  • TreeOfLife – One of my favorite drinks is a tablespoon each of powdered chlorella and spirulina in water. I drink it all of the time. I guess you either love it or you don’t. They make tablets too, so that you can get the nutrients and bypass the ta…
  • I have had digestive issues, but don’t think they have achieved the level of outright IBS. That being said, I would check out, research and incorporate green smoothies into your diet as a good jumping off point. There are wonderful recipes on this s…
  • I just got a Blendtec and it is awesome. Here’s where I got it: http://www.2-life.com/site/blender_reviews.html Great prices and great customer service. Here’s also a great article re: blending vs. juicing. http://www.aquarius-atlanta.com/feb06/youa…
  • Sure you can – just phase in slowly. Eat some cooked food, but see if you can incorporate one or two green smoothies into your daily regime. Beyond the food prep for others, the smoothies will be something you’ll do just for you. Lots of great recip…

  • Two great books you might want to check out (both available at Amazon): Confessions of a Body Builder, Rejuvenating the body with Spirulina, Chlorella, Raw Foods & Ionized Water by Bob McCauley Raw Power! Building Strength and Power Naturally by…

  • James – You might want to check out this site and see what Storm has to say. http://www.thegardendiet.com/storm.html He speaks specifically about eating lots of fats at one point and shows pictures of him bulkier and later pics when he thinned out h…
  • YES – I have Level I which I have used with good effect. Better sleep, calmer etc. I haven’t used them in a while, but came across something more economical and in my opinion, really good: http://www.eocinstitute.org/category_s/52.htm It is called t…
  • nycgrrl – you might want to buy yourself a jar of coconut oil and incorporate that into your daily diet. Something about it is just soothing and nurturing. Also, I sleep like a brick and have been eating really well and I’ve encountered the specter …
  • I use ORAMD. Developed by two dentists, it is the oil of spearmint, peppermint and almond and kills all mouth bacteria. Great for the gums as well. The oil gets in all of the nooks and crannies between the teeth.
  • I love me some lentils. I get Beanie’s Awesome Mix from the SproutPeople (www.sproutpeople.com – great website, service and product). Here are the ingredients: Green, Marrowfat & Yellow Peas, Crimson, Eston, Green & Red Chief Lentils, Beige …
  • Don’t forget about the fabulous RHIO… Great website: http://www.rawfoodinfo.com/ Great book: Hooked on Raw

  • I use a product called ORAMD. It is a small vial containing the oils of almond, spearmint and peppermint. I believe it was developed by two dentists and that oil combo kills all mouth bacteria. The oil allows it to get and stay in all of the crevice…

  • Dr. Bronner’s soap – in every “flavor” they make. The label alone is priceless…
  • Justine – I raw juice fast several times a year and just finished a 40 day raw juice fast. There are two schools of thought here. One obviously feels you need them. The other – I think, but not sure, school is the school of natural hygiene, which sa…
  • Carrie6292 – When I juice fast, I tend to juice what I am “hungry” for foodwise. There was one two week fast I did where I wasn’t hungry, but craved the groundedness of “beef” type items. What to do? I ended up juicing A LOT of garlic, onion, kale a…

  • KAIT - I just finished a 40 raw juice fast last month. Feel phenomenal. Here is a great website – www.fasting.com. It is run by Dennis Paulson and he basically provides supervised fasting programs (wow, modern technology, justify my love!). I have n…

  • I found that eating a side plate of radishes (especially with dinner – whatever it is that you are having) has been really helping me to keep the belly fat down/off. I wake up feeling “lean and thin” instead of “thick” – if that makes sense. Also – …
  • Another great one: Kundalini Yoga for Beginners with Ana Brett and Ravi Singh. Very spine oriented and also has the Tibetan Five Rites on it. Good stuff! Enjoy!

  • Queenfluff – check out this website: www.lazaris.com Tons of books, tapes and articles to help you out. Great stuff. Best – Susie
  • Teade – I agree, don’t be too hard on yourself. I am an on and off smoker. I just did a 40 raw juice fast and…wait for it…smoked a couple of cigs a day. It’s just the way it was… Looking into it and reading about the tobacco cultivar plant and speak…

  • I’ve never had alopecia, but have used this product with good result: Viviscal. Google it or find it explained in great detail here: www.viviscalhair.com I seem to recall reading in Eating For Beauty (by David Wolfe) that hair loss is a product of l…
  • cal – When I want to eat that way – I focus on blender greens – 1 dark green leaf of choice (usually kale) and 1 fruit of choice (usually apple) WITH spirulina and chlorella. Sometimes just the algae powder in water (it is an acquired taste fo’sho’)…
  • Bitt is right. Sorry about that – what I meant was, if you happen to fall back, don’t beat yourself up about it – just keep trying. I am a firm believer in all things green smoothie – I think those will really help you saraw.
  • I would immediately incorporate a green smoothie or two into your daily diet. Your body is looking for something. So, get the green going
  • gorawmom – to soothe nerves and feel calm, connected and centered, there is nothing better than a daily dose of spirulina and/or chlorella. You can buy it in tablet form (if not fond of taste) or powdered form (to add to smoothies) – it is cost-effe…

  • One more thing – Brian – I was thinking of getting a Blentec. How do you like it so far?
  • It does sound like you got some Mustard greens. So, you basically got a wasabi nasal cleaning thing going on there…ouch! Mustard goes well if you are making it more a veggie than a fruit smoothie. I would add avocado, as the fat goes well with the m…
  • shrk_byte – I start sampling mine about 7 days in – at that point I can actually taste the tea and sugar – which I do not like. I sometimes go beyond the 14 days as well, depending on the weather, to get the fizz and tart just right. Thanks for the …
  • emmie21 – I love kombucha but always strain out the slime. I’ve caught a mouthful once or twice and it was not pleasant! Marjorie – I have been making my own kombucha for years. I love it and usually have about four jars brewing at any given time. H…
