I took all these

Love it but you gotta juice those bad boys!

Wow, now THAT is eating high on the hog! Can't go wrong with food like that, it's the way to eat. The seaweed, the grasses, the sprouts, the garden weeds...all so good.

You sure know what the good eating is. Brilliant.

Thanks for sharing that...has made my day.

Had big green sprout juices for breakfast with loads of grass and now will have lunch consisting of sprouted chia, pinch of salt, hydrilla algae, chlorella algae, dulse and some coconut oil to convert major goodness into treasure troves of greatness by the way of bucket loads of EPA/DHA fatty acids. I am pumped up about lunch and it is going to fill and satisfy me good and flyyy me to the moon, woot woot.

Raw fooders can either eat crummy dinner or they can eat like kings every single day. I don't do crummy, l eat food fit the Gods (pumps up fist and sings from the roof tops).

Crummy food = non fresh food from shops
The good food = living/cultured land food with bunches of water plants.


If you get on to the top dinners you will ride your horses home fast and furious every single night. No diddling and daddling with this fellow, i'll huff and i'll puff and i'll blow your house down.

-------

Fruitarians = try to blow the straw house down, then get tired and need to rest for the remainder day.

Sproutarians = they blow the strongest iron house right out of the foundations. If the mountains don't move for them they will move the mountains.

Lets start pumping the raw movement up. Lets fill `em up with sprout dinners.

Give me the weeds, give me the sprouts, give me the seaweeds and give me the algae and l am a happy man. You bet your sweet boots l am.

If you keep eating that type of stuff you will be able to stay raw for life imo. The people who eat the living foods seem to be able to stay raw.

Check out Lou Corona at 63:
[www.youtube.com]

Lots of ferments, high fat, coconuts, and highly enzymatized plant foods. Been 100% raw vegan for over 40 years, and l completely believe him too. Just imagine how good he would be if he did the sprouts, seaweeds and algaes also.

That looks amazing and so do you? Did I espy starfruit there?

Lou Corona looks fantastic for his age, wow. Do you have more interesting videos or links from him?

"highly enzymatized plant foods"

What kind of foods are you referring to? I'm guessing he also takes lots of systemic enzymes everyday? I wasn't able to watch your video because my CPU is having issues with youtube but I found a different video of him on another site and he definitely looks very young and vibrant for his age.

So what is the final result with all of these green juices, sprouts, living foods.
Is health restored, is the weight back to normal, are we disease free, spiritually enlightened, beautiful inside out, loving and caring for others.

Or are we still struggling like the SAD eaters, battling diseases, weight, stress?

Lou is a complete and utter legend and a completely beautiful soul. He is the real deal...all raw, lots of exercise, and most importantly...he has the spiritual connection with the cosmos, plants, earth etc which clearly shows. He does it all and has it all. He lives to serves others and feels his emotions because he is ALIVE. He sometimes cries on his videos because he is so passionate, l am the same. That what happens when you do everything to a high level, you become alive.

Lou has inspired me to do more exercise too. Do weights and pushups every second day, walk at least 30 mins and now will do trampoline work soon. Feeling great. Also need to take my shoes off and walk on the Earth.

If l told you you probably wouldn't believe me. I have more than l could have ever dreamed of. I have it all now. Lou has it all and so do l now. We can have it all and live the dream, but it takes a committment.

I remember reading the old Ann Wigmore books and `Life in the 21srt Century' by Victoras as it all seemed so far fetched that people could have such perfect lives. Well, l now know it is true and we can become the great beings we are all capable of being and we can make our lives so beautiful.

Struggling? Not now...just cruising. When you thrive and cruise you exist to serve others and help and love the world. It might sound corny, but this is no exaggeration. Lou Corona gets it, he feels the same. My friend Mr Kearns is the same too.

Stress? What is stress? I knew it once and kicked it to the curve.

Diseases? Kicked them to the curve.

Enlightened? You bet your boots. You become at one with the higher power, that is you central driving force.

What do l now live on? I live on love. Oh yes, l live on love. It is my energy and driving force. Sound corny and silly? Nope, that's how we are meant to be. Now l getting like Lou and am starting to cry again for sheer joy.

---------

One spiritual master says that there are some being that don't live on food, water or air. What do they live on? Apparently they live on love alone. They are said to be very highly evolved beings who have learned to live on the vibrations given off by love because that's all that is really needed.

