Did you say you were from NY? It could be that whole accent thingie if you TAWK LAW-YKE THAHHT. Just teasing...I have a girlfriend who sounds exactly like Fran Drescher...I think Fran is Jewish, no?
Actually, I am sounding more and more like that "SNL" skit: DAH BARE-SSSSS!

Good idea, Prana. I haven't thought to do that with kraut. I have some recipe that uses a particular type of leaf to soak with the pickles to keep them crisp. I think there must be tannins in it that are astringent.

I bet that cabbage doesn't help, either. I know that some people seem to have issues with it. Cruciferous veggies can be hard to break down but perhaps as Raw Lion says, the use of a vinegar or ferment can help with the softening up of all that "roughage," as my 90-something dad calls it.

You know what's funny? There is a "whiter shade of pale" that I find exquisite. I love that look of red hair and pale skin. It's Irish.
What is hilarious is that I have been to this Polish shop twice recently and had staff speak to me in Polish! And I was tempted to ask the woman: "Do I look Polish to you?"
My dad loves to tell the story about when I was a baby and a str

With the humidity here, I would always use some salt as a preservative. I would imagine that some in the desert could get away with water curing.
I know there is debate about vinegar but honestly, I have good digestive fires and never experienced a problem with RAW vinegar. I think it agrees with me and is actually quite helpful. After all, raw veggies have enzymes so perhaps that cancels any

Coco, my mom got the same thing after pregnancy. I think they said it was due to hormonal levels. She used this stuff called Esoterica. I don't know if they still sell it because I think there was some controversial ingredient in it.
What about lemon juice for the blotches? That SPF crap seems suspect, unless there is a natural substance and then the Sun cannot get in to even the tan...

Yes, I was watching another version that says 2000. Wow. I think it's so unfair what people say about David. He doesn't look so different now than then. And it's been almost 20 years and he's pushing 50.

And you had written later: "I guess it's not sooo bad..." Why would it be BAD at all? If other people have a problem with it, wouldn't THEIR attitude be "bad?" Do you really prefer to look pale for an aesthetic reason? My dad cannot get a tan because he's a pink Irish dude. He only gets red in the Sun. But look at all the pale faces trying to get that golden hue and then get b

Michele, what is wrong with olive skin? Maybe you need to get out of Wisconsin?
Signed, a proud olive-skinned woman.
*Edit: I don't know why but it bothered me to read what you wrote. I have always had a lot of color to my skin. In the summer I can get quite dark and when I was a kid it was even more pronounced. Because I grew up in a diverse area, it was never something that was called to

OMG! This is almost 23 years ago? Because I watched a preview of it somewhere else and I was commenting thinking that it was from last year or something. I am a bit confused because David Wolfe has not aged then at all since then. He really looks pretty similar. So I am wondering if it's 2000.

Is this video recent? I think David Wolfe looks great in it. I am wondering if perhaps it's actually older because I have seen him in his new incarnation as Sham-wow! type of infomercial dewd and I thought he looks different than in this video.
And what is up with Graham? His arms are like Popeye's or something.

Thanks Raw Lion! That really resonates! I think the confusion is that the book said that the vinegar was a ferment and so they probably got it wrong. I LOVE the way that brine makes me feel. I don't typically have digestive issues but it feels so great anyway. And you are right--the softening of veggies allows us to eat them RAW!

If your heart starts racing, I would suggest you examine how much the approval of others is important to you. When people are reactive, something is being stirred up in THEM. If most of them are overweight, the most likely scenario is that they feel threatened on some level because you are taking charge of your health and this makes those who are not feel inferior.
In my opinion, Facebook is

A few days ago I bought a couple of pints of blueberries from Aldi's. I was a bit leery of them because they were only selling for $1.49. When I got home and tried them I couldn't believe how much they actually tasted like blueberries! Some were not very firm (which I prefer) but I found it interesting that I bought a couple of ORGANIC pints from Whole Foods a few weeks ago when they had a one-d

Jodi, I made a wonderful kimchi from a recipe I got online. It's really just spicy sauerkraut. What I like about the vinegar idea is that you can get soured veggies in a day or so whereas you have to wait 4 or 5 day at least for fermented ones.

I was reading one of my raw recipe books and it contained a lot of veggies in vinegar soaks. They used the word 'fermenting' to describe this process but I would imagine there are not the same benefits in using raw vinegar as opposed to a salt brine. I thought the latter produced lactic acid. I am not sure exactly how raw vinegar would benefit the body besides those listed in Braggs' book. And yo

For some reason, I thought you were quoting Neil Young:

Yes Virginia, you too can have as delectable morning experience as I just did!
Ingredients:
Frozen spotted bananas
blueberries
a touch of raw agave or honey
I should have proccessed the bananas thru the Omega 8006 w/ blank plate instead of even attempting the Vitamix. Because I ended up using a touch of organic plain soymilk to make it blend properly.

As long as the BROWN spots have nothing to do with the actual enema...
But seriously, they do look like liver spots and I would think it was part of the detox. You should try and Google it and see if anything comes up.

27. Re: Tired
Not to derail this thread, but sometimes I wonder if the 80-10-10 crowd has problems metabolizing fat? I mean, some people are way more sensitive to gluten than others. Tofurkey slices contains wheat gluten so when I have had it on bread, it's wheat on wheat. I don't have dramatic reactions to gluten and I imagine the same might apply to fat.

Raw Lion, upon reading your post again it appears that you were mainly using it during your detox phase. I read into it that you have a 'script and life is great! LOL...
The issue here as I see it is that with detox it makes sense to use herbs to assist in cleansing. So if anxiety is the by-product of massive detox, then I understand why someone would utilize an herb like mj for that purpose (
