• hi parsely! i agree that some fresh herbs are great, but not for healing purposes. i occasionally eat fresh cilantro. i love it plain, but i would never eat or use dried coriander spice. i don't believe in any medicine of any kind; herbal, holistic,…

• waterbaby: i'm really sorry, but a lot of what you put up doesn't make sense. salt is not a necessary element. sodium from fruits and veggies like celery and tomatoes are sufficient and are usable for the body. "Extracted sodium chloride, in any for…

• glad i could help! i wouldn't recommend any kind of spice or additive except for fresh cilantro, fresh dill, fresh mint, fresh basil, or fresh parsley.

• "We have a saying in the raw community about this: "If you can't make a meal of it, it is suspect at best." So, can you eat a bowl of cumin? Of course not. These spices are referred to as "excito-toxins," in that they stimulate and excite our taste …

• i'm not sure about the raw factor, but vinegar should be avoided at all costs. it's worse than drinking alcohol. it overworks your kidneys. it completely stops digestion. it's super acidic. the list goes on... "Vinegar is diluted acetic acid, common…

• hi valgal! i say fruitarian but i mean frugivore. greens are very abundant sources of minerals and are a great addition to fruit diets. greens have very little calories so when it comes to calories, i eat about 98% of them from fruits and 2% of them…

• lulushka8- i know exactly what you mean. once you take certain things out of your diet for a while and reintroduce them, you can really tell their affects. i used to think that a fruitarian diet was absolutely crazy back when i was unhealthy and i f…

• aww thanks parsley! i'm not too sure about the floating thing. i just know that nuts are in season in fall and that's the best time to eat them. i will probably eat some pistachios come this fall. freezing nuts is the best way to preserve them. in n…

  in What do you think of raw and/or roasted peanuts? Comment by kellyanne
• i agree with lulushka8. peanuts are the worst of the nuts, health wise. the best time to eat nuts/seeds are when they're in season in the fall. the oils in nuts go rancid really quick. any nut not directly from the farm in season is rancid. lulushka…

• raw food is what we're naturally supposed to eat. there is no way that raw food is harder to digest than cooked food unless you're mixing a bunch of different things and food combining horribly. magazines don't have any facts. they write what they k…

• Hi Lyn! I do agree that fats change structure when heated and are toxic. In my experience, raw overt fats are not necessary though. Fruit is mostly carbs but it does contain protein and fats. On average I get at least 30 grams of protein a day and 8…

• lobo- thanks! sounds like you're really doing good! it's definitely smart to eat all the sweet fruit you want and then eat veggies later. putting fruits on top of veggies will cause the fruits to ferment. i don't drink or eat lemons anymore, haven't…
