Again, your 12 Steps to Raw Foods book has a great recipe for crackers. However, if you just fill up on these (flax), your fat ratio will be way off, so, a bag of apples/bananas and a plastic bag for the cores/skins will be helpful.

What do you all wash your hair/body with? I heard about a nutritionist here in town, 8 years raw, weaned off shampoos. The scalp learns to need shampoo, so, initially your hair will be disastrous looking. What he did was wash with honey until his scalp adjusted. Now he just uses water and it's fine. Me, I put coconut oil in it, wait, then rinse it out with a bottle made up of a bit of Jason's (70% organic and no shampoo and virgin coconut oil together. I have long hair and it's much nicer since I started using coconut oil. I needed something to do with all the extra bottles of purchased, then decided not to consume and this was the result. I wish I could go shampooless but feel unable to do so. Oh, and I use the mixture sparingly for my body. My daughter uses no shampoo at all. We also have skin brushes. You can dry brush before you shower. I am interested in others ideas about this subject. I brush my teeth with a baking soda/coconut oil mixture and use an Interjet beforehand. When the coconut oil runs out, I'll just use baking soda for my teeth. Miko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 I usually just use water and a brush on my body. No skin products except a little oil in cold weather. I use water and a sonic toothbrush and a little hydrogen peroxide on my teeth (because of decay). I recently shaved my head in a bid to get rid of shampoo... I'm using a brush in the shower and the regrowth is okay so far... a bit drastic for some maybe ;-) Sara xx > > I wash my body and I brush my teeth just with water.