Wish l could live on love alone. Breatharianism is a karmic feast and is not vegan either. Breatharians murder, vegans murder...but the folks that live on love don't harm a single thing.

If you need to abuse people, get angry, call people names etc, you are nothing but a lost soul in the wilderness. When you have everything, you no longer want to abuse people and point score any longer. And if you do say something innappropiate that may hurt others you feel so low and sad until you speak with the creator and apologise for being such a dill. Sometimes we make mistakes and say things we shouldn't, but it is critical to be truely sorry and vow to never do it again.

Hurting others is too painful to bare so you stop doing it. When you hurt others and think bad thoughts your balance feels so out of balance that you feel like a fish out of water and can't bare it. The more your become enlightened the more out of whack you feel if you think bad thoughts...it makes a mess of you because you are extra sensitive because you are strongly connected.

Listen to Lou, he knows. Lots of people know because this stems from what we are made of. We are all meant to be this way. None of us are anything special, we just want it all...we don't want to settle...we get our birth right.

The fact that many talk and feel this way shows it is in us all when we are ready.

Better stop posting, starting to cry my eyes out like Lou now. Me and Lou and nothing but a big bunch of sooks, te he.

Mr Kearns and I were talking about this stuff this afternoon...feeling love and serving others. I was very close to breaking down into tears.

Lou takes lots of probiotics and enzymes along with fermented foods and some sprouts such as grasses and hopefully other sprouts also. + he does lots of coconut.

Lou is awesome.

www.thesproutarian.com

"Do weights and pushups every second day, walk at least 30 mins and now will do trampoline work soon. Feeling great. Also need to take my shoes off and walk on the Earth"

I need to get a rebounder as well, great for exercise and lymph detoxification. If Lou talks about how taking enzymes with his "Lemon Ginger Blast" is great for cleansing, imagine how much more powerful a 24-32 oz. spout-grass drink would be with those enzymes! I had plans of walking more barefoot on the Earth but I've been gardening all summer and have had my hands in the soil a lot. I wonder if you get better healing effects from being on your feet or if grounding any parts of the body has equal benefit? According to David Wolfe, walking barefoot on a beach is the best way to do it.


"+ he does lots of coconut."

Does he do anything else with coconut besides make nut/seed yogurts?


"Lou takes lots of probiotics and enzymes along with fermented foods"

His internal 'eco system' has to be sooo clean and absolutely loaded with healthy gut flora.

Lou also does some fruit, green veggie smoothies with various powders added. He incombines and doesn't do things perfectly, but it works for him! Haven't seen him use any algae or seaweeds so far.

Here is his basic idea on living. He really gets the big picture. The most important thing he says is never to think negative thoughts about people or life, he is SPOT ON!!! If you think negative it unbalances your whole system and is painful to bare when you become enlightened and in tune properly....this is why people will always struggle through life = they are so blocked up and messed up with these negative vibrations working against them. When you get rid of the opposing vibrations of negativity everything flows how it should and you start to live. Lou gets it, l get it, Gabriel Coisens gets it.

LOU CORONA ~ Principle 1 is Cellular Communication ~ The Four Principles of Life
[www.youtube.com]

there are four parts.

Lou is not exciting to listen to for me (he speaks common sense), but he has great wisdom that people really need to listen to. He really gets what's going on and walks the talk.

www.thesproutarian.com

Lots of raw fooders will make stuff up that sounds all good (preach love and compassion etc), but you can usually tell the real deal from a fake.

Lou also says to look at everything you do and ask what the lesson is. I do that with everything. That's why l see no bad things that happen to me in a negative light. The `so called' bad things that happen are only opportunities to learn and grow, so use that experience to gain wisdom and grow.

When the negative goes the light starts shining all through you. Lou is full of light.

Lou also said that when everything falls into place you control the destiny of you life. You become the director and you stop being a victim. You run the show. He is 100% correct.

Lou glowing like nothing else. He says how the energy from the ferments is off the scale. It often is too, especially the fermented sprouted sunflower yogurt taken after algae and seaweed.

[www.youtube.com]

Lou also likes grass and weeds and says to be careful of the sugar in fruit.

