  • I am American but I live in the UK between Manchester and Liverpool England. Raw is more public in the south of England near London but pretty quiet around here. I do miss the organic produce selection in Northern California (Arcata) but the fresh d…

  • I totally agree with rawmumma! Green Smoothies kill cravings! Nut pate will fill you and make your own bread in a dehydrator!!!

  • I don’t use it because it’s not raw. I live in the UK and it’s easy to get fresh raw dates here from Iran. They are fantastic so I use them for all my sweets. Agave Nectar has to be heated and altered from its natural state to taste sweet. Even when…

  • Yeah, my favorite is the way they quote the total price of something they just weighed. They’ll say those are £6.83??? as if to say, Do you realize how much your are spending on these tomatoes? I usually answer very confidently back. “Oh yeah that’s…

  • I feel the need to apologise. I am Sorry. I now believe I created an atmosphere of “challenge” by giving this post the title “It’s called Raw Food for a reason.” When I re-read my 1st post, I feel Ok. I believe that my motives were about wanting to …

  • Could you give me a source on your Digestive Leukocytosis info? I find it curious that Dr. Kouchakoff missed this easy solution to D.L. Just a quick bite of some raw food and Voila! No toxic reaction to cooked food. I am currently doing some persona…
    in It's called Raw Food for a reason. Comment by chriscarlton
  • I completely disagree about percentages of cooked food. Even 99% raw is a world away from being Purely Raw. Victoria Boutenko, in her great book “12 Steps to Raw” quotes clinical research that shows that if you’re 99% raw you are only able to assimi…

  • Wow SocaL, I have to ask you a few questions about your post! (Many people have failed miserably on the raw diet.) That’s a horrible statement to make without some clarification. Who are these “Many” people? What does “failed miserably” mean? What “…
    in It's called Raw Food for a reason. Comment by chriscarlton
  • The concept of Raw Food is very SIMPLE. Don’t eat cooked food. It really sucks that we live in a world where it’s not clear what has or has not been overheated. It’s not that bad though. Take nuts for example. It is easy to find RAW Almonds, Pine Nu…
    in FRUSTRATED! Anyone else? Comment by chriscarlton
  • Raw or Not! I don’t consume dairy because of serious health reasons. Dairy products contain animal protein and cholesterol. Many assume that dairy is safe compared to animal flesh. It is not! A glass of milk is equal to 7 strips of bacon. Our bodies…

  • Hi kandace, It’s gone! My Cholesterol is below 100. My Heart is Happy! My veins are clear and my BP is 118/78 or so. Yoga helps also. I recommend ‘Bikram Yoga’, either at a class or at home with his book and CD.

  • Thanks for the link. I think the article is great. I had to finally update our Dead Food List page on www.purelyraw.com. I had read about the cacao process before but was putting off changing the page. The article inspired me to get it done. Thanks …
    in Not raw Comment by chriscarlton
  • Instead of giving you my opinion on Good/Bad. I will just say, if you are concerned, try a month without it. I doubt you will want it again. Those I know, who have tried this experiment did not. On a factual note, unless you can stir it with your fi…

  • Hey Ray, I feel your pain about the newsletter timing. Why don’t you send out a statement asking those who tried to visit in response to the newsletter, to give you a 2nd chance. I am sure that all those who matter will understand. Thanks for keepin…
    in Where did Gone Raw go?!? Comment by chriscarlton
  • Hey Pam, I’m Zoe’s husband Chris and I have to say that Zoe’s alterations to “Raw Food” recipes are always an improvement. She is great at making recipes with questionable ingredients into 100% Raw delights that we know are Purely Raw. She also has …

  • Thanks Joesc. That commercial pet food is so bad. Nice to hear the mainstream catching hold of these stories.

  • Be careful. Most Tahini is Not Raw even when it is labelled and sold as Raw. It must be very hard to turn a seed into a liquid without adding liquid or overheating it. You can reproduce the flavour of Tahini by grinding sesame seeds in an electric s…

  • In the UK you can get “Shoyu” under the “Clearspring” label. I believe “Nama Shoyu” is actually a brand, since the label is always the same. Neither one are Raw, by the way. It may be believed to be Raw because it is a type of un-pasturized and un-b…

  • Wow! Thanks for your comments RawVee. I am writing to Living Tree now to ask about their procedure. I try to remember to use words like ‘Most’, ‘Many’ and ‘Usually’ in order to avoid making absolute statements. Because of your comments, I will be ed…
    in Nutritional Yeast Question Comment by chriscarlton
  • Nutritional Yeast is Not Raw. It is both pasteurized and dried at a high temperatures. It is also not needed to make things taste good. Fresher is Better! Check out the “Dead Food List” on http://www.purelyraw.com for other items that are thought to…
    in Nutritional Yeast Question Comment by chriscarlton
  • You are correct. Eating some cooked will keep you out of detox. A slow transition is best. But I do advise geting through that detox period at some point. You can do cleanses and yoga to make it quicker and easier, but get that crap out of you. Toxi…

  • Make sure you test the temperature it runs at, don’t trust the dial. Mine ran at least 15 to 20 degrees hotter than the dial said. I used an ordinary thermometer to check mine and had to turn it down well below the 95f mark to get it to run at 105f.…

  • Here’s a few thoughts on your question. What are your nutritionists numbers based on? Are they based on studies done on cooked food eaters? It sounds like old information. Is your nutritionist Raw? Because if they are not, then I would not trust the…

  • My cooked food cravings did not stop until I was Purely Raw. The last two cooked items that I was eating were nori and nama shoyu. I have not had any cooked food cravings since a week or so after eliminating them both. Around the same time I added g…
