Rawcurious - I'm all over that. I have my sprouter and seeds scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. I've already started sprouting oat groats, chick peas and kidney beans. I made a super raw oatmeal today and tomorrow I'm going to make a bean salad for lunch with red onion. Thanks so much for the help and support!

Yes I heard red cabbage is very good also. When I had first been diagnosed I was pretty advanced. My Natropath put me on a 2 month juicing regimin along with some supplements, miatake, tumerac, flor essence, and lots of digestive support and enzymes. He was looking to strengthen me up for the surgery and treatments that were to come. Anyway I had to juice red cabbage as part of my witches brew.

I was reading your link, it seemed to suggest that if you cook it for a short time, 2-4 minutes, it looks like you can get all you need right from the broccoli with no sprouts at all. It was saying that if you are going to use sprout powder then the use of fresh sprouts had an additive effect. I suppose with how important this is to me; sprouts, supplements and broccoli wouldn't be too extreme LO

7. Re: Stressing over what is really raw?

Very cool, thanks for the study. My Naturopath was just discussing this with me. He seemed to say that the sulforaphane is active in both raw and cooked, but since I am able to have 10% cooked maybe it's time to have cooked broccoli for lunch. Thanks so much.

8. Stressing over what is really raw?

So you guys have been so helpful as I started my journey to a raw food diet. I'm doing so well already, I feel better and I've lost some weight already. But as I mentioned I'm doing this out of necessity, I have metastatic prostate cancer so my learning curve is a bit more pressing than most people's. I'm reading all kinds of things about how many things that are sold as raw are actually not.

Thanks Utopian! Thats a great idea the "sandwich". The two moms thing is ok, and it is taking care of a texture thing for me as I continue to explore this and get new ideas. I'll need to see if I can look up some type of raw Mayo to go on it. Also my local Fairway has these raw Cocao Gogi coconut squares. I've been addicted to them for awhile. These are the ingredients, should be no pro

11. Re: Can anyone help a newbie in need?

I'm having a hard time working sprouts in. So far I've only used them in salads (which I see will get played out quick) and today I diced broccoli, pea, and alfalfa sprouts in a guacamole, which was a nice change. I like the bean sprouts and the pea shoots, but the rest not so much so I'm going to need to mask them. Also, I bought Two Moms in the Raw Cranberry Granola, anyone have any thoughts on

Utopian, thanks for the tips. You blend it in a processor? Do you use oil? Power, I have Maitake drops. As far as the water, what would you suggest?

14. Re: Can anyone help a newbie in need?

This is what I had in the cabinet. It says the only ingredient is pure sea salt but I suppose I'm finding out that doesn't necessarily mean anything. I'm starting to think along the lines of how is it mined, stored, transported, geese there's a lot to think about.

16. Re: Can anyone help a newbie in need?

Thanks for all the support and advice. I think Kidraw gave me the most of what I'm looking for which is to find out what exactly is raw. Ans a newbie to this it's easy to think something is raw because I haven't cooked it yet, but this confirmed what I thought about canning/jarring using heat to kill bacteria and therefore not raw. Can I buy raw olives and then home cure them and will that keep t

17. Can anyone help a newbie in need?

Hi all, I'm a 46 yo male who was diagnosed with very advancd stage prostate cancer 3 years ago. I did the surgery and other treatments and now the cancer is back. I want to go on a 90% raw, 50% sprouted diet but because I'm new to this I have so many questions. What I was really hoping for is that I could get a veteran who has time to answer some quick questions as they come up. Mainly what I'
