I have not eaten it yet, but my Raw Foods CookBook has recipes for it shredded or cubed in salad.

Sometimes a salt craving is not for salt at all. My naturopath has a book that lists the nutritional deficiencies that go with cravings. My craving for potato chips was resolved when I started a good calcium supplement. I thought it was the salt I was craving from those chips but not so. We do need salt and if you really are salt deficient you could try the solution I use. I got Himalayan sa

I haven't heard about anyone binding iodine to the salt in celery. If you're getting organic celery you wouldn't be getting celery tampered with. Organic celery does not taste salty, it has that celery taste that is unique, the celery that tastes tinny is not organic. Celery taste is so unique I can't describe it but I can tell if celery was grown in an organic field that has soil rehabilitatio

Yeah. And worry is a part of the stuff that kills us. So don't. Seriously, when there is worry there are unknowns and when you can observe and question you get those unknowns resolved and the worry poofs away.

If it does not say raw, it's probably not raw. They process a lot of the palm oil. I would not buy those either, NO WAY.

I agree with Tamukha. There is something I haven't seen people talking about and that is trace minerals. They are are really important. Really serious mental illness and mental retardation can be caused by trace mineral malnutrition. That's something that even our organics doesn't completely handle. I finally got myself a trace mineral supplement. I would definately make sure a child had that.

I have been posting every week to share and to keep a record for myself, now that is lost. I have been doing raw foods on and off for a long time but since six weeks I am doing it completely. I had a bit of cooked food here and there but I always feel bad the next day so I am stopping that. I am reading a book, "The Live Food Factor" it is almost 700 pages and the total story on ra

You can put your MSM in your green smoothie. The thing I think about is there going to be chemical reaction. I wouldn't want the calcium in my juice to bond with some stuff from some mineral supplement I added to the juice. I don't know enough about chemistry to be sure, I decided to take a chemistry class just because i have these kind of questions. I can't see MSM doing anything like that in

I second the recommend on Dr. Shelton's data. He supervised enough of them over a long period of years. I did six days. I felt icky the third day, tired the fourth day, energetic, and hungry the sixth day. So I broke the fast the morning of day seven. I tried to do a three day fast this past week and I couldn't, my body was screaming for nutrients so I had to stop after 24 hours. It was just

Just want to let you know that raw foodists often stop menstrual bleeding or it gets very light. The Natural Hygienists have a hundred years of records on this, I got it from them, and it is mentioned in the book "The Live Food Factor."

September 15. Six days gone by. pH of 8 after 6 hours of processing. I am getting 9 checking it after 12 hours. That doesn't mean it took 12 hours, it means I got it checking it after 12 hours. My use has gone down because my roomate is using less, so I only do two bottles a day now, every 12 hours. That's four weeks of prill beads and laminar crystals together making my water better for me

I have read your posts and I can relate with the difficulty you are experiencing. Best wishes that you keep moving forward. I have only thing to say that could help. Try to TRANSITION. An ordered TRANSITION. Set a goal for what you know you can do with the raw food on a daily basis and allow that you are working to attain your ideal scene. Steps, baby steps, or big steps.

Great you found a nautorpathic doctor that supports your lifestyle. I just did it too. I have gone to a naturopathic doctor. She said I should be the healthiest person on earth the way I eat. She gave me a prescription for the green powder, whole food Vitamin C, nutritional yeast, cold pressed oils, to help me with my food stamps, and ran tests for deficiencies. She is going to research a fe

I agree with Tamukha on this. One thing I must say about the THINK on supplements and even drugs is this - Does it do more harm than good? How many people will benefit from it versus how many have a bad reaction? That's the THINK. Probably where your practitioner is coming from. It would be good to understand the reluctance to exchange the product and to steadfastly stand by the product rega

I checked the pH of my prill water again. It is holding at a pH of 8 after 6 hours of processing. My first post was August 17 so I have been using the water for 24 days. Not a month yet. Amazing how such a positive has become a religous part of my life. Really, when a way of life becomes ingrained and is based on your beliefs it becomes part of your religion. I learned this in college human

I finished my fast and I never ate or drank anything but water. On the 5th day I had a huge energy burst and on the 6th day my hunger came back, so I ended on the 7th day instead of day 10. My senses of smell and taste are more acute now. I am down to 125 lbs, haven't weighed so little for over 30 years. I feel absolutely really good. I am going to a naturopathic doctor this week to see i

I just did a 28 day total alimentary canal cleanse. I eliminated tons of junk including old impacted matter, mucoid plaque, and parasites. I was the Arise and Shine 28 day cleanse and it worked fabulously. I lost 15 pounds in those 28 days. My skin looks better. My senses of smell and taste are more acute, overall it was a huge success and I will use this cleansing program again in the futur

Here's the latest on my prill beads and prill water experience: I am not fully rehydrated with prill water, the prill beads are still putting out alkalized water, and many people I have told are now trying them for themselves. I will post every two weewks to let you know if the prill beads are still putting out alkalized water.

Thanks, Jodi. I am on the third day of my fast and I did not do green juice today. I didn't feel like I need it yet. I do not feel very bad from the stuff I am detoxing and my tongue is still pink. Anyone who has tried to fast knows that the tongue can get white coated when your body is having a hard time. The stuff I have been doing has made my body able to do this fast. This is a big win

Today I begin ten days of deep cleansing. Two days of water and then one day of green juice, repeated two times and one last day of water. I am doing the Arise and Shine cleanse which removes old impaced matter and mucoid plaque from the alimentary canal. Usually you do 7 days without solid food, but I am doing ten. I feel so much more energy since I began drinking the prill water 7 days ago I

Jodi - I can tell you about the impacted fecal matter. I had a colonoscopy. It showed what looked like smooth muscle tissue. I am now in the process of a cleanse that removes old matter and mucoid plaque from the entire intestinal tract. I have gotten so much stuff out with just herbs, psyllium and bentonite. I have gotten gobs or tarry stuff, strings of old mucoid plaque, parasites. That col

SuperInfinity - I like what you said about Primatology. I studied up on the diet of the Orangutan and other apes and found they get their fabulous muscles from eating leaves and fruits, green leaves and jungle fruits. Cows and horses and bison and buffalo get their fabulous muscles from eating green grass. I have been putting on more lean mass since using blended green salads and green juice. It

Here's the latest on my prill beads and prill water experience. I found out the pH gets more alkaline the longer the prill water processes. I found out that I get a pH of 8.0 when the water processes for 6 hours. Now that I have been on the water for 7 days I notice I do have more energy. I feel better hydrated and the weak spots in my body have now got the prill water, a fews days ago th

On mixing fruits and veggies in juice, the data I have from Natural Hygiene is that lettuce and celery are combinable with fruits, the others are not. It has to do with how long they stay in the stomach and the beginning of fermentation when the fruit can't get out of the stomach because the veggies aren't ready to go out.

Mental disorders and illnesses are all invented. There is no scientific proof for any of them. They keep inventing disorders and now say 1 in 5 Americans have a mental illness or disorder. They way they get a new disorder is Big Pharma or Some Psychiatry group comes up with a new one and then the American Psychiatric Association has a vote whether or not to add it to their book of disorders.

Your girlfriend is on the right track. I used avocados and nut butters on Manna Bread when I was losing too much. After my metabolism evened out I didn't need so many avocados or nut butter. It could her metab will even out as she heals from the raw foods diet. She will heal and her health will improve. Best of Luck.
