Having some fun with your produce... lol....
September 21
hmmm, i have the bladder of a kitten and my green juice doesn't hurt me so, but then i am almost always and immediately running around at work, which i think puts a stop to the need to pee thing. don't drink it too fast may be my only advice-sorry.

Could it be unrelated? A low-level UTI?

are you putting any fruit in it as well? how much are you drinking?

I've peed 7 times in 3 hours. And it comes on very quickly & it's painful if I try to hold it. I don't think this is the ideal situation.
August 26
You're acting as if that's a bad thing. One should urinate about 8 to 12 times a day.

Everyone has different opinions I guess. I for one am no expert in any food related field but it just seems to me that I digest food better drinking LOTS of water, and I feel better. I think it really goes back to doing what feels right to your ow...

I don't use toothpaste. Haven't in... mmm about 5 years. I get my teeth cleaned every 6 months & my dentist said it's fine. I just floss & brush twice daily.
August 22
LOL well it seems logical to me, too, but a LOT of different sources I've read (Natalia Rose's books being one) have said that you shouldn't drink water with your meals because it dilutes your body's natural enzymes, making it harder to digest foo...

Of course you should drink water with your meals.

I was listening to a podcast on oneradionetwork and the doc said adding raw honey to your juice will keep the enzymes intact, if you were planning on drink it later and not within the 15min

Roselene- I have reverse osmosis water delivered to my house & that's what I used.

Green Juice Gives Me Urgency & Frequency!

Caffeine has always given me urgency/frequency. I have avoided it (not necessarily for that reason) but since I've started drinking a big green juice every morning I've noticed that same feeling- almost painful need to pee. Why is this happening! I hope it goes away soon.

Allergic to Buckwheat Groats!

Oh no! I just found out tonight I am SEVERELY allergic to buckwheat groats... I had some buckwheat groat cereal recently that gave me an itchy mouth/throat, but it had pecans in it so I thought it was that (I have a mild nut allergy, too). Then I tried another buckwheat cereal that contained no nuts, and it happened again, only worse this time- difficult airway, tingling gums, etc. I thought maybe it was the date sugar in that one... until tonight. My super friend Cyndi made me some dehydrated g… Continue

Coconut Butter - How to Heat?

Do you guys just heat it in a pot on the stove, making sure it doesn't get above 115? A double boiler? The microwave? Mine is SUPER solid & I can barely get a spoon in there to scoop it out. I don't have the option of setting it in the sun right now.

Meat, Cheese, & Dairy

"Are you trying to lose weight? I know how you can lose a lot really fast. Have you ever tried the Atkins diet? That's what I'm doing. All I've eaten for 10 days is meat, cheese, and dairy & I've already lost 9 lbs!"

Actual lunchtime conversation... I had no idea what to say. I mentioned vegetables, colon health.

"Oh, I've been eating celery sticks. You know, low carb stuff."

*blink blink*

I took a bite of my lacinato kale salad with meyer lemon marinade instead of saying anything.

Hey Gwen, thanks for the tip! I'm going to get the rest completed in 6 days and will try hot water. The hot water of a shower feels a.ma.zing on it!

Another way to think about this is that "frugivore" is a word used by scientists to describe any animal that eats a fruit-based diet (including virtually all of the anthropoid primates). "Frugivore" has an accepted scientific definition. "Fruitari...

Hi Priyam and RGG, Even blending them is a big step down in quality from eating them whole, for a number of reasons. The pre-chewing argument -- often heard -- doesn't really carry much weight as the benefit of chewing in the mouth is that any re...

Try this. I found out about it when I worked at Jubbs longevity. There is absolutely no aftertaste and a bottle lasts forever. I've been using it for years. Lucky Vitamin has amazing prices on many things too. http://www.luckyvitamin.com/item/ite...

I like to do fasts as well and I think the power in fasting is that its a remedial action, one part of the process of purifiying. For instance if you feel you have a lot of non-virtuous residue or spiritual obstacles to remove, you generate regret...
