anaken,
Thanks for your enlightened viewpoint-- you just cheered me up considerably regarding my fruit choices. (Still, if I had my druthers, they wouldn't be doing this to our food!)
The mangos I'm talking about are a particular kind of very pale yellow mango that I've only started seeing recently; I suspect they are those new ones they started importing from India. They always look like

Thanks for the info., Anaken. Luckily I can still find mangos that appear not to have been heat-treated. I didn't know Thai coconuts and durian were irradiated. I've never had a durian, and I'm still looking forward to it.

Coco--
Absolutely!-- join right in. Have you ever played Tibetan bamboo flutes? They're like recorders, and if you can find the right ones, they can be perfectly scaled. I used to have a whole set of them-- can't remember what happened to them. They were very inexpensive, but sounded wonderful. I also used to play an alto recorder.

>The harp and flute so much musicaly portray the serene, tranquil, peacefull, pristine, inocent, aware, sensitive state that long term juicing manifests.<
Hi! I LOVE harp and flute together-- so ethereal and evocative. Flute and guitar is a wonderful combination too. No, you don't have to sign in to listen. Just go to the site and on the right side of the page there's a l

rawgosia-- You're so cool; I think you are one of those people of great strength and discipline who hone right in on what works for you/what doesn't. That's a real gift.
anaken-- Making juice drinks is so messy, I agree. That's the part I like least about juicing, and probably why I don't do it very often.
love-- yes, now I remember, it was Tyra Banks. (Spring brain-fog.)

Kit and Coconutcream,
Yay!, people like you are the reason I post this stuff. I was going to say 'babes with brains,' but I'm not sure if Kit is a female or male.
BTW, David Klein is going to have an article on Codex in the upcoming fall issue of Living Nutrition Magazine. He's onto this issue, so it should be a good read. (He's also going to interview me!!)

love,
There was a thread in which a number of people commented that they didn't think Alyssa Cohen looked as fit as they would expect a raw food role model to look. Some thought she was overweight, and that she didn't reflect well on the raw food community when she was on a mainstream TV show with some other women who apparently looked thinner.
Sigh. ;-p We're better than this, really we

I know that strawberries do if they come from anywhere other than your own state. Some mangos are either pasteurized or irradiated-- you can tell, too-- they're disgusting and have streaks of brown in them. I don't know about grapes. it's frustrating, isn't it, that we're told so little, and the labels are inadequate.

2412. Re: Grape cure
Hey guys,
The grape cure/cleanse sounds great, and I'll probably try it this summer for a few days. I just want to share one little caveat that I learned on Stanley Bass's site. He did the grape cure when he was a young man and he said it really messed up his teeth. So brush and rinse!

Whole Foods, as well as most of the holistic products industry, and even my local co-op management (until recently-- now they're aware and very concerned) have been duped and lulled into false complacency, according to the IAHF and Natural Solutions foundations. There are billions of dollars at stake, and there's been a lot of propaganda and smoke screening to keep people in the dark. All I can

2414. Re: lemonade fast
Hi guys,
Sounds great! I have done short Mastercleanses (and longer juice and water fasts), and I just have one question for you. Did you experience any problems with your teeth on a long lemonade fast from all the citrus and maple syrup? I'm just curious. Thanks.

Rawrrr,
Thanks for sharing your juicing experiences! It's easy to get intimidated when people are dissing something I know has helped me so much, and I have to snap out of it and realize, like you, I should just go with my inner knowing, not someone else's truth. Your insights about what juice fasting does for you are really inspiring.
For me juicing makes sense in particularly in this da

Hi Bryan,
I figured out a better way to explain the difference it makes for me to juice from time to time:
I can take exactly the same ingredients as I would otherwise want to juice, and blend them (and I've done this-- blended good fruits and greens or vegies and greens for a week or more), and the effect is qualitatively different. Juicing them is somehow different than blending them, in

Bryan-- I don't agree, because I've often simplified my diet to perfection, and it still just isn't the same in terms of consciousness. The feeling of strong spiritual connection that I'm referring to only comes from juice fasting or water fasting. That's all I was saying. Have you tried it?

2419. Re: Raw cacao nibs?
I convinced a friend to buy a package of cacao nibs awhile back, and she and her boyfriend HATED them, so she gave them to me. I'm not addicted, but I do love them. I buy them about 3 times a year, and I love to take them on my camping trips, because they keep so well. I don't notice any strong effects one way or another-- negative or positive. I just think they taste good, right out of the ba

Khale--
Perhaps you're either re-proportioning, or your fat/muscle ratio is changing so that you're smaller, but you still weigh the same.

Another thought on this subject--
You know, most of us are feeling pretty scared or at least somewhat insecure right now, due to all the shifting of the cultural and political landscape, and so it's easy to understand why people are bound to look at EVERYTHING with an eye to whether it's conspiracy-related. The lines between reality and fiction get blurred, and we need to maybe cut each other

I totally agree with you that flu shots are toxic and unwarranted. They're just another gimiick by pharmaceutical companies and 'healthcare' organizations to make money.

Obviously written by an industry insider, I'm guessing:
Please note 'outside links' at bottom or article to two Codex Alimentarius sources. Also the article makes reference to the fact that the FDA intends to refer to irradiation as 'pasteurization.'

Hi Fuzzy,
I find anytime after a week or so my eyes get really bright on a fast.
Shazzie does have really penetrating blue eyes, doesn't she. I bet the colonics had something to do with it-- she had a series and probably really got cleaned out.

I have green eyes. I'd LOVE it if they would turn a few shades lighter. I haven't noticed any difference over the years, though, except that my whites get very white and extra-bright when I fast.

Wow you guys, I'm totally blown away by your compliments. Thanks!
In answering your questions, I've decided to start with a general response first-- more philosophical in nature-- and the dietary/exercise answers in a separate e-mail.

I know a woman who had a history of raw food (although she was no longer eating raw) who started taking a lot of enzymes, and her eyes went from dark brown to light golden-brown. It was quite noticeable. I've heard that this happens frequently to people who take a lot of enzyme supplements, which should be a hint to us about why some raw foodists also experience a change in eye color.
