  • Cannabis Benefits??

    Hi All, I just want to ask if anyone ever tried using medical cannabis as an alternative meds? I have read many articles about medical marijuana and how it can help you in terms of chronic pain, bone injuries, eating disorder/anorexia, anxiety disorders and panic attacks, inflammation, even cancer and a lot more. Cbd and thc are also new to me and I don't even smoke. If this is true I cant find any solid conclusive evidence that speaks to its efficacy. Any personal experience or testimonial would be highly appreciated. Thanks

  • What kind of olive oil?

    For the best, it has to be Living Tree Community. http://www.livingtreecommunity.com/

    It’s truly Alive, Organic Olive Oil – Unheated, Unfiltered, UNPRESSED!

    Created at room temperature (70 degrees Fahrenheit), extra virgin; instead of pressing the olives under tons of pressure, they are sliced and the slurry is put in a malaxer to churn it slowly. It is then put in a centrifuge decanter which gently separates solids from liquids. Finally it’s put in a separator to separate oil from water. The old procedure of pressing can easily cause temperatures to exceed 140 degrees fahrenheit, whereas now the temperature is kept below 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Because the oil is unheated, so much of its subtle essence and flavor is preserved.

    Cheers! Kristen’s Raw

    Only oil which says it is unfiltered is raw. They use heat to filter it no matter if it is cold pressed or/and first pressing. I use Tescos organic unfiltered, or Belarzu.

  • Travelling to Indonesia, Seeking for Advice!

    If you’re into diving or snorkeling, Komodo and Raja Ampat are incredible spots. The underwater scenes there are amazing, some of the best I've ever experienced. And if you enjoy history and culture, definitely check out Yogyakarta—visiting temples like Borobudur and Prambanan is a must.
    When I travel long distances, I’ve found that flying business class really helps. It makes the trip much more comfortable, and you arrive feeling a lot more relaxed and ready to explore.

    I'd recommend Bali. it's beautiful and very tourist friendly so a great place to start your trip. From there, I'd suggest diving or snorkeling at nearby Nusa Penida or Lembongan islands. If you have more time, head to Komodo National Park. The Komodo dragons are an incredible sight and it has lovely beaches too.

  • Sick when eating cooked food

    I'm also suffering from severe stomach discomfort, low mood when trying to eat cooked foods.  I've been RAW for slightly over one year (to reverse autoimmune disease) and I'm trying to add a small amount of cooked foods but get so, so sick!!!!  Would really like to learn how to be able to eat occasional/ small quantities of cooked foods.  Any insight is greatly appreciated

  • Sick when eating cooked food

     Well I'm glad that it's not only me. I have been mostly raw for about 15 years. It helped me with my CFS. But whenever I eat something cooked - guess what ? I get sick !! Like now - yesterday I had some bean/veggie soup. Very unusual for me, but I just fancied something cooked. But next morning - guess what? Yes you're right - I woke up feeling sick. Was it worth it ? LOL !

  • Sick when eating cooked food

    To be honest I have no problem eating cooked food. My digestion is so strong from eating healthy that in general it’s no problem. Now if I eat to much over long periods of time—whole nother story. For the most part I have become resilient to all the crap because I take such great care taking in what is healthy. When I make a bad decision, like eating too much of something it doesn’t take long to leave my system. Ifeel so healthy and have been through so much worse a little cooked food doesn’t bother me anymore, I just don’t care to live and eat that way—smiles

  • Sick when eating cooked food

    i was whole food vegan like 13 years when 27 months ago went raw , well after the first 8 months totally raw and doing several fasts any where from 3 to 20 days i got sick of constantly worrying about eating ’ perfect ’ and revolted by having my old favorite cooked whole vegan meal . and i couldnt believe how numbed / dulled up and sickly like i had the flu i felt . i really thought i had the flu and dismissed it at that . well then say 5 months later i revolted again for a cooked vegan meal and same thing . then several months later tried another cooked vegan meal and same thing . at that point i said thats it , now that my system is used to raw pure cell fuel cooked devitalized slop is like throwing wet logs on a fire = they smolder instead of burning brightly . and my cells are all little fires that burn on the fuel i eat , and raw fuel is like dry fire wood to my cell fires that burn brightly on it . now the lessons been established enough for me to never eat cooked and put all my focus into seeking out the perfect raw foods for my type . and its just a matter of time before raw goes mainstream and the more people involved the more ideas thrown around and the quicker everyone shall find their ideal raw diet .