Lou says to have lots of greens, a cup or two of sprouted fermented nuts/seeds and some fruit.

Enzymes, nut/seed ferments, green juices, coconut and living foods is where it is at. Fats have been given a very bad rap, but the fats are our good friends, even the saturated fat and cholesterol are good friends.

Gabriel Coisens says that after fruit and veggies have been picked they lose their power after 2 - 3 days. This explains why l feel no power from any fruit that is not picked straight off the tree, that's one reason l prefer not to bother with any fruit. No power and hardly ever ripe, so not fit for consumption imo.

Dr Clement says fruit and veggies are next to useless after being picked 2 - 3 weeks and will kill you. Foods under going cellular death will bring on death.

"Lou also says to look at everything you do and ask what the lesson is. I do that with everything. That's why l see no bad things that happen to me in a negative light. The `so called' bad things that happen are only opportunities to learn and grow, so use that experience to gain wisdom and grow."

I definitely agree with this and have been doing this not only for lessons but for anyone I meet. I think that there's a reason behind every person we meet, including people you may only engage with for a couple seconds ONE time. I believe either I am somehow pushing others to the path they need to be on or they are doing that for me, regardless of how small those nudges in the right direction may be. Little by little, small nudges in the right direction will lead to major progress.

"No power and hardly ever ripe, so not fit for consumption imo."

I agree except for rare occasions when I'm able to find quality local produce or the rare batch of strawberries, but even still it's too old and subjected to post-harvest nutrient losses and likely collects pollution if it's shipped from hundreds of miles away.

"Lou also said that when everything falls into place you control the destiny of you life. You become the director and you stop being a victim. You run the show."

For me I feel like this is happening but I know I have a long way to go. One thing I do know is that I am being guided by my spiritual guides/higher-self and have complete faith that I will accomplish what I set out to accomplish when I entered this physical body. I believe I have lots of important work to do and important information to reveal so I can help radically change the lives of others for the better.

je je. I wish I could do a power test with people that 'feel' that way to see if it is only in the head and to justify their self made theory based on what they think is the best diet. Don't mean to bragg, but I don't think there is anybody in the gym where I go that can match me on power and endurance but I don't tell people it is from the supermarket fruit I eat. I also acknowledge that too much sugar is bad, so if you get tired or foggy, watch the sugar spikes as the possible culprits. Variety is king. My performance power has been increasing steadily and I attribute that to displine in eating, in detoxing, and life style in general. Eating lots of coconut oil is bad. The ccoil promoters tell you about the steric acid but that is only a partial truth. Coconut has other BAD fats. Coconuts are rare in the vegetable kingdom. I eat it occasionaly, but it is not a staple for me. I eat just about everything.

If you want power, detox (with regular exercise (redish face, lots of sweat), sauna and eating healthy), restore, and recover. Watch your electrolites. Eats lots of green (variety is important). Eats lots of different berries. Eat some restoring fats. Exercise. Pracise intermittent fasting (skip breakfast twice a week). Do sun baths and get fresh air. Take B12. And after a long while (at least two years), you'll feel the power difference.

"My performance power has been increasing steadily"

Yeah that tends to happen when you work out consistently regardless of your diet. Plenty of very strong, powerful athletes with great endurance who follow the SAD. Of course you feel better after switching to a 100% raw diet and have improved health, you've started nourishing your body and detoxing. That doesn't mean that the status quo is anywhere near optimal from a diet perspective, though. Have you ever lowered fruit consumption and started eating more algae's, drinking sprout-grass juice, and sprouting your own seeds? As I and many others have noticed, once you do this long enough, your body doesn't want to go back to the low-quality store-bought produce. You're doing much better than most, however.

"Eating lots of coconut oil is bad"

Eating lots of anything is bad, moderation is key and in moderation coconut oil offers a host of health benefits, especially when combined with sprouted omega-3's and AFA blue-green algae. Lou Corona eats lots of coconut on a high-fat diet and looks better than any fruitarian out there.

Also, I don't think TSM was talking about physical power when referring to store-bought fruit, I think he means power contained within the fruit such as enzymatic activity and optimal nutrients. Store-bought fruit is way healthier than cheeseburgers and potato chips but so are lots of things.

