I made a whole bunch of amaranth greens juice and it's definitely making my heart pound, so I don't recommend it. Must be the oxalic acid or other elements. Also gave me a headache!

Do you think amaranth greens are good to eat and juice, or do they have too much oxalic acid?

veronique, I know a dealer if you need one.
sunshine79, that's a great point. However I have to say that cooked chocolate which I was eating occasionally a few years ago never made me feel the same as raw chocolate which I was eating around the same time. I believe there are toxic elements in raw (fermented) cacao that are destroyed in the cooking/processing of it.
Cheers,

Hi mark58,
I just wanted to clarify that when I originally wrote that buckwheat sprouts are starchy, I was referring to the seed sprouted or soaked and eaten whole. These are very starchy. This is different from buckwheat greens (grown from that seed) which are leafy and starchless.
Cheers,
LTF
P.S. Technically speaking there may be a bit of starch in the stem of buckwheat greens (

There's this funny scene in the Woody Harrelson documentary "go further" where the conventional eating young guy that goes along for their all-raw bus tour suddenly eats a chocolate bar after eating all-raw for a couple of weeks. The next day he describes the effect it had on him and he's like, "Dude, that chocolate made me crazy!!" That scene was priceless.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the link. Arnold writes in a very entertaining way.
Narz,
I felt the effects of the cacao within an hour or two. At that time I felt quite buzzed, with a feeling of omnipotence that in the back of my mind I knew was due to the cacao. However, 10 hours later I didn't feel "good" anymore, only that my perceptions were way off. I also felt uneasy. I am extr

So I went to a restaurant this afternoon and had a cacao smoothie. Some 10 hours later, I definitely don't feel like myself... I feel like my perceptions are distorted, but not in a good way.
What is up with that?
BTW, I was always extremely sensitive to "recreational drugs" in my previous (pre-raw) life.

Hi Mark,
After a quick scan of your diet, I would highlight the following suspects as contributing to the phlegm:
Sprouted legumes: mung beans, alfalfa, lentils. Definitely lentils as they are starchy.
High oxalic acid greens (beet greens, swiss chard)
Starchy seed (buckwheat)
Sprouted grain
Do you use any form of salt at all, such as tamari/nama shoyu, unrinsed seaweed? These could

It's possible that the cleansing from the fruit is carrying out older toxins in a "medium" of mucous.
I have experienced this.

1) > sprouted grains?
Yes. The starch they contain is mucous-forming, even when raw.
2) > sprouted seeds?
Depends on which seed. Buckwheat and other starchy seeds would be mucous-forming, while less starchy seeds would create little to no mucous.
3) > avocado?
It is a fruit, and not mucous-forming.

This is mucus protection from something less-than-ideal that you are eating. This exact same thing happens to me, and I've observed this for years. I don't recall it ever happening before raw though. I think the body's primal intelligence becomes more active when we are raw and it starts to quickly identify harmful things and creates mucus to eliminate them.

To borrow Gosia's analogy...
If you bang your head against the wall every day, your body gets used to it to the point where it adjusts to the banging, maybe making your skull thicker so you don't feel it. So every day you can bang your head against the wall, and you don't notice it and everything is fine. Then if you stop banging your head against the wall for a few months, your body relaxes

Hi Jeff,
Sprouted legumes (raw) are controverial. Some say sprouting makes them safe to eat, however I think that article was saying they must be sprouted THEN COOKED to be safe to eat. For example, the Weston Price group believes that grains must be fermented before you cook them.
The thing to realize is that if you are transitioning, even sprouted legumes are better than cooked food. I

Congrats on going raw. Sprouted raw chickpeas are toxic (see below). Everything else in your diet sounds great.
