  • Don’t hate me for my evil ways! I would probably feel bad if I went out and killed an animal though. Awesome hypocrisy yeah… You’re all playing vegan mindgames with me! Dragging me into contradicting statements and your temptations of better odor-fr…

  • Not to bash vegans or Christian vegans for that matter, but Jesus ate meat. I’m not sure if any of you believe otherwise, but it is quite true. The two fish and five loaves of bread story should be coming to mind for those Christians out there. I am…

  • I am definitely going to start eating a lot more raw foods and hopefully go on a high raw diet in a couple of weeks. I’ll also take up the vegan challenge sometime for a month or so to see how I feel. Thanks for the suggestions. bitt: I hope you don…

  • Hey Kevlar, how do you recommend I prepare raw meat? I can’t really hack the taste and it’s way too chewy. I do the raw milk and eggs, but I cook meat (rare to medium-rare). Have you ever tried cutting animal products out of your diet? If so, did yo…

  • The information in articles such as these are still preventing me from becoming vegan. I will still look into the book though.

  • Thank you rose for that insightful comment. What do you believe is the proper species specific diet and why is meat excluded?

  • I am not offended. I was just hoping that I would be provided with insight rather than criticism and biased opinions. I was also under the impression that this is a “raw” foods board and not strictly a vegan board. I am aware that you can survive on…

  • Read my last post and then take a second to read the other concepts of the diet. It has some interesting info whether you are vegan or not. I understand the ethical concerns of a non-vegan diet, but please try and leave ethics out of this discussion…

  • Ok for the vegans… Take raw meat out of the picture and replace it with a vegan equivalent such as chlorella.

  • Umeboshi plums are an even healthier alternative to prunes, but they are VERY expensive. It is an excellent (super-tangy) health tonic that is very alkalizing and acts as a digestive aid. I picked up some umeboshi plum paste (7oz) at Whole Foods for…
  • Flax seed can cause some problems (excess fiber), but flax oil should be beneficial. As long as you don’t mind that the phytoestrogens in flax can block and interfere with the action of natural progesterone. I try to stay away from high amounts of p…
  • Sounds like you’re having too much fiber and not enough fat. Mix some type of oil with fruit juice in the morning. Eating fruit with fat is the way to go. Also, I drink some triphala in the evening before bed. That stuff keeps you regular and is an …
  • The dulse shaker should have a nutrition table on the back that states how much iodine is in a serving. Usually 1tsp gives you the RDA, but many people consider the RDA (150mcg in the U.S.) to be too low. The Japanese eat more than 50 times that amo…
  • Cruciferous vegetables do contain goitrogens (thyroid inhibiting compounds) as ambigous stated. There are some other foods such as millet, soybeans, and strawberries that contain goitrogens as well. This [wikipedia link] should help you out. Blue_Ey…
  • An underactive thyroid can be improved with iodine. Sea vegetables such as dulse and wakame are great for supplying this essential mineral. A very easy method for getting optimal intake would be to purchase a dulse shaker and add 1tsp to your water …
  • Oh no! The best natural anti-biotic type stuff I know of is olive leaf. Tinctures are probably stronger, but you can make tea from the dried leaves. Making a broad spectrum anti-biotic would probably help you out very well too (neem, oregano, etc). …
  • Gargling with warm salt water and cayenne is probably the best solution I have used. Colloidal silver spray is great for killing bacteria and can reduce pain and inflammation as well.
  • I’ve been getting a lot of stuff from MountainRoseHerbs and I definitely agree that they are excellent as far as prices and selection goes. I just like knowing what my options are (frugal by nature). Thanks for all of those links! I’ll be sure to ch…
  • I try to follow these myself, but whether they are completely true or not…? Warm water is more hydrating than cold water, because it is closer to our natural body temperature. Drinking cold water expends more of our energy, because the body has to …
  • I don’t know anything about that, but my raw miso has deep well water listed as the first ingredient… ancient Chinese secret?
  • Definitely some good info there pianissima. I have researched a little bit about alkaline water and came to similar conclusions. Natural spring water should usually be at least slightly alkaline. Using a device to change the pH balance wouldn’t have…
  • You guys wanna blow up some pharmaceutical companies?
  • I know this guy who owns a local raw vegan cafe and he was raving about his shower filter. I don’t own one at the moment, but I am looking to purchase one soon. One thing I have learned is that chlorine is much easier absorbed when it is breathed in…
  • What about fresh spring water from a clean source? If accessible, that’s gotta be one of best ways to get your water, no?
  • I’ve heard about distilled water being acidifying, and I believe it to be true. Most minerals are very alkalizing and help keep us properly hydrated. When you filter those out, you are left with a non-hydrating and acidic water. Dulse is definitely …
  • Aw that’s too bad. I’ll do some research on this and see if I can find something that is reasonably priced.
  • That sounds pretty interesting. Do you purchase the water or make it yourself? I’d really been interested in purchasing a reasonably priced tool for generating water like that.
  • worleyhimself2: I just checked out your profile and WOW! Way to go dude! You are living some of my greatest aspirations! You probably coach people all the time, but can you recommend anything to help me get started with lifestyle coaching/health gur…
  • Total as in… “Hey! I recommend that you follow some of these ideals if you are looking to gain weight. Try them and see what works best for you!” or “Hey! I recommend that you follow some of these ideals if you have diabetes!” and so on. It wouldn’t…
  • angie: I understand this… It’s just tough for me to go out and try everything though. I’m aspiring to write a total nutrition book, so people actually know where to start instead of being lost in all of these new diet fads. What are some of the best…
