I read from some companies that they will only use UPS because all other carries including USPS and FedEx irradiate all of their mail. Is there anything to back this up?
I don't understand how that could be because if they are irradiating all of the mail then it would kill anything living as well as damage sensitive items like DVD's and film, etc. I had live worms shipped to me through USPS a

My friend gave me several bottles of a flax oil blend and I've had the bottles for about 6 months now, unopened. I wanted to start using them but then I looked at the expiration date and it is very close off now, just a couple of months away. These say also that they don't need refrigeration until they are opened. With flax oils being as fragile and going off so quickly, I don't even know if I ca

I remember a long time ago when I did a short 3-5 day juice fast that after a couple of days I started to feel Euphoric. I felt so light and full of energy but most of all just super positive and happy/excited. I haven't felt that in a long time. Eating raw food doesn't make me feel like that. I honestly don't feel any different when I go high raw or all raw compared to when I go back down to med

Seems standard to me. Every raw recipe book I have and every raw restaurant I've been to has dehydrated food, and 90% of the raw food items sold in Whole Foods are dehydrated foods. However, I meant when they do dehydrate, it seems the standard is to use those teflex sheets to do it. Like standard cooking for pancakes would be to use non-stick teflon fry pans.

There is something I really don't get about the raw food movement. It seems that the whole point is optimum health and to stay away from toxins. Toxins from cooked food, canned food, conventional pesticide food etc. etc.
So, why is it standard for the raw food movement to use evil DUPONT TEFLON sheets to dehydrate their food on? It wouldn't bother me so much as just puzzle me if it didn't eff

Druckerlabs wrote back and they said that the ingredients are certified organic, and the D3 is from a plant source. I know it's possible for D3 to come from a plant, but it is not common. And it doesn't mention anything on their site about organically grown or certified. It all sounds good, but it is unnerving having only some sales person word on it, believing they know what they're talking abou

So, I wrote to the Synergy Company, and this product is NOT vegetarian. The vitamin D comes from lanolin. The rest are synthetic.
So, I'm still looking for a good organic Vegan multi with good quantities of vitamins. So far it seems like it doesn't exist. Are there not any natural multi's that are grown on nutritional yeast as opposed to synthetic? I'm not interested in all the extras and her

Yeah, that's what they mean, they don't mean organically grown. Although they do claim that it is "pesticide free". Thanks for the warning on the Vitamin D.
Thanks flex4life. That is exactly the kind of product I was looking for. I forgot about that company. Although I do wish it was 100% organic, I don't think there is anything out there like that. It's only made with organic ingre

Have any of you tried or heard of this organic Multi?
Supposedly it's organic in the sense of inorganic/organic, not organically grown. I would love to find a multi that was both kinds of organic. But the fact that it is organic supposedly means that it is absorbable and useful like plant food as opposed to all the multi's and vitamins that are synthetic.

I have one of those Automatic Freshlife sprouter things. I haven't used it yet. I'm looking into growing wheatgrass hydroponically with the Ocean Water. All of the instructions tell you to buy these trays with lids and use the paper towel method, however I would like to know if I can just use the automatic sprouter. I know it says that you can grow wheatgrass in it, but it looks like such a small

I used to use Dr. Bronner's for the shower exclusively for the past 10 years. I'm looking for something new though because the stuff totally ruins the tile and leaves white stains everywhere. It's also pretty drying. Good price though and very simple and pure.

When you buy new running shoes do you really notice the smell of them? I bought some from Earth Shoes, but obviously there is not much different with them and others as the smell when I got them was SOOOOO strong. I put them on the patio to air out for a couple of days but they still smell. I hate that there are no non-toxic alternatives for good athletic shoes that are not so chemical and plasti

I have this large bump on the roof of my mouth just behind my right front tooth. It is really big and round and feels swollen. It is sore if I press my tongue into it. It just popped up. It is the size of a cranberry. I have no idea what it is or what caused it. It is making it difficult to talk and is uncomfortable. I can't even close my mouth without my tongue feeling it.

