See article keywords and concepts |  Maggie's Soap Nuts are actually a dried fruit related to the lychee. People with nut allergies can safely use Soap Nuts! They are not actually nuts.
Do Maggie's Soap Nuts have a fragrance?
Yes and No. On their own Maggie's Soap Nuts have a mild, fresh, vinegary smell. They will not fragrance your clothes. For added fragrance, add a few drops of you favorite essential oil on the cotton sack. For a refreshing wash, Maggie likes to use geranium, coriander, or neroli.
Do I need to use fabric softener?
Nope. Maggie's Soap Nuts naturally soften and add body to your clothes! |

James F. Balch, M.D. and Mark Stengler, N.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Avoid foods that are high in yeast or mold, especially alcohol, aged cheese, dried fruit, nuts, and nut butters. You must also stay away from fermented foods, including vinegar, pickles, tempeh, and soy sauce.
Food allergies may be the cause of recurring vaginitis. Read the Food Allergies section and follow the elimination diet there. If your symptoms disappear when you stop eating a certain food, eliminate that product from your diet. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Parts used Fresh or dried fruit. Cultivation & harvesting Peach is self-fertile, so that a single cultivar is usually planted. Trees are pruned and trellised to ensure even light exposure and productivity. Firm, mature fruits are harvested by hand.
Peaches (nectarines and clingstones)
Uses & properties Peach is a popular fruit for eating - those with white flesh are usually considered tastier than those with yellow flesh. | | Parts used Fresh or dried fruit. Cultivation & harvesting Sloe and other cooking plums are not commonly cultivated and are mostly harvested from wild trees. They require cold temperate conditions with chilling in winter.
Uses & properties Sloe fruits are very acidic and are mainly used for jams, jellies, sloe wine or sloe gin. Wild and domesticated plums are eaten fresh or are similarly used for canning, bottling, jellies and jams and as ingredient of various tarts, pastries and puddings. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Eat fresh or dried fruit and vegetables in between meals if you crave sweet or savory foods.
3. Start all cooked meals with raw vegetables.
You also need to cut down on or remove:
Caffeine
Salt
Gluten (wheat, oats, rye, and barleyif gluten intolerance is suspected, remember there is no gluten in the sprouted leaves of grains such as barley)
Processed food such as refined sugar and flour
Any substance that upsets the endocrine system and that could indirectly cause osteoporosis. | | If you think this is a radical approach and you cannot begin to imagine how you or your family's health and mental stability could possibly be affected by diet, try removing it for six weeks and replacing it with loads of fresh and preservative-free dried fruit (follow the first three steps at least). If you see no improvement then go back to your old diet and lifestyle (somehow I know you won't).
Another excellent book to read on this subject is Sugar Blues by William Dufty. This will leave you without a doubt as to how harmful refined foods are. | | The most dramatic case was a man who lost his business, family, and home due to alcoholism but within three months had them all back after he focused on changing his diet, which included plenty of fresh and preservative-free dried fruit.
In 1980 a clinical study appeared in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, reporting that people who ate too many refined carbohydrates exhibited neurotic tendencies and personality changes. This condition seems particularly to affect adolescents. | | If the dried fruit retains its original color, for example if the dried peaches are bright yellow and soft, then more often than not they have been treated with sulfur dioxide. It is also one of the most widely used preservatives as it is readily available and inexpensive. It is found in beer, wine, sausage meat, soups, sauces, juices, sodas, salad dressings, and dried vegetables. Sodium sulfite is used on red meat to retain the red, fresh appearance. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Nutritional value The dried fruit has a high calorific value (315 kcal per 100 g) and the fresh fruit contains up to 70 mg vitamin C. This is an important functional food in China, used to improve general health, gain weight and alleviate respiratory disorders.
