I feel they are bought, just like politicians and all the rest... They aren't interested in protecting us, just how much $$$ they can rake in.

Just my personal opinion...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[When I first learned about MSG and the other names it falls under, I went through my pantry and found over half of my foods contained MSG. I got rid of all of those products immediately. I am so disappointed with our FDA (Food and Drug Administration.). They really should be protecting the population much better than they have. 

I just emailed both companies. Curious to see what they say. I'll let you know.  Here is a list of ingredients (supposedly all of them) in Rice Dream that I took a picture of.

      <description><![CDATA[wow, you might get hungry, all that time without much fruit, if I were you I'd try and take some if it's possible, or let them know about your diet so they can provide some for you.  Dried fruit (you could soak it once you got there) and lara bars would be useful, but fresh would of course be better.

have a great time :)]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[[color=green]Hi Arrow,
Wow, you have a lot of talents and a lot of options in front of you. :-) As a fellow musician and visual artist with a strong inclination toward spiritual healing myself (for awhile I was a healer on the Distant Healing Network online, and now I'm performing music), I'd definitely have to say follow that passion! Sometimes the creative fields take a little more discipline and ingenuity, but it's well worth it for those of us who are of that bent.[/color]]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[[color=blue]Hi soulglow!

Ahhhh, I've been there too. When I first went raw I'd be soooo good, and then I'd have some candy... or I'd break down and have something really starchy at a salad bar... and so on and so on. 

Don't be hard on yourself. Go easy on yourself, but at the same time, figure out your battle plan for overcoming temptation the next time. Think about how much you want to keep that glowing, sculpted look and that beautiful, vibrant energy, and let that become more important than giving in to the taste of food. Also, have a gradual detoxification plan, because the more we detoxify our bodies, the less likely we are to go back to SAD foods.

You'll get there again, and you'll even surpass where you were before your little mis-step. You can do it![/color]]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[[color=navy]Clairebear--

When we go camping (hubby and self) for 10-14 days at a stretch on an isolated island, we take nuts, chocolate nibs, dried fruit, Lara bars (or similar), and sometimes I take dehydrated improvised salad fixings, like dried parsley and celery, sundried tomatoes, plus avocadoes (I wrap them in foil; even I'm not exactly sure why!, lol), onions (they keep well), seaweed (dulse is the only type I like) and lemon juice or raw vinegar-- nice in the evening. I've experimented with adding dried daikon to salad too-- interesting. (You can get it at Japanese food stores.) We've been camping every summer since 1992 on this island, and have experimented with a lot of things; this is what we've come up with that works for us. Of course the first couple of days we can feast on fresh fruit, but after that it really has to be dehydrated or relatively imperishable things.

When I camp and I want to avoid food and just fast, I either do spring water or I'll take some bottles of organic bottled lemon juice and agave nectar (not raw, but there really is no alternative when camping) and just have lemonade for the duration. Even lemons will start to get moldy after a few days, so that's out.[/color]]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Thanks everyone for this detailed analysis and supportive suggestions.
The worms are thread worms, don't know their medical name, long and skinny. I went back there today to ask questions but he wasn't in I will call tomorrow. Checking his supplements and servings I would need 2 times the amount not including the food I need to buy, nearly $600 for 30 days treatment.
The doctor suggested pancreas and liver stress, needing strengthening of digestive and circulatory system. No peppermint.
He definitely said to avoid high glycemic fruits and use cooked sweet potatoes or yams instead (for calories), however like you said, these things also become sugar in the body! So I too am confused.
He suggested exercise, rebounding or skipping rope to help the lymphs, drink more distilled water and add more minerals to it. He also suggest washing foods with H2O2, wear gloves while gardening and don't go barefoot. 
Increase good fats and Omega 3's, and take steam baths. To drink parsley/ spinach, carrot, cucumber and celery juice (1pt) 2 times a day.
He provided me with a fresh food plan for 30 days, including 7 day juice feast, and 3 days in a row liver/ gallbladder cleanse. (Can I use lecithin granules instead of olive oil?) And strict food combining. i.e. never mix sweet fruits with acid ones.
The only fruits he recommended are lemons/ limes/ grapefruit/ papaya/ pineapple/ prune/ apple/ grape/ orange and watermelon.
Not meaning to gripe, even as miserable as I am, these protocols are expensive where I live on a tropical island, we do not get cheap food, unless you grow your own. The supplements are all imported so their prices are out of my reach, as I am currently under-employed.
When I posted about anemia before he said that the worms could be the reason why I have so little energy. I am still so confused, getting healthy is so expensive, I have to blame myself of course for getting into this condition in the first place. This is overwhelming and in a way I wish I'd never gone but I felt so bad and weak.
I bought a 1oz formula for worms, alcohol free, with green hull of black walnut, wormwood, clove and quassia. It $14 and based on my weight it suggest 1.5 dropperful 2 x per day. I already half way through the bottle in 4 days of use.
I got to get off my pity pot, it's not helping my spirits at all. I pray, pray, pray for the right solution.
Any one healed themselves of these things on a budget? Could I manage a water fast only, would it help, it would certainly be cheap.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The part that you are concerned about, the Drum &amp; Guide sells for around $20.00. Not that much of a replacement cost really, although if it were to break I suppose other parts could be stressed/broken as well in the process. 

