Guest guest Posted June 12, 2001 Report Share Posted June 12, 2001 Hi Dr, Pressman, Actually, If you just eat fruits and seeds, your are not killing the plants. There are some people who eat according to this philosophy. By eating fruit and seeds, some of the seeds pass through the body and spread the plant. Fruits have pits and seeds inside that are often inedible and get spread far and wide by the person eating them which makes more plants resulting in more fruit. Many plants and animals have this symbiotic relationship. Best Wishes! Pete > > > > Hello folks, > > > > > > > > We actually do have some sharp, pointed teeth.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2001 Report Share Posted June 12, 2001 Dear Pete, I am aware of that. However, a vegan with systemic candidiasis is going to be in trouble if they eat only fruit and seeds. So, they would be eating plants that are harvested while living.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2001 Report Share Posted June 13, 2001 Hi , I personally had a severe case of systematic candida for years which I overcame with a raw food vegan diet and I do not suffer from any deficiencies. I would bloat up everytime I ate anything and smelled like yeast. I know it came be done. Here is an article with tips on how to: http://www.abundantlivinglifestylecenter.com/articles/health/candida.h tml I agree with a lot of what you said in your post. I copied this from rawfoods.com. Its a view that supports some of the things you said. I've come to the conclusion that it is not accurate to say we need to be vegan or we need to eat meat to have optimum health. There are too many factors besides diet that come into play. What might be a good diet in the frozen arctic would make someone ill in the tropics.Hereditiary adaptions make a huge difference, too. " .......I'm bored with comparisons to primates and pre-historic man.........if we were presented with a pre-historic diet, or a primate diet in the wild, we probably would find it very distasteful!........pre-historic man didn't have sweet watermelons for one, and naturalist who were studying primates in the jungle ( i saw this on PBS once) found that when they gave chimps in the wild bananas they would eat themselves into a coma, or until they barfed........and they would fight over them too....so the strongest chimp got to be the sickest .......as far as pre-historic man is concerned.....if i'm starving to death, i can make a spiritual decision to die because i've had so many creature comforts that my leftover earthly desires are few.......pre-historic man may have eaten his young if he was hungry enough for all we know.........i'm projecting here, but my point is that our foodstuffs are so far removed from the diet of pre-historic man that it is facitious to me to be compared to cave men when talking dietary regime.....The three wordly tribes that are reported to live consistently long lives (Mountainous Peruvians, Hunzas, and the Mountainous Russian Georgians) who have been documented and recorded have some similarities.....they drink pure water, they grow their vegetables in rich alluvial soils, they breathe pure mountain air, they don't have cars, their exercise is running up and down the mountains to visit and do their chores, a lot of them smoke (home grown tobacco) and drink alcohol (keeps the blood thinned when you get over a 100)....and they are not totally vegetarian, although they don't eat very much meat, and they aren't totally raw although they eat mostly raw......i have an acquaintance at work whose grandfather lived to be over 120.....he fathered two children in his nineties, and drank whiskey and ate olives on his porch every night before going to bed.......he was egyptian, and lived on a farm........he probably didn't have air-conditioning either....

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2001 Report Share Posted June 13, 2001 Hi Dr Pressman, I had a severe case of systematic candida which I overcame on a raw food vegan diet. My stomach used to bloat out everytime I ate anything and I smelled like yeast. However, I did not only eat fruit and seeds, but a lot of greens and fatty foods as well. I also took several anticandida herbs. Many others have done it as well. Here is a link that gives some tips: http://www.abundantlivinglifestylecenter.com/articles/health/candida.h tml Best Wishes!

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Well, I went shopping today and got so many fruits and veggies~ I don't think I've ever bought so much produce at one time, hehehe. (Now the hard part comes~ actually cleaning and eating it)! I am planning probably about 80% raw for now, I hope I can do it. Does anyone have suggestions for breakfasts? I plan to join a raw group also, but just wondered if any here had any great ideas. Or...maybe that should include some of my cooked food? What do you all think?

