It probably depends mostly on what type of juicer was used. The auger type is supposed to be the best. I have the Jack Lalanne Power Juicer, which juices by basically shredding the vegetables/fruits. I find that it does a poor job juicing small it...
Profile Information
- About Me:
- I'm a sociologist, doctoral student, and music lover. I enjoy photography (especially photographing raw foods!) I maintain a blog where I encourage everyone to educate themselves about raw foods nutrition so we can know what is myth, what is fact, and what is yet unknown. Oh yeah- it's also a chronicle of my journey to health through raw foods. http://blog.rawodyssey.com
- How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
- Be kind and welcoming to those of use who struggle with food addiction or are trying to lose weight. It isn't nice to see us described in harsh terms like "garbage trucks" and "fat a$$es"- terms I've read here. Recognize that we're all here for the same reason: to attain health through a personally designed diet based on raw foods.

Safest Non-Organic Foods for my Budget
I'm collecting unemployment right now, which means I earn about what I'd be making if I worked a minimum wage job. I have to really watch my pennies now, so organic foods are not at the top of my grocery list these days. I've read several articles about non-organic produce that don't retain as many pesticides, making them safer bets for penny pinchers like me. This Creative Commons-licensed list ranks produce by the amount of pesticides found in them. The topmost foods have the most pesticides w… Continue

Being a Fool in 2009
Are you familiar with the Fool of the Tarot card deck? The Fool represents new beginnings unfettered by the past. The Fool has no real goal and no preplanned route- in fact, in the Ryder-Waite deck, he's about to unwittingly step off a cliff. OOPS!
In some ways I see myself as the Fool for 2009: I want to step off the cliff, because I want to leave behind my old baggage of judgments, ideas and analyses, falling into a new world that I learn about as I experience it. In this new world I have no… Continue

Ode to my Raw Twitter Buddies
You make me laugh when I'm feeling blue
You applaud my silly raw twaikus
You read my blogs and make comments
About my newest raw experience
And when a tear or two I've shed
You point to better days ahead
You do funny things like impersonate Spock
You crazy Twitter friends sure do rawck!
You make up silly words and sounds
And post the best juice recipes around
You send me links to funny videos
That make green smoothies squirt from my nose… Continue

AwesomeUniverse!!! said… - HI!!!!!!!!! Actually I was a sceptic at first too- you can tell your friend with arthritis that.. I wish I had complained more too because I don't think people at the tree knew how much pain I was in when I first got there- the students or average person there..
The main healing aspect was possibly the silica that is in cucumbers and other vegetables. I drank as much green juice as they'd let me.. I also bought a tachyon silica supplement about a month in that seemed to really accelerate my healing. I think alergic reactions to diry and grains really aggravate arthritis and keep the body from being ble to eliminate deposits on bones.
Being in a wheelchair is no way to live if you don't have to. Your friend should try raw there is nothing to lose but pain!

Ian said… - I found an old response of yours about a post of mine concerning identity politics, with regards to "eating" raw foods and not necessarily "being" a raw foodist. I came to the conclusion that you understood exactly what I was referencing, when you said that "what you eat is not a political or spiritual statement". Very nicely put.
I haven't seen too much activity from you on here lately, but I hope all is going well for you.

Wendi Dee said… - Aww, Sweet Allison!! I'm sending LOTS and LOTS of LOVING energy to you!! I'm so sorry you are experiencing all of this. I hope someday you'll look back on it and see that it was some sort of turning point in your life, when it all happened for a reason that ended up being good in the end.
Lots and LOTS of love to you!
XOXOXOXO

Rawbin said… - Hello lovely lady!! I just noticed your comment on one of my posts back in January. It's funny, I liked your answer back then and again today when you replied to kevingianni! (raw percentages) You are so right not to get caught up in what percent I am, but what percentage my food is! Hope you're having a nice weekend!
