6121. Re: Raw Food Dating
Brian!
I daresay you cannot offend most of us with what seems to be our common experience. Sure, haven't we all experienced the stereotypical dichotomy ourselves? That's why it's a stereotype: grounded in objective fact. I would bet most of have had to a.) deny someone with whom we shared a values system but no "spark" or b.) denied someone with whom we shared a "spark"

He does seem a bit, I don't know, strident? Like an ex who broke his heart really liked croissants or something. Curiously, the recipe for culva sounds a lot like kutya, which my people, the Ukrainians make as a ritual food at Christmas-time. It's boiled wheatberries, ground up poppyseeds, chopped walnuts, and honey. I have to make some to take to my cousin's for Christmas Eve, where it is th

Brian,
"We are boring or gay." I am still laughing at your frankness! As it happens--NICE counts. Tough and crude is good for something, but not a relationship with depth. There IS a vast middle ground between sensitive, smart, courteous, but gay or boring and beer-guzzling, football-watching, SAD-eating jerkiness. And it is occupied by some really valuable people. I truly beli

I don't disagree with most of what you say; we're kind of saying the same thing but I'm more focused on rawkay's specifics. I would only say that, concerning limited raw diets re: disorder incidence: where I come from we say, a vegetarian who eats nothing but cheesy poofs and apple juice isn't a vegetarian. They're an idiot. The same goes for a rawist who eats nothing but salted deh

veggiefreak,
Maybe your body is purging something and the mixed fruit didn't help this to happen neatly. Do you juice any greens? With lots of cut up lemon? And filtered water? This would help quell stomach eruptions and go easy on your liver, pancreas, and kidneys. Try eating just juicy fruits, besides, and singly, and see how you do. Rest as much as you can, also. Good luck.

I just visited your MySpace page and, wow. I am so glad you found your way out of the labyrinth of lies your appointed "healers" put you in. I can only hope they were driven by medical dogma and not blank malice. I am curious: are you Canadian? I have Canadian friends and they seem to have serious problems with overzealous doctors who behave in a passive/aggressive manner, i.e. tak

Sundancer and whoever else cares,
If you can find a good local honey farmer, you should be able to get real raw honey. My honey farmer uses non-GMO bees, feeds them the previous hive's honey, minimally processes his hives, and has his honey tested regularily in agricultural college labs for synthetic contaminants like pesticides; it's always "clean." He bottles it immediately using

Is irradiated the same as cooked? I know it alters molecular structures, which is reason enough to avoid it. In which case, most out-of-season conventional greens are probably irradiated. Or will be soon. LivingNutz has truly raw almonds, btw. It's great how the FDA and the USDA are allowed to process stuff without notifying the public. Is this the case in the UK and elsewhere, I wonder?

I'm just wondering, because I see comments like yours all the time on these boards, iLIVE--is there still some confusion about enzyme theory and cooking-related acidosis/oxydation? These are two fundamental hypotheses of raw foodism, and I'm just wondering why raw foodists are debating them. Is there a new controversy I missed? I'm pretty sure I've seen older posts about both these topics on t

You seem to have the right idea. Good advice from the others. I would recommend that you visit Phil McCluskey's site or check out his vids on YouTube; he was in a similar boat to yours and made tremendous gains on raw. Happy journey to you!

A cleansing fast is good for you. Starving your body of nutrients for part of every day regardless of hunger causes your liver, pancreas, and brain to freak out and throw glycogen production off kilter. I have known people to induce hypoglycemia by doing this regularily. Please take the advice of the others, and don't treat yourself like a lab rat for longer than you are comfortable with!

I laughed heartily when I read this. But where's the punchline, Andrew? And to what are you referring: Teflon or heterocyclic amines? Also, by this logic, no one should get colon cancer, eh? And how does continuous shedding of gastrointestinal cells protect other ones? Tell us, Doctor Science! We gots to know!

Thanks for looking again. I knew you would find something because I did not hallucinate the data I discovered!

iLIVE,
Mathematically, we may assume that there is a higher incidence of chronic dis-ease among non raw than among raw, due in part to raw's being more alkalizing. To put it into simple terms: everyone I know to have had serious disorders has been cooked. For example, not a single patient in my mom's oncologist's care, nor in the hospital's cancer ward, was a rawist. I checked. And everyone

iLIVE,
What I am saying is that the ratio for "normal" pH includes those in a state of disease, like heart problems, diabetes, incipient cancer, etc., who are certainly not "healthy." Healthy and normal are not clinically interchangeable. And clinicans don't just sample blood from super healthy people to get these extrapolations! That would take forever! The lower end of

Remember, with regard to your pH, that the "normal" general range encompassess diseased populations as well, and acute alkalosis is almost impossible to achieve through diet, so your doctor shouldn't even mention this. Your blood should be alkaline, by the way. It means, and this is ovesimplifying, that it's properly oxygenated. Your hemoglobin and MPV counts should corroborate this.

I cannot trust the work of anyone who does insufficient research to know that in the States, raw cider vinegar is by far one of the most obscure varieties. It's "health food hoodoo", someone once told me. Nice. My local chain grocery only started selling it last year--in the health foods section.

6143. Re: grain damage?
Part of the problem with modern grains is that they have been Frankensteined--they have been artificially hybridized to have, among other traits, many times the amount of protein as naturally hybridized grains. This is because more protein means a larger, more durable kernel, which in turn means easier mechanical harvesting and threshing. Which, of course, means less waste and more profit. Our

A warmed fruit smoothie can be like a pudding, like if it's a lot of bananas or berries. A green smoothie warmed is OK if it has a lot of herbs and some apple and carrot, and cabbage, as opposed to say, kale. It tastes like a veg soup.

I drink a lot of tea. The leaves are processed by fermenting and drying/roasting them, but I figure, in the "list of crimes" against raw foodism, that's a minor infraction! It also helps, if you have a low-temp food dehydrator, to put stuff like smoothies or raw soups or flax crackers or cut fruit(you get the picture) in the dehydrator for 20-30 minutes at a medium setting to warm the

This regimen will increase your caloric load, which will help you to maintain strength,
