HI Thundera no I did not know that because I don't use the Vita Mix and I don't use the blender to "heat things" I think it is not a good healthy idea...I like the using the sun technique much better the Sun is the Ultimate Energy but thanks Thundera, Thundera, Thundera CATS! Ooops that is Thunder Cats....lol :o)

The vitamix boils after two minutes. Did you know that?

NICE! Thank you Paddy and Danny I should have thought of that and wish I told her that instead! :o)

Or you could heat the water up and then add it to all the other ingredients in the blender.

If she wanted to heat up her creation so bad & stay within raw limits. Tell her to put it in a mason jar outside facing the sun. Eco-Tea style.

Hmmmm ok thank you everyone I really appreciate your comments and advice! ALL ARE VERY GOOD THANK YOU! But yeah I tried to tell her through suggestion and in a "nice way" that I didn't think it was the "best way" or that "healthy" I tried to tell her in the nicest way possible, I was truly surprised that without warning she just HUNG UP ON ME! Then when I tried to call her back to apologize or see if we got disconnected she didn't even answer so I gave up...I think she was so enthusiastic about coming up with a new Raw Recipe and Drink I actually was very impressed too, I told her first WOW that sounds AMAZING how do you make it? I want to try it! But then when she told me she "heated it up in the blender" I was first truly concerned for her healthy and well being....also besides it can wear out the Blender to over blend to the point where it "heats up" just like a car if you revv it or over revv it it will damage and wear it out, same thing with a blender any kind of blender...there is more but yeah her blender probably did short circuit the PHONE HA HA THAT WAS FUNNY! But yeah I almost wish I didn't tell her but well you know I REALLY CARE ABOUT PEOPLE'S HEALTH and I was thinking man how many drinks did she make this way? How many did she drink this way? And I wonder if she noticed any bad effects from it...but yeah you try to be helpful and loving...

I think she could have said "Hey Bryan I think you are wrong, or hmmm maybe you might have a point I will Google.com it or research it...or even...hmmm that is new info I am not sure...or finally...hey you may have a point there or even Nah I think you are wrong...I just think there could have been some sort of communication or some reply rather than just hanging up on me because she didn't like what I had to say??? Then not even answering after I try to call back? SO STRANGE...well I tried!!! THANKS for your advice...but I am the type of person where if something I think is potentially "BAD" for someone I have to create awareness and let them know, the rest is up to them as always, and I really did try to tell them in a gentle loving, caring way...or so I thought!

Thanks again!

Yep. But its the way you said it.
Turn your energies around 360 when youre with that person.
If you notice you focus on others, focus on yourself.
If you notice you focus on yourself, focus on others.

So that would have turned the statement into one of questioning. Thinking of it quantumly i becomes you, and statement becomes a question. So instead of "i dont think its a good idea to do that', it becomes 'and you really think its good idea to over use your blender like that?' - and keep the energy of curiosity/bumfuzzlement rather than, 'and gosh.. (statement energy) you think thats good?! huh (statement enenrgy).' lol. Something to think about... Some of the people in our lives will react the way they did, by hanging up/running away, when they encounter the opposing I -> statement type situation.

I hope you know what i mean about perception/projection.
Do you know much about how projection works?
