i ate raw with no supplements and had very high iron levels (between 13 and 15) even right after giving birth, which is a time when many women who eat 'healthy' still get anemic.
it's the processed foods that leach things from your body that can affect anemia. spinach and other veggies have kept me pretty good for a long time. but when i want spinach, i got out and get it.

i've been wanting oranges and this week i decided i was going to get them, and go figure, 4lbs of organic was $3.49, and that was cheaper than the two for $1.19 on the non-organic. HUH?
so i got oranges. we shop Market Basket. and the organic oranges there this week was $3.49. it's not a good selection. but it's all i know. i can't wait til the 8lb bags are back in for $4.

actually, i think they might. i can't remember how long it takes, but you want them still a little soft so i'd think six hours would be about perfect.
i froze one this afternoon too!! i've taken to freezing whichever half a banana my little guy doesn't want, so that i can have my own treats.
and this has become one of my favorites.

how horrible! this is becoming so common, i've heard of it a lot lately.
why are his teeth so bad? i would cut all sugar from his diet, and make veggies his chief snack, and give his body time to heal. he's so young. this is so horrible and should not really happen.

it doesn't make the kitchen smell vinegary. but the large glass jar on top of the fridge with the 'mushroom' growing on it does tend to get funny responses from roommates. i had one lady we were living with call it my 'science experiment.'
i'd make my own again if i started drinking it. it tastes different, stronger, and it feels better to me.

dates, walnuts, and raw cacao powder.
grind them up in either the vitamix or the champion (i don't own anything but my omega, and i use it for EVERYTHING), leaving some of the walnuts chunky. form into a cake.
i've seen icings with raw cashews and honey (whipped with water i believe).
this date cake is a hit with everyone. it is chewy, caramel-chocolatey, all raw, and feels great!

LOL! it's tangier and bubblier when you make it yourself. you can use it like vinegar on salads when it gets really funky...
i posted on the other thread.
i like kombucha, but haven't drunk it for two years or so. might start making it again as i think i might need more probiotics.
but i don't think you should use it if you don't like it. i know many people who get addicted to it (my

mangokiwi-
i drank kombucha a LOT during the first part of my raw transitioning period. i drank so much that i started making it to save money. i made so much that i had to start selling it to other raw foodists just to get rid of it. and about a year and a half in, i lost my taste for it.
if you like it and it helps you feel good and clean, then drink it. but don't hold on to it like it

LOL!!! we had dogs and my parents still made us go out and pick dandelion greens when we were kids. i never thought of the details of that until just now. but our garden was in the same backyard as well. lately i've been wondering the same thing, how safe are they?
i think my mom would soak them in vinegar and water after rinsing, and then rinse again. that would probably clean them prett

i do food combine. it makes a huge difference. once in a while i'll have some dates after dinner, but usually because my husband wants me to eat multiple courses with him.
i always eat my melons alone. this one is very urgent to me. i eat most fruits alone, but apples and pears i will sometimes mix. i eat my fruit first.
if i know i want fruit around dinner time, i eat it first. or

young coconuts are good. but expensive, and there is so much meat and juice in the old hairy guys...
i can't just leave them to rot on the shelves...
and i do love the firm meat and the sweet creamy juice.
someone has to love the old guys.

tried potatoes, but the starchy texture/flavor is too much. they look great, and the texture isn't bad, but the starch aftertaste really grosses me out. on to zucchini.

i might just have to buy a zucchini and try it.
i tried flaxseeds, carrots and garlic, and my baby boy likes them, but my husband spit them out. i can't find any flaxseeds that i don't have an allergic reaction to, so i'm quitting on that one.
bananas- i think i'd rather freeze them.
potatoes- okay, i'd eat those anyway i can get them now! is there anyway on these?

i've already done one three day juice fast the first week i was pregnant, and that went very well.
we have a huge prayer event coming up and i'm thinking about doing another prayer and juice fast with my husband. i think as long as i take in enough fruit and greens (juiced) that my body will be fine. (i barely had any detox at all on the last fast).

Mama Cass
poor mia!
sounds like your body decided to do a major detox. probably all related, some sort of breakthrough, physically. you know, your body realized you were cleaning up seriously, and waited until now to release this store of built up crap. because you can handle it.
this too shall pass. and if you keep eating fruit like you are, it shall pass in a matter of days!

hm, i'm not a huge raisin fan, but i actually only like dates when it comes to dried fruit. are dates all dried? but i'd probably order from that site just because they offer that! thanks for the link.

thanks for that note, dulset- i forgot to mention it. we only mix raw eggs with the rice and the fruit pulp.
we always keep the raw meat and fat separate from the cooked foods. (cross-contamination seems scary)

sashimi is raw, nigiri is not because the rice is cooked.
and some sashimi is also cooked. but like sodsoff says, it's certainly not vegan.
and the seaweed can be raw, but often is not. they toast the sheets for flavor. but the seaweed is vegan.
