• If you eat the correct foods, which are the ones that were set on earth for humans to consume weight issues just do not exist. The problem is that people modify the foods that were created for us to consume and the natural gas gauge that exists in o…

• I read an article in a magazine published by Brian Clement of Hippocrates that was on the toxicity of teflon. It is toxic even at low temperatures. I have no idea what would replace it. It’s best not to use a dehydrator anyway.

  in Dehydrators? Comment by SocaL
• I believe that is the way to go, solar drying uses no non-renewable resources, costs nothing, and contains no toxins or unnatural radiation. I would think that a clean piece of glass would be great to use instead of toxic nylon. Too bad we all don’t…

• orgfoodaddict, you need not go to a gym but just start with a walk around the block. Then try to add situps, pushups, or whatever other exercise you prefer (yoga is great). If you give your body the desire for more calories and do strength building …

  in Loosing weight :( Comment by SocaL
• I agree with the comments given. For starting out on a new diet it is best to do what needs to be done to stay the course and not return to the old cooked diets. Disregard the calorie counting at the start and start a regular scheduled workout with …

• judy, I eat the 811 diet and I used to get acne several times a year (even when on the high fat raw diet). Now it rarely if ever comes and when I do get it it goes in a couple of days.

• I travel often to foreign places (foreign for people in USA). I usually find a grocery store near where I will be staying and buy vegetables and fruits there and eat them in my room. Once in a while I will seek out a restaurant that has a salad on t…

• Bringing any kind of fresh food into the US is a big no no. Processed food are often allowed. I bring bananas on flights and usually eat them all before landing. If you only have about 6 to 8 the airline normally won’t bother you. I don’t know which…

• As far as my understanding goes carob is a completely different plant from cacao. It doesn’t contain the addictive substances that cacao contains. The issue with carob is probably finding it really raw. Even the products labeled raw carob might be p…

  in Scary if true: Cacao is toxic? Comment by SocaL
• Cacao is a controversial topic these days. My feelings are that since as was said above companies such as nature’s first law gain huge amounts of income from sales of ‘raw’ cacao they will not go out of their way to find the truth no matter what it …

• Do you have a reference for this? Is this the same for organic bagged veggies? I rarely consume them but once in a while they are so much more convenient than washing and peeling or cutting especially when at work or while driving.

• Actually barose people who are diabetic (type 1 and type 2) usually get cured or at least need to reduce their insulin with 811. If you post a question to Doug Graham about your situation on his forum (it is at vegsource.com/talk/raw ) he will most …

• Who really knows for sure but even people who eat pure 100% raw foods such as avocados and no nuts feel a great difference when they switch to the 811 diet. Fat is bad for the body in any state. I don’t know about others but when I eat even a ripe s…

• It’s really simple to lose weight. All you need to do is increase the fruits and digestible vegetables such as lettuce and reduce the nuts and fats. Stop using oils of any kind. Use lemon or orange juices for your salad dressing instead of oil. Incr…

• Another problem that I had with dried fruits (in my case it was pineapple) was that it caused my tooth to crack. The strong condensed acid and the hard texture contributed to this I am sure. I have since stopped eating dried fruits except for very r…

• My motto: when in doubt throw them out. Nuts and seeds actually go rancid much faster than the vendors want us to know. They often are rancid on the store shelf. If they were not stored in a fridge at the store you shouldn’t buy them. The oils in th…

• Great posts! None however say that these are not toxic. You prove my point again as almost every one of those posts indicate that these spices kill something (cancer cells, bacteria, etc.) things that kill are toxic. End of story.
