Hi Lara,
There is an article in this month's magazine from Hallelujah Acres about a woman who was diagnosed with Graves Disease. She adopted the diet which is 85% raw & did not take any of the medical route & is free of thyroid problems for 3yrs now. I know we are all different so I hope this helps.
The website is hacres.com. I'm not sure if they have the magazine online though. Goo

Hi Rob,
I am weaning myself off of paxil. I was taking 30mgs a day but am now at 15mgs. I'm 53 & have been taking it for 11yrs. The problem with most serotonin uptake drugs is that they have what is referred to as an 'afterlife'. That is... when one tries to discontinue use they have really bad reactions. The drug cos. have gotten alot of flack about this but we know how impotent the FDA i

Hi,
A govt. backed study that's objective? Yeah, just like the inter govermental panel on climate change. I prefer to make my own decisions based on logic, not some biased agency. I find it interesting that the real temperature of the planet has actually COOLED over the past 12yrs but the congress rushed their cap & trade tax a day before the information leaked out.

HI,
Yeah, I wouldn't break out the champaigne just yet. The 9th circuit court has so many rulings reversed in various cases. You can be sure the lobbyists will be busy over the July recess in congress too.
Why can't they just leave the food alone? Oh yeah, no money in that!!

Hey,
Tubby Joe here... I hate twinkies but have enjoyed a steak in my past. I might have had 1 or 2 steaks since 1/1/09 but I try to stay mainly with raw or cooked vegan foods because when I have my steak & potatoes, my waist tells me I'm growin' a spare tire & that tires my whole body out. lol
I try not to take life or myself too seriously but at 53 I know I need to make some lifes

Hi,
Why do people call it 'health care' when in reality it is nothing more than 'disease care'. If you think this is bad, let Barack & Kennedy have their way. Socialism sucks!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
Thanks everyone. I just bought a watermelon today & I'll be making a smoothie tomorrow with it. I guess the best thing to do is experiment & see how my body reacts.

10. Re: avocados
Hi All,
I didn't like the taste of avocado but since it was the 1st & only one I've ever had, I guess another try is needed. Should the skin be firm? Mine was a little on the soft side.
Thanks........

Hi Everyone,
Has anyone ever made a green smoothie with watermelon. I ask because of the saying 'melons alone or leave em alone'. I enjoy spinach & romaine as the greens & I usually have pears, apples, or red grapes as the fruit portion.
Any & all comments appreciated..

Hi,
Very true Flipper. When i eat 90% raw or vegan, I lose weight. As soon as I add SAD to the mix (pizza, junk foods, philly soft pretzels), I can feel the difference in my body & my energy level.
My raw foods are mostly mono meals such as raw corn on cob, green smoothies & salads. I also eat various fruits like bananas, plums, apples, pears & watermelon. I buy as much organic

14. buying sprouts
Hi All,
I am interested in learning to grow my own sprouts. B4 I spend $$ though I would like to try different ones to see what I like. Can you buy fresh sprouts at your local co-op, health food store, whole foods,etc.... I have bought the sproutman's book 'miracle foods'.
Does anyone have a preferred method of growing sprouts i.e bag,basket, or verticle sprouter??
Thanks for your input

Hi All,
Whether eating SAD or raw, my bp has always been 120/80 on a consistant basis. The only time it was elevated was 12yrs ago when I was experiencing panic attacks. So stressful situations may have something to do with it. My wife has been on bp meds for 20yrs. I wish she would change her diet because if she lost weight that might help. I try not to harp on it with her but since I'm 53 &a

HI Kollie,
I joined a co-op so that I can have access to organic foods that are reasonably priced. That being said, there are some that are not unhealthy to eat non-organic. The fruits with thick peels should be ok. whatever, just be sure to wash the food really good.
Some say organic is more nutricious, others don't make a big deal over it. It won't do anyone any good to pay for organic &a

Hi All,
In this week's newsletter, Susan Schenk says that there is MSG being sprayed on fruit & veggie plants. This could be why the # of allergies are on the rise.
Yeah... the FDA is about as worthless an agency that we have... except for Al Gore's climate change rantings.

Hi Everyone,
Rev. Malkmus has an expose on Gen 1:29 - 30 in this week's newsletter at hacres.com. In the 11th chapter of Leviticus, Moses tells the Israelites the foods that are 'clean & unclean' in relation to what they were allowed to eat.
It is true that after the flood there wasn't enough plant life to eat so man was given permission to eat animal flesh. Cooking must have been start

Hi Everyone,
After being 95% raw since 1/1, I had a week of backsliding to SAD foods. I ate ham for the Easter dinner with my family & doing that started the usual cravings for cooked SAD foods. While I haven't gained all the lost weight back in a week, I can definitely feel the difference in my body.
So, with that said, I will begin again today with raw foods. This is my 1st holiday si

Hi All,
I agree,cooked food is VERY addictive. The last 2 days I gave into my craving for fried eggs. While these have been my only cooked meals it seems that as soon as I finished them I wanted some potato chips, then I ate a Philly soft pretzel tonite b4 work. All I could think about was having a pepsi which I haven't had since b4 Christmas. Finally, something I read in '12 steps to raw' cli

Hi,
My wife's gyno told her that Penicillin can counteract b.c. pills but this was about 25yrs ago. I'm not sure if any updated info on this exists. I agree that every woman should be vigilant about b.c pills AND their side effects. They are, after all a 'foreign' pharmaceutical just like any other drug one might introduce into their bodies.
And YES... babies will change one's life but I'm

Hi,
I've been eating pumpkin seeds every night for a couple of weeks now because I'm trying to build serotonin. Pumpkin seeds are high in L-tryptophan which is serotonin's precursor.
Anyway, I've never had any problems with burping or any discomfort. However, even when I juice radishes with carrots & apples I can taste them afterward. The sulfer in them is a good sinus healer(helper).

HI All,
Yes... watermelon rinds make a great juice AND also help flush the kidneys according to the juiceman Jay Kordich.
What's great about raw foods is that they don't just address one thing, they provide multiple benefits to the body. I don't think I would eat the rind though. My teeth ain't in the greatest shape either.

Hi La_veronique,
My kashi is the typical breakfast cereal from the box. Since I'm new to the raw style I still have some cereal left from my SAD days. Lately, I've been adding blueberries with banana milk or if I'm pressed for time I'll just use soy milk.
I know this isn't raw but I'm still very much a newbie in transition. I believe it's a marathon, not a sprint. I know I'll get there s

Hi Everyone,
I agree.. the sooner one feeds that 'inner coach' the better. I know that if I go more than 5hrs without eating, my body calls louder & louder until I satisfy that message. When I eat raw foods, I am satisfied with 2 pears or apples or some zuchinni pasta. However... When I eat cooked food.... especially stegionne pizza..... my 'inner coach's full signal' gets very muffled...a

Hi Everyone,
I wish I didn't own a TV. Since starting raw 1/1 I have decreased my TV watching at least 75%. While I do continue to watch Christian TV, I rarely watch any news except for business & weather. Funny though, whether I watch or not the markets & the weather do what they're gonna do anyway.
Maybe the bumper sticker is right...... KILL YOUR TV!!!!!

Hi Everyone,
My feet / leg cramps are a thing of the past since 1/1/09. I too used to be shaken from deep sleep with a Charlie-horse. I had to learn that whenever this happened to lean over the side of my bed & kinda stand up ( we have a high mattress). My feet would cramp up for seemingly no reason when I laid down to relax or to sleep. I thought it was just from 'gettin old'.... NOT... I
