• We all choose to do whatever we want to do, unfortunately many of us are not educated on the consequences of our actions before we make the choice. Often we hear the consequences but choose to ignore them or do not believe them because they came fro…

• Lots of inspiration on this thread. Personally I believe that nearly all cancers that humans get are self-imposed, which is due to their bad lifestyle. These lifestyle choices include diet, thoughts, exercise, chemicals they use (toiletries etc.), s…

• Nagev, you sure have it down! Long ago the number one activity of man was finding food to survive. They would walk for hours until they found food. Usually it would be a tree full of ripe fruit. Do you think they would pick one mango and move on to …

• I tried this with ‘Organic Dried Tomatoes’ from Trader Joe’s. The results seemed to look like tomato paste but the taste was a little on the bitter side, the worst part was after eating this on a salad I got stomach cramps. Maybe the dried tomatoes …

• Thanks for that! Would sundried tomatoes be as good as dehydrated? I do not have a dehydrator.

• shane, here is Doug Graham’s rebuttal of some of the things that Dr. Weil (who is definitely not the picture of health himself) says about raw food. www.foodnsport.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_… For some reason the link is not working. Instead ju…

  in I only eat smoothies-my wife's worried Comment by SocaL
• The human requirements for fat are much lower than you might have thought. If you read Doug Graham’s 80/10/10 Diet, you will see the proof that we need less than 10% of calories from fat. You will get at least that from the green smoothies. That is …

• All salt is equal. Many will say otherwise but no salt is really a food, it is just a rock like all of the other minerals. It has no business being in our diet. If you need to get a salty taste then use a plant that already has the salt in a digesti…

• Shaker, thanks a lot for this insight. I have known for a long time that plastics leach chemicals into the food or beverage that is contained inside them. I read an article that was writen in a magazine I picked up at a health food store. It said th…

• rediscoverrawfood, I will explain further what I meant by growing everywhere if we were meant to eat them. Logically man arrived on earth at very temperate areas (we are born without clothes, hair, heaters, etc.). This means that we are not really s…

  in survive without superfoods Comment by SocaL
• I don’t agree with eating any special foods like those mentioned on this thread. If we were meant to eat them they would be readily available growing on trees most everywhere. Of course David Wolfe wants everyone to want to consume these as he is on…

• jayybee30, the prices are on the PDF document at the web site, shipping is by UPS (I think) and the cost depends on where you are. For me I think it was only about $5 for shipping the 10 pound boxes. I find that overall the cost is in the area of $5…

  in Are dried dates raw? Comment by SocaL
• Fresh dates are grown in Southern California. There are many date farms all over the Palm Springs area. The date people is one of the suppliers who ship dates: http://datepeople.net/ Try them and I’m sure you will never want to eat dried dates again…

• stylistchick, the guy who writes that blog is a big guy, I believe that he is over 6 feet tall. I don’t think your requirements are anything like his. He also is quite active. He is not the only one who is being helped with the diet, there have been…

• For lots more on diabetes look at this thread: http://www.goneraw.com/forums/3/topics/635?page=2 I posted a link to Robby B’s blog, he is a type 1 diabetic getting off insulin naturally. His results are really spectacular. You can consult with Dr. G…

• Katie, no, I do not use a tongue scraper but I do floss every now and then, especially when there is some food stuck between my teeth. Before I ate raw food I would wake up with a gross film or coating in my mouth, now I get nothing at all and do no…

  in Toothpaste Comment by SocaL
• I stopped using toothpaste a few months ago. I just use a wet toothbrush and it works fine for me. I also only brush one time a day as I prefer not to brush away the enamel of my teeth especially when I don’t feel the need for it.

  in Toothpaste Comment by SocaL
• Carrots and tomatoes do have more bio-availability of certain nutrients when cooked, but as 123 said this is not what we need as humans, we need the whole food with all the components combined into one package. This is the best way to eat all foods.…

  in Cooked carrots better than Raw? Comment by SocaL
• The key here is to stop consuming the toxic substance for a good length of time and then trying it again. Of course if you consistently drink tea you will not notice anything, try to stop all caffeine for at least 6 weeks and then try a cup of green…

  in Green and white tea Comment by SocaL
• shane, I did something similar to you. Eventhough I was raw for years I still consumed white tea almost every day due to the misinformation about how it was good for preventing colon cancer. When I started on the 811 diet I stopped drinking it. Then…

  in Having problems with raw food Comment by SocaL
• I have a problem with the raw temperature issue. If the enzymes (whatever they are worth as they do not help in digestion but can add nutrients to our diet) are dead at 105 degrees or 110 degrees then everything that was exposed to a desert temperat…

  in Mostly Raw? Comment by SocaL
• omshanti, that mixture sounds fine. The reason you are thirsty after the smoothie is probably not due to the smoothie but something else. You would have to give your entire diet and health history to me in order for me to have an idea why you get th…

  in Salt Cravings? Comment by SocaL
• Salt is not a food at all, it is the same as earth, sand, dirt, minerals, etc. It is treated as a toxin by our body. People who stop eating any form of salt for a while will realize this rather quickly when they eat something that was salted. The be…

  in Salt Cravings? Comment by SocaL
• Shane, there are only a couple of things I want to add. First, even though many raw fooders say they are great, the truth is that kale, chard, and collards are very difficult to digest, nature has made them with a tough coating and this tells us som…
