Definitely greens. Spinach, kale, chard, so on and so forth, all have a wild amount of calcium! Be sure to get your daily 20 minutes of sunshine, because Vitamin D is needed for your body to properly absorb calcium. Good luck! :)
Sesame seeds\tahini are high in it and dark leafy greens are high in it. Horsetail tea is good for rebuilding joints and bones as well..Seaweed is high in it. I am sure there are more things.
If you have weakening bones you should get ph strips a...

Hi Cassie: You look beautiful! I had an eating disorder for a number of years before, during, and after college, but I overcame it. What worked for me was reading medical studies about the effects of binge/purging on the body. It doesn't work, and...

Best natural sources of calcium??
Hi all!
I was just wondering what are the best natural ways to increase your calcium intake? I have mild osteopenia, and I need to take more calcium, but something is telling me that pills are not necessarily the best way to go for my body or for optimum absorption. Any suggestions?
In love,
Cassie

an eating disorder
Hi all,
I've been struggling with an eating disorder for the past 3 years. From bulimia to anorexia to binge eating I have experienced the extreme pain, the isolation, the depression, and all that accompanies this downward spiral. One day you stop and look at your life and wonder how things ever got to be this way and how you will ever get out. I have undergone a journey. I have come so far. And yet I feel like there is so much farther left to go, and I just don't know if I can make it.

- Hey Cassie
I am hosting a girls night out potluck at my house an I would love it if you could come. I recently moved from Brazil to IL and would like to meet like minded women. I just got a raw foods kitchen from husband for my bday and thought that would be a perfect reason to host my potluck. Just bring your favorite raw dish and we will share conversations, laughter and wonderful raw foods! :)
Where: Schaumburg, IL
When: June 5th, 2009 @ 6pm
Please let me know if you can attend and I will send you my number and address.
Hopefully I will see you on June 5th!
xoxo,
Izabel

Kiani said… - When traveling plan ahead. Find health food stores and raw food cafes in the area. Bring a salad with you on the plane or in the car for your next meal or two until you get settled. I just learned that I can bring fresh Coconuts and live Coconut Sprouts with me when I go to Las Vegas or California!
Soak up as much info on raw foods from youtube or from reading books and be prepared for anyone's reaction when they see you eating/breathing/living differently. The best defense is knowledge. Don't allow their false beliefs stemming from addiction, propaganda, and marketing bring you down or keep you from sharing the truth with others.
Enjoy your journey towards fabulous health!

I think the green is more "leafy" tasting (which I don't mind) but doesn't have the same long-lasting aftertase that the white does. I love the Wisdom of the Ancients green stevia liquid. I've finally made friends with stevia, LOL! I get it from V...