NUTRIENTS, DIET AND HEALTH
Diversity and balance
Good nutrition and healthy living require diversity and balance. By eating a wide range of different foods, we improve the probability that all the essential ingredients are present in the diet. |
Walter Last
See book keywords and concepts |  Examples of this combination are: muesli or honey, dried fruit, or fresh fruit to sweeten cereals or starches; dessert or sweetened coffee or tea after meals. Most harmful are the sweetened starches, such as cakes, sweet cookies, or crackers, and sweetened breakfast cereals. Beware especially of mixing fructose with starches if you want to lose weight.
Problems with Natural Sweet Foods:
Unfortunately, natural sweet foods such as honey, dried fruits, or fruit juices are no better for diabetics or hypoglycemics than food sweetened with white sugar. |
Ben-Erik van Wyk
See book keywords and concepts | | Carbohydrates are best consumed in the form of fruits and especially dried fruit, where they are combined with other nutritional elements. The ingestion of pure sugar (so-called "empty calories") in the form of refined sugars, sweets and soft drinks is considered unhealthy as it may lead to obesity, high blood pressure, tooth decay and other symptoms of poor health. It has been suggested that a diet of 60 to 70% carbohydrates is ideal for athletes. For endurance events, "carbo-loading" is sometimes done to increase the glycogen stored in muscle tissue. |
Victoria Boutenko, M.A.
See book keywords and concepts |  There were odd times when we felt hungry but did not desire any foods that were "legal" for us to eat on a typical raw food diet: fruits, nuts, seeds, grains or dried fruit. Salads (with dressings) were delicious but made us tired and sleepy. We felt trapped. I remember Igor looking inside the fridge, saying over and over again, "I wish I wanted some of this stuff____Such periods did not last. We blamed it all on overeating and were able to refresh our appetites by fasts, exercise, hikes or by working more. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Eating While Traveling
Cucumbers, nuts, seeds for eating and sprouting, dried fruit, Himalayan pink salt or Celtic sea salt, my all-raw superfood powder Nature's First Food, spirulina, blue-green algae, cacao beans, goji berries, wolfberries and grass powders for chlorophyll and minerals are beneficial to take with you while traveling. You may find that it is easy to be a Sunfoodist while traveling, especially in Europe and Mexico during the summer, because fresh fruit stands are abundant. In tropical countries fresh coconuts become a staple while traveling. | | Eat green-leafy vegetables with or following dried fruit to clean the teeth.
Choose cruelty-free, organic, raw wild honey over conventional orchard honey. Because most farm bees are cruelly treated and have their honey (food) taken away and replaced with sugar-water and antibiotics, I do not recommend conventional orchard honey. I recommend cruelty free, organic, raw wild honey. Problems with bread addiction may find relief by spreading a high quality honey on their bread. The enzymes (amylase in honey) will begin to predigest the bread starch. | | Many new Sunfoodists overeat dried fruit and nuts; this is okay, as long as this behavior is balanced by green-leafed vegetables (see The Sunfood Triangle). Also, it is better to overeat avocados and olives than nuts, as avocados and olives are more digestible.
Something to keep in mind: a raw-foodist once shared a great piece of knowledge when he told me that, "Any food is addictive, if you eat too much of it." Switch your common foods around occasionally. Also, sometimes skip a meal and just drink water. Drinking water helps to alleviate hunger. | | Many newcomers to raw foods and The Sunfood Diet tend to overeat dried fruit and nuts as a replacement for the heavier cooked foods. They are getting a strong dose of concentrated sugar and nut fat. These foods must be balanced by also overeating green-leafed vegetables, such as kale, or one will eventually be thrown off balance.

Fatty Fruits, Nuts, Coconuts, Seeds
The Sunfood Triangle: The Center Point
(Chlorophyll : Sugars : Fat)
The least stimulating food on the human body is a low-sugar, high-water content, low-fat fruit, such as the cucumber. | | As far as dried fruit is concerned (while you are in the transition stage), prunes are a better choice than dates.
Choose dried figs over raisins. Raisins are great, if they have seeds. Without seeds they are hybrids (seedless). Dried figs are full of crunchy little seeds that compliment the taste and encourage thorough chewing.
