yeah miso is really salty. the way the fermentation process works is that the high salt content essentially creates a selective environment for certain types of friendly microorganisms while preventing the baddies from growing in it. miso is ofte...

I know it's too late, but if my parents had insisted, I would have also insisted that THEY get blood work done too so it can be compared. If you have a couple of deficiencies, it might mean anything (you could have been far worse off when you were...

thanks so much! i appreciate the advice. but, about miso, how would one eat that raw? the miso i've seen is incredibly salty and i couldn't imagine consuming it alone.. but maybe that's not raw miso?

Kim gave some great advice. Right on! There are always negative people in this world. We can't control other peoples' ideas. With that in mind, you should just focus on your diet and nevermind the naysayers. Don't try to change their diets and don...

this is smart from your parent's perspective. and this is a true test of whether or not your diet is bringing you up to speed in regards to deficiencies, etc. I know a lot of raw foodies who have clinical deficiencies. many refuse to ignore them...

Is is just me or does it seem like everyone besides us is crazy? I'm not 100% but I'm pretty close... nonetheless it's pretty easy to understand that raw foods are the best source of food you can eat. People who eat junk food on a regular basis wi...

raw discouragement from friends and family

it's mainly my mom, who loves to cook (healthy vegan food at that) but i've been getting a lot of non-supportive feedback since going fully raw (today is day 12). i feel great and have been eating a lot, but my mom claims i'm "fasting" which is certainly not true (she says this after seeing me eat five ears of corn in front of her). luckily i'm not letting her constant negativity affect my decisions, but life would be much easier without her bickering. why do non-raw foodies feel the need to spe… Continue

Hugs and best wishes to you!

I would encourage you to eat oranges instead Vampi. Whole food is always best. Oranges are a perfect food; lots of sugar, and lots of fiber to slow down the absorption into the blood stream. Take out all the fiber and you've got a blood sugar spik...

since I find no reason to believe in 'allergies' against 'natural' appropriate stuff, I would think it's more likely just the fact that pineapple if bought in store is pretty much always unripe. Not that it matters to the situation perhaps. ...but...

Nicolas have you ever had a pineapple that does not give symptoms. In my experience around these hoods where we are there are practically no ripe pineapples..or perhaps a few dunno

Yes ma'am. Resting as completely as possible with eyes closed; getting enough water; avoiding too much sun; avoiding toxic substances (personal care products, cleaning products, etc.)

I enjoy writing about the deepest darkest secrets of my heart, about things I dont want to share with anyone..or lack the guts to share. Love letters mostly, but not always. If I have a dream I want to remember Ill write it down.

Thanks Priyam! You are very kind and generous with your appreciation, and I appreciate the specificity. I agree with you completely that fasting is generally very poorly understood, mostly feared, and almost always avoided. Though someone once su...
