1141. Re: Make-up?
I quit makeup after a huge detox, when gobs of blue and purple eyeliner came out of my nose (AWESOME!). My favorite colors... That was what it took to change my perspective completely. I used to wear it everyday, too. I did the most unique Cleopatra-inspired eyes, I wore Urban Decay, I was hot stuff. Blah blah blah.
That was a year and a half ago. Since I've recently gone raw, I've still had s

Also, what is the difference between an almond and a bitter almond? Is there a difference? Can someone also enlighten me about bitter almonds, please, in conjunction with the regular almond confusion?
If that's not asking too much~ ^.^;;

1144. Re: Weeeeiiirrrd grapes
If it's the number you have to write on a tag at a bulk store, I'm pretty sure it's different, given all the numbers I've had to write vary from 3-6 digits, depending on the store.
The PLU# is on every (or should be!) item of fresh produce at grocery stores. All my organic fruits always had 5 digits and started with a 9. I don't think teas/herbs/etc would have a PLU, unless it was a bunch of n

1145. Weeeeiiirrrd grapes
Interesting story for everyone...
I usually buy red, black, and green grapes at the market. Last time I went, I got my usual delicious, plump, beautiful, red and black grapes, although the usual green ones weren't there--there were these GIANT boxes, 4 lbs. for <$2, some ABSURDLY cheap price.
Well, why not, right?
I tried a huge bowl of mixed grapes with my boyfriend later on. The red

1146. Re: Phases
I had a gala apple phase this fall, even when I was just 50% raw. The apples were local, fresh, amazing... <3 But once they were out of season, I haven't really eaten apples since. Sometimes I was eating 5-6/day.
Then it was salads with dark, leafy greens, 3-4 bowls/day. I usually cut green apple on the salad and made a dressing of lime juice and olive oil. This went on for 2-3 months, pre-

1147. Re: Preventing Cancer
"When B17 is introduced to the body, it is broken down by the enzyme Rhodanese. The Rhodanese breaks the Hydrogen Cyanide and Benzaldehyde down into 2 by-products, Thiocyanate and Benzoic acid which are beneficial in nourishing healthy cells and forms the metabolic pool production for vitamin B12. Any excess of these by-products is expelled in normal fashion from the body via urine. Vitamin

1149. Re: Weight loss
Aha! I have a weight adventure, and I'm @ 10 weeks/100% raw.
I guess it's also worth mentioning, I don't use any sweeteners, no nama shoyu, spices and garlic VERY rarely, no onion, no vinegar, and the occasional cacao. I lost my taste for greens about 2-3 weeks into raw, sprout, eat seaweed, and mad amounts of fruit.
First month: I ate 3-4000 calories a day, in tons of nuts, avocados, seeds

1151. Re: dry skin
I just started dry brushing, and I have ABSURDLY dry calves. They will just itch and itch and itch and itch. The brushing seems to help temporarily, but I've only been doing it for 5-6 days. My skin is adapting to the brushing more, it's definitely invigorating--I'm hoping it clears my situation, as well, but I'll have to wait and see.
I'll let you know! =)

When you get really into weird and tropical raw food, it starts getting harder and harder to find nutritional information period. Fitday gives me a great idea of what I'm eating, but god only knows the real wealth packed in a raw mangosteen? What's really in my sprouts? How mineral-rich the soil that grew my food is?

1156. Re: ice ice baby
I've always wondered about that. Water while eating dilutes gastric juices and is less than optimal, and the ice would melt inside your body... so I don't know? Enough juicy fruit, anyway, and you won't need it. Feel free to chill things before blending... Mmm... Now I want a smoothie!

Hearing some nonsense like an "end of my life" diagnosis would motivate me to improve my health even MORE, to the point of taking a crash course in martial arts and knocking some sense back into those doctors while rubbing that diagnosis in their faces!

HAHAHA... I do have some of the same aversions!
I did the salt water flush before, because it could be done by mouth, and not with someone else... well... there. But if the curiosity is burning, maybe you should try it once?
It's like that Robert Frost poem, about the two roads that lead to the same place... some are just traveled more than others.

It's a cost/benefit analysis. Apples are some of the worst fruits to eat conventionally--organic apples are usually reasonably priced, and you can easily tell if they are bad.
Organic mangoes: once I stocked up on some $2/piece little buggers, and the entire bag was rotten. That's my last time with organic mangoes, barring someone donating me about ten million dollars.

I read it takes one month of raw to heal one year of eating SAD. So, it takes some time--but, hey, at least you're getting through it!
