Vitamix blenders run at about $NZ1400 here in New Zealand, so, no, I've never seen one and at that sort of price I'm not likely to.
Besides which I'm very happy with my venerable Kenwood Chef, and use a cheap Magic Bullet for quick one cup smooth...
Are you being ridiculous? Of course you are! Your mother thinks you need therapy? She might have a point there!
You're worried about whether your blender can be adequately washed after being sullied by non-organic produce? You are joking aren't y...
yeah...me too. I sometimes crave a bit of garlic either straight up or blended into a savory smoothie or soup etc.
could it be the selenium? garlic is rich in selenium.....hmmmmm......
Condiments are a potential problem if they disturb digestion, many of them are potent irritants. Some are addictive and so disturb our biochemistry and may subtly alter our minds. This can encourage over eating.
As they are not a substantial sour...
some people are not following a "guru", only their inner wisdom, which happens to fall in line with some of the ideas put out their by the outspoken folks of the raw food movement...
i agree that it's best to do what you feel and not judge others...
I don't have easy access to unshelled nuts from the tree so I never eat them. Many nuts/seeds packaged and bought at the store are rancid. I suppose if you can sprout em that would mean there is some life in em, but I find that they slow my digest...
I use Braggs Amino Acids on almost every salad I eat, and I eat about 2 a day. I love it mixed with apple cider vinegar, olive oil and crushed garlic. I never get tired of it and I enjoy my salads sooo much. My salad dressing is like a nutritional...
I eat a little fresh garlic and fresh spices at times too. Sometimes, I just don't crave them for the longest time. I look at them as a herb and once in a while thing now. In the beginning I had lot's and lot's of fresh garlic and fresh spices, I ...
For the record, I think garlic and onions are fine if you like them and they don't cause any stomach upset. Purists disagree, but I'm not a purist and very happy not to be.
I think the smartest approach is to listen to all the opinions (yes, they...
This is a little confusing - are you saying that nuts and oils don't qualify as raw? Cold pressed oils? Unshelled nuts from the trees?
Or is there another criteria apart from just raw?
I haven't yet worked out why some people have got it in for ...
i agree. small amounts of cooked food won't compromise all the good salad and raw food does so go for it!
ANYBODY CAN BENEFIT FROM SIMPLY INCREASING THE PORTION OF RAW FOOD IN THEIR DIET. and don't let people discourage you with complete puritan a...
I find a big diff between 99% and 100%, but there is no "wrong".
100% raw ripe fruits and greens. no nuts, no oils, no dehydrates, no condiments needed, no questions about whether it's raw or not...i feel like i felt like i should have when eatin...
Sorry, I didn't literally mean I was planning on using soy sauce - I was just using an example that I knew was on most dead food lists.
I've not seen Nama Shoyu here in New Zealand ( along with lots of raw foodists specialties like cacao, dulse, ...

ripped and beautiful :) it may just be me but being so stong, especially in that area, rises the idea in your head of power and that you will soon be sprouting wings.. :)
I've watched that. It is so weird that they have that show on. I also watched the old v's. They are a trip- with 80s hair and the spacesuit type outfits they wear. If you look at how small our planet is compared to others like Niburu- you can see ...
I'm on a computer in the library right now (as I was on Thursday), so any posts may be a little short. I was a little stressed by the reapplication information about the CAB because I had the same issues with finding paid work to fit around it bef...
Thanks for checking this out Vamp. It is truly amazing if you can be open minded enough to watch the video. People act like we haven't invented space travel. If you can accept that- then how hard would it be to accept jumping onto a planet that is...
starting to plan for this now ! right in the midlle of holidays !
i'm thinking about doing a week, but may extend with blended foods depending on how much detox I experience. Can't get the 'flu' just yet.
thanks....so grateful & dave is the best !...
Hi El-bo,
You're absolutely right; sodium is not the problem, but sodium chloride, and inorganic mineral salt which always causes water retention and raises blood pressure. We don't need any of that.
