begin with if you are considering making mead is "got mead" at http://www.gotmead.com/ If some reason it doesn't work just type "got mead" into your search engine of choice. Of course, this won't work if you don't use honey-…

• Kelly J., I make homemade mead (honey wine- I'm not a strict vegan obviously) and am getting ready to make my first batch of cranberry wine. How I make my mead, it is raw. I don't boil the honey water before adding the yeast, but some people do. I i…

• Thankyou Rawaholic and Glamazon:-) I feel better about it (I really liked the hemp seeds!)

  in NUTIVA HEMP PROTEIN SHAKES Comment by sisterbecky
• Sorry if this is a bit off topic- but it is a question about hemp. A while back I bought a small container of hemp ( I think it was seed? It seemed granola like consistancy.. It wasn't powder anyways) from our local health food place. I don't recall…

• This topic made me think of a book by Dr. Andrew Weil. It was about aging- and to sum it up, more about aging gracefully. He's not a raw foodist (probably most of you are familiar with him). But, he mostly encourages a very healthy lifestyle- eating…