I have done the tests thousands of times over the years and am pretty conscious and try to be aware it it's in my head or not. These are my conclusions:

- lower enzyme foods do NOT have the power of the high enzyme foods. Fresh garden picked greens has no power in comparison to sprouts.
- some fresh picked fruits do have some power dspite being low in enzymes, but that could be a sugar rush because other fresh poicked fruit doesn't have the power.
- no post harvest fruit has the power despite being high in sugar = inconsistency.

The key to handling these fats is to consume protective elements in the diet which protects you against the fats, countless studies show this. If you are having lots of sprouted greens, algaes and seaweeds the phytochemicals will be highly protective, + the nitric oxide from exercise plays a protective role.

You hear about big fruit eaters who hardly eat and greens trying to increase fat in their diet and report feeling bad. I feel convinced it is because they have not got enough greens in their diet to offer protection and to help them manage the fats properly.


The problem is that most people on SAD diets die from cancer and heart disease because they have no protective nutrients in their foods.

Sounds great and it's good you are conscious to have something which works so well for you. Awesome.

Yes, the greens are extremely important. They give energy and offer very high protection for a number of reasons and open the door to being able to incorporate various other foods to full effect without risk (eg, lots of nuts, seeds and coconut). I don't say this without very good reason, the dozens of studies clkearly show the protective benefits of greens with fats. If the SAD people ate large amounts of fresh greens there would not be near the CVD around assuming they stopped trans/processed fats.

Nice Coconutcream. I have a nice batch of flax and chia grass almost ready too.

www.thesproutarian.com

the enzyme food theory was debunked a long while back. Almost all enzymes are de-encymed by the acids in the stomach. Some survive the low ph but they don't account to much. A high enzyme diet could potentially reduce the efficiency of self made enzymes, perpetuating a self inflicted lack of enzyme production.

"the enzyme food theory was debunked a long while back. Almost all enzymes are de-encymed by the acids in the stomach. Some survive the low ph but they don't account to much. A high enzyme diet could potentially reduce the efficiency of self made enzymes, perpetuating a self inflicted lack of enzyme production."

That's true for MOST enzymes but NOT plant-based enzymes. Plant-based enzymes can survive the acidity of the stomach.

Check this link out for more info - [jonbarron.org]

"Over the years, I have heard numerous arguments from medical doctors, mainstream nutritionists, and even some natural health practitioners as to why digestive enzyme supplements are either useless…or even harmful. In truth, these arguments are based on false assumptions and quickly dismissed. Let's address the four main counterarguments.

1. Stomach acid destroys digestive enzymes so they are a waste of money

As we've already discussed, in healthy digestion, stomach acid doesn't enter the stomach until about an hour after eating. But really, let's think for a moment. Do these same experts believe that your body would pack your saliva with amylase if it was going to be neutralized the moment you swallowed your food? Does anyone who has studied the body believe it knowingly wastes resources in this manner? Also, as we explored in detail in Enzymes Defined, for the most part, enzymes are not destroyed by stomach acid--merely inactivated until the pH of their environment is once again made more alkaline by the introduction of bicarbonate in the duodenum. And finally, some enzymes actually thrive in the high acid environment of the stomach--pepsin and acid stable protease, for example. And in supplements, you can use acid stable protease. The name says it all.

2. The claim that digestive enzymes are in food in the first place is nonsense since if they were, they would digest the food before you ate it

Yes, this might be true if the enzymes were active while in the food in their normal state, but they are not. In truth, digestive enzymes in food and seeds are dormant, waiting for the right time (determined by moisture, temperature, and exposure to day/night cycles) to activate. For example, the enzymes in seeds and nuts require the presence of moisture to activate. You can keep a seed or nut in your pantry for months or even years and nothing will happen. But soak those same seeds and nuts in water for 24-48 hours and sprouting takes place. During sprouting, the endosperm (the part we like to eat) uses enzymes to self-digest itself to feed the now growing embryo. How long can seeds wait before self-digesting? The oldest seeds on record to finally germinate and grow were date palm seeds found at the ancient Jewish fortress of Masada. They had been there for 2000 years before finally being discovered and subsequently germinated.2 It also should be noted that many regulatory enzymes found in plants are strong proteases such as bromelain and papain. And although their role in plants is regulatory, not digestive, in the presence of protein based foods, they play a major role in breaking those foods down. Papain, for example, is used as a meat tenderizer."
