while i think that's a terrible metaphor, WY, I totally see your point. I didn't mean to try anyone's patience. Not being at all scientifically minded, I found the whole thing about amps, hp, rpms, etc really fascinating even though I know there are many threads on this board where people are saying the same things over again. Anyway, thank you all again for sharing your experience and your ve

I chew on licorice bark/root. You can chew it for a long time so it can satisfy the gum craving.

It would seem that rpm can't be everything since both dmartinez and wy prefer the vitamix over the waring when the vitamix has 37000 rpm and the waring has 45000 rpm. anyway thanks for your help. maybe i'm a closet geek forfinding all this technical stuff interesting, but i do!

oh... i was quoted $800 for a 3.5hp blender and after looking some more I realize I can get one for $300-400. Now I just have to decide waring vs vita prep, and there has been loads written about that here, so thanks!

I am sure this question has been answered before, but I couldn't find it. I want to get a high speed blender. I am pretty sure I want a 3hp because I want to make green smoothies that are well blended and not bitty. I also want to make nut butters. I am told I need at least a 3hp blender, but 3.5hp would be much better. A 3hp costs about $350, which is a significant amount of money for me, b

Hmm, i have never thought about the possibility of gall stones. I have pain on the left side, though. Since I first wrote this post I stopped eating apples as the first meal of the day, and ate more slowly if I was going to eat more than one. Sometimes I feel a twinge in my shoulders still, but none of the flu like symptoms or metallic taste. I did find another person who experiences shoulder

69. Re: Bananas
Haha. Over the last two days me and my friend dumpstered about 70-80 bananas. The only reason I haven't eaten them all is because I am trying to control my calorie/sugar intake at the moment, but I have been eating about 7 a day. Can't say I notice any ill effects.

What is that stuff? That does not look appetizing to me at all. I know what you mean. In my mind, the worst misuse of a vegetable award goes to that dish with baked sweet potato and marshmallows that people make around this time of year. Who thought of that?

After reading the experiments done by Bass, he has lost all credibility in my mind. Anyone who thinks that we can apply results taken from animals living in cages and eating a highly controlled diet to humans, knows extremely little about nutrition or human biology in my opinion.

Cynthia,
That is really odd. I also sometimes have to lay down. Yes! the shoulder pain is definitely the most perplexing part of this!
Anyway, here's my update. I noticed that I don't always have this experience every time I eat apples. I am not sure what the variable is, but it seems to be worse when I eat on an empty stomach and last time I ate an apple it didn't happen at all, but my

Dave, I will try removing the skin. I get this reaction even if I just eat one (although it is large - fuji organic). It also seems to be worse if I eat it on an empty stomach. It seems weird to me because when I searched for apples and indigestion, most links were about how apples help with digestion.
Ryan, that's interesting. I had kombucha yesterday after eating an apple and the pain we

I think that someone might have ready posted something about this, but I can't find it. Whenever I eat an apple I have this weird indigestion. I have stomach pain, similar to heartburn, pain in my shoulders and upper back, a slight headache and a weird, slightly metallic taste in my mouth. The closest I can describe it is either I feel like I have the flu or an intense detox. It lasts about 20

I have really low blood pressure (it has been high 50's to low 80's) and I was wondering what the connection is with blood sugar, that is why you were asked to stay away from fruit. I am 100% raw with about 50% (volume wise) of my diet from sweet fruit.

haha - i was just going to post a entry with the same issue. On two separate occasions this week when I ate an apple first thing in the morning I got heartburn and flu like symptoms for about 1/2 hour. Every other point of the day I am fine even if I eat a meal of 3 apples... I have no idea what causes it, but I think I am going to skip breakfast...

Coco,
I am tremendously glad that changing your attitude lifted the pain you experienced with menstruation, but that did not work for me. In fact, because for nearly 20 years I could not find the cause of my pain I was left to believe that if I only had a "better attitude" I would not suffer so much. This thinking was actually a roadblock to finding solutions that work - addressin

Thanks for the info. It is great to hear from people who don't think that wondering about eliminating menstruation means you have a mental disorder.

So I have been thinking about menstruation and the raw food diet again recently (mainly through re-reading this article often linked in this forum: ) and I'd like to conduct a little survey if people don't mind answering some personal questions.

It is funny that the author seems to be saying that people's personal habits are not responsible for cancer and then goes on to say a major cause of breast cancer was women deciding (with the help of doctors and pharmaceutical companies) to take pills made from the urine of pregnant horses. Now I think blame is a stupid concept, but even the author has to agree that if those women made different

I've been basically 100% raw for nearly a year. I have eaten a few cooked things in that time but it was always been in really small amounts. In the past few months I have tried to eat a high fruit, low fat diet and in general it has been good for me, although I sometimes felt I wasn't getting enough calories.

Some things that have helped me:
Don't try to loose weight. I know this sounds contradictory, but if you restricting your diet too much at some point your body will revolt.
Manage your calories. Use nutritiondata.com, fitday.com or whatever to see what your calorie intake is. Don't assume because you are eating lots of fruit and minimal fats that you are not getting calories. One day I

I tried to look for this question in the archives because I am sure it has been asked before, so forgive me for being repeatitive...
I am pretty sure that if I freeze something I've got fresh that it is still raw - only the cell structure has broken down.
But what about bought frozen fruit and veg? Is there a standard process done to frozen food that makes it not raw?

I've had similar issues with my mother (even though I haven't lived at home for 15 years). Since high school I have been a (cooked) vegan and she always would think my diet was too extreme and unhealthy. She could only see my diet as how it affected her - she was embarrased, thought people would look at her funny. Extended family gatherings were trying. With us, and probably a lot of people,
