I use Badger sunscreen when I'm out in the sun for longer than normal. It uses zync oxide as main ingredient, and is non-nano. Apparently, most of the so called natural sunblock brands contain ingredients with nano particles. This brand is the only one I know that doesn't
Otherwise, I just stay out of the sun or use wide brim hat. Coconut oil works too when I"m at the pool or on the bea

I knew a couple of people like this. My advice is don't force yourself, if you don't feel like it, don't hang out or talk to that person. Say you're busy or whatever. Eventually, this relationship will dissolve. I had tolerated a negative and critical person like this out of loyalty and sense of obligation for some time, and that really poisoned my life. Their negativity does rub off on you, whe

People don't realize that aging doesn't only depend on diet. I happen to study a lot on the subject of aging, and especially facial aging. There are so many factors involved, like wrong posture and bone alignment, muscles underneath the skin being contracted in a certain way over the years from smiling, frowning, squinting, pressing your face in the piollow for 8 hours, other muscles atrophying

Are they familiar with Gerson Cancer therapy?
One doesn't have to go to their clinic. They have a brochure with healing protocol that you can do at home.

this may sound gross, and I appologize in advance What helps me to kill my cravings as they start, is the knowledge what eating that particular food will do to my body. "Inspiring" pictures to google are what comes out from colonic cleaning, or deformed colon pictures in people on SAD diet. Don't want to have THAT in my body! This does work for me to stay high raw and not to cheat, s

I totally resonate with the original poster. You get more in tune with your true nature when on raw. We are not meant to live in polluted cities, with artificial air all year around, surrounded by all the emfs, noise,etc. These sensetivies are our bodies calling us to get back to natural lifestyle. So there's nothing wrong with that. We are plenty healthy, but we are not meant to deal with toxic

I had them sitting in the fridge for months. They never rot, in my case. The meat inside hardens though, as they gradually dry out. But dry coconuts are just as good.

vegmichelle,madinah - Thanks for your responses! I stopped using soap to cleanse my face, and the red patches went away. Very interesting combination - lemon and cucumber! I'll try it tonight, have the ingredients at home

Thanks Jodi! I'm in VA. I am aware of winter dryness, and using humidifiers everywhere. And my skin is still very oily, I just get red patches that dry out and scale. I heard about skin brushing, and actually have a good brush, but keep on forgeting to use it. I should make it a habit.

I've read somewhere ( several sources) that the spots, moles we get on our skin with age are because of the toxicity in the body. If the body is clean, then even if we're exposed to the sun often, those things won't appear on our skin.
I have a couple of sun spots I could live without ( damage from the Carrebean sun). I went raw 7 months ago. Don't see any changes so far.
Also, I have oily sk

After 3 months on raw, my teeth began to stain too. I started to make my own toothpaste, and follow the teeth cleaning procedures outlined by Daniel Vitalis. My teeth look better than ever now, and I stopped going to to toxic dental offices for cleanings

yes, depends on how rich you make them. If you add bananas, nuts, and seeds to your smoothie, besides all the greens, it can be quite a filling meal on its own. I drink 3-4 tall glasses per meal

Green smoothies are my staple diet. I have a big one in the morning for breakfast. And then one for dinner too. I actually made the decision to become raw vegan after reading Victoria Boutenco's book The Green Smoothie Revolution. Just by eating solid raw fruits and veggies, you won't be able to consume the amount necessary to get all vitamins and minerals you need. Green smoothies really ma

Jj, yes, bananas, nuts, figs as well as oils like olive, coconut, flex seed are very high in calories, so you should be fine with maintaining and even gaining some weight if you include plenty of those.
As to amazing changes, first of all, sorry for the details, but no body odor whatsoever. I exercise and dance a lot, and even in those cases I don't need antiperspirant any more. That's pretty c

I had the same concern 3 months ago when switching. I'm an average built, but with strong tendency to be skinny. I lose weight very fast within a matter of 3-4 days, so I always have to watch out. And I happen to like curves on my body, and round ( not sunken!) youthful face! LOL So I checked the number of calories in the fruit, with banana being a winner. So I eat from 4 to 6 bananas a day (in m
