  • Feel free to email me: dusky.at.dawn (at) gmail.com. I'm in my twenties, new to raw and pretty much alone in my family (although they support me, my friends think I'm a little strange). My extended family is a long line of proud Midwest cattle farme…

  • Yeah, I "inherited" a Nesco dehydrator that my family was using to dry herbs, and it's worked really well. I dry fruit, make crackers, etc. My only criticism of the Nesco: With the Nesco, there's no outer structure or "oven", you just stack the tray…

  • Get to the doctor. After a catheter, it's VERY common to get a urinary tract infection (UTI). (The catheter introduces foreign bacteria and gives a lot of surface area for bugs to grow, etc. When you add a weakened immune system during surgery, you …

  • Great comments, just to add my two cents... I find mindfulness exercises help. There are lots of interpretations/writings on "mindfulness" as a practice, but it's really at its basic level a kind of "self-radar" -- how do I feel right now? physicall…

  • I don't usually like to use whole flax, actually. In most cracker recipes you can use ground flax just fine instead of whole (no guarantee, but I've found recipes that call for whole flax, you can generally substitute -- it's all about experimentati…

  • Hmmm...I've never worried too much about how much nutrition is left in the pulp from nut milk because I use the pulp in dehydrated crackers and desserts as "flour". No waste! :)

  • If you want to find out the content of an entire recipe (including vitamins and minerals) then you can use Recipe Calculator: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp Or for regular caloric content of single foods (or lots of restaurant …
    in nutritional content? Comment by KarinaFirebreather
  • Mixed motives are standard. Raw was partly a health thing for me (I was depressed and very fatigued) and partly very much a vanity thing (my depression and fatigue always leads to weight gain because of the inactivity). I would say 50-50. Of course,…

  • The Snopes explanation is VERY important. The implications of this bill are unclear yet but much of the negative hype is untrue. The connection to Monsanto is also false, since the Rep (DeLauro) who sponsored the bill has actually no connection to t…

  • Focusing on being good to yourself is the most important thing. Don't feel self-centered for taking care of yourself. (And of course, you need to be healthy and happy to be good to your children, too!) There are some suggestions in Natalia Rose's "T…

  • I enjoy raw cacao in all its forms in moderation (a small handful of nibs, a few beans, some powder in a dessert). I don't have it every day but I do enjoy some a few times a week. I certainly don't find it has any adverse effects. I never had skin …

  • I'm glad to see a lot of people do fine dating/living with meat eaters. To be honest, I don't mind even cooking omnivore food for my long-time boyfriend (like organic white meat and vegetable dishes or vegetarian chili), because then I know he'll ea…

  • I make 'protein meal shakes' with chia seeds, and keep them in the fridge for a day or two. What I love most is the tapioca-pudding-like texture -- very satisfying! It's a great quick meal and yes, it really does stick with you! I'll use: a big glas…

  • I've found a pretty interesting resource for natural cosmetics -- Etsy, the handcrafters' marketplace. http://www.etsy.com The Bath and Beauty section has a Makeup area, where lots of different sellers have their makeup blends for sale: http://www.e…