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 My boyfriend's mom is about 80% raw. She does eat cooked foods like once a day but I think the reason she is so disciplined is because she believes in everything she reads about raw eating. I think if you believe in it half heartedly its going to be harder to stick to it. What are your reasons for eating raw? Make sure to read up on the supplements you should take and to also remember to take that multivitamin daily. I wish I knew more about it and I wish I could do it. Fruits and veggies are so expensive plus you have to go shopping so frequently (and I HATE grocery shopping). And you could always try easing into it... start out maybe 20% raw for a week, then next week try 40%, building your way up to 80%. I think next time I go shopping I'll try to get more fruits and veggies and try for a 50% raw to start out with. With the way my health is going eating like that could only help me. (gallbladder troubles, heart palpatations, diabetes runs in the family hopefully I can steer clear and of course I'm overweight.) PS. Let me know how it goes for your raw diet and if you learn anything interesting I'd love to hear it.

Soak wheat 15 hrs, allow to drain 15 hrs. wheat left from rejuvelac process can be used! Grind the wheat, add veges, season on top, form loaf. " Bake " in the Sun or warm place(70-90 deg) until firm(12-24 hrs). Bread may need to be turned so that bottom will dry. Enjoy !

Wonderful with guacamole or other dips! Also a great way to make convience food out of compost. Chick Pea Bread 2 cups chick peas sprouted 2 cups wheat sprouts 1/2 tsp. cumin 1 garlic clove, pressed Grind, blend or homogenize the grain. Add spice and spread batter 1/4-inch thick on a dehydrator tray prepared with parchment paper.

