Mine's a lot like this too. I add cilantro, cucumber and use hemp seeds. It's really, really good.
Telefunken, great post. You expressed many of my own thoughts.
I thought raw food should be about freedom, but I see a lot of dogma and people having no compunction about dictating the way others should approach raw and living foods.
I don't hav...
Hi there! I'm from DC myself. There is a raw Meetup group for the NoVA/DC/MD area, in case you weren't aware of it:
http://www.meetup.com/RawNOVA/
Welcome, and best of luck on your raw journey!
Green tea, Ezekiel sprouted tortillas; vegan food if dining out and no raw options.
When I began, I saw a recipe by Storm Taliferro for raw tabouli that I loved and still use. Rather than using bulgur, he substitutes raw almonds processed to the same consistency as bulgur. I substituted hemp seeds for the almonds. It's really mor...
A friend told me about it--she went raw because of health problems. I did some research and decided to try it myself--the main thing I really liked, aside from the health benefits, were the fabulous recipes!

Mera Magic Meraa said… - Wahe Guru... so nice to meet you... I just started a Kundalini Yoga group here. I actually grew up partially in the NOVA area, my dad has almost always worked in D.C. I've spent a decent bit of time there, I'm always planning to do more visiting. I love the Yogi Bhajan quote of course...

I am not handy enough.
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...
thanks LL...
ohhh Vamps,you are cute
what "groundbreaking discoveries" have been made in recent years, just asking ;)
I only use them if necessary, like if Im ordering at a restaurant, or if someone asks me about my diet.
yes people seems to have this tendency, I do too...
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...
I write poems (mostly in Seussian rhyme), articles on health, and am working on a couple of books on health...
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.
I'm assuming "fasting properly" means RESTING while fasting?
Come on woman! No time like the present! We may now have one more spot for our March 20 to May 22 internship session; this is truly a life-changing program and an amazing bargain...
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...
GASP! I would never accuse you of such. Take that back right now.
