• My personal opinion on yin and yang and ping and pong is these are all full of you know what! You need to eat one food if the sun is shining in Poland and another when there is snow in Chile and another when there is a rain in Spain. C’mon this is a…

• Plantains are excellent raw, just make sure they are very very ripe. They need to be totally black on the outside before they are fully ripe and soft to the touch. Bananas and plantains are hybrids, so don’t worry about that. Nearly every food grown…

• You might want to look into Bryan Au’s recipe books. He calls it raw in 10 minutes and doesn’t use any dehydrator (you can’t make anything in 10 minutes using a dehydrator). http://rawinten.com/

• Liquid aminos are not only unraw but are very toxic. Salt is a toxin to the body as well so the best substitute is salty vegetables like celery.

• ItGirl, I said that people will lose most allergy symptoms after living a healthy lifestyle for a period of time, what does that have to do with being vegan and not eating sugar? Vegans for the most part are not healthy, it all depends on what vegan…

• You might find with time that your ‘allergy’ will disappear. Most symptoms that we call allergies are due to a bad diet and lifestyle in the first place. Many people who had severe allergies have found that they go away after they are living a healt…

• I didn’t study with him. It’s just that his philosophy just makes perfect logical sense and the others just don’t. Almost every health advocate tells us to reduce the amount of fat in our diet, to limit or even exclude salt and spices, then these ra…

• Hi Debbie, Doug doesn’t recommend eating grains or legumes or any other similar foods but they can be eaten as part of a healthy diet. The thing about Doug’s diet is that he suggests the optimal foods for optimal digestion and health. Most people wh…

• Obviously humans are different in many respects from other animals, but that doesn’t change the nutritional requirements. Thriving on this planet requires all of the environmental factors that caused humans to evolve. Life is opportunistic, if there…

• It’s probably not because you needed more fat and protein, or that you lost too much weight as Doug says, but because you are under-muscled. This is why I want to read Dr. Cousens’ book – it really makes no logical sense to me that people are indivi…

• You can read this UN report on it, if it’s more “convenient” for you: http://www.fao.org/newsroom/en/news/2006/1000448/ Unfortunately the recommendation of going to a vegan or plant based diet is never seen as a solution…it’s only the vegan groups w…

• Just to make this clear once and for all, Norman Walker died at 99 years of age. I don’t know why so many people claim he lived to 118 or some other number. Here is a picture of his grave stone: http://arizonagravestones.org/view.php?id=33655

• deborahann, the reason why people don’t feel filled up on fruit (or just a short time after) is because we all have had our stomachs shrink due to the terrible diet we eat…not that I am critisizing your diet in particular but I mean we as the modern…

• Please, don’t eat any fruits – leave them all for me…:) I eat 3 fruit meals a day with mostly seasonal fresh from the market fruit. About 90% of my meals are mono fruit meals, meaning I eat only 1 kind of fruit for the meal, like bananas, grapes, pe…

• I suppose it all depends on how much the foods were dehydrated. If they are completely dry (no water at all) then you probably don’t need to freeze the food. It is the water content that causes spoilage. I have kept nuts in the freezer before and th…

• I don’t think it is as serious as Bluedolfin makes it out to be. I wouldn’t panic or worry about it, but to make sure it is nothing dangerous you should see some medical professional. If you know a doctor you trust (oxymoron, I know) or an alternati…
