This is just a thought, but anything which is an astringent will draw in excess moisture. From the Internets, I gleaned that pomegrantes (lots of tannins), cranberries, lemons, and persimmons are examples of this.

Pborst: Wow...I am thinking I should leave here. I don't go on and on about it, but I have mentioned that I am not 100% or even 'high' raw. My impetus for coming to this site and posting was to inspire me to become MORE raw. Perhaps one day I will be very high raw...living in Chicago on a day like today makes it verrry difficult, LOL. Craving warm or even piping hot food is par for the course. I

Maryl: I am sure part of this is due to the changes you have made to your diet. What I am thinking, though, is that the coffee may be creating a blood sugar roller coaster in the same way that sugar and refined carbs. I know that when I have quit caffeine (and therefore most of my sugar intake), my blood sugar remained on an even keel. When I drink coffee, I can sometimes go hours without eating

Mislu: LOL, I have Gabriel Cousen's "Spiritual Nutrition" (I think that's the title) and "The Essene Gospel of Peace." In your various examples for the word 'spirit,' there was one which mentioned the mind, thoughts, etc. As I see it, that refers to CONSCIOUSNESS, versus synapses firing from a physical brain. And according to those who believe in the existence of the soul, our

Luvyu: Is there a specific reason why you are always taking your PH? I have thought about it just as a curiosity, but doing it all the time would seem to be for a certain purpose. I thought we were supposed to be slightly acidic, actually, and that if we were alkaline, we would be vulnerable to dis-ease.

Mislu: the spirit is that which is beyond the body and worldly mind. The body is dying, decaying...even the most ardent eaters of 'good food' must come to terms with their mortality. And emotions change like the wind. The spiritual is supposed to transcend the five senses and the material world.

Flipperjan: As someone who goes on other boards, as well, I have often wondered why atheists feel drawn to threads related to God if they find it silly. If it's irritating, then simply stop reading it! But as someone who believes in That, it appears that non-believers go on threads which irritate them to try and change minds. I have no interest in defending organized religion whatsoever. I rarel

Flipperjan: I did not take that post you quoted as someone being an evangelist. I think some atheists are so quick to freak out by anyone even mentioning G-- that they overreact. Did you get abused by religion? I see this all the time and I totally get why being raised that way would turn someone off totally to anything spiritual, but any time you perceive something as threatening that is really

Raw Seeker: Did man create the intricate human body, too? Is it possible to believe in an Intelligence and not in an organized, manmade system? Sometimes I think that atheists are too puffed up with their own intellect to allow the thought of something beyond the five senses. But we have bodies which are temporary, do we not? And if I were to believe that this life is just a bunch of random, chao

Swarth: That sounds delish to me! I love beet juice...it makes me euphoric. Like wow, man,can you dig it? And carrots, spinach, parsley...it's all good. Think it'll be one of the first I make when my new juicer arrives!
I also love fresh pineapple juice with ginger. Anti-inflammatory! Woot!

So it's gonna be here; I am doing The Secret and manifesting it, LOL.

Um...I think I am certified, or certifiable, at least...In any case, I am also wondering about becoming a raw chef and going to a traditional cooking school. Like, do they offer a vegetarian section for those who would never want to work with flesh foods?

Actually, it's all semantics. Spirituality is kind of a catch-all, nebulous term while organized religion means that it's a particular organization. However, someone who is Wiccan would probably be labeled as into spirituality rather than religion simply because it's not considered a "mainstream" religion. At least that's my two cents!

