Rockie, Taluce and Oceanic, Sorry for just now responding!! I'm so glad two of you have just discovered green smoothies, and you are very welcome for the post!! It was my hope in creating this pos...

Hugoll12, What great ingredients!! The carrots and broccoli might have made it a little too fibrous, so you might cut back on those slightly. I was already eating a mostly vegan diet when I began...

Thank you Excelicious! That does sound like a wise man. I hope you were able to find something that worked for you! BP is definitely harsh--I think it's best to only use it if you have to!

I wanted to alert everyone that Paula Begoun (Paula's Choice) has a new skin-care line that's 98% natural! It's called Earth Sourced. I am excited about this, because in the past, I was never able t...

RedWinter, I'm sorry to hear of your struggles! Because Accutane helped you so much, have you tried adding vitamin A to your diet? You can do so safely with beta carotene, which will convert to the...

5ive, It's always so great to hear about someone getting great results with the smoothies!! Your soup idea is one that I love too--in fact, there are some soup recipes listed on the first post that ...

ha!! Overdue library books...I've definitely had a few of those! Let me know what you think of Dual-n-Back! MindSparke has a paid version that allows you to chart your progress and mixes it up a bi...

Great to hear The Hormone Balance is helping!! Hoping it continues. I thought of you the other day, because I've been researching brain training exercises, and I discovered one that has some real...

Juliapeach, Wow!! What a great testimony!! Thank you so much for sharing it here. These types of stories are so encouraging for people to read, and it's really wonderful that you got yourself back...

If you can pick up a used VitaMix on eBay (a newer model--not one of the really old, vintage ones), I'd go for that--I love mine. It blends without leaving chunks of greens, haha. I realize that mig...

You are very welcome Breanna!

No apologies needed for questions! Great idea about the aloe! I think I'm too late in replying here to help, but I would say to go easy--I haven't tried it, but too much aloe from the actual plant...

That's very odd. Makes you wonder what happened to them before they got bagged!

Breanna, So glad you enjoy green smoothies! I have bought many bunches of fresh collards and never remember them smelling gross--just very fresh, like greens. I wonder if there might be some rotten...

I use almond butter, but I wonder if there's a less flavorful nut or seed butter that could be used to stick things together but that doesn't dominate the flavor? Like if I wanted them to taste like c...

I just saw this in the Wikipedia article on adaptogens and thought it you might find it as funny as I do. An adaptogen must have a normalizing effect, i.e. counteracting or preventing disturbances to...

Oh no....that's a shame. I've seen some "really" lame segments on Dr. Oz's show.

How great!! I'm actually reading through it right now myself!! Finding it very interesting as well! Seems like a great book for overall health in general!

Yay!! Sounds like a good plan! You previously said you're not on synthetic thyroid medication, right? I think you said you were taking a non-synthetic. The reason I ask is that some say your thyro...

Yay!! Sounds good Paul--would love to know how it goes!

Paul, The smoothies can definitely help with digestion issues--specifically with increasing hydrochloric acid. You can definitely make all vegetable-based smoothies. You might throw in some carrots...

One of the keys I think is getting people to realize how eating healthfully will greatly impact their quality of life for the better--and that it doesn't have to be difficult or tasteless. Once peopl...

Alternativista, I hate hearing that your mother eats poorly--that must be frustrating for you. She has the best person to learn from! My mom and I have been into nutrition for years, but my dad d...

You are very welcome!! CFS is a mystery indeed....very complex! And this reminds me, there's a book called, "Feeling Good," by David Burns. It's the #1 rated book for depression. Hyman's book look...

4Fours, Sorry for over-stepping earlier, and thank you for the correction about bio-identical hormones--I definitely had that wrong. I am really sorry you're struggling with depression and adding ac...
