Beautifully written Christine :) ... people also think I'm super crazy in more than one aspect, and I still don't talk about the raw food thing very openly. I'm hoping for a way to do so soon. It's strange how an innocent thing as raw foods can be...

I have lived in India. There are many Ayurvedic doctors and many Homeopathic doctors, but not many who would be naturopathic. Many non-medical professionals (like Yogis and others) may be naturopaths, but they may not be well-known or in the mains...

I live in Edmonton. Born and raised! I did live in Vancouver for a while and miss all of the fresh produce lining Commercial Drive. I'm eagerly waiting for all of the farmers markets in Edmonton to be up and running and maybe for Planet Organic's ...

Christine, I feel myself addicted to this community since four months. So much to learn, so much to ponder over, so many beautiful people with endless knowledge-base and resources...like an ocean of knowledge, wealth and purity....In what way has the quest been a struggle and in what way has it been a blessing?

Thank you for befriending me, Christine. How is your quest for health coming along? I want to travel as often as I please. However, I am not sure if I can live with few belongings. It is a very very tough undertaking to sustain minimally for me. I admire your ideology and your profile.

Love and Peace..
Krishna

Profile Information

About Me:
I've gone through many dietary changes in my lifetime. Vegetarianism, veganism, gluten-free, soy-free, etc. Aside from wanting to support animal rights and environmental movements, looking back, it's become clear that I've been on a quest for true health for most of my life. I've become increasingly aware that a vegan raw food diet is what I've been looking for all along and couldn't be happier about changing the way I eat and live.
How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
The fact that there's raw foodies in Edmonton is very exciting to me!

Right now, I'm most interested in:
- preferable diets for people with candida.
- anything related to raw food, nightshade foods, and rheumatoid arthritis.
- energy manipulation through forums like Reiki and Qi Gong
- educating myself on superfoods
- finding out if there are any post-secondary programs related to natural healing and raw foods
- ayurvedic approaches to nutrition and dietary guidelines based on the three doshas/constitutions
- dealing with further dietary restrictions within a raw food diet
Relationship Status:

Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
So far, zucchini pasta with fig and sundried tomato marinara (recipe from Living in the Raw Gourmet)
Interests (outside of Raw Food):
Currently, my interests mainly revolve around natural healing. I'm obsessed! Otherwise, I'm happiest when I'm in a plane, train or automobile. I aspire to have very few belongings, work minimally and travel as often as I please. I'm in love with San Francisco and wish I could live there.
Favorite Books or Authors:
Raw Family and 12 Steps to Raw Foods by Victoria Boutenko, Intuitive Eating by Humbart Santillo

Yes! I accept the GI2MR Oath.

How I ended up here...(my story)

I'm delighted to have come across such a wonderful community online! I've become accustomed to having people roll their eyes at me or call me a hippy when I express my beliefs, ideas, opinions, etc, so it's great to find an entire community of similar-minded individuals. I've already done my fair share of browsing around the site, and am grateful for the limitless inspiration that can be found. You people are impressive!

As for how I found myself here. I've been intrigued by the raw food lifest… Continue

Me walking between China and Dragon as I get ready to turn them out into a big pasture. They're my buds, they stay real close to me, one on each side, whenever I got out to where they are. It is very sweet! :)

It sounds like you are not eating enough fruit. If you eat more sweet fruit, your desire for candy and other processed foods that are sweet will go away.
