deegarry, I'm so sorry you're having a hard time. I don't know the exact situation. Only you can know it. But I do know one thing...
I'm not one to give up on people easily because everyone has the right to be ignorant. What they don't have is the right to be arrogant.
When people cross that boundary with me, after several chances, I back out of those relationships. Who needs it? Th

As a soon-to-be-ex-cooked-food-slug, who knew there was this whole other world going on around us? Not a spark of fascination has worn off on me about this whole experience yet. Just extraordinary.

Nutrition Data doesn't track zinc and selenium? These sites fascinate me and I'm looking forward to experimenting with them both. I don't care about the fitness tracking. Just a place to help with "nutrition data" so I can eventually have "fit day!"

if i were having that problem, what i would try is:
* oil pulling
* dry brushing
* neem oil
* neem herbs taken internally
* coconut oil
* kukui nut oil -- i used to work in a store that sold this hawaiian oil, and people from around the word would call to order and reorder it, saying it was the only thing

I just know that 10 speeds are out of the question. What the heck were they thinking with wheels as thin and a super model?
The only other bikes I know of are the mountain bikes and the Mr. Rogers Neighborhood bikes with the bells and baskets. I'll have to research bikes before I choose one. Comfort will have to be a priority. (Seriously, what were they thinking when they designed those

I occasionally add mine to smoothies but mainly I just soak it overnight in water, drain and add nut milk, dates and spices. I typically only eat this during the winter months though.
I really enjoy grains and can't imagine not eating them. The way I describe the raw life to the few friends I've told about i

277. Re: RAW FOOD BAR
Personally, things like raw food bars are out for me. I wouldn't be opposed, at some point, to try making my own (just for fun and experimentation), but the more I research this, the more I'm finding that I want to keep things as simple as possible - for the most part. Making beautiful recipes has it's place and I want to incorporate some fun into my lifestyle, but I'm more interested in simple

278. Re: dry skin
I haven't decided if I'll incorporate dry brushing into my routine yet or not. I don't want to be so busy doing all these extra things that it interrupts my day. I mean, a person simply can't do everything. I'd like to do it for the purpose circulating the blood though.
For some reason, both sides of my stomach have been itching a lot lately. I don't get it.

phantom How mineral-rich the soil that grew my food is?
This is a very good question. The research I've been reading for years has said that our soil is basically depleted of nutrients because it's been overworked. The ones we put back in aren't natural and isn't good enough. This is why I want to have my own place where I can grow much of my own food.

My goal with eating raw isn't to become a guru, a shaman or for spiritual enlightenment. I just want a healthy way to grow old, as disease free as possible and stay active. Unfortunately, that means exercising! There's no way around it. Going 100% raw is 100% easier for me than this!

Grains are the one area I'm still a little sketchy in, in regards to the raw life. I cooked grains regularly. Love 'em! How do raw foodists usually use grains? Which do you sprout and which do you just soak?

fipperjan,
I think when you're brand new to an idea, especially one as important as this, it's wise to research the resources available to you and pick a few to use, even if only for a time. Nutrition is important and just eating raw doesn't guarantee you a healthy, disease-free life. Many raw foodists suffer from deficiencies and this is almost always due to lack of research. This is your

I couldn't believe my eyes when the pictures were downloaded into my computer. I'm not a crybaby but I ab

EZ rider, Well, you pretty well answered that question the only way it really can be answered! Naturally, co-ops would know best how to store them, so why not do what they do. It's so simple that I'm beyond embarrassed for not thinking of that myself!

I was pretty sure I didn't want to go to Tree of Life after Suvine explained it very briefly. Now that we have even more of the story, there's no way I'll ever step foot on the compound. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but that is way off balance and teetering on a cultish infomercial in my book. Talking about the supplements they sell for hours?

Do you have any special tricks, techniques, rules and/or warnings about how you store your food? Which items do you refrigerate and which do you refuse to? Any tips in this regard would be appreciated.

Not only that, it helps you to see exactly what you're eating, so that's got to be worth a few awareness points right there. It also shows me that it will be helpful and wise to keep track of exactly what I'm eating, at least for several months. I can't thank you enough for your h

I'm sticking with the clumping litter. It's expensive, but it's worth it for me. Over many years I've tried every kind of litter possible and they've all been garbage. They smell, they're dusty, cat hates it, etc., Have you seen the ridiculous one made out of dried orange peels? It says it's dust free and all natural. You'd expect a lovely citrus scent, right?

To challenge someone this way makes no sense to me. You can cheat on a blood test by many ways. I tried, and it works to show it doesn't work.
Drink a lot of water before the test, and they will declare you anemic, low in hormones, etc etc. Go there without drinking for a while, and miracle, all your day-before low levels are
