Profile Information

About Me:
I am about 97% raw. Why 97%? Because I sometimes have a little maple syrup or tamari which are not raw. Also I'm not vegan as I eat raw honey and bee pollen on a regular basis. I have managed to get rid of a condition called Crohn's by giving up my medication and switching to a raw food lifestyle. I'm gay (as in queer, at all times; as in joyous, most of the time), I'm a musician, a Holistic and Indian Head Massage therapist and I teach French. I'm not religious at all but I'm spiritual.


Je parle français

Hablo un poco español pero no bastante y me gustaría mucho practicar con alguien

Ich verstehe Deutsch ziemlich gut (ein teil meiner Familie kommt aus Berlin und Baden Württemberg) aber ich kann es leider nur radebrechen...
Relationship Status:
Single
Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
I mostly eat fruits and delicate green leaves of all kinds (lamb's lettuce, oak leaf, baby spinach etc). But I also love things like mashed avocado with fresh mint, chopped red chili pepper and a pinch of pink himalayan salt. Celery. Cucumber. Hempseed butter. Raw white almond butter. Okra. Fresh herbs (mint, basil, tarragon, parsley...), Cedar nuts. Bee pollen. Crystal Manna. Grated celeriac salad. Dandelion salad. Daikon. Young coconuts. Lucuma. My homemade banana/raspberry/vanilla and banana/raw cacao/cinnamon ice-creams. Raw chocolate bars by Raw Living, The Raw Chocolate Company and Conscious Chocolate.
All FRUITS, but my faves are (in no particular order): cherries, dried mulberries, seeded Muscat grapes, fresh and dried pomegranate, durian, hass avocadoes, olives, pineapple, peaches & nectarines, mirabelles, cherimoya, figs, dried jackfruit, charentais melon, damson plums, wild forest strawberries and last but not least... WILD EUROPEAN BLUEBERRIES!! [Vaccinium myrtillus] (aka 'bilberries' in England or 'myrtille' in France): They're small but their colour and their flavour are SO intense that they make your teeth blue, your tongue purple and your heart sing!!
Interests (outside of Raw Food):
(in no particular order) - music (alternative, indie, new wave, no wave, italo electro disco, electro, jazz, tech, hip hop, reggae, dub, tango argentino, arabic, ethiopian groove and jazz, contemporary...) composing music, higher vibrations, consciouness shifts, walking, taking photos, reading, writing songs, dancing, deejaying, theatre, cinema, digital arts, San Francisco, gay spirituality, languages, flowers, sunbathing, rain, countercultures, psychedelic substances, massage therapies, hippies, documentaries, unlearning authority sponsored indoctrination (school, "the news", "history" books, etc), freedom of speech! ...
Favorite Books or Authors:

Favorite Quote:
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. (A. Schopenhauer)

Raw is a journey not a destination. When being 100% raw becomes the goal, we are missing the point. Raw is there to enable us to live our lives more fully, to free up energy to enjoy ourselves, not to become another set of rules to be entrapped by. (K. Magic Wood)

And, my new favourite quote which is fabulous and that I've nicked from my good friend Saphrose Rouge: We are all born naked, all the rest is drag (Ru Paul)

Hi there. Do you think that anyone suffering from Chrohn's disease can beat it by going raw?

Cheers,

Clément

Lucky you! My Mum cooked cabbage. I don't like the smell of it cooked. I've only had juniper berries raw, so I don't know the difference. I let my raw kraut culture from 2 to 7 days depending on the weather or just how long it takes to taste right.
The cedar nuts sound good. I'll keep an eye out for them.
You're welcome. You have a nice day too :)

Hi Reuben,

I saw your entries on the UC discussion. I had colitis as a teen, ulcers in my twenties and more, I'm very familiar with inflammation now, so nice having raw food to help heal these things :) What are cedar nuts? Are they like juniper berries? I put them in with cabbage and seaweed when making raw vegekraut. Your mint guacamole sounds great!

Hablo un poco español tambien. You can practice some spanish with us. There's a hispanofilo group here started by Raw Caribeña.

Good night.
