Hi gena,

Love your blog. I came across it via the twins pure2raw blog. Question: What are your thoughts on medicinal mushrooms? Are you taking any supplements at the time? I’m considering taking reishi and/or trummel mushroom supplementation for candida and general immune-boosting properties. Thoughts?

[...] They taste so neutral, in fact, that they’re a downright ideal substitute for regular pasta. Unlike conventional pasta, however, they’re raw, vegan, gluten free, and boast all of the benefits of sea veggies, including thyroid function, metabolic support, and iodine (for more on my adoration of sea vegetables and some fun facts about iodine, check out this post).

I’m a firm believer of the benefits of a good salt. I personally use pink himalayan sea salt, which I get @ http://www.sustainablesourcing.com/

I wanted to share some of the benefits:

Sharpens vital brain functions, improves mental clarity

Anti-aging; rids the body of acidic wastes that cause degeneration

Peaceful, relaxed quality of energy, better moods, positive thoughts

Ease cramps, constipation, digestive disorders

Regulates and purifies critical body fluid levels

Purifying, detoxifying to the blood

Stronger libido, sexual vitality, more vigor

Essential minerals replenishes vital electrolytes

Nutrients are absorbed more efficiently by the body.

Foods cooked with HimalaSalt taste better, and their nutrients are absorbed better by the body.

It’s also good for your pet.

Amazing stuff, really!

Now, I’ll have to try out those dulse flakes!

And, I just found a quick and easy recipe for dehydrated kelp crackers. Mmmm.

I love dulse flakes! Raw mock tuna salads are great. I buy iodized sea salt, but I still love me some sea vegetables.
