I've been an avid backpacker for years and have just returned from my first all Raw backpacking trip ever in the Emigrant Wilderness in the Sierra Nevada of California. It was quite an event as it was also the very first trip I've done where we ha...
Asafoetida: "It depends on the exact food--he's being approximate. And cooking opens the plant cell walls that are indigestible, so we can digest what's inside."

Asafoetida - I'd love to read more about studies of calories that lock people in a room. I'm not aware of any such studies specific to calories and people - please post links or resources. Thanks!

With regard to carnivores getting nutrients out of meat there are many reasons they are better at it than humans but I believe the biggest are ...
Maybe I unsubscribed from Fuhrman's newsletter too soon?...
Overall he says a lot of good things and let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater - it is fantastic to have M.D.s educate people that "Eating raw food is necessary for good health...
Cam, 80-10-10 must be working for you and that is fantastic, you are truly blessed. I have nothing against the program nor Doug.
All information received from outside of oneself is "distorted" as it can be "accurate" only for the one experiencing...
Cam, I'm sorry I struck a sensitive note for you but I am no less real than you, so lets do leave out what is not constructive, thank you.
I was quite shocked at what Doug had told her, it was not in alignment with what I've felt in his presence ...

A good friend was just visiting whom has been experiencing hair los...
I own a Blendtec and I own a Vita-Mix.
I love them both - either one would be a great investment. My Vita-mix is the green smoothie workhorse and blends frozen and solid stuff while the Blendtec makes most of our dressings, puddings and non-green...

How important is salt to the human diet? I never really added much salt to my meals (mainly pepper) before going raw but until recently I would of added himalayan salt to every raw salad over the past 9 months. I have been off it for around 2-3 we...
The smoke points are important for those people who are cooking with oils, but not those that are 100% raw foodists. Because I get many questions from those that are transtioning, I feel that it's important to answer some ot those questions also. ...

How'd you come up with the 6 weeks? I know that Lukas had an amazing experience at your center and looks amazing.
When are you gonna write a book?
After I tried (three days in a row), the Raw Spaghettis at GRO, (my favorite local place in Portland ME), I ran home and ordered the tool that would allow me to make raw pasta and so many other dishes! The blades are very sharp, so be careful if y...
