Questions & Answers About Raw Food

Q1) Why do people need to eat raw food?

Due to our ever increasing levels of stress and diet of nutritionally deficient foods - a result of factory processing and intensive industrial farming which leaves the soil exhausted - in today's increasingly heavily polluted world, our live-rs are placed under greater stress and are asked to work harder and harder - the state of the liver's health can really affect the function of the immune system leading to a huge list of complaints from daily fatigue; digestive complaints; headaches; insomnia; aches and pains to hormonal imbalances to name but a few....and obesity which has become the largest health problem of society today.

If we liken the human body to a garden and want to avoid any imbalances or diseases, then it is vital to keep the soil as healthy and nutrient rich as possible.

Remember the most important thing in life is good health. As Hippocrates the famous Greek philosopher counselled:-

 "Let Food be thy Medicine."

Raw food contain enzymes – and enzymes are energy and life-force! Enzymes help you digest your food & clean the body.  Enzymes are the builders of life itself!

Q2) Why Organic?

Organic vegetables and fruit are pesticide & chemical free but may be grown in exhausted & mineral deficient  soils. It is better to eat locally grown organic vegetables if you can. Then at least the vegetables are not loosing any of their energy whilst being transported across the globe. They are fresh and bursting with energy. When vegetables, fruit and plants are not a wild strain they loose a certain amount of energy, or their signature, in many ways. Plants that have been genetically modified loose even more of an energetic strength or signature.

Weeds are some of the most potent and healthy forms of vegetation we can introduce into our diet. We need to look in our gardens and near by green areas and choose the wild growing plants growing around us. Nettles for example, are real power houses and just great for increasing your iron levels! They grow in abundance and if you go on to You Tube you can learn more about our free wild weeds which will help to cure any imbalance in the body.

Most farmers have come to believe or have been forced the need & come to depend on chemical fertilizers and spray the crops with harmful chemicals to grow the vast amount of food needed. These harmful chemicals have been proven and linked to abnormal functioning in the human brain as well as many other diseases. Not forgetting to mention the effects of GMO produce too on our health. See these links:
Food Freedom
GMO food information 

Our soil has become depleted in nutrients by a considerable amount. The top soil has been eroded in most parts of the world and this is paramount when growing vegetation for a healthy body. True nutrition is partly about understanding the benefits of the quality of top soil to a healthy body. If you go on to You tube and listen to Paul Check Nutrition:The Dirt Facts you will learn that our nutrition is dependent on top soil~minerals.

With health, minerals are part of the equation as already mentioned. We have become so mineral deficient and hence the acidity related imbalances in our body. See http://youtu.be/X3xc4dgCFGQ

Q3) What does cooking do to food?

Cooking destroys up to 90% of these enzymes. Cooked food does not contain live enzymes and so ‘takes’ enzymes from your body to digest the food.  Most people nowadays lack these enzymes so their ``bank`` is in the ``red`` and this leads to numerous health problems.

A leading American nutritionist, Dr Edward Howell, suggested that the average American at the age of 40 who is eating processed foods, has only about 30% of their enzymes left!

We also know that not only are enzymes destroyed, but some vitamins and many minerals are affected by cooking our foods for too long or at too high a temperature. Up to 90% of the Vitamin Bs are destroyed when you cook your food.

Additionally, some of the 8 essential amino acids, which comprise protein, are destroyed by cooking. Proteins are "denatured" by this intense a heat and often become much harder to digest... 50% of protein is destroyed when foods are cooked.

Q4) Does raw food help to cleanse our bodies?

Oh yes!  Because raw food has the live enzymes - I like to refer to them as the road sweepers as they help to break down the food into their natural components more easily and the nutrients are made more available to the body such as the minerals magnesium and potassium which help to push out the toxins/acidity within every cell in our bodies. This then helps to bring our body back into balance ...creating a more alkaline state and therefore the body begins to heal. These road sweepers also get into every nook and cranny in the body. Into the cells and around the cells too. De-gunking the body of mucus or dampness on a cellular level. Enzymes are essential to maintenance of your wellbeing and the more enzyme rich live food you add to your plate the healthier you will be. Even if you are adding 50% raw food to your plate of cooked healthy food this will help your digestion and cleansing pathways.

