  • Its crazy i know but its solely down to those sort of alkalizing websites that dont use any sort of science for basis other than acidity is the cause of every disease. Which is a joke to start with. The recent one i read was stating all cancers are …
  • Cheers Swazye i forgot he had a forum, i will get in touch with him when i get a spare minute and see what he thinks. I havent read his book though so it will be hard for me to critique what he says. Does he say that lowering fat is the cure for ca…
  • His theory is still very far fetched to me, as ive said over the course of the thread and if you can find a good doctor he will say the same about the altering of PH in the intestine to an alkaline PH is what allows organisms such as candida to turn…
  • Diabetes type 2 is part to do with a chromium deficiency so if there taking in more chromium it could be the reason there having some success. Type 1 is abit more serious though and i have to agree with sueko i cant see it being a healthy idea, inf…
  • Ive not read doug grahams book but id like to know what he thinks about a high fruit/low fat diet for those with diabetes specifically type 1. Ive seen quite a few recommend it to those with diabetes type 1 only for the poster never come back with t…
  • Good post Ghost, theres always the issue that what may work for you might not necessarily work for me. Theres no one diet/lifestyle that fits all, would be a damn site easier if there was though. Pretty much the same with healing also what might cur…
  • Come on durian, there are multiple fit professional athletes who sit an eat donner kebabs and other junk for the staples of there diet. Amir khan etc was said to be scoffing on mars bars and kebabs, the guys fit as a whistle and looks healthy also. …
  • Partially correct:) minus again that candida or bacteria has no role in blood sugar regulation. Although the adrenal glands are one of the main factors in regulation we cant forget the other hormones that also regulate blood sugar such as glucagon, …
  • Yes yeast or fungal form as i stated but its not a bacteria as you stated in your article. Again candida has no role in blood sugar regulation, various hormones are the main regulators of blood sugar along with the adrenal glands. The reason why th…
  • its a common misconception ghost, mainly due to them alkaline/acid type websites that attribute every condition under the sun to over-acidic PH. Which is actually not that common as they like you to believe, the body has strict buffering systems tha…
  • That is correct but blood sugar levels dont have anything to do with causing candida, nor does fat or carb intake. If that was the case nearly every diabetic or pre-diabetic would have candidiasis. The only reason the candida growth gene gets turne…
  • I dont know where this high fat contributes to candida come from or how doug graham thinks this. Candida, SIBO and other opportunistic infections happen because of a change in terrain. Such as anti-biotics wiping out your good flora which generate …
  • Haha i like the one on the right nice one, my friend also carved a watermelon jack o lantern this year ill try to get pics.  
  • I think Deadly Steve summed that up pretty well:), im glad you added the seaweeds for the iodine, its so often overlooked.  
  • It depends on the type of sprout really some like alfalfa are quite low in carbohydrates, whilst others are abit higher thus more energy. They are a great source of protein though on a raw vegan diet and i try to eat a fair amount also.  
  • Sure in my opinion you've got to do what you can do to survive so i see no problem in that. A little nuts/seeds per day wont drastically hurt you in anyway and they as you know are calorie dense obviously on a high fruit diet your not going to want …
  • The anti-microbial action of raspberries isnt from allicin its from other compounds such as ellagic acid, same outcome though and the way i read the article was what i picked up on it that killing of bacteria isnt necessarily a good thing. Which par…
  • I was meaning the whole garlic/onion is a toxin in particular but i did read the article and i dont agree with the whole skewed view that because garlic has side effects that it is comparable to a drug. Much that all drugs = poison, anything that c…
  • Lol it isnt a toxin, there are many decently designed studies which supports garlics health properties. This is the same stuff i see on other health forums people saying garlic, onions are toxins, its just laughable especially when there's no infor…
  • Welcome to the forums, enjoying your blog:). But i couldnt find the avocado salsa recipe, id appreciate it you could post the link. Cheers  
  • Not raw but i most likely put too rest my orthorexia via a vegan diet. Anytime i ate anything which i deemed unhealthy i beat myself up mentally so hard that everything became a horrible challenge. Im sure most with ED can relate to that also. It w…
  • i would bet my bottom dollar that they arent raw, and probably mass produced but i believe the company well in the UK anyway that supply there food now is neals yard for there nuts, dates, seeds products. Might be worth a bash getting in contact wi…
  • Haha cool i will do that. I guess ill try to be sensible with how big a batch i make, but as you say id prob eat them all before they'd go off date anyway:).  
  • Welcome to the forums:). Ive been over to the Netherlands numerous times now and its a wonderful country.

  • Is there anything to suggest this swazye, i hear this often on the raw forums? From my understanding fermentation of food comes from low stomach acid allowing the food to sit and ferment causing digestive symptoms such as bloating, gas etc. But im …

  • Im not sure i agree fully with that swazye although the basis i do. From the studys and excerpts ive read on coconut oil it is helpful for a variety of conditions such as thyroid disorders, immune problems, digestive disorders etc. But yeah in most…

  • Soaked nuts would probably be a better option as they have accompanying nutrients always better to find wholefood sources. Seeds are also a good choice, chia is my favorite at the moment. I believe even if there cold pressed there not considered ra…

  • deasmiles sounds nice:), do you have any recipes your willing to share especially the pudding and jellies? Im not very adventurous when it comes to food. Cheers  
  • They dont rawsweetwendy, so no need to soak, like i say you can eat them straight from the spoon.  
  • No there fine without soaking:), infact you can eat them straight from the spoon etc. Some people make chia gel which is chia mixed with water but again its not necessary.
