• I don’t think any alcohol product is really raw. I was very surprised when I ate at Juliano’s Raw in Santa Monica and saw the stacks of wine bottles that he has there. I think that is more evidence that these ‘raw’ restaurants just cater to ‘what th…

• Hello Kaye, I had UC for almost 20 years and resolved it 100% with none other than fruit. It was a little discouraging at the beginning as I was in detox mode for about 2 weeks but once I got over that I was 100% cured. Here is the link to David Kle…

• The article was not about veganism but about how going from a hunter / gatherer society to an agriculture society was a big mistake. Veganism is more related to the expanding of the human population from the equatorial regions of the earth to the co…

• Actually there is a forum devoted to support for the 80/10/10 diet. It is at vegsource.com/talk/raw – this forum is general and most people here will not have specific answers to your questions. I suggest you post there as Doug himself often replies…

• Almost never. If you want to eat raw do not eat frozen fruits or veggies.

• That’s the way Google ads work, they find keywords that are on the content of the page. If they see the word diet, health, fitness, and similar words then the ads related to those words get put up. Raw food stores and restaurants do not have the inc…

• To lose weight you need to consume less fats. Why do you use apple cider vinegar? That is a very toxic food. It is probably contributing to your acid reflux. Eating 3 – 5 bananas is not a problem but a good thing. I eat as many as 15 bananas a day. …

• Actually oils are not a very good food. Not sure if you have read other threads, especially ones related to the 811 diet. Anyway – the best way to be healthy and raw is to limit fat intake. That doesn’t mean to be skinny though, you just need to exe…

• That is also known as Udo’s Choice. Before I was on 811 I used to take that as a supplement. I think it is 100% raw. Personally I do not believe in using oil. Oil is not found in nature which means it is always a processed food. The best way to get …

• Sure blending will help some in digestion, but it still will not be as easy to digest as the soft greens. Really, blending to make something digestible is akin to cooking. Raw dieters say we were not born with pots or pans in our hands but we also w…

• That is a habit from the cooked food days. That feeling of being satisfied does not mean you are getting the nutrients that you need. As Chris mentioned in another thread it is the feeling of your stomach being paralyzed by cooked food. It is fine t…

• Contrary to the other opinions given, those are difficult greens to digest. The easiest greens to digest are lettuces such as iceburg and romaine, followed by baby spinach. Kale, chards and collards are tough and fibrous and eventhough they are pack…

• Do not worry about the B12. I don’t know what your diet was before going raw but the liver stores enough B12 in most people for a long time, usually months or years. Also there is an excellent article on B12 in David Klein’s latest Living Nutrition …

• I had UC for nearly 20 years. Wish I found out about natural hygiene a lot earlier. Don’t you believe that UC and CD are not really diseases at all but are just symptoms of a bad lifestyle? I have no idea why there are foundations seeking to find th…

• rawdancer, did you resolve the Crohn’s with natural hygiene? I used to have ulcerative colitis but in 2005 I healed myself with natural hygiene and I am now following the 811 diet to stay clear of any chronic illnesses, so far so good!

• This is not only logical since these enzymes would digest the food even before we eat them if they were able to digest them but supported by many doctors and scientists. Joel Fuhrman is one, Doug Graham is another. I disagree with Furhman however be…

• The most important thing about food combining is the way your body feels. If you mix all the wrong things together and you don’t feel any distress then do not worry about it. If you seem to get cramps, gas, bloating etc. then you need to worry about…

• You need to be careful with any ‘superstore’ kind of business. Raw or not the motivation is still money and that is not always in eveyone’s best interest.

  in raw cashews, really raw? Comment by SocaL
• Personally I am just wee bit suspicious of David Wolfe’s claims. He does the same thing with raw cacao. Maybe he has a very good defense lawyer or he assumes that raw food people are not aggressive enough to sue him on some of his exaggerated claims…

• It’s nearly the diet from the 80/10/10 Diet book. There is a thread on it called 8/1/1 (it’s also known as the 811 diet). 80% of your calories come from carbs, 10% from protein and 10% from fat. Simple, easy, and very delicious. Human milk is only 5…

• As far as logical goes, trying to eat 10 bananas but avoiding 2 avocados, doesn’t sound very logical to me. Bananas are one of the most hybridized foods we have. and What if you live in Mexico? Okay, I think I should stop eating bananas because they…

• I agree that soy and all of it’s derivatives are toxic. Why do so many raw food dieters eat nama shoyu? It is probably more toxic than most of the other soy products.
