The Carob Tree
The carob tree is a member of the legume (pea) family and it grows in Mediterranean areas. It favours arid conditions which are naturally alien to fungus and pests so little or no chemical sprays are needed in its cultivation. It is a large tree and grows to 15m in 50 years. It produces no fruit for the first 15 years of its life, but will fruit well into its old age. A large tree can produc ... read more Wheatgrass 19 y

Wheatgrass and Wheatgrass Juice - - Dietary and Medicinal Benefits
Body Cleanser:
Wheatgrass is a powerful cleanser and may start an immediate reaction with toxins and mucus in the stomach and thus may cause nausea. Chlorophyll will bring toxins stored away in cells or fatty tissues into the bloodstream. Start with a 1-ounce serving and work up. Drink on an empty stomach. Keep refrigerated and drink the same day.
Body Builder:
Wheatgrass juice is very high in enzymes and chlorophyll. It contains up to 70% chlorophyll, which is an important body builder. ... read more Beyond RAW 19 y
I have become aware of many things on my "Raw Path".. This article is here to share with you some of the non-food related changes I have made in my lifestyle that complement my diet related path to optimize my health, energy and well-being.
RAW Lifestyle Changes - Beyond just the food.
by John Kohler (Earth Day 2001)
When I first went raw, I used all the ”standard” products- i.e.: toiletries (aquafresh toothpaste, paul mitchell shampoo, ivory soap, edge shaving gel, etc.). I had no idea how bad these products were for my health!
When becoming raw, and started to detox my body, I found that many of these products contain some ”nasty” ingredients, that I believe were not good for my system.. After all I was suppose to be ”de-toxifying”.. and without other lifestyle changes, I would ”re-toxify” myself....

Why Raw Food?
by Arnold (originally appeared on Arnold’sWay.Com)
As part of the web site, one question asked of me was “Why Raw food?” Which to me is almost like saying, why breath, why live, why be? There is almost no choice in the matter. It does not make sense to heat food from the earth, with all its richness, and then destroy it by processing. We being man, the most so called advanced of all living creatures the ones with the largest brain, have the least sense when it comes to dietary choice. No other animal destroys their food before eating it. I ... read more Microwaving Hazards 19 y

The Hazards of
Microwaving Your Food
by Don Bennett, DAS
Recent research shows that food cooked in a microwave oven suffers severe molecular damage. When eaten, it causes abnormal changes in human blood, and in the immune system. Not surprisingly, the public has seen very little information on these significant health dangers... Microwave ovens are big business.
I remember when no one I knew had a microwave. And now these same people wonder how they ever got along without one. A better question is: How will you ”get along” with one?

The Natural Diet Primer

The ”raw food diet”, sometimes referred to as a ”living foods diet”, has many proponents around the world. This way of eating appeals to those who want to be as healthy as possible.
Organic, natural plant foods make up this diet. Some advocate 100 percent raw foods, others say a high percentage of raw foods in your diet, while not the optimum, is still beneficial (any cooked food that is consumed is plant-based).
Cooking food does the following:
• Proteins coagulate and are denatured damaging essential ... read more Raw Foods 19 y

You may have thought that discovering raw food was the answer to all your questions about how to become truly healthy. However, if you’ve done any reading at all on the subject, you will no doubt have noticed that the raw world is filled with confusing and conflicting information. When there are so many different opinions, philosophies and approaches, it can be difficult to choose a path to follow.
The extent of confusion in the general field of human health originates from the idea that no set of consistent health truths is ... read more Proper Food Combining 19 y

TROPHOLOGY - THE SCIENCE OF FOOD COMBINING
Daniel Reid
”It is an established scientific fact in Western medicine that in order to initiate efficient digestion of any concentrated animal protein, the stomach must secrete pepsin. But it is also a well-known fact that pepsin can function only in a highly acidic medium, which must be maintained for several hours for complete digestion of proteins.
It is an equally well established fact of science that when we chew a piece of bread or potato or any other carbohydrate/starch, ptyalin and other alkaline ju ... read more Raw "online" Radio 19 y

"It may be because I'm a bit of an epicurean myself. I love food and, since I seem to be endowed with a few culinary talents, I never get bored. I like to vary my diet and introduce new fruits, new nuts, new vegetables and new recipes. And I encourage you to do the same for two things. First being bored isn't fun. Second, it might not be healthy either."

Avoiding Boredom and Nutritional
Deficiencies on a Raw Diet
By Frederic Patenaude
”A Someone’s boring me. I think it’s me.”
Dylan Thomas (1914-1953)
The scene looks like this: you’re hungry, you’re alone, and you’re going to eat another meal of romaine lettuce, tomatoes and avocados. And you’re bored. And these avocados are starting to be less interesting than ever. And it’s raining outside, and cold, and damp. And you’re wondering, is the fun of eating raw gone? Will I be able to eat like that forever? Can this really be healthy? ... read more Journey To "RAWDOM" 19 y
"It's been my experience that my sense of vision has increased literally and figuratively since going raw. Before raw I didn't envisage anything of any consequence regarding my health, or my relationship with food. To be honest, I didn't even know there was anything to be thought on the subject you just eat and get on with life, don't you? So I thought."

The Journey to Rawdom: Vision
By Karen Knowler
When you first came across the concept of raw eating, do you remember what thoughts first crossed your mind or how you felt? Did you try to imagine how you would look or feel if you began it yourself? Or did your body and mind become all-consumed by your excitement as your mind filled with visions of an internal and external paradise? A life lived with excitement and enthusiasm and the energy to pull it all off? Or, perhaps, after months or years of ill health, you simply imagined getting well again, of feeli ... read more |
