Give it to me Raw

A little long winded video, but worth the listen to if you care about your community : )

Much love to all the supportive folks on the site. I appreciate you deeply for everything you stand for.

More info on the GI2MR Sherpa's Program coming this Wednesday!

With Purpose,
Dhrumil

p.s. Throw your thoughts into the mix. Would love to hear what you feel about all this.

Dhru,
Thanks for caring enough to make the tough calls and moreover, for continuously trying to increase the value of this community.

If it weren't for GI2MR, I would've had little incentive to stay raw for just about a year now. So just wanted to let you know that I (and I'm sure most of us) sincerely appreciate what you bring to this community.

Thanks always,

Gil

Thanks so much for stepping in with some positive energy Dhru. Like you, I've been feeling it's not enough to remove the trolls when there is a leadership void. There are so many with boundless positive experience in our membership that can be used to shed a little light on the path. That's my definition of Guides - people who are still working on themselves; growing and changing and shining a little light on the path behind them as they go. Gurus are fixed and in the box.

I like the guide concept as well.

Wise words :) Thank you for addressing this Dhrumil, the negativity going on previously was turning me off the site. Well done. I agree with everything you said.

Rock on!

Excellent point about not just removing the negative but also adding positive. Definitely applies to healing too.. and, I suspect, everything (as you point out with food, friends, community...).. and thoughts, words, behaviours... :)

Another possibility re increasing the positive aspects of the site might be to have a "best of" - just highlighting those conversations (no matter how old) that are exemplary, that are supportive, loving, informative, AND hold differing opinions. Would be a good guide for new members - might help set the tone.

Oh, & here's more about the broken windows theory (if anyone is curious).

this resonates with me as well. the ability to vote on/rank the quality of a thread could do that...

I haven't noticed anybody being negative, but than again I have not had a lot of time to be as involved on here as I'd like. I think it's a great idea, and you have such creative ideas! Anything that will allow for more support and positive role models is worth a shot. I think it is far more effective to lead by example than to simply punish or ban. I've had some rather negative experiences in real life with raw foodists who, instead of leading and sharing with me when I was not in the place they were with-they simply excluded me...sometimes people who are not at your "level" have good intentions, but are just lacking in guidance. Excellent idea, and best wishes on it!

Hi Isabel, I wish it were that fast and easy, and I wish I could give you a formula. Unfortunately, how long it takes each person to detox depends much less on someone's age, but rather on the intersection between the level of toxicity of the bod...

Thank you guys for the advice! Freelee, i have learned about food combining before, I guess I was just hoping that in the raw environment it would be different. But it's ok! I just want to feel good.

The best thing to do is drink green juices. Juice 2 lbs of greens per day. You are working from an old paradigm of health. Doing protein drinks doesn't help anyone. From your description you are not eating greens at all. You need to eat greens to ...

Learn about proper food combining, this is vital. Fruit is designed to be eaten alone, if eaten with fat,the fat keeps the sugar in the bloodstream for an unnatural length of time feeding problems such as candida, diabetes, adrenal fatigue etc. It...
