Hi there all,

I read through this thread that wheatgrass spray is good.  Now, I'm now making my own wheatgrass juice to drink.  Could I use that in a spray bottle and spray on my face?  Should I dilute it first?

I also read elsewhere on the forum that wheatgrass is used to spray onto the hair.  Don't remember exactly how at the moment, but it seems like wheatgrass is a little surprise bundle of health, isn't it!!!

Oh, I'm sooooo excited about this.  I finally feel that this is a support group I can attend.

Thanks for the motivation.

Sweetpea,

Your posts are always from your honest heart.....and funny too!!  Yes, we can't please all ppl all the time, but if we all believed the same thing who needs this forum then!!! LOL

I've ALWAYS found your posts interesting.....and worth a read.

P.S.  Even though I don't personally believe that karma points are a true reflection of a person in their real life, I'm giving you the other karma point back too (just because I can!! ) 

Hi Rudolf,

I have a question and was wondering if you heard/read that this is true:  I heard that asthmatics need to avoid bee pollen because it can trigger an attack.

Now I understand that there are a lot of variables to this, but have you heard anything like that?

Rita

Thanks Sanga,

I've never heard of a Teslar plate but will certainly look it up.  Thanks for that.

No Frontiers,

Did I read right that you made Kefir?  How did you find it?  Is it hard to make?  Where did you get your kit from?  In other words, is it high in nutrition that it would be worth the making of it?

Rita

P.S.  Sorry for the off-tangent question!!

I've tried to look it up but have found conflicting stories about it.

Does anyone out there know more about it?  Is it good or bad?  Is it natural or not?  I'm a bit confused as there a both sides to the stories about it and since I don't know anything about chemistry I'm not aware as to whether it's something beneficial or not.

The other name for it is acetyl hexapeptide-3.

Thanks in advance.

I haven't read all the replies, but I was wondering does anyone have a water filter that filters out fluoride.  The wonderful Queensland Government in its wisdom has added fluoride to our water and was wondering if anyone has a recommendation of a filter that is great to rid the fluoride from the water.

Thanks

Sweatpea,

I'm sure I'm not classed as a "long-term" RV, but it's so ironic that as I was thinking about how I felt on raw that you came up with this thread.

I've noticed myself that when I'm juicing, eating lots of fruit and veggies and being "good" for a while that I end up craving certain foods.  I've read other threads where people say the same thing and the only answer that I ever read in regards to it is "you're not eating enough calories".  Now, that may be right (which I don't think is in my case).  I think a lot of my issues surround my way of thinking.  I could be a full as a goog (egg for those of you who don't know what a "goog" is!! LOL), but my mind starts playing with me saying I want other types of food on top.  Now, that's a different battle.

But I know that I have experienced a LOT of the symptoms below (and still do), and I find that when I eat what certain people call "bad" food, that I find that I have the stamina and energy to carry on.  Now, "bad" food is making myself a salad sandwich with home-made bread, soups, baked pumpkin and sweet potato.  Not so bad in the SAD scheme of things!!!!   On the other hand, when I eat anything BAD (no inverted commas this time!) like chocolate or biscuits or cheese and the like that I feel worse than ever.  So I believe I have found my balance!

I honestly believe that everyone is different, and I have come to accept that if I fall of the raw wagon, then so be it.  Others can condemn me all they like, but I'm comfortable in the way I'm working it into my life.

I find that I'm happier not trying to fit into the 100% RV mould.....it makes me crazier.  I think the stress of trying to live up to this way of life for me has been detrimental.  I'm now trying to achieve the best for me on a day-to-day basis, which is really about 85% RV anyway.

I now take superfoods (not consistently which I need a good kick up the bum for) and find that when I'm taking supplements and herbs, blah, blah, blah, that I FEEL better.  There IS a difference for me.  If it's just a placebo effect.....woohoo!!!  I don't care the effect is all in my mind......it makes me feel better anyway.  Everything starts with a thought.  Your actions start with a thought!!!  The mind is a powerful thing.

Anyway, I've gone a bit off track, and haven't really helped in any way, but thought I had to write down what I thought anyway.

Take care

Luv

Rita

Happy Birthday Jen,

I wish you a day filled with happiness and joy.

Take care my sweets,

Rita

P.S. Thank BB for making it public knowledge......Jen deserves all the fuss today brings! 

Sounds interesting.  Thanks for that.

Thanks immensely, Joybell.

BTW, I used organic whole wheat.  Is that the same as hard wheat or bean wheat?  When I tried to do the rejuvelac with the whole wheat, after it had sprouted and I added the flitered water, I left it for two days, but it smelt off.  What is it supposed to smell like (without the lemon, orange and ginger?)  It was frothing.  Is this normal?

What other grains can you use?  I've read you can use quinoa.  What about organic oat groats?

thanks for you help so far

Rita

Thanks heaps everyone, that's really helpful.

I'll keep you informed as to my progress and see how it goes.....and I'm sure I'll ask more questions along the way.

Luv

Rita

Hi everyone,

I've just printed out some recipes for raw cheese and it uses rejuvelac.  Now, it also gives you the steps on how to make rejuvelac.

Has anyone made it before?  How did it turn out?  What does it look like?  Is there somewhere you can buy it?

I'm about to make it, but thought I'd ask anyone out there if there is any secret to making it.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Erthmum,

I'm not experienced with CF although I do have a friend in Adelaide who has it and she's now 37, so she's doing quite well.

All I could say is that there is a man named Dr Schulze in America and he has a website as follows:

https://web2.herbdoc.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1&c=1

Now, he has a section where you can ask questions and he will answer them.  He's VERY experienced in a LOT of areas so maybe asking him is one step.  It may not be the help you want now, but it's an avenue.  He is fantastic and I can't explain how good he is.....so ask, ask, ask him.

I know years ago they used to say that if a CF person reached the age of 25-30, they were miracles.  Now they live way beyond that, so that's good news.

All the best to your friend.

Luv

Rita

P.S.  I NEED to learn how to make the links "clickable"!!!!!