THE TRANSITION DIET
1 Enjoy your food without fear or anxiety. Eat 100% love. As long as you are eating the food and it is entering your body, allow it to be fully enjoyed and metabolized! Eat your food naturally - relax. | | Avoid dried fruit binging, complex carbohydrates (baked potatoes, french fries, breads, cakes, cookies, rice) and alcohol as these can cause erratic blood sugar fluctuations.
Consuming 300-600 milligrams of algae oil (DHA) could also be helpful in nourishing neurological tissue. Vitamin B12 is helpful for depression as well.
THE SUNFOOD DIET
Begin today by treating yourself to luscious fruits and beautiful salads. Eating raw foods has a cumulative effect. The more raw foods you eat over time, the better you feel. The less cooked foods you eat, the better you feel. |
Michael Friedman, ND
See book keywords and concepts |  Berries are best. No dried fruit or fruit juices. Lots and lots of non-starchy vegetables. These should be the main source of carbohydrates in the diet.

See book keywords and concepts |  Native Americans, however, enjoyed cranberries in abundance; known as atoca, they were used in a wide variety of ways, primarily in the form of dried fruit as well as part of the recipe for pemmican, a mixture of dried meat and fat that was eaten over the winter months. Without formal scientific confirmation of the fact, Native Americans benefited from the cranberry's high benzoic acid content, using it as a natural preservative that increased the conservation time of other foods. |
Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton
See book keywords and concepts |  Food sources include cooked dried beans and peas, nutritional yeast, beef liver, wheat germ, nuts, bananas, avocados, leafy greens, cabbage, cauliflower, potatoes, whole grains, dried fruit, fish, and venison. Supplementation through a multivitamin is essential in most cases to ensure sufficient levels are received. Vitamin B6 is toxic to the nervous system when taken in supplements in doses above 1,000 milligrams. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Parts used dried fruit. Cultivation & harvesting Trees are grown from seeds or cuttings and require a warm, tropical climate. The fruits are harvested by hand when ripe and dried.
Uses & properties Chinese and Asian cooks add both fruit and seeds whole (often liberally) to meat dishes (pork and duck), curries and gravies. It is an important ingredient in both Chinese and Indian powdered spice mixtures (the fruits with the seeds are ground together). The flavour goes well with sweet desserts (poached fruit and fruit mousses) and confectionery. |

See book keywords and concepts |  High amounts are found in apricots, avocados, bananas, lima beans, blackstrap molasses, brewer's yeast, brown rice, dates, dulse, figs, dried fruit, garlic, nuts, potatoes, raisins, spinach, winter squash, torula yeast, wheat bran, yams, and yogurt. Herbs that contain potassium include catnip, hops, horsetail, nettle, plantain, red clover, sage, and skullcap.
Comments
Kidney disorders, diarrhea, and the use of diuretics or laxatives all disrupt potassium levels. Tobacco and caffeine reduce potassium absorption. | | Significant amounts of phosphorus are contained in asparagus; bran; brewer's yeast; corn; dairy products; eggs; fish; dried fruit; garlic; legumes; nuts; sesame, sunflower, and pumpkin seeds; meats; poultry; salmon; and whole grains.
Comments
Excessive amounts of phosphorus interfere with calcium uptake. A diet high in processed cooked foods and junk food is a common culprit. Vitamin D increases the effectiveness of phosphorus.
Potassium
This mineral is important for a healthy nervous system and a regular heart rhythm. | | Recommendations
Q Eat fresh and dried fruit such as prunes, raisins, and figs.
Q Eat fresh vegetables and salads containing a variety of raw green and colored vegetables daily.
Q Increase the amount of fiber in your diet. Whole-grain breads, cereals, and bran are helpful. Begin by taking 2 teaspoons of bran in a glass of apple juice twice daily. The bran may cause some gas until your system is used to it, but after that you should not have any difficulty.
Q Drink ten 8-ounce glasses of liquid, including water, each day.
Q Walk at least a mile a day. |
