I think my main concern about poppy seed sprouts is the concern about poppy seeds. They can cause false positive results on drug tests due to small amounts of opiods. Not enough to get you high but enough to cause a false postive result . Also, you do need some science to show that it helps with anxiety.

I support pot legalization. That said, if you are working at a job or driving after toking, that puts you at risk. I agree with Raw Lion and other commenters that a holistic approach is the best way to address anxiety.

Clank,
I think you have to make up your mind about your situation. I'm not pushing supplements. The article I attached discusses yoga, and some other things you have tried. The question you have to ask is whether or not just eating healthy in and of itself it going to treat anxiety? Eating healthy is essential. But you have indicated you have already tried meditation, and exercise which

It's not all or nothing. The whole point of the integrative management of anxiety article I attached is that the author. Dr. James Lake, is that he looked at both medicinal, herbal and other therapeutic approaches, e.g. yoga. Fwiw, kava is not a drug but an herb, one used by South Pacific islanders for a long time without reports of adverse effect. Theanine is a non-essential amino acid natur

Clank,
For periodic anxiety attacks or situations you know will be anxiety causing ahead of time, two supplements - kava and theanine - have been shown to be as effective as prescription drugs without the side effects. This article by Dr. Lake will provide better context.
Dr. Lake also mentions yoga, mindfulness and meditation training also.
I have used both kava and theanine per

David,
I have both the blank plate and soft fruit plate. If you have to choose between the two, go with the soft fruit plate. There are some items like tomato, kiwi, other, where you get more of a nector than a juice where the large holes are better and the regular screen could clog.
I have used the blank plate to make nut butters and sorbet and it works well for me. But to be perfect

The short answer is that vegan by definition is does include ingestion of animal products. Honey is an animal product. I do not know how more simple you could make it. Honey is a popular divertion from veganism. Many bee-guns are still kindred spirits. Victoria Moran, Raw Judita, John Kohler. But eating an animal product precludes one from being a vegan, at least during the period one eats

Maybe you didn't agree with my characterization of it. But I addressed it. It's subterfuge. There is no real voter fraud issue in the US. It is a pretense to allow voter suppression. Saying picture IDs are necessary to reduce fraud is like saying poll taxes help balance the budget or literacy tests are necessary.

I don't know about green beans specifically but trust Prana's experience. I tend to think of green beans as veggies rather than legumes though clearly they are.
It's other types of legumes and beans such as kidney beans, navy beans etc that have the high trypsin inhibitor count.

lentils and mung beans are safe to eat raw. Most other legumes are too high in trypsin inhibitors, anti-nutrients, that cause nausea and other side effects. Chickpeas are on the fence but contain higher levels of the trypsin inhibitors than mung beans and lentils.

It's fair that Democrats gerrymander but Republicans engage in it more often and more gratuitiously. . Thus, Republicans are more culpable, particularly recently, than are Democrats when it comes to gerrymandering. How else could Democrats have 1.4 million more popular votes in the House than Republican and still be 34 reps down? Because Republicans cheat, and do it very well. Democrats don'

Mindy,
soymilk, flaxseed, and cruciferous vegetables are all great foods that help metabolize extra estrogen that may cause hot flashes. My wife, 49, was suffering horribly from night sweats and hot flashes and could not sleep. While the foods I mention helped, they did not help enough for her to sleep regularly. On advice from a friend, we bought Estrovera from Metagenics. The science lo

Because they know they cannot win national elections anymore with the browning of America, Republicans turn to gerry mandering, voter suppression and Super Pacs to try to take by force what they cannot achieve through the democratic process. Having only one presidential election since 1992 where they won the popular vote and witnessing demography going against them, Republicans hope to intimidat

Mindy,
I know I sound like a broken record on this on the board. But, honestly if you are looking for a primer or some authority for the advantages of a raw vegan diet, my recommendation is to start with the 2010 book, "Becoming Raw" by Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melina, two vegan RDs. It's full of authoritative well researched information and in my judgement the best single book pr

Point taken, still, the Waring is priced like a Vitamix with a 3 year warranty to Vitamix's 7. More power doesn't always equate to better performance. When Kohler tested more powerful Omega blenders to the Vitamix, the sharpness of the blade and design was the determining factor. The Waring is a fine blender I'm sure. It appears to have a pulse button, critical in my view. And lots of power

But then there is the MMA quandry. Can the active Vitamin B-12 in mushrooms reduce MMA.
Perhaps if you don't like taking supplements, these mushrooms could be a new part of your nutrient coverage along with nutritional yeast (Red Star enhanced), chlorella and possibly with regular MMA testing. In spite of the discovery which I plan to use as more of a talking point against the claim that &quo

Apart from never seeing either black trumpet or golden chantrelle mushrooms at Wegmans, WF, MOMs or any other health store I go to, there is still the MMA problem. This is a step in a chain. There is confirmed active Vitamin B-12 in plant foods. I actually don't think this is that new. I think chlorella & purple laver may have had it beat by a few years. SEE PART 2 POST

It is sad. Give it to me raw and Gone raw are both gone. Thankfully we have here. In spite of the rhetoric, Rawfoodtalk.com is a very poor raw vegan site where every post is micromanaged to the point of nausea. That's Alisa Cohen's site. Prana and John do a much better job here of balancing freedom of expression and anarchy than Alisa has ever done. I don't know some of the other sites fol

Tam,
I don't use the gloves all the time. If I'm using a guide on a mandoline for instance. But I use it for all high risk situations. The original examples of a mandoline without a guide or a cleaver to wack a young thai coconut can be high risk and the glove brings that down.
