Just want to give an update about my friends father with the lung cancer. She told me that after several months of raw food only Sunday's for her father she got discouraged because the test measuring the size of her fathers lung tumour showed it was the same size. Frankly I was not that surprised as he was only raw one day a week, but she kept him on it anyway.
But the next test showed the tum

How about making your own dressing? Use avocados or tahini as the oil.

This from today's Vegsource e-mail;
Bill Clinton, 42nd President of the United States,
revealed he has been eating a plant-based diet
since May (though he says he includes occasional
fish, ala Dean Ornish MD program).
Clinton says he has been inspired by the work and
writings of T. Colin Campbell PhD, Caldwell Esselstyn
MD, and Dean Ornish MD. He cites Dr. Esselstyn's
work docu

A 6 banana smoothie with 1/2 cup frozen strawberries and 2 cups of spinch when I got home.
3 tablespoons of macadamia butter in the evening, it was a rough day and I did not get time to eat enough.

Buddhistforlife,
My BMI was around 16 a couple of years ago after transitioning for a couple of years. I am 5'7" and about 110 lbs now but was as low as 103 lbs then. I am 56 yrs old and feel better than I ever have in my life.
Richard Blackman The Fruitarian One used to say he looked like "a stick insect on crack" while he transitioned to raw. Some of my friends and family s

I try to eat my greens as soon as I buy them but how can you tell if curly kale is fresh when you buy it? I can sure tell it's not fresh when I have it in a smoothie, it's like eating paper.
Also does anyone know what is the best kale to use in green smoothies - I'm trying to get some variety in my greens.

Notwithstanding the super spiritually evolved "humans" who led so many, Christ, Buddha to name two biggies, I think of it this way.
"God" is inside of us, not ouside and is not separate from us. Where would "God" be if there were no humans? As to what exactly "God" is well the easiest way to understand what is meant by that term for me is "God"

11. Re: menopause
I am 55 yrs old and have been high raw for around 3 1/2 years. I continued to get hot fashes when I went raw as I recall but they were not as nearly as intense as before raw and a lot less frequent.
As with all my bodily complaints/illnesses switching to raw vegan totally changed the landscape of my health. I can still hardly believe the changes myself.

Thanks Paul and Chris for all the info and links! I have used them and will continue to use them when I am asked or challenged in the future.

Bananawho I do look and feel a lot better than most 55yr olds around me though being thin, my bmi is probably under 20, people judge me to be sickly even though I can outrun any of them by a mile lol.

You are right, it may fruitless to argue even though he seems to want to talk about it because he got disillusioned after his cholesterol went up after following his doctor's advice. But I have a faint hope he will consider some of the things I have told him. I am no match for him intellectually, he would be right in there with Chris and Paul.

Thanks for all the great feedback, especially Chris, it was interesting and much appreciated.
Do not want to split hairs about what class humans are but I personally can't argue with how great I feel on a high fuit and greens diet.

I was chronically stiff and sore and exhausted before raw. Not anymore. No more asthma or allergies either.

Tamukha,
"Lastly, it is a good idea to politely point out to anyone that is not a specimen of excellent health but who advocates the diet that is making them unwell that perhaps they may want to rethink their suppositions."
Thats brilliant lol!
But sadly until you've tried a raw diet you do not know how good you can feel and so stay stuck in your beliefs.

Am under attack from an educated and well read leaning omnivore friend. Just told him we are not herbivores or omnivores but frugivores and that raised his ire like I knew it would.
I am being challenged with the usual "we are some of us grain eaters and some of us are better at digesting meat because of how/where we lived for the last few centuries".

I eat a papaya almost every day. My favourite fruit smoothie is consists of a couple of oranges blended with a nice ripe papaya. The two fruits balance each other in a smoothie so nicely.

A friend of mine is trying to get her father who has lung cancer (was a smoker) to drink fresh juices and smoothies and eat more raw fruit and greesn as an alternative to chemo, he is 86. He still eats cooked food but my friend is trying to convince him that the more raw food he eats the better he will be.
When he drinks carrot juice in particular it makes him cough.

Plainlydressed,
When I'm high raw or all raw I feel pretty darn good and NEVER get colds/flu allergies in the almost 4 years since I found out about raw.
I've been slipping badly over the summer and frequently eating things like toast/crackers and veggie soup off the shelf and am stopping now because of this flu thing. I'm always bragging about never being sick and I don't want to be eating
