• Hmm you could just add extra bell pepper i find that it is the best for going well with tomato type sauces and thickens it up. Depends if you have access to a blender or are doing this by hand. If you have a blender i suppose you could add any thick…

• I don't think its the bell pepper, as im only high raw i make vegan soups in my vitamix and it always happens with the tomatoes. Infact ive found that adding a bell pepper reduces the frothyness/bubbles alot. I might try stabbing the tomato with a …

• This used to always happen with me and tomatoes are the culprit. It depends on the tomato your using and how much water they contain. In which case don't add any or much extra water if your doing that already. It took me a while to get the hang of …

• Magnesium can help because it relaxes blood vessels, the best type are the acidified versions such as magnesium malate/citrate or magnesium oil. Dont use oxide as its caustic and neutralizes stomach acid. Amla

• They aren't liquid though which i guess is needed to mix and harden to make a bar/cake type consistency.

• I guess some of these thicker sweeteners are needed for raw sweets and cakes to thicken them up. I haven't used yacon but like the sound of it if i ever was to make any raw gourmet meal. I don't really eat anything like that, i tend to keep my sweet…

• Hey:), make sure your consuming adequate calories, a broadscope of different fruits so your getting different nutrients. Im not a great believer in 100% fruitarian long term as it can be deficient in certain nutrients so take care. Amla

• Im not a great fan of fasting in general mate, i believe food, herbs etc can take care of any issue that is needing healing. Where the hair loss is happening can be a big clue, if it is thinning on top then it could be a lack of iodine/thyroid issu…

• I forgot to say you mentioned flax seed oil in your post if it was a thyroid issue/low iodine that is the cause of your hair loss then id avoid flax as its a potent goitrogen(interferes with iodine uptake) and a strong phyto-estrogen also.  

  in I can't take it anymore (80/10/10) Comment by powerlifer
• I cant chime in for the rest but the hair loss i have some experience of, do you consume adequate iodine, if the soil where you live or produce is coming from is depleted your likely low to deficient on a raw/vegan diet if you aren't consuming seawe…

• Perhaps revert back to a cooked vegan diet for abit and see if its a pyschological thing or if your body really is rejecting or having trouble with the amount of raw food. You can always keep the percentage of raw food high. Juicing For Health

• Bitter herbs are pretty horrible tasting but they are one of the best supplements for poor digestion, not only that they are the best tool for cleansing the liver.
