421. Re: 'If I Were"...
Great story kwan, thank you!
I believe the measure of life is how we treat others, all others, even those that we would see as our enemy.
The part that struck me was:
"...Only the rare human being is on the highest level. Regardless of our present level, when we are prepared to view a situation from the highest level, we will see beyond what we ordinarily would."

I've read Dr Grahams book, and had a great conversation with him a few years ago. I think highly of him, he's a good guy, smart, and has a healthy ego. I've been helped by his work.

RusticBohemian,
How long have you been raw? I'm sorry to be critical here but your article, and your site in general strike me as novice, yet you seem to make declarations as if have solved an issue once and for all. I'm disappointed because like you, I believe we need more science in the raw food web world.

There is positive scientific proof that raw food vegans never die in the usual way...
According to a 2005 research paper written in Thailand by Stinky R. Durians, and our own Juicy B. Mellon, raw foodists never die. It's a fascinating paper really, They won the Nobel Juice Prize for their work. It seems that due to years of consuming only raw fruits and veggies, a mysterious metamorphosis happ

433. Losing my dad
I wanted to write a story this weekend, I thought it would be fun to get silly creative after the serious research I did for posts on the main topics board. I wanted to start a story that everyone could contribute too. You know, a light hearted, ongoing, multidimensional, fantasy type thing. I thought we could even get Veronique to add her literary magic to it. I wanted to, I really did…Then I

I’m sorry about the test results. Maybe some of these random suggestions will help:
A very low fat vegan way of eating is really important for you. The first thing you have to understand is your old way of eating will only cause pain and further damage. So put it in your mind that that stuff is poison to you, and don’t even consider it food. This mind set is very helpful, because eating al

436. Re: Lectins
Yeah Arugula, I was reading an article on that today. Fascinating isn't it?
It seems they use specific lectins to activate specific antibodies against the tumors. One study was working with AIDS for a more broad activation.
It's just kinda tough for me to read about creating cancers in, and infecting rats and dogs with diseases for the research.

These little buggers are interesting....
You're right arugula,
Their in lots of fruits and vegetables, and from what I'm reading, lectins serve a biological purpose, like most protein chains.
For the article to tie them to the cause of cancer is misleading. Lectins don't cause cancer, but bind cancerous cells together much the same way they bind carbohydrates.

Interesting article!
Here is a site with a pretty thorough scientific description:
"Lectins are proteins of non-immune origin that specifically interact with sugar molecules (carbohydrates) without modifying them. Lectins are found in a variety of species from plants to insects to man. They serve many different biological functions from the regulation of cell adhesion to glycoprotein

446. Re: enzymes
Glad to help. In matters of health, the simplest solution is often the best!
If you want to peruse it further, you may want to look at the foods that you eliminated to see if there is a potential food allergy. You're right in thinking that nasty smelling stool is a sign of improperly digested foods. Now comes the hard part...figuring out why, what foods or what food combination causes it.
