Thanks for your comment! How was your raw potluck on October 12th? Did you have a good turnout? I hope you had a good time. I'm sorry I missed it. By all means please keep me posted on any future potlucks that you become aware of. I have never been to one but, I would love to come and try it out!
Hi Amy! Thanks so much for the compliment-
it's very nice to hear :)
I'm doing great without coffee- for me, what really worked is yerba mate tea w/cashew milk (blend cashews, vanilla, cinnamon, agave) & raw honey/agave & cinnamon- it's the closest thing to coffee that helped me to quit. Coffee was my weakness also- so I know how you feel. There is a recipe online for the nut milk- if you want I will send it to you.
I'm from Georgia and I've been raw for a couple of years now and have had my ups and downs but I always come back to raw- I love the way it makes me feel!

Yeah really that was just my negative response to Arnold Ehret's book from an emotional standpoint. I just found it lacking in completion. There's good logic in it though.
First there'sDr . J. Tilden's book on the cause of disease. Toxemia Explai...
The dates for 2010 are now on the website. Last year no one wanted to leave the island, so this year we are doing 10 day retreats!!
Come & play!!

What other book can you recommend Angus?...staying with those kinda ideas, living in alignment with nature, natural hygiene, fruit diets, fasting (or anyone else :).
You know, I'm aware that we made some groundbreaking discoveries in recent years ...
I'm not going to comment on climate change. But i will comment on carbon trading. Because they can produce such a consciousness of fear out of global warming - they are able to manipulate markets much more severely - and they seem to get away with...
