here's a good comprehensive article on kombucha: they seem to think it's best to use regular tea. I personally use a mixture of green tea and rooibos to limit the caffeine. so does rooibos have nitrogen?

632. Re: Minimum Fruit Based Diet

I don't know how it's possible to have a low fruit/low fat diet without restricting your calories. It'll be interesting to see if anyone has any ideas. If you want to add any grains, I've been enjoying kamut grains lately. They're tasty and easy to prepare - just soak overnight, drain the next morning, then keep rinsing/draining for a couple of days, let them sprout if you like, or just eat

633. Re: I am losing all my hair!!

I have never had much problem with this, but I did notice that when I went 6 months without using any chemicals on my hair (shampoo, hair dye, products etc) I experienced hardly any hair loss when washing/brushing my hair. I recently started using shampoo again and got highlights, and I've noticed some hair loss. Not enough to be worried; only as much as I always had - ya know, the hair in the

hey Ram (: I didn't know rawberry was a fasting retreat... I wouldn't be keen on that myself... I like to fast when my body says, not when someone else says (: I'd love to go to Detox you world, but it's sooo expensive. I just haven't got the money at the moment. And if I did, I'd use it to go to the ACL music festival in Austin (:

639. Re: hair care

Drinking Kombucha tea (or washing the hair with it) is supposed to be very good for the hair. I'm very interested in the henna - esp the neutral one. Does it not cause any colour change? And with the coloured henna - isn't it really messy to apply? That's what I've heard. And how about the roots? I'd love to start using it but I'm not very good at doing colours myself, I always go to the

640. Re: Want to Go Raw..on a Budget

It's also worth remembering factors like: less days off work due to illness....cost of medicines... and other stuff 'ordinary' people spend a lot of money on, like alcohol, cigarettes, fancy toiletries etc. it's good to take the whole lifestyle into account, not just the food.

wow luna, that is great news about your doctor!! Brill! yes, I think the internet plays a HUGE part in this lifestyle. I've been raw 3 years and still never met a 'real life' rawbie (apart from the person who introduced me to the lifestyle, and I myself wasn't raw then of course). But I know lots and lots of wonderful rawbies, due to the power of the internet! However, i am due to meet m

I'm out in my garden the minute I see the sun come out! I"m addicted! pre raw I used to burn really easily (I have fair celtic skin) but now I go a lovely golden colour, and never burn, even though I don't use sunscreen. (i'm sensible though - I wouldn't go out for hours during the hottest part of the day, for example) I seem to remember that our bodies can store vit D over the winter

656. Re: girls, a question for you.

cdf - don't be embarrassed! I think it's wonderful that you are supporting your wife by enquiring about stuff like this! from what I've seen on forums such as these, it is more common to get less frequent periods when going raw. However, as luna said, it will probably just balance out in time. All kinds of weird things seem to happen as our bodies adjust! Also, the general consensus

657. Re: Too Skinny

when cooked, I used to have to snack all the time - if I didn't I'd get that weak dizzy feeling - I was always 'starving'! but after adapting to the raw diet, I find that I can go a long time without feeling hungry. I think it was all the cooked carbs - bread, pasta etc - that made me need to eat all the time. Getting energy in the form of nice simple glucose seems a far more efficient way to e

Hi Mark I find it depends also on the size of the container you are processing the culture in. My first time I used a 4 litre pot... I waited.. and waited... I thought it wasn't working... but eventually, after about a month, there was a decent sized 'baby' on the top. When i tried the drink, it tasted wonderful - like champagne! it was just perfect. However, when I use a 1 litre pot, it onl
