It sounds good, but I have to say that Brazil is where I read a long article a few years back about how homeless children there have been almost routinely killed with all the respect exterminators use in killing rats by the local authorities. I would need to see a lot more information - but I certainly hope things are changing there in a HUGE way...!!! This could just be PR, just like what we ge

FYI: David Wolfe sells very few superfoods anymore. He sold Sunfood well over a year ago.
For me, he has been a lifesaver. It is much easier to demineralize than it is to remineralize, and he has taught me so much about the importance of adding minerals to my diet.
It is true that if you try everything he talks about you will go broke unless you have a good bit of money, but that is the ki

I don't much care to eat flax seeds either -- and sunflower seeds just once in a while.
Two GREAT seeds I like much better -- and are both with Omega-3s, woo-woo! -- are chia seeds and hempseeds. I usually have some of one or both of those every day. They are both so small I don't really worry about soaking and sprouting them (and blend them into my super-smoothies).
However, I do try to s

Always remember your dehydrator when fruits, prepared foods or greens are threatening to get too old. You can dehydrate them and save for a hungry rainy day. I just love this aspect of having a dehydrator. Got a friend with too many garden tomatoes? No problem! Homemade "sun-dried" tomatoes. I'm not supposed to eat tomatoes, but I can use a little for seasoning...

P.S. I used to use sesame seeds that still had the hulls on them because of the extra calcium and because it was cheaper too, but since learned that there is a lot of oxalic acid in the hulls, and being someone trying to ix-nay the arthritis I don't want the oxalic acid at all...!

I like my homemade raw tahini better than what comes out of a jar! I can't make it "go liquid" but I grind it up either in a large food processor or small coffee grinder to get it "fine" and then add that dry to my homemade hommus, and it works great and is a LOT less expensive (and less rancid) than the premade tahinis.
I have also run the HULLED sesame seeds through the

I was at a raw potluck earlier this year and someone had brought chia chips that were SO thin, crispy and delicious!
I don't remember if I even found out who made them, but I did find out that the only ingredient was the chia seeds.
I tried soaking some in water and then pouring them on the Teflex sheets of the dehydrator. The results were "eh."
Any ideas anyone? I don't like

Sorry I do not have time to read all the posts. Maybe someone has already said this:
One modality that is especially helpful with acne is using healing clay. You could do it two or more times a day, let it dry on your skin where the acne is, then wash off. Add a pure oil such as olive oil to the skin afterwards if it leaves your skin feeling too dry. This has been very helpful to many people,

I understand your experience! I have finally seemingly gotten over my bingeing problem. (I am 77 lbs. lighter than I was about 5 years ago and still have more to lose but seem to be losing nearly a pound a week this year.)
For me it helped a LOT to eliminate the most common allergen foods from my diet -- e.g., all wheat and gluten, cacao, eggs (cooked or raw), dairy (cooked or raw), the night

Berkey water filters are portable -- and you can buy the extra filter to filter out the fluoride as well (which most filters do not do).
Below is one of many websites that sell them. They are portable but NOT small:
However, when you need small there are also the Berkey sports bottles.

When you say "lots of greens" are you talking at least one full bunch or pound of greens per day? If not, try that. It sure helped me! (Must be juiced or blended.)

I wish I could trust the FDA. But since they didn't bother to TEST to see if GE and GMO foods are safe, since they approved aspartame, since they often try to defeat good foods that would compete with big corporate lobbies, I have NO faith in the FDA. I'm just saying...

Cashews and peanuts are also very allergenic for a lot of people.
I think going with seeds is the best bet.

I make nutbutters with my Cuisinart, but always end up adding some oil. And rost0037 is right, it's not as creamy, but that's cool with me.
I process the nuts dry for a long time, then turn off the food processor to let it cool down for about 30 minutes, then process again, and so on, or add some oil to shorten the process too. I have never not added oil however.

I make a very simple sauerkraut that is heavy hands-on with stone mortar and pestle -- pound the sauerkraut a lot after shaving green or red organic cabbage in thin slices, putting in a Mason jar, mixing in a little good quality sea salt, maybe a little organic seaweed (or not), often the juice or mush of one organic cucumber (to help make the sauerkraut wetter without adding water), often adding

P.S. After a month of using only agave nectar as a sweetener, I can say for sure that even agave is too high-glycemic for me. This is why I am just learning how to drink my tea unsweetened (especially since I don't want tea that is muddied with another color as it would be with green stevia and I don't trust the refined stevias in liquid or white powder form, which I have heard through the David

I had been trying to "go raw" (did so quite successfully for a couple of years there) for over 15 years.
Recently my financial situation came down to an all-time and long-winded LOW and I could no longer afford even to get the ingredients for one green smoothie per day -- and felt hungry and desirous of food too much of the time, which caused me to binge eat on really bad foods.

Do you know of other brands of dehydrators with temperature controls under 118 degrees?
Plastic at such lower temperatures does not bother me though.
I worry about stainless steel getting into my food too -- has nickel and cadmium! Though that might not be a problem with a dehydrator.

I've been trying to save up for a 9-drawer Excalibur for months and still have nothing saved toward it, so now I'm thinking I might want to go with the 4-drawer. I know it is a lot less capacity but in addition to being half the price I noticed it uses less wattage when running. (Electric bills run HIGH in my part of the country -- where it even got up to 92 degrees day before yesterday!)

Maybe carpal tunnel? I got that almost 18 years ago and stave off the pain about 99.9% successfully by wearing a Nikken magnet attached to each wrist (held on by a velcro band made for watches but used to use tennis bands, etc.). Keeps the blood vessels opened up and the blood flowing. Has been a miracle in my life (and no, I don't sell Nikken).
