• Broccoli can be eaten raw, but why would you want to? It does not taste good, which should tell you something. It is virtually indigestible due to the high cellulose content and will cause gas. Stick with foods that actually taste good in their raw …

• I don't think the coconut butter would blend properly unless the smoothie was warmed to it's melting temp. Besides, adding coconut butter would add far to much fat content IMO.

• Blue Eyes, Yes, I have that book. But you know what…the only water I drink is a glass first thing in the morning to help flush the bowels and perhaps a glass in the sauna. I am never thirsty because of my high water content diet of raw fruits and ve…

• Blue Eyes, I never said you did. Just stating a fact regarding water retention in the body and excess dietary salt. Which I’m sure everyone knows as it is common knowledge. By the way, I have been studying physiology, anatomy, and nutrition for over…

• Oh no….here we go again. At risk of offending the many salt addicts on this forum…salt or soduim chloride is an inorganic mineral. Only plants can assimilate inorganic minerals like sodium chloride in the soil. Humans cannot, irregardless of what ev…

• “But the Pacific brand of almond milk is the closest to raw” That statement makes no sense. All packaged almond/soy/rice milk is pastuerized at 70 deg. C at least. They certainly are not “close” to raw. Make your own almond milk by soaking 1 cup of …

• I’ll say it one last time because people are just not getting it. The body needs organic sodium found in raw fruit and veggies not salt. Human beings are not bags of salt and water as achin70 says. And the other statements she makes are even more la…

• I can’t believe people are even asking this question? It has been well known for more than 50 years that sodium chloride (table salt) is very bad for the body. Salt causes hypertension, osteoporosis, and significantly increases the risk of stomach c…

• Many people fail on the raw lifestyle because they try to make raw versions of their SAD favorites. Far too time consuming if you ask me. And often these dishes are high in fat and use incompatible ingredients as far as food combining is concerned. …

• Kelley, Doing ab work is not going to get rid of the fat around your waist. It is just going to build the muscles underneath the fat. My wife can tell you the same thing after trying for years. Yoga and pilates are great but their main purpose is no…

• Enemas are harmful and a waste of time. I had been occassionally doing them for 15 years with no positve results. An enema only goes as far as the colon. All the rotting mucoid plaque is in the 33 ft small intestine. The body is self-cleansing. Eat …