In Vita Mix - (in 2-4 batches so to not bog down): Fresh juice of 4 lemons, 4 limes, a touch of maple syrup (optional), and 20 drops of the essential oils of lemon, and tangerine, and Thieves blend, (I use Young Living Oils- YUM!). You will have to add some water while blending, but keep fairly thick. Spoon onto the teflex sheets. Dehydrate at 95* for several hours. When dry to the touch, flip over with a spatula, and continue to dry until rather crisp, (usually a total of 1-1.5 days). I play with the thickness of batter; you just get a feel for it. These rival ANY cookie out of you past! Ann Wigmore Recipes These recipes produce broken down proteins, and enzymes and maintain the " Life Force " usually destroyed by cooking or processing. A diet of raw foods has been known to reverse disease and the effects of the standard American diet. Organic foods that promote vibrant health include: fruit, veggies, fresh raw juices,sprouted beans and seeds (mung bean, alfalfa are favorites), nuts, pure water and air. " Life Force " is the information memory stored in live plants and this can be absorbed by humans thereby bringing us spark.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 A few weeks ago, I saw a book in a bookstore (two books, actually, BOTH with the exact same title, the word " RAW " ). I was really looking for a book with a lot of information about going raw, why to go raw, what good and what's bad about eating raw, how to process raw foods safely, which foods might not be desirable to consume raw, etc. I DID NOT find such a book in the bookstore or looking around online. I've had to cull bits and pieces of info from various sources. Still, the introductory information in the JULIANO book " Raw " was enough to get me going on this. It's not a LOT of information. Most of the other books I found are just a compilation of recipes and combinations. But I think the no book is more heartfelt -- more " user friendly " -- and the pictures and recipes give you a better idea of what you're shooting for with a raw diet, better than most of the other books I considered buying. I use the Vita Mix to burst open cell walls -- and after 2 months I really noticed a difference in my health. I do think that it takes a while for the body to adjust to a more healthy way of eating -- and that if you are considering a REALLY REALLY raw way of eating, you should make sure your body is pretty much " in balance " all the way around. I don't mean to suggest it's harmful ; eating clean, beautiful raw foods could only improve your health no matter what, I'd say. But if you do get into good health and THEN go raw, well, you go will be able to tell the benefits of going raw. Your body will then be able to register the effects of raw foods -- nearly everything I eat makes me go " Oh ! Wow! " after almost a month ( with about 80% of my foods raw ) . I know this isn't a raw site, but SPROUTS are probably the most popular raw " health food " there is.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Gail, I would be scared to death to eat anything coming out of New orleans. Did you read about the woman who found a dead turtle in her bag of Folger's? It came from the plant in New orleans. I suggest a google search to find a grainery in another location that you could order from. And always, you can get your seeds from ! http://neworleansenviro.blogspot.com/ Here is info with current updates on how bad the disease problems are http://www.environmentalhealthnews.org/ here's info on TB. If you google katrina cough or read some of these websites you will realize the link between cough from molds, tb, and avian flu have common link and could make ripe for a pandemic http://reference.allrefer.com/encyclopedia/T/tubercul-incidence.html here is very good info on avian flu and TB link: http://www.healthgene.com/avian/ar_avian_tb2.asp here's the story about how coffee plant was back to work within 2 weeks of Katrina: http://www.folgers.com/folgers_relief/press_release.shtml If the page is still there..article of how Katrina victims were flown to closed military bases and are being held, first called " detainees " now they justify holding them by calling them " insurgents " http://www.unknownnews.net/ here's the story about the dead turtle in the coffee: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/news/archive/2005/11/10/national/a14\ 1831S62.DTL & type=bondage Gail Scarbrough <glsh47@...> wrote: Wow Magnolia, thanks for the great recipes. Can't wait to try them. Unfortunately the Whole Foods Market in New Orleans where I got most of my healthy foods was damaged by Katrina and still isn't opened yet. The local health food stores around here are nothing more than a joke.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 please be careful about using the word " RAW " . I do not want any more understandings!!!!!! : ) Jertoons@... wrote: A few weeks ago, I saw a book in a bookstore (two books, actually, BOTH with the exact same title, the word " RAW " ). I was really looking for a book with a lot of information about going raw, why to go raw, what good and what's bad about eating raw, how to process raw foods safely, which foods might not be desirable to consume raw, etc. I DID NOT find such a book in the bookstore or looking around online. I've had to cull bits and pieces of info from various sources. Still, the introductory information in the JULIANO book " Raw " was enough to get me going on this. It's not a LOT of information. Most of the other books I found are just a compilation of recipes and combinations. But I think the no book is more heartfelt -- more " user friendly " -- and the pictures and recipes give you a better idea of what you're shooting for with a raw diet, better than most of the other books I considered buying. I use the Vita Mix to burst open cell walls -- and after 2 months I really noticed a difference in my health. I do think that it takes a while for the body to adjust to a more healthy way of eating -- and that if you are considering a REALLY REALLY raw way of eating, you should make sure your body is pretty much " in balance " all the way around. I don't mean to suggest it's harmful ; eating clean, beautiful raw foods could only improve your health no matter what, I'd say. But if you do get into good health and THEN go raw, well, you go will be able to tell the benefits of going raw. Your body will then be able to register the effects of raw foods -- nearly everything I eat makes me go " Oh ! Wow! " after almost a month ( with about 80% of my foods raw ) . I know this isn't a raw site, but SPROUTS are probably the most popular raw " health food " there is.

Yeah, I know what you are saying. This isn't something that I am going to do overnight. I need to ease into this because I have a long way to go and any major change in diet should be gradual, (my opinion) Gail in MS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Maybe you discussed that book already but the book Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon is really outstanding. Lot's of info and lots of recipes. I don't think it has that much on raw foods, but overall I can only highly recommend it. gis On 12/12/05, Gail Scarbrough <glsh47@...> wrote: > > > if you are > > considering a REALLY REALLY raw way of eating, you should make sure > your body is > > pretty much " in balance " all the way around. > > > Yeah, I know what you are saying.
