What I was saying is that we do not even know, or recognize, what truly feeling good is. The chase after addictive substances on some level is not satisfying. It is true; on some level everyone always knows what the truth is. I think that what the other poster above said is part of this: that one ra...

To revisit what was asked earlier-- Some naturopaths draw a distinction between a parasite and a "commensal": If the host organism is damaged; hurt by the relationship the offending microorganism is considered a "parasite." But if the host is not really damaged, the "foreign" organism benefiting fro...

yes; I simply couldn't think of a follow-on effect that would not result in this acne-causin 'shift'---


(except sudden expiring and being preserved in amber at that moment when no shift has yet occurred)...


Or sudden apotheosis.

Or being flash-frozen.

Coconut oil is very high in medium-chain triglycerides. These have a thermogenic (heat-generating) effect on the metabolism. They are immediately available for use, and do not go through the liver, I think. People take mct oil (medium-chain triglyceride oil) sometimes as invalids as it provides lots...

I ran a dehydrator in an inadequately-heated room in wintertime, and it was too cold (dehydrators run keeping foods *somewhat* warm and dry); it can also be too cold at times to run it. So the dehydrator must be situated in such a way that there is a minimum-temperature airflow around it. If buying ...

You are far smarter than I

and truly I didn't follow that at all.

Some substances are aquaretic (but not diuretic).

These would seemingly make acne worse, as they drain water but not electrolytes.

So there would be a concentrating effect on minerals contained within a given volume of water.

I avoid dairy, even small amounts of ghee and also raw butter, now, after a time of eating a bit of dairy as munch foods. My girlfriend says eating any dairy, whether cheese or butter, always makes her breasts hurt. (I guess overall water retention in the body includes the breasts in women and its n...

We cannot look to 'relatives' in nature for models of what to eat, currently -- hominid evolution shows that we are different from chimps; gorillas-- So in this vacuum of exemplary behavior of what to eat, our ideas grow up, unchecked. We are different, and we must observe this situation carefully. ...

A friend of mine was reading this with great interest; she has been using the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (adjusted to be about 60% raw) which actually claims to solve candida with diet alone, by starving candida of any 'extra' food like sucrose or grains that are not fully broken down by a damaged i...

I think it's a freakin' chemical cocktail, I have to say....

In fact I feel the biggest obstacle to many raw-fooders or 'traditional nutritionists' espousing saturated animal fats is a kind of lack of joy, surprisingly. First-- for the Wai diet-- you have to really turn your mind off, and your cravings down, and then listen to your body. Food is functional; i...

When I ate ghee as a munch/convenience food for cholesterol, it nearly always stimulated my appetite. And it stimulated my appetite to eat more ghee, in fact. So I have always wondered. I do not eat any dairy products now at all, unless you count raw egg yolks. The effect of dairy on appetite kind o...

In many food labelling systems, butter oil (anhydrous) is considered to have effectively zero water content, while butter oil and ghee may have a bit more. In Canada, for instance, the two are defined this way in their food inspection definitions: Composition - Butter oil (anhydrous), Clarified butt...