Raw Seeker: How about any spiritual belief system that resonates for each of us? I was raised a Christian and although I am more into Eastern philosophy these days, I don't have an aversion to Christianity. I grew up in a liberal Christian church that didn't pound it into our heads that we were all evil sinners. They were very into serving others and so I am thankful that I was born into that, ra

I am against all vaccines, for adults and children. I have seen the behavior of many children these days and I used to believe that it was simply poor parenting that had created a type of brattiness that I had never seen before. However, upon really observing said behavior, I now feel that it is either autism in some form or a related syndrome that causes tantrums for no reason whatsoever (at lea

5298. What's your fave juice?
I used to make a V-8 type of juice, but I had a centrifugal machine at the time and soft fruits like tomatoes were no-nos (and it didn't occur to me to blend the tomatoes and add to the juice). So I would add a bit of canned tomato juice, along with juiced carrots, celery, beets, and garlic. Even one bulb of garlic is way strong juiced. I remember drinking this concoction once and it brought on a

Juicin'John: NOW you tell me! Aargh!!!! Well, I had researched it as thoroughly as I knew how, and the word on the street was that the Greenstar was not so hot when it came to fruits. It's really okay. I am confident in my choice. I know that the Greenstar is the creme de la creme, but I am not as serious a juicer as some and the Omega will be just fine for my particular needs!

Mislu: I think that kamut is an ancient form of wheat, whereas wheat is hybridized? As with spelt, I think that although kamut has gluten, it is much less than wheat products and that is why it is better tolerated.

Suncloud-
Thanks for the info. I think I stopped short of asking them at what temp they bake their stuff. It's very moist and seemed like it could be raw or close enough. It's a very clean-tasting bread and it seems to be pretty well-tolerated, at least by me. I haven't had it in quite a while and I think I'll get some!

5303. Re: Manna bread?
Mislu: sprouted grains increase nutritional value, as well as digestability, but I would assume that if someone has Chrohn's or Celiac's (gluten intorance issues), they still would not be able to consume rye, wheat, and barley items. I don't have gluten problems that I know about but I would like to either eliminate it altogether or severely limit it from my diet.

Hey Juicin'John, what would you have recommended? I don't recall you giving me your opinion, which I would have valued! I deliberated about this quite a bit. I even thought of foregoing a juicer altogether because I had heard that a Vitamix would be superior (blending whole fruits and veggies). I plan to get one later this year, but I wanted some drinks that weren't thick and taking a n

Plainlydressed: Well, I ended up ordering the Omega 8006...I can't wait to try all the special features! (I had always wanted a Greenstar, but when I heard that it didn't do fruits all that well, along with the price, led me to my choice.)Thanks again for your input!

Whew! Thanks for the affirmation! I just read someone on here who ordered a Champion, which started my head a'spinning once again. I did consider the Champion, as well. I have heard many good things about its durability. I think what tipped me towards the Omega was that I heard that it does greens really well. Even the lauded Greenstar supposedly isn't all that when it comes to fruit. In any case

Mmm...massive stools...LOL. Thanks for the visuals, Yogi! But seriously, I don't see elimination on steroids as a bad thing, although I know that gluten products can create hyperactive colon activity, especially for those sensitive to gluten.
What I really was trying to get at was whether some of you folks ever eat the stuff or if it's even considered a raw item. I know that one type of manna

I deliberated for a while, but finally chose this model and brand. Why? Well, I was torn between getting a Vitamix right now and just skipping a juicer. On disccounterjuicers.com they posted the question of juicers vs. high speed blenders. They quoted George Malkumus who mentioned about fiber not allowing nutrients to be absorbed very well.

I cannot remember where I read this (probably some raw book) but the author said that they weren't sure about how high a temp the bread is baked at, but they said it's probably okay.
Has anyone ever had this brand of bread? I have. It's stored in the freezer at Whole Foods and other natural stores. It's very moist and made with sprouted grains. It also does not have added sweetners, as I reca

I am nothing close to an expert on raw foods, but in 2004 I did an experiment: I decided to go vegan for six months (I was already vedge, but still ate dairy/eggs). I even eshewed honey, which is a toughie because so many health things have it in their products. My other rules were no caffeine (not even chocolate), avoid eating out totally, and no packaged stuff (save for the occasional times out
