maca??
I've been experimenting with various superfoods. After 3 plus years raw I thought I should see what the fuss is all about.
So I love the algaes, and a couple of other things which have made me feel great. But then there's Maca...now I always thought that should be The One for me because I used to have a hormone inbalance which has been healing since I went raw, and I know maca's supposed to be great for that. So I tried it, I put it in some orange juice and just chugged it down, I retched straight away, but I managed to keep it down. Then after a couple of hours of what felt like sea sickness I threw up violently everywhere. This was hours ago and I still feel pretty rotten.
Has anyone else had this kind of reaction with maca? I had 2 tablespoons of organic maca whch I got off Shazzie's website.

I read somewhere that maca has stronger effects on men. Maybe this is one of them. Or maybe I just need a stronger dose. Obviously I'll have to research this now and secretly add it to my husbands smoothies.
Also, the sunfood.com website has a product called extreme maca, not sure how much more intense the results would be.

I'd be hesitant about ascribing sexual potency enhancement qualities to maca. Earlier in this thread a woman was saying how positive it's affected her, but not her husband. "Billions" is saying how it's improved his, but at 22!?! I use it daily, about a tablespoon a day. I don't know I'd say one way or the other whether it has had an effect. It hasn't hurt, I can say that much. Placebo? And besides, how long would one have to take it for it to work?

You're suppose to be able to pick the leaf out of the middle - and it comes out realllllllll easy - if it's ripe.

Your dog is sooo cute! I have a dog too and two cats, and I looove them! I feed them wheatgrass and they actually choose that before regular grass wich they normally chew on in the garden.
I decided to have a 50/50 raw/cooked meal at Vita last night, having had a desire for warm meals for last couple of weeks. They had a Vegan Paella, it was amazing but it's only the second time I have had grains for a year and I had headache soon a...

It's actually surprisingly easy once you get the hang of it. No machete required. Shave off the husk at the pointed top close to the shell. Then poke the point of a knife in about 2 or 3 cm out from the centre and wiggle it about until it pierces ...
Isn't it?!? I personally can't think of anything more visually appealing then beautiful fruit :)
"Nice" to see that I'm not alone in this. I think I'll be going for a short water fast then. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I believe two out of the four pineapples I've had the last several months have been alright with me, after having let them "ripen" for some days. The one that turned out the best was one I stored in a bag of ripening bananas. I did the same t...
