• Before I went raw, on reading all the books and reports I formed very high expectations that I will have absolutely no kind of sickness if I go raw. However, I have had several occurrences of flu and cold this winter - probably a bit more often than…

• Most of the vitamin D3, these days, come from sheep's wool - that's sheared from their body. (Most of us go for a haircut from time to time). So, by PETA's standards this would be ok, by vegan and raw standards - probably not ok.

• I tend to soak only what I would need pretty soon - next day or two. Of course, that means more planning and more work. When I store them I noticed that if they are not dried properly, they tend to go bad in less than 3 days.

• I drink all kinds of organic and herbal teas, but then I am not 100% raw, anyway. I don't think Pukka brand sells in Canada - I've never seen it. Btw, apart from Whole Foods, Superstore also has a wide variety of organic teas, quite often on sale. V…

• I also remembered that when I started out I used a lot of nuts. I would make nut milk and all the text book recipes tend to use a lot of nuts. That used to cause a lot of bloating and burping. If you are doing the same, you can consider cutting down…

• First of all, nutrition alone is not going to fix stress related issues - for that you probably need exercise and meditation along with good food. You are probably not taking enough greens. I make a blender full of green smoothie in the morning - lo…

• It might be a good idea to just wash the insides of your mouth with plain water after you eat anything anytime. Check out oilpulling.org. As suggested before, sesame oil probably works best. According to some people it even fixes cavities gradually.…

• I use these seeds and their sprouts. Thanks, I will also try milk from them. Do I need to first soak and sprout them before blending them into milk or should I just use the dry seeds directly in the blender like raw cashew and almonds?
