• Matt Amendson, in his book Rawvolution, talks about increased sexual “abilities” in the introduction. It was the main reason he became a raw foodist overnight.

• I would NEVER get the vaccine myself or allow my daughter to get it. The strain of HPV that you are protected from is so rare. Also, safe sex practices will prevent you from getting it. It is just another way the drug companies are trying to make mo…

• We get flack for letting our kids eat when they want all the time. My daughter is 3 and, like most toddlers, still grazes her way throug the day. She eats fruits and veggies all day long, and when it is time for “dinner” she is not hungry. This REAL…

• I would stay away from any edamame, but especially the raw. There are many neurotoxins in soy, and it can damage all your glads. It is especially dangerous for children, particularly boys. For more info. on this, you can visit a website that I have:…

• My naturopath/midwife told me that if I was ever not able to breastfeed in an emergency situation that rice milk or carrot juice were the next best options. I never had to worry about it, so I didn’t bother to do the research on them. Just other opt…

• A great combo for a smoothie is kale and peaches or nectarines. We found out while experimenting with my mom that it didn’t make her blood sugar go up more than a few points, and always within normal.

• Lettuce wraps…so easy! I just put a bunch of veggies in the food processor to chop, then put them inside lettuce wraps with some raw dipping sauces, such as sesame, plum, or even barbeque. My family likes them , and it takes just minutes to make.

• You can just soak them (germinate them), but make sure you rinse them a few times with fresh water to provide them with oxygen, so they don’t start to go bad.

• Yes, you can soak and sprout chickpeas. You don’t have to cook them. After sprouting, you can blend them into hummus, or other dips….or just sprinkle them on your salad. Yummy!

• I have heard that Manna bread is NOT truly raw…however, many people use it in the transition to raw because it is “baked” at a significantly lower temperature than regular sprouted breads.

• The Secret, of course….oh, and a fun one that I really like is The Illusionist. It is a “fiction” book, but the principles are about creating your own reality. I read it at least once a year and always walk away with something useful and new.
