1) What do you buy at your local natural foods store?
The freshest looking produce i can find! =^-^= I get my hard to find seeded grapes, nuts and organic greens from sunharvest.
2) What do you buy from your local farmers market?

i think 2 of every having 2 of everything is gonna increase the problem
if you like bananas, how about 4 bananas, as much romaine as you can enjoy and top it up with water
or blend 7 oranges with celery and lots of water
simplifying while incre...
I'm with Elbow! You may want to start cutting down. You'll find that the higher raw you are, the more 'in tune' you are with how food affects your body. Even raw foods affect you! I find that maca and cacao make me feel jittery, especially cacao. ...
yeah i think the complexity of my smoothies is due to the fact i was raised in a family that ate 1 of this or 1 of that.. loved salad bars.. 1 scoop of everything the salad bar offered.. have a fruit? sure, 1 orange.. next fruit? 1 apple, 1 banana...
pasta/dumplings/bread = lights out.
gluten´s always dangerous
still, i want more! I've never been healthy, i don't even know what that could feel like.be healthy and i want what has been denied me. Health.
sounds like you are doing great to me....
what i put in my green juices is usually 50% to 75% greens from romaine lettuce, cilantro, celery, cucumber, parsley, spinach, kale, aloe, cabbage, and any other green i happen across like fennel or bok choy. the rest of my green juices have thing...
What are you putting in your green juices? I have a tendency to be similarly anxious, but really feel soothed by simple juices.
I agree with Elbow! It's easy to fall into a trap of sales gimmicks, especially when you're desperate for change. Beli...
¨does anyone think that there might be another reason for my inability to get strict with myself?¨
1) besides the fact that when things become strict, rather than fun, most of us run as fast as possible in the other direction
2) greens are notor...
I haven't done a parasite cleanse. That will be interesting to see if it helps. I heard papaya seeds can kill parasites and caprilic acid can kill candida. Bacopa can help appetite. I have tried it and it worked for me. I have it in powder form. I...
I've been a 90% raw foodist for 7 months now, and i want to go 100%. most days I'm 100% but like clock work i find myself eating stuff that is less then healthy for me. it's seems the more healing and cleansing my diet the harder and sooner i fall...

yeah! i actually have wheatberries to grow my own wheatgrass but i keep on having the same problem no matter which berries i use, even organic ones.. i get a cloud of white fungus around the roots that will eventual;ly overflow the tray. i get the...
Yes I would make an exception for durian right at the beginning! I read some stuff recently on how healing it is and did it for 3 days with ginger, ice and a little banana because I had a really intense sore throat. It really helped!!
Also- maybe...
I was startled i think 3/28/2009 by the fact that my fatty liver = 100% chance Diabetes is in my near future (especially considering my family history)... So while trying to find a cure for my liver and a host of other minor aliments, I stumbled across the truth on youtube about Raw Food.. It seems while yes, it will take time, 100% of my ailments will go away with 100% Raw food... And that is what I'm researching now! but I'm only 80% due to lack of knowledge and not beating myself up over eating food I already bought from before I decided to go Raw. =^-^=

Hi honey. Youtube has some helpful videos of David Wolfe and Dr. Robert Cassar. The book"Superfoods' is the best I've read . www.sunfood.com has it.Also Davids www.longevitynowprogram.com videos are super, they cover all you need I think, and I've researched this area 40 years now. It's worth the $$ to save the time doing yr own research that someone else has already done. Beauty and love to you,Rev.Nik
