spirituality and food patterns- talk about something doctors never want to hear about....
i've been at least 85% raw for almost 7 years now (wow, i had to check my hands, i can't believe it's been that long) and have had 3 children along the journey. my husband leads prayer retreats, and for the first 2 retreats, someone else ran the kitchen (and i had my own private room). after 2 years of

The money thing is hard when you're trying to nourish your body and anothers. I found raw foods amazing for breastmilk though, especially fruits and greens. as long as you take your time and your body isn't fighting you with harsh detox, you won't be detoxing a lot into your breastmilk.
it wasn't hard for me to be 100% raw for the first three months or four months after giving birth, but i

Thanks for the Thieves recipes-
we have to travel this june to florida with two small children, and while i'm not paranoid about the flu and have no intentions of vaccinating with any of the questionable stuff out there- having something natural to help while crammed onto tiny airplanes with hoards of sick people recycling air... i'm glad to have something to make up and take along to help out

ooooh-
the bread thing.
i spent 5 years being told bloating, joint pain, extreme facial swelling and intestinal agony were in my head. it wasn't until i stopped listening to the doctors and started paying attention to my body that i realized that not everything was making me sick. but anything but fruit and yogurt and veggies was. once i cut out bread, i figured out how my body could stabil

coco is a wise woman.
i respect her a lot.
i totally understand not wanting to count and measure. i sure don't. if i want a bowl of tomatoes- i eat them. spinach and tomatoes- even better. i stop when i'm full even if i haven't cleaned my plate (and this was hard to learn to do) b/c i can just put it back in the fridge. but if i do eat those last five bites, i don't beat myself up either

karmele-
i think you might be greatly limited by the american definition of health and nutrition. we've only recently made nutrition a scientific thing of bits and pieces of this that fit together to make health, and most of that picture is totally blank. especially to doctors and nutritionists- check out their health sometime.

zinc-
i learned that there is a group that sterilizes dogs in mexico and new mexico with a single zinc shot to the testicles. it's a cheap, easy and 99% effective way of permanent sterilization.
i would not overconsume zinc. it's not so effective on female dogs- sometimes repeated shots are necessary- but as long as the males are all incapable, it seems to be working.
just a note.

when it's watermelon season- i never drink water.
lucky i have some cucumbers today.
but we walk so many miles a day (my little one and i are always hiking, and the tiny one rides on my back) that he is always asking for water.

yeah-
that's tough.
we decided pregnancy is awesome b/c you are pregnant. it's very sexy and fun, and the one time you are guaranteed to not get pregnant. very liberating .
i also love fat pregnancy curves.
not a total waste- i did see that cutest face in the universe (what sweet eyes and lovely teeth) but i do send sympathy your way. like getting older, pregnancy has only improve

oooooh-
busted.
we've been going back and forth on this, emailing our local town water,
trying to get cheap but relatively uncontaminated water.
we loved it when we had cool, minerally (very calcium dense) well water.
but we're no longer there.
so i guess i'm begging for a very expensive water filter for christmas.
husband swears candida comes from too much chlorine in the water.

i peeled the outer lumps first, then cut the squash along the creases, and then peeled the creases.
cut off top and little tail, peeled what came off easily, cut, and peeled again. labor intensive, but how often do we make pies? easier than pie crust.

i would look carefully at what you can eat,
and then consider what seems like it would heal you.
what your body would respond well to-
and then i would consume
what heals your body.

Our farm share has given us acorn squash for the past few weeks, and finally i braved a recipe. i was very sceptical (as was my hubby), but i made it and served it to non-raw friends and people took seconds. i only had dates and figs, otherwise i would have used dates in the crust, but the crust was really nice. i didn't buy any ingredients, but made the pie based on what i needed to use.

i figure kombucha eating off of white sugar
is similar to plants getting nourishment
from dead animals,
fecal matter,
and other stuff in the soil
and turning it into clean food for us.
the kombucha eats the sugar
and makes a bubbly beverage.

when for a year making it myself and drinking it daily
then for two years (or more?) without it at all

you can choose religious exemption even at a christian school.
traditional judaism is one of the religions opposed to blood contamination- it's biblical- so christians can reference the old testament on it. just because you disagree on an interpretation of a verse doesn't make them the right ones.
philosophical reasons
but i would claim religious- maybe more christians would look into

mama brain-
i get that so much.
my favorite part of the FAM method is the fact that you check your cervix- you get familiar with a part of your body that you can't normally see. i want to see mine sometime. i don't do temp. but i guess i can now that i'm starting to sleep more. it's crazy, when your body is thinking about ovulating, your cervix moves up, like a sunflower, and gets soft

you will have to add extra oils to the nut butters.

i hate sitting next to someone with a scented soap on their skin, covered by a scented lotion, and then some perfume, shampoo, hair product, and then detergent on their clothes. and underneath it all, i can still smell their body.
