Profile Information
- About Me:
- I started out on my rawfood journey in the summer of 2003. I kept on track with it for a good six months with amazing results, but teetered backward into my old ways that very winter. Picking myself back up again in 2004, I was back on track and raw again with the coming spring. But due to some life trauma issues that year, I crashed hard in the winter of 2004 and had dropped to about 10% raw, started eating cooked food again, and even some meat. Basically I had given up.
I first embarked on my rawfood journey 100% solo, and I think that's what tripped me up the most. I'm inspired and motivated to forge ahead again, but this time I am seeking the support of others in the rawfood community, both locally and abroad.
I NEED YOU, MY GOOD PEOPLE!
And I hope I can be of service to you as well. :)

what "groundbreaking discoveries" have been made in recent years, just asking ;)
I only use them if necessary, like if Im ordering at a restaurant, or if someone asks me about my diet.
yes people seems to have this tendency, I do too...
since I find no reason to believe in 'allergies' against 'natural' appropriate stuff, I would think it's more likely just the fact that pineapple if bought in store is pretty much always unripe. Not that it matters to the situation perhaps.
...but...
I write poems (mostly in Seussian rhyme), articles on health, and am working on a couple of books on health...
Nicolas have you ever had a pineapple that does not give symptoms. In my experience around these hoods where we are there are practically no ripe pineapples..or perhaps a few dunno
Yes ma'am. Resting as completely as possible with eyes closed; getting enough water; avoiding too much sun; avoiding toxic substances (personal care products, cleaning products, etc.)
I enjoy writing about the deepest darkest secrets of my heart, about things I dont want to share with anyone..or lack the guts to share. Love letters mostly, but not always. If I have a dream I want to remember Ill write it down.
I'm assuming "fasting properly" means RESTING while fasting?
Come on woman! No time like the present! We may now have one more spot for our March 20 to May 22 internship session; this is truly a life-changing program and an amazing bargain...
Thanks Priyam! You are very kind and generous with your appreciation, and I appreciate the specificity. I agree with you completely that fasting is generally very poorly understood, mostly feared, and almost always avoided.
Though someone once su...
GASP! I would never accuse you of such. Take that back right now.
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,...

Dr. Graham makes a great argument (like I said, I naturally found myself gravitating towards the lifestyle he promoted in his book ) but I know that if I embarked on 80/10/10 any earlier in my journey, I would have run into problems.... just remember to be patient and give yourself time, if you need it. :)
1. Ridicule
2. Violent Opposition
3. Acceptance
I think we are all searching for something. Nobody has all of the answers...and even if someone did, would we believe him/her?
I think many would agree that the raw food lifestyle needs more science to back it up. Cuz otherwise we all get shut down pretty easily. Personal testimonials are not enough. We need actual human studies done by well-known, respected health professionals....or a larger movement to make some ruckus. Let's work on that.
Nice to meet you.
