I love nature and I feel protective of its beauty.
I started with raw foods almost 2 years ago, totally inspired by a
lecture from Victoria Boutenko. The most amazing thing about eating raw is that the results you get stimulate you even further, in a very natural progression, so that you don't even care about cooked food anymore.
How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)

Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
Pretty much all the fruits in their wholesome state, but I do have a special attraction to figs, mangos, guavas, tomatoes, avocados, cucumbers, guacamole, parsley, dill, cilantro, basil, young coconut water. And it still feels quite unfair to mention the names of just a few...

Oh Figseed, there is no secret to the backbend! I was born a contortionist, so I just got lucky! And thank you for the compliments, but as of yet, I know of no artist I have inspired. = )
yeah i only lived in calgary for 10 months, BC is much nicer lol, miraculously im still raw and still alive, ive been on a mostly fresh juice and smoothy diet for a while always switching it up a little though, what are you doing in Vancouver? got big plans and ambitions to chase? keep in touch :)
I go by Experience..as i said 90% of the stuff people make like flax crackers are sick to me, i make very thin crisps or wraps and i feel they balance the cold wet qualities of most raw foods. I have learned through experience not to trust most of the modern raw teachers about health -in the long run. Alot of people do well in the cleansing cycle but do not know how to build manna!
Ayurveda and chinese 5 elements has helped me enormously to understand the flaws and challenges that raw foodies get..(this is not to say that i agree with most conservatives in those fields on Raw foods!)
Chaunces are spice infusions in oil - a bit more complex. Rice is done all over the raw scene...I like mine with parsnips, a little coco oil and a pinch of saffron powder and salt. Potatoes are hard. I usually stick to thin sliced soft veggies in my coconut curries...hopefully i can get this book out this year.
A friend of mine has had issues with her parents since childhood, she tried everything including numerous counseling sessions, hypnosis etc etc. She then did a two day intensive program called ‘the breakthrough experience’ and now she’s a changed ...
I think most people want to do this because they need attention, not because it really turns them on... maybe different for the people watching? personally don't want any more secreted bodily fluids to avoid in the city.. isn't there enough piss e...
Full disclosure - I work as a therapist.
Yes, it helps.
But you should know that the value of it can't be described by the speed of the healing process or whether you're looking or seeming perfect. Therapy is about coming to terms and coming back...
I always used to get sick on foods from restaurants, but the same meal I prepared at home wouldn't make me sick.... restaurants tend to drown foods in butter and oils, you've probably been eating less of those since going on those diet.
Finally reconciled with my mother two years before she split the scene at the age of 95. Load off my mind.
She was tough, tough, tough, tough.
Jewish mother nagging shit, non-fucking-stop. Always fresh to her, always Hell to me.
Wow that's got to be tough. I think I would set myself on fire if I had to live with or near either one of my parents. I'm going to try to keep distance from them & keep a diary. Thank you for the support RGG
It hasn't faded any yet, but I've only heard of problems with some of the phosphorus inks and ours don't have any in. But who knows, the approved UV inks have only been out a few years and they're more expensive so not a lot of people take the opt...
Yeah, he doesn't look like the healthiest 62 year old. Well, at least he seems to look healthy at a glance, but he looks a bit aged for 62, and he seemed to have a stiff jaw or something going on there.
And those doctors are the typical clueless ...