I don't know if the Omega single auger juicers are stronger in this area or not.
A few on here have an Omega, I believe Wheatgrass Yogi is one. You might also want to watch some youtube vids on the other models to see if they flex while feeding food into them. 

Here is a review site that I found helpful when making my decision.

* Hopper position on the TOP of the machine like the JL juicer, for more satbility (Even though it doesn't require alot of pressure, I don't like putting ANY force down on that plastic attachment on the end of the Samson, but sometimes I have to push hard to get pieces through that get stuck in the tiny shoot)

Thanks so much helping me with my search.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Update! 

I figured a way to make this work for me. I remember back to my &quot;SAD&quot; days...I used to love eating stuffed peppers, cooked of course. So I figured, why not RAW? So, I did this;

1 green bell pepper
diced tomato
diced onion
diced celery
finely chopped alfalfa sprouts
finely chopped broccoli sprouts
small piece of chopped garlic
a bit of cayenne pepper
dribble of flax oil (for chew-ability)! ;)


YUM!!! 

If the cucumber is the gorilla sandwich, then this must be the King-Kong sandwich! lol

I cut the top off the pepper like you would a pumpkin, stuffed it full, then replaced the top! Can't wait to eat it at work, since people think I am nuts already with the smoothies/juices I bring in!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[If I recall correctly...I believe it is because greens are such powerful diuretics, parsley especially. They flush toxins quickly, so that much of a flush in the bloodstream can be hard on the body - I know, because when I first switched to vegan/juicing years ago, I did it cold turkey, &amp; also did a lot of the green juices, not knowing the effects back then.

I felt very out of sorts for many months as I plodded along, trying to get well, not knowing all along that I was so toxic. BTW, greens will give you plenty of energy as well. After you are acclimated to this type of eating for awhile, you could increase the amount of green juice. 

I will not drink a full glass of greens, but I will go up to 1/2 or maybe more, making the rest carrot, apple, etc.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[These problems and conflicts are internally-generated.
In other words, they're based on the way you think
about yourself.  A change in thinking will result in
different behaviors and (subsequently) emotions that 
correspond with those behaviors.  

This is why &quot;Faking it 'til you make it&quot; works.  Our 
behaviors lead to what we feel.  And, in reality, 
you're not really &quot;faking it&quot; in the first place; 
but, actually, you're being more authentic.

I do not agree that standards are &quot;too high&quot; unless
those standards are either unhealthy or impossible. 
Being 100% RAW, for example, is not impossible, but
if your reasoning for why a person wants to be that
way is unhealthy, then maybe one's motives ought to 
be examined.  

And speaking of examining one's motives, why is it
that you're &quot;falling off the wagon&quot; in the first 
place?  What are you trying to prove to yourself
by falling off the wagon?  

I do think that's good advice (from above) to focus on
the positive.  And I'd say that a mature, responsible,
self-accepting, and self-respectful person would repeatedly
ask his- or herself: &quot;What's good in my life?  and &quot;What 
needs to be done?&quot;  

Notice how the tone of those two questions is quite 
different from: &quot;Help!!! falling off the wagon!!!&quot;

I also think it's good advice (from above) &quot;The more you 
practice, the easier it will become. Each off-the-wagon 
experience is a potential learning experience, if you 
can figure out the lesson and remember it.&quot;  The key
here is to learn, not to be perfect all the time.  

Mostly, I think these conflicts involve shame and fear.
More specifically, shame covered up by fear.  Fear of
what?  Of being authentic.  

When the truth is that most of us have nothing to be
ashamed of and little to be fearful of.  When you 
integrate that into your life you'll truly be on the 
path to emotional and psychological freedom. And that's
a FUN and exciting place to be!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[With all that I posted above, I forgot to say that it can be very helpful to draw a line in the sand somewhere whenever you happen to be eating cooked food.  Then you won't feel quite so bad the next day.  I think a good [i]first[/i] line is staying vegan.

If you're already doing that successfully, then maybe you're ready to draw a new line - like say - no bread or baked foods.  Then later, no grains at all.  Eating a lot of steamed veggies feels a lot better the next day than eating a lot of grains!
 
Gradually you'll lose the feeling that you need to have anything cooked at all.]]></description>
