121. Re: raw protein..
Human milk is 6% protein and babies double their weight on only this in the first six month of their life. Adults need less because we are not growing so rapidly so most vegetarians aim for 5% protein. Fruits will average about the right amount of protein, they seem to have a protein range of 3-9%. If you throw in some greens and nuts you probably will have nothing to worry about.

Mercury can induce a B12 deficiency so we need to supplement more in this industrial age than we would in a primitive environmet.
"What has all this to do with mercury?
Well, there may well be some important links. The monovalent cobalt atom in methyl B12 is readily oxidized by various compounds - for instance nitrous oxide. This oxidation inactivates methioninsyntase (MS) which has t

Anyone ever use pectin to detox lead?
I was lucky to have the book Diet, Crime and Delinquency by Alexander Schauss fall into my hands. It's a tiny book, only about 100 pages but he thought that lead was so important that he devoted 17 of those pages to lead, it's effects on behavior and how to detox it.
One method he mentions is EDTA, which is also used for artery chelation, but that als

My current gurus are Tonya Zavasta, I like how nothing is theory with her, it's all based on visible results. Like the salt issue, salt make you retain water 96 times the weight of the salt which creates puffiness so avoid it. You need to eat a few Brazil nuts a day to get your selenium for your skin.

Thanks for all the responses everyone.
Tamuka, it's nice to know that I'm not the only worm rescuer (I'm sure my neighbors think I'm crazy).
I've tried that trick too Trive, but maybe my house is still too light because it never seems to work. What I have to do, since the flies tend to gather at the windows, is to loosen an upper corner of the screen (just one corner) so that it sticks out

I bet only I could have this problem, but you know how when it rains heavily the worms come out of the ground. Well, in the city they will then crawl out on to the pavement and are stuck, especially if they crawl over the edge of the curb and get onto the road where there is no way back up to the dirt.
So I pick them up by slipping a small stiff leaf or something under them and dropping them

But the logic behind veganism is to get the nutrients straight from the original source (plants) reather than through the "middle-man" (animals). All nutrients ultimately come from plants and there are many succesful vegan animals.

Generally, frozen vegetables are blanched before freezing and frozen fruits are not. I think that if the fruits were blanched you could easily tell because they would look wilty.

Sure raw food will detox all kinds of things from the brain (like fluoride and mercury) and it will help you think clearer.
Fruit is also high in glucose and the brain runs on glucose. My experience is that I'm easier to live with on raw which is probably due to giving up things like chocolate. If I go back to a high-cooked diet I get depressed and moody.
