Loren, as an example, how many and how long fasts in such surroundings as you are offering is enough to totally clean out a person coming directly from SAD eating? I know there are no exact numbers...

Hi Isabel,
I wish it were that fast and easy, and I wish I could give you a formula. Unfortunately, how long it takes each person to detox depends much less on someone's age, but rather on the intersection between the level of toxicity of the body and the level of vitality of the individual. What I can tell you is that one 6 week fast puts everyone in a completely different body than they started; It's truly amazing and incredibly powerful and is enough to eliminate almost every "disease"...though getting to be symptom free and getting to the highest levels of health and vitality are two different things.
Six weeks fasting, followed by one year of excellent diet and lifestyle choices, then additional fasts of 21 days or more a couple of times would take virtually anyone to the highest state of health and balance they've ever experienced.
Hi Isabel! The internship program includes 4 weeks as a guest (21 days fasting and 7 days refeeding) plus five more weeks living and learning with the staff and I. There's lots of time with me as the goal is to teach the interns how to meet all of their body's needs, as well as to actually give them the experience of doing it.
The program runs US$3k,and for most of our interns has been one of the most powerful things they've ever done. If it feels comfortable for both you and us, you will be invited to stay here on a work-trade basis, and later if there's an opening, as paid staff. Incidentally, we have big plans to expand the community, and so I think the possibilities are wide open.
Well, I never wasted away and actually feel that some of my deficiencies from poor digestion are turning around. But while I am getting the calories and nutrients I need, I sure do need to eat a lot! I often think of animals, like goats or rabbits...
Victoria Boutenko is our very special guest for November on The Raw Food Radio Show.

Mr Monarch has TWO important questions for Victoria... Are you 100% Raw and if so, why do you carry extra weight?
YEP! ...
Many people out there are becoming vegans, raw foodists, and vegetarians under the guise that it is healthier for them. Is it really healthier to being vegan though and are vegans/vegetarians being thrown the ookie doke by large commercial interes...
You could make an avocado chocolate (or carob) mousse but sweeten it with stevia, so you'll only be getting the fat and not the sugar.
Or you could make a green smoothie (or a regular, non-fat smoothie) and freeze it into sorbet:-)
Cool! :) Yeah we had a nasty pile of compost, I'd work it into the soil with my dad when he planted the veggies
LOL! Oh yeah the CA police! Making sure Columbia doesn't get too funky!
Have you tried hicheya Persimmons?
Be sure they are super-mushy ripe.
Just cut the top off and spoon out the lusciousness.
Too, banana icecream with frozen bananas , maybe a lil agave nektar and a nice caremelly sauce made by blending dates and w...
The diet is mostly cultured, raw veggies and non-starchy veggies. The remaining 20% consists of either a protein or a starch (but never eaten together).
It's strict in many ways. The goal of the diet is to not feed yeast in the colon, and to heal...
thanks! I didn't know that. I grow mungs, but they never get past the 3/4" stage. I'm going to experiment with growing them as you do.....sounds like a great variation!
