kate replied to Anthony M's discussion Why do my arm pits still smell?

"Dr Graham says the smells only vanish if one has regular full-body exposure to natural sunlight; a little difficult in our culture, even if you have the appropriate weather! The best you can hope for without is pong reduction. A raw vegan…"

[1 YEAR LATER UPDATE] How To Get A Flat Stomach!

"Nice point about the intensity Free, I feel hcrv is 80%, but intensity is the crowning 20%, in creating the flat tum we all desire. Mine is way flatter than it used to be, but I notice bloating if I ever stray to occasional salt consumption, or…"

I don't WASH anymore - the NO WASH test

"I think this only works if you get full sun exposure to 100% of your body. I've tried and tried, I still smell after 3-4 days, and my hair continued to look greasy over 6 months of going no-poo. I now wash most days with water, and…"

kate replied to sunwukung's discussion The crucial importance of VARIETY in a (RAW )vegan diet

kate replied to Alex Mccracken's discussion Why even eat apples or pears?

kate commented on Jody Hickman's blog post 1 month on hcrv

"Brilliant start, a whole month hcrv is an achievement. The less cooked food you find it possible to consume, the sooner any cravings for cooked will diminish. Large quantities of greens and nonsweet fruits really sort out desires for salt."

At 10:32am on February 29, 2012, Paul Cohen said…: HI Kate, thanks for getting back to me. I've been vegan for nine years and found it to be very healthy. I almost never get sick. I was keeping my weight at an ideal level too- until I started eating too many nuts. So far, I'm eating nearly 100% fruit and vegetables, but I do boil or steam some of them for my evening meal. I guess you could say that I'm still putting my toe in the water. I'm about 70 or 80% raw at the moment. I'm not sure if eating all raw is right for me yet. I prefer some vegetables like sweet potatoes, broccoli, and onions cooked. So far, I've gotten my weight back down, but other than that, I haven't observed any new health benefits.

I'll check out Dr. Graham's site; thank you for the suggestion. Thanks again for writing.

At 1:45am on February 29, 2012, Paul Cohen said…: Hi Kate, How are things in merry ol' England? Thanks for your comment regarding my injury healing. So kind of you. I'll definitely get more horizontal time in.

Blessings,

Paul

Re: Hi Paul, suggest you get more sleep to speed up the healing process. Hard in a busy life I know, but as Harley and Dr Graham point out, top athletes may spend 2/3 to 3/4 of their non-training time horizontal.

Best wishes for your recovery, glad you can still do other exercise.

At 12:12am on February 12, 2012, Chris Califano said…: Kate, so kind of you to inquire. I'm such a perfectionist about creative educational projects- I was renovating a house for the last six months- but will honor your good request soon I promise. Thank you so much for the add :)
