212. Crying
I am easily moved to tears I suppose, but that seems natural to me. I cry nearly every day (at least a little), not sob or anything. I don't really cry if I am in pain. I don't cry from being sad, well sometimes I do. I cried when reading "A People's History of the USA" earlier this morning when learning about the "freedom riders". I guess I was moved by the human spirit an

215. Re: Raw Emotions
My emotions are more even. I think one factor in that it eating maca everyday which helps to balance the hormones. My monthly cycle used to affect my emotions more. I would sometimes become incredibly upset for no good reason, or my mood would make me find reasons to be upset to make sense of my turbulent emotions. I would think I was upset for this reason or that reason, but it was all really

The white coconuts usually the young coconuts. They are white because they have the brown 'hairy' part shaved off.The young coconuts have more water, more tender meat, are easier to digest and are more nutritious. I think the young thai coconuts are best (usually white).

Spirulina is great. It is a wonderful food for vegans/vegetarians. It is high in Iron, Protein, Vitamin B12 and Vitimin B Complex. It is also high in beta carotene (10X more concentrated than carrots) and has the clensing/anti-aging properties of all chlorophyll-rich foods. I don't think there are any cons in taking it. I put it in my smoothies. It has a mild flavor, so when you put it in smoot

I would like to gain five-ten pounds and am 100% raw. I last week I did a four day fast which made me lose five pounds. I feel great from it but am now under-weight. Before I was at the low end, but still in the healthy range. How can I gain it back? I am naturally pre-disposed to be very thin and already eat plenty of oils, avocados, nuts... Any suggestions?

221. Re: Just a wish
I wish that too. Hey, lets start one. It would be great to be able to get food locally from organic community gardens. Maybe the gardens could run on membership. Therefore it belongs to the members. Everyone would just pay a fee that would in total cover the expenses of seeds, property, ect... It could have gardens, fruit trees and a large greenhouse (possibly). There would be a few employee

I would think these dried fruits would be raw because they should be dried under the enzyme killing tempreature, although I don't know what the manufacturing practices are. I would think organic is probably used less harsh drying methods but am not really sure. Does anyone have any information on this?

Humans technically are not grass eaters and we don't have the proper enzymes in out gut to digest it (like a cow for example). It is great to chew it and spit it out for oral health. If you eat it, it will most likey just get passed through your system without much assimilation of nutrients.

I am on day three of a water fast. Last night I am not even sure if I slept. I layed in bed while watching colorful patterns and visions float before me. I was relaxed and the visions changed and twisted indiscriminately. Suddenly I saw a vivid and fightening image of a man's face and head. He had a deep expression of agony with his mouth open, almost crying out. He had dark full hair and a

225. Re: fruit flys
Get a jar or glass and put a little bit of apple cider vinegar in it. Roll a paper funnel and place over it. Put it near the fruit. The flies will find their way in but have trouble getting out. Then you can let them go outside.

At a raw food restaurant I used to work at, they served a drink called the "Blood Tranfusion", which was a shot or two of wheatgrass and young coconut water. I know you said that you it's hard for you to get wheatgrass, but you might want to invest a wheatgrass juicer (you can yet ones that are non-electronic and not too expensive. If you have a "Whole Foods" around you they

I am not sure, but my eye color looks different all the time. My iris always has a dark blue outer ring. Sometimes my eyes look greyish blue and sometimes the look bright blue. More rarely they look aqua-blue. Often as the color approaches the pupil they become yellowish-green. My natural hair color has also changes alot in my life. As a baby was black and as a toddler strawberry blond. From p

I do pilates from a DVD in my living room for about an hour (3-4 times a week). I started this because of back pain from slight scoliosis and have seen definate imporovment in the way that I feel. Otherwise I just try and go for walks everyday. I am much more active in the spring and summer and often swim, hike in the woods, canoe and kayak. I also LOVE to rollerblade.

230. Re: cannabis
All I know is that if I take one hit of marijuana I become high as a kite. I become paranoid, anti-social and my mind races. Some people love the high from it, for whatever reason it doesn't sit well with me. I have noticed that I have trouble communicating with pot smokers because they seem to be in a haze. Maybe they like being in a haze and it allows them to escape their troubles momentari

I know that it is legal to irradiate spices and avoid those products (it has to be labeled non-irradiated). I think the people who care about eating organic (which is growing everyday) will not stand for something like this. The way I see it is if bacteria does not want to eat a plant, I don't either! It is scary because the FDA has allowed cloned animals to be used as food, while the public ha

232. Re: Flower Remedies?
I believe it works. It works in a way that isn't blatently obvious. Sometimes at work when I felt myself to be stressed out I would take them. Then I would just continue on my way. I always noticed that after some time I would feel in higher spirits and more easily able to deal with stress. It works so subtely it is hard to really notice, but always in retrospect I sincerely feel as though

233. Fasting...
I did some research on fasting,and am on my second day of a three day fast. I feel incredibly fatigued. Everything I do is slower and I get slighty dizzy when standing (after laying down or sitting for a while). I am a little shaky. From what I read this is normal. Does anyone have some advice on how I can make myself a little more comfortable? Does this usually pass before the fast has end

I think once your intestinal environment is in the proper balance, you are unlikey to get parasites. Parasites often feed of the old decaying waste on the intestinal walls. A colon cleanse, herbal parasite cleanse, fasting and probiotics in the diet should help attain the proper health (with proper guidance). A general level of good health should prevent infestation causing parasites to pass

I am just curious if people have noticed improvement in the health of their teeth after an extended period of being raw. I am pretty new to being completely raw. I would like my teeth to be whiter? Does anyone have any natural tips for better teeth?

It has worked great for me. I went through a hair 'detox' period where my scalp took time to adjust. After a couple of weeks my head was ichy, greasy and flaky, but I stuck with it. A little bit of diluted apple cider vinegar worked wonders on the flakes. When my hair got unbearably greasy, I put a little bit of baking soda in my hair and then rinsed it off. I did that once a week. It was a r

That is good to know. I was under the impression that sustainably harvested organic raw honey was not very intrusive or harmful to the bees, but what you say makes sense. I will look into it a little deeper. Thank you.
ps. I do love bees and would not want to contrubute to hurting them.

239. Honey...
I am 100% raw/vegan, except I eat raw honey. I love it. I bought some amazing honey the other day and I can't stop eating it, on apples, in smoothies, with cacao beans and goji berries. I keep telling myself I will not eat anymore and then I indulge. I feel like a bear. I am craving sweets lately for some reason. Is too much honey (all the sugar) bad for your body?

In a few years my husband and I might have a child. I know if I have a child I want to raise him/her vegan-organic-raw and breastfeed for a long time. I know little about feeding a baby raw, although I will heavily research everything to know about it until I am completely confident (starting now). My husband is a meat-eater. His diet definately shifted after being with me. He eats more plant
