Diana, thank you! I think I have to get some raw honey, and yes, use with moderation... So hard, I´m not a very "moderation" kind of person! The noodle thing was a success and a few other things have turned out eally well, when a drop or two, or 1...
HI Anna - I've been thinking about the agave vs raw honey for yeast and I think that probably, the raw honey is a better bet because it contains anti-bacterial compounds. Also, although agave is more diabetic safe, raw honey is the more natural ch...
I´m totally with you on the licorice and after taste thing! But I just made a dressing for my veggie noodles and arame with tamari, ginger, garlic, lime and one drop of liquid stevia, to round it off, and it turned out beautifully! So I guess a li...
I don't like stevia either, unfortunately, except in salad dressings (with lime it can be ok). I hate licorice too - think that its a palate thing. Green apple - great! And I agree with Gena about the raw honey. Personally, I am ok with a teaspoon...
yes keep the green apple, you are doing great!
Donna Gates in the Body Ecology Diet Book mentions that it's ok if you are having candida. Agave is refined and not as natural and whole as your green apple. I use it too. Yet i like the liquid stevia...
Hi Anna!
First of all, you should do just fine with granny smith juice for now. Keep it up.
I really, really like the herba dolce and stevia in the raw brands. They, unlike some of the NuNaturals products, don't contain maltodextrin, and I find ...
I´m definately sticking with the apple. I made a green lemonade this morning with stevia and it was discusting! I usually love it. Otherwise I´m really enjoying this, I´ve got the energy back that I first had when I was transitioning and I´m losin...
I would say just stick with the apple. It's obviously working for you. The little bit of sugar it supplies is all natural and combined with all the fiber of the veggies, plus it's own, it should be fine. She mentions in the book that it's fine to ...
Everyone, I need som help! I´m not doing very well with the stevia (I live in Sweden and can´t find the NuNaturals brand here). It just tastes artifical to me. I´m following Natalia´s Detox for women plan so other sweeteners (she doesn´t mention a...
I´m a classical singer and teacher. A newbie to this raw food thing, but I¨m loving it so far! I want to lose weight, heal IBS, joints and back issues and get more energy. All on a small budget...

We dont want organic pasteurized, that is the same as conventional to us. Its been treated with something to kill it because that it what people do kill beautiful things it seems. Dead people.
Hi Jeff,
Every organism is completely self-healing. When sick or badly injured enough, every species will lie down and rest completely. Fasting itself has no curative power, but when we stop processing food (the single most energy expensive proce...
OMG
steamed? I needed a nutcracker to open them and it was really hard to get them opened. You think? My pristine lips touched something that was steamed>??
My grandmother turned me on to this one.
What about that little rock poppy segment in the middle that doesnt quite fit in with the rest of it?
Its beautiful though, 80's ruled the world of great sappy songs.
Writing is very healing for me. It brings out my soul and allows it to shine. Writing is beneficial in many ways. I will write more about this later. =)
