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.

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.
Hey Michele! We fast 8-10 people per year for 6 weeks and most of them have amazing experiences. Incidentally, though some people imagine there's a need to "work up" to a long fast like this, many are fasting this long for the first time; in fact,...
We dont want organic pasteurized, that is the same as conventional to us. Its been treated with something to kill it because that it what people do kill beautiful things it seems. Dead people.
Hi Jeff,
Every organism is completely self-healing. When sick or badly injured enough, every species will lie down and rest completely. Fasting itself has no curative power, but when we stop processing food (the single most energy expensive proce...
OMG
steamed? I needed a nutcracker to open them and it was really hard to get them opened. You think? My pristine lips touched something that was steamed>??
