    I live in Bellingham, Washington and we have some great birding opportunities around here: Bald Eagles Great Blue Heron Crows (okay, possibly only MY favorite) Ravens Hawks (Swainsons, RedTail, etc.) Swans (Trumpeter and Tundra - and ocassionally a visitor from Asia, whose name I forget) (in winter) all manner of waterfowl I don't know. I don...

    I don't know too much about it, but recently did some research for a friend. One thing that is a good idea for replacing sweets, is sweet potatoes. They actually have some acivity that helps balance insulin. Another good thing to eat is cinnamon. I realize these pieces of advice seem really small. I'm sure other folks with more experience have some...

    This may sound silly, but what about lightly massing your whole abdomen every day. I once read a very interesting article about IBS (I know, I know) that talked about how the nervous system and its communications with the brain can be in part to blame for elimination problems. I know for a fact that unless I eat 90% raw, I have a FAST top digestion, and...

    Distillation debate aside - you should consider only eating apple cider vinegar, raw, unpasturized with mother in it. This is a good for you vinegar, as opposed to other vinegars which are probably not too good for you anyway,and are acidifying. Make sure to get it in a black bottle or some other colored bottle as the mother gets killed off by light.

    Thanks so much! I'd been looking at the work of Dr. Clemens, and many of those supplements are on his list, but not all. I'll certainly look into adding those. My vet wanted me to add the salmon oil first to see if it helped - I always add everything and then we can't figure out what helped - but that was before we knew how fast things were going to be...

    Actually, Emmett has been eating raw food for some time, totally grain free. I am a bit worried that because for a spell he didn't have any bone, he might've gotten calcium deficiency, which can affect your nerves. And, the good news about DM, if such a thing can exist, is that it is painless -- in fact, what is happening is that he's losing communication...

    Hi all. My Emmett (see avatar) just got diagnosed as probably having Degenerative Myelopathy. This is when the nerves in the spinal column lose their sheath (myelin) and short circuits start happening. He can barely use one of his back legs now. Three weeks ago he was going on 16 mike hikes - now he gets tired too quickly from using his front legs to...

    I just got back from a trip and took walnuts (in shell with nutcracker), avocado, salt & pepper, bars, onion. I didn't take my own water bottle. but I do the raw food thing, eating something like a whole avocado being a normal meal for me. But they didn't bother me about these foodstuffs -- I don't know about prepared foods. Good luck.

    I was a vegan when I went gluten free almost two years ago, and chose to start eating meat. Now I'm back to probably vegan again, but I'll tell you about my journey. To add back, I started with "healthY' lunch meat, like Applegate Farms, etc. I thought since it was really skinny, it would work to introduce slowly. I ate it with mustard and raw sauerkraut...

    When I eat meat, I only eat grass fed organic. We have a nice ranch here by me, and I visited them to check out the conditions. Grass fed beef is way more nutritious than corn fed. But to me, the most important part is ethics - I will not contribute to a system that feeds animals food they are incapable of properly digesting without drugs -- after all...

    my personal guess is that animal fats are healthier uncooked...and we don't typically eat our meat raw. But that's just a guess. The only fat I get that is cooked is coconut oil right now (waiting to eating meat again.)

    I try to do about 70-80% raw, and follow paleo pretty much, save for no sugar or sugary fruits since they bloat me out. I've added buffalo, beef, and ostrich back after going back veggie for a while (changing to raw I went vegan, I think mostly since the "cook" books lean that way). I already feel a bit better adding back the meat, mental-wise. I, too...

    I do not eat grains or dairy or gluten or soy...and a few other things, but anyway.... 1. Green salad plus protein source, such as hamburger patty, buffalo patty, just had ostrich patty yesterday, chicken meat, fish, etc. It should be about 80% salad and 20% protein source. I don't use bun or anything. For dressing I use apple cider vinegar, a bit...

    I can really relate with your fear of vomiting/getting sick. Just a couple days ago a friend of mine told me that a virulent stomach virus was going around town, and my stomach started to hurt the instant he said it. Then, a few days later, he got it, and so did his live-in girlfriend. I was practically panic stricken - afraid to eat anything in case...

    my nutritionist published a book i really like - it is mostly gluten, dairy, soy free - I can't verify right now because I loaned it to my parents. His website is "wholelifenutrition.net". He has some sample recipies on his site. Good luck. Oh yeah, also, raw food cookbooks can be helpful that way - though they like to include raw soy sauce, it can...

    Another factor in handling candida is keeping an alkaline system...acidosis makes it works. This means few or no grains -- let's just say LOTS of veggies (that aren't starchy), almonds are alkaline if you can tolerate them. If you look up acid/alkaline, you'll get some info. A lot of it contradicts itself - what is acid, what is alkaline. anyway, good...

    I have found several culprits for me...but the one that comes to mind is HONEY. I know ... it's supposed to be good for your tummy, even killing off hpylori and other great stuff, help with seasonal allergies, etc. But none of that matters to me, because I don't care about my runny nose when my tummy hurts. Just a thought.

    I would make sure my thyroid was working properly - if it is underactive, it can keep you overweight. And diabetes might be another thing. make sure you don't have some underlying medical condition contributing to it being difficult to lose weight. My sister just got on thyroid meds and has lost 20-30 pounds already. And is happier, and has more hair...

    If their NAME is of import to them, the greenery should be grown from CHIA seeds, a superfood from South America. I put Chia seeds on my salads. They are really good. I'd double check it, though. Chia seeds. Yum.

    Not to play devil's advocate here, but codliver oil is a GREAT supplement. It has omega fatty acids, which most Americans are woefully deficient in; AND vitamin D, a lack thereof which contributes to skin cancer, among other things. Especially in climates that do not get a lot of sun in the offseason, cod liver oil is an excellent thing to add to your...

    if you do try eating 'bland' with the BRAT diet (banana, rice, applesauce, toast?), and don't feel better, consider those things are all relatively high on the glycemic index. Also, fruit is best eaten alone. Of course they say bananas have some quality that firm up the outflow or soften it, depending on what you need - so you might consider that. Also...

    The nutritiousness of whole grains is actually more debated than most folks know. Many grains are high on the glycemic index - that's part of why " whole grains" are better for you, because they re less so. Nonetheless, they are not actually that nutritious. What nutrition is it exactly you are looking for? I'd be happy to search for and suggest other...

    Hi. Since you are new to this whole thing, you might not have figured out which non-wheat flours work well for you. Lots of folks have trouble with tapioca, for example. It does look like high concentrations of sugar can increase diarrhea, though perhaps no cause it, I only researched that for a minute. AS to the itching at night -- I had this VERY...

    Probably not that helpful, but I've been giving it to my dog (for arthritis and digestive issues). He does not seem to get harder stools; they are already pretty hard because he eats raw food. Anyway, sorry not more helpful. Hopefully someone will know.
  25. BRUMI1968
    Thanks. I actually ended up buying one, and I really love it too. I'm doing the raw food thing, so make almond milk out of it, and cashew cheese, and the like. I made a really good raw mole sauce the other day. I do wonder, do you make green shakes out of it? And if so, how do you keep from too much air getting in there. If I add rough stuff to it...
