• Thanks guys, for all your replies. :-) Roman, I never thought of oats. I know that a bag of horse oats bought 20 years ago would sprout. But I always fed them to the chickens. LOL! None of my family or friends had yet considered juicing grasses. I’l…

• Hi Angela. Don’t let it get you down. I too am curious as to how the SAD food w/meat made you feel, specifically, did it cause a stomache ache? Intestinal disturbance?

• Here is a page that explains the rules concerning the pasteurization of almonds: http://www.almondboard.com/files/Rule.pdf The word I was looking for wasn’t ‘retailers’, it was ‘handlers’. People the government identifies as ‘handlers’ must pasteur…

• Hi shgadwa. Growers can sell raw almonds. I think it’s just businesses who meet some government entity’s definition of ‘retailer’ that aren’t allowed to. I will have to go back and research it again, but I’m pretty sure growers are allowed to sell t…

• My Mother used to have high blood pressure. Before she started taking her blood pressure pills, her blood pressure was normally showing something like 160 to 180/120. My Mom was able to stop taking her blood pressure pills after 6 weeks on an all ra…

• If you must do it, then you should do it very slowly. If you decide to go back to animal foods again, your body may have ‘forgotten’ how to digest them, and will need time to remember, and get used to it again. You should reintroduce these food item…

• My mom was on a 100% raw vegan diet for 2 months, and she said that after the first 6 weeks, she no longer got funky armpits. And she didn’t use anything as an underarm deodorant. Just washed in the bath every night. I have also read of at least one…

• Luna, damn! Your specs are quite impressive. A 50 lbs. curl? That’s on of my long term goals! :-) Yes, your avatar is your picture. Yours looks like an anime character. Nice.

• Hi Luna. It’s going great! :-) And, sort of…okay, well no. What they tell me is that you absolutely need meat to be strong and healthy. And that a hamburger or a fast food taco can be part of a healthy balanced meal. And many folks I talk to seem t…

• I’m never offended. I know that they don’t mean it in a bad way. And if I’m nice enough and patient enough with them, it can be an opportunity to help enlighten someone else about raw foods diet. It’s only when they insist that their hamburger or im…

• Home sprouting. I’m going to start growing wheatgrass and maybe barleygrass at home for use in smoothies. Also, foraging. Shazzie has a video on youtube where she goes foraging for greens. It shows the greens she pick pretty clearly, so maybe you ca…

• When I mop the floors, I usually use white vinegar and water. I always clean kitchen counters with a spray bottle of straight vinegar or a mix of 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 water (anti-bacterial). I put some vinegar in the bottom of the dishwasher. I still…
