The heart is considered a yin organ in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It correlates with the color green in yogic understanding. The heart has more neurons than the brain. This tells us a lot about this organ, since the allopathic belief is that it only pumps blood throughout the body. This is of course, completely false. The heart does a lot more than pump blood! It is the center point for our emotions and feelings! ;)… Continue

(The above pic isn't mine, I just love it for this post)
When I got home, I ate an entire bar of organic 72% dark chocolate, and a small bowl of organic oatmeal with sunflower seed butter (i had mad cravings due to PMS). Then I sat down to do homework. As I got close to finishing, I s… Continue
For the past month, I've been eating lots of greens and feeling great! Then I slept over at a friends and had some cookies, etc. and I felt just awful for the whole day and the day after that. As soon as I got back home, I made a beautiful bountiful salad and a green… Continue
Mother nature tends to provide us, the human animals, with a plethora of foods that grow around us naturally. Without complicating the preparation of these foods too much, I can say that I best enjoy eating them as they are. Of course, we now call those foods "Wild Edibles", because we've grown so accustomed to eating a diet consisting of domesticated plants.
All the domesticated plats we eat today were once wild plants. Through selective growing, we've now turned prickly and bitter lettuce int… Continue

We had some unexpected guests over a few nights ago and decided to through together a quick dinner. I hadn't been shopping this week so the pickings were a bit slim but managed to throw together a salad that was quite surprising. It wasn't so much the salad part as it was the dressing. Everyone was raving over it including those non-raw, especially the dressing.
Salad:
Spinach
Fancy green beans cut into 1 inch pieces
grape tomatoes cut in half
Dressing:
Olive oil lightly drizzled on greens to… Continue

Hey everyone!
It isn't June 1st yet but I've started my transition. Yesterday my husband and I went to an asian foods store in town. It had fresh produce and almost everything else I was afraid we wouldn't find. I'm still stressing about this raw foods diet because I don't have the equipment I need and I really have no idea what I'm doing. David, my hubby, decided to do this diet with me *suprise* since he is a big meat eater! I'm impressed. I'm the only veggie in both our families but it's gre… Continue
(note: the above shirt was the shirt I wore today. It is in fact green, not yellow. The recycle logo is also green, not yellow. My comforter is green, not gray. Just fyi)
So after finding out about a cyst i have above one of my front teeth (although otherwise my teeth and gums are… Continue

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.
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...
