  • I believe the concern about b-12 is mostly for raw vegans (whether you are raw or not). B-12 is mostly found in meat and dairy. Vegan food can be fortified with B-12 too. But, if your eating only raw (not eating fortied food) you won't be getting B-…
    in Can anyone help me improve my raw diet / offer suggestions? Comment by sisterbecky
  • My guess would be with what Aviatrix mentioned- tummy's just not use to so much fiber and roughage. Especially if you haven't eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables before going raw.

  • Take her some tea (like the ginger, or peppermint that someone already suggested). That would be my guess. Or, send it to her if she is too far away. Just knowing that someone cares is more important than anything imho. Though I tend to think "we" a…
    in Friend with breast cancer at 30 years of age, want to help but she's doing chemo Comment by sisterbecky
  • Hi Parsley, I think all the suggestions so far are good- drinking (for me ginger tea, I believe some one already mentioned that). Definately sleep! Your body needs some time and a good environment to heal itself. For me, when I get this kind of thin…
    in Sick with the flu, what would you do? Comment by sisterbecky
  • Bluebell, I'm not sure how accurate this is, but I have heard that just having bread and water will constipate you. I saw you cut out the bread (probably because of the raw diet?). Anyway- I had heard that in connection to why when military people u…
    in How to make religious fasting easier on raw? Comment by sisterbecky
  • Hi Carnap, I wish you the best on your spiritual fast. I have a friend who's husband is Muslim, and I believe she said that he would traditionally break his fast with dates. I don't know if this was because of were he was from (Lebanon originally, n…

  • Hi Zin, Just adding another perspective here. As many have said- it really is up to you to decide what you feel is worth compromising over, and what YOU can live with. Whether it's food choices, or erotic/porn. To me, a big red flag would be if your…
    in How Could He?!!!! Relationship advice PLEASE!!! Comment by sisterbecky
  • I just wanted to add some thoughts on this post in case someone stumbles across it someday. These are thoughts from my personal experience, and not medical advise. Eating right, exercise, meditation and such can really effect your emotional state. M…

  • Though I don't think you MUST have grains, I agree with Sweetpea's ideas on grains. I completely ruled out grains for several months and went back to adding some into my diet. Grains getting a terrible rep (imho) because of the type of grains people…
    in Grains - Do i need them??? Comment by sisterbecky
  • Thank you Valeria, I will give it a try (probably the sofa idea).
    in Varicose Veins Comment by sisterbecky
  • I know this is an old thread- but I'm hoping to get some more thoughts on varicose veins. I've been having some burning (only slight, not as painful as it sounds) in my legs and finally noticed what looks like some mild varicose veins starting up. I…

  • Something to remember: Vitamin b-12 deficiency takes years (even a decade or more) to show symptoms some times. That would make we take "long time raw foodists" statistics with a grain of salt (sea salt maybe). How long is their long time? People de…
    in B12 in the raw Comment by sisterbecky
  • I just wanted to add some things for thought- some of them have already been mentioned, some not. I don't think it's safe to assume because you eat healthy that you can not get diseases. There is more to cancers and STD then just diet. Please do not…
    in HPV Vaccine - Need advice!!! Comment by sisterbecky
  • Wanna B raw- I eat more often now that I'm eating mostly raw fruits and vegetables. (I'm high raw, not 100%) My co workers think it's a bit strange (well, a few of them) because I will usually have something every few hours (even if it's simply a ba…
    in Additional protein and iron sources Comment by sisterbecky
  • I'm not going to get into the whole protein myth discussion- to each her or his own. I personally do find that sometimes I feel a need for "something else" because I seem hungry, etc. For me, avocadoes, chickpeas and using olive oils on my salads se…