Whenever I am exposed to anyone coughing or sick, immediately I get a reaction in my throat where it swells up and is tight and painful. It could be psychosomatic, who knows, but I absolutely feel it and experience it every time. Does this happen to you has this happened to you? What do you do about it? I feel like it's my bodies reaction to immediate exposure/defense. I sprayed some garlic juice

I have different mental disorders I struggle with and whenever I try to go really high raw or all raw they seem to get worse and magnified. I don't know if it has to do with a chemical thing - with being even more deficient in certain nutrients or if it is just because of detox and feeling more, being more self-conscious without dulling the senses with an overload of comfort food and starch etc.

Thanks for the advice and tips. I've tried oil pulling before for a couple weeks and didn't notice anything from it, not even whiter teeth like everyone claims. Maybe I'll try it again. I was just reading about it a little bit ago though and read that it was causing a lot of people to have even more sensitive teeth after doing it for a while, which scared me off from it. It made me think that per

My teeth are really sensitive right now. I can't get them fixed for a little while longer but I suspect they are sensitive because of cavities. The sensitivity is on and off, but sometimes it is very painful when eating.
What are foods that I should stick to and foods that I should avoid? Obviously besides for how the food effects my teeth I also still need to eat a diet that is filling enoug

This is just an analogy. Kind of curious what people would choose.
If you only had 3-6 months to live possibly, would you still eat all raw? Or would you eat whatever you wanted to eat, whenever you wanted, regardless of whether it is raw or not, or whether it is all that healthy or not?
Perhaps, say it was that you had to have this lifesaving surgery to be scheduled in 3-6 months and the

Do you think there is much EMF from Cardio Machines? Whenever I go on the cardio machines - elliptical or treadmill at the gym, I feel very strange afterwards. Like my legs feel kind of numb and I feel this off-balance and weird energy running through my legs. For a while, there were times when I would leave the gym and just feel totally exhausted and brain fog, unclear thinking. I was worried th

Thanks David. Yeah, the way I look at it is that it is one of my vices, but I'm doing so many other things right, and I am recycling them. I try to eat as local as possible with only a few exceptions like bananas and some other things. I rarely buy coconuts anymore. It's strange that water is what s picked on out of the entire beverage industry.

53. Water Dilemmas
Everyone has a different idea about what is the ideal water to drink, what they are willing to drink etc. Lots of people will just drink tap water and think nothing of it. They think that bottled water is just a scam, and that all water is water. As long as you live in a good country with "safe" drinking water, it is therefore safe to drink, and you should not destroy the environment by

What is povidone Iodine?
Really I'm more concerned with weather I should use a bandaide or not. It's like a quarter of an inch wide. Kind of red under the skin and looks wet around the edges - like a clear fluid. It's right under the knuckle of my left middle finger. I'm more interested in preventing bad bacteria from getting on my skin or in my blood then trying to kill it once it is there. E

I'm a little freaked out about all the news and reports of staph infections and all that stuff. They always talk about open cuts being the most dangerous. So as long as you don't have any open cuts or scraps and wash your hands non-stop, your risks are much lower.
However, I am always scraping or getting cuts and nicks on my hands. Just seems to always happen to me. Not from knives very much,

I was eating a few cashews from this box of them I had on my desk. It was at night and the lighting was very dim. Then with one of them I either tasted or felt something odd. I don't remember, cause of all my mental anguish afterwards. But I looked down and on the other half of the cashew and on my finger was this stringy web like thing.

I don't eat buckwheat at all. The hulls or the greens.
Anyways, the hand shaking thing I believe is due to either the things the person was touching, the chemicals and fragrances in their hand soap and lotion, perfumes they add to their hands, or maybe a chemistry reaction. That's why it only happens with some people and not others. Either way, I am grossed out by the extremely unsanitary and

Thanks Gypsy. I believe that too. It felt weird all the way up until I went to bed last night, but it was pretty much gone by the next day. I think I just have super sensitive skin, especially on my hands. So I'm always paranoid about things on my hands. I especially hate shaking people's hands. I usually always end up with a burning sensation on my hands afterwards, depending on the person. Even