When we use alkaloid highs like caffeine, cannibis, & cocaine to mimic the feelings of the body being in a natural alkaline state. These substances can also mimic other chemicals, that our body lacks or has become deficient in, such as hormone like substances called prostaglandins. And these addictions or addictions of any kind also help to numb emotional pain .It is a well known fact that negative emotions can create mucus around the cell membrane ~ so this is also regarded as a kind of ‘toxicity’ on a spiritual level affecting the physiological functioning of our being-ness. The cells in or body can become ‘gunked’ up with toxic/negative emotions. This gunk causes the cell to become imbalanced and prevent it from connecting to the energetic field of the universe. Click here for more information on connecting to the Cosmos. Unresolved energetic emotions can be passed down through generations too and this is where working with the mind, body & spirit becomes quite relevant when advising someone on their wellbeing.

In Chinese Medicine the mucus is referred to as dampness. And there are various forms of dampness….such damp heat or cold dampness creating different symptoms/conditions within a body constitution. And over the years the dampness/mucus can solidify creating calcification around the cell membrane creating all sorts of hardened stone type conditions from hardening of the arteries to kidney stones etc.

When there is excessive mucus in the body for long periods of time this type of environment can harbor all sorts of things your body doesn’t want like parasites and more. Again keeping the ‘soil’ healthy is very important to our wellbeing. ~ see Dr Hulda Clarke's book.

It is also important to remember that are body is mainly composed of water and water has memory, so our thoughts can have a great affect on the chemistry of our body and cells. Just think about DrEmoto’s research on this . See this link http://youtu.be/zpnlCo5APrE

Q5) Can raw food help conditions such as arthritis, skin conditions, digestive problems etc?

Yes. Again the imbalances of the body are caused by too much acidity in the body and lack of available enzymes and lack of minerals and so on.  The enzymes not only digest the food but they also detox the body like cleaning up the liver and protect the body from tumours. Enzymes are likened to the  ``road sweepers`` of our body clearing up all the left over debris & mucus. See acid versus an alkaline foods http://youtu.be/X3xc4dgCFGQ

In 1930 Dr Paul Kouchakoff conducted research to compare the effects of cooked food versus raw food. He discovered that Digestive Leokocytosis occurred only when cooked or processed food was eaten without any raw food. He found there was no immune response when we eat 50% of our food in it's natural, unheated, unprocessed state. So if you have a meal with 50% cooked unprocessed food and up to 50% raw you will prevent this from occurring in the body.

Because of Digestive Leukocytosis, eating all cooked, especially processed food keeps our immune system in a constant state of emergency. There is an immediate rise in white blood cells, by about 300%!

Even what we call allergies are just our over burdened immune system literally going into confusion when a new irritant is encountered. This irritant can be physiological or emotionally linked ~ Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is the study of the interaction between psychological processes and the nervous and immune systems of the human body.  A great book to read on this is Cleanse and Purify Thyself by Dr Anderson.

Another immune system response to cooked food is mucus & water retention. Our bodies create mucus& water to protect the cells from coming into contact with the over amount of cooked or processed food. But it can also indicate there is a lack of enzymes and minerals in the body, and too much stress within the body too leading to over acididty.

This mucus or gunk builds up in our intestines – "Mucoid Plaque" – which reduces the amount of nutrients that the intestines can absorb especially Vit B12 – click here to see images of "Mucoid Plaque" on Google. And the article written on Cleasning about how to rebalance your cells.

Q6) When are you likely to feel any benefits from eating raw food?

Almost immediately!  Do you notice when you have had a lot of  cooked food and especially processed food, there is a tendency to feel tired or sluggish?  This is because the body has to go into its own ``bank`` of enzymes to digest the food and instead of these enzymes getting on with their normal jobs as mentioned in question 4, these enzymes also leave the body with that cooked food so leaving that ``bank`` of ours more depleted than before. So when you eat live raw food like sprouts and organic vegetables and fruit, which are life generating  and means they can transfer their vital energy to you! You can feel an immediate burst of energy ~ live food with live enzymes which make you feel ALIVE! See Kirlian photo below.

I think when I have spoken to most people about after when drinking a green juice they feel a thatzing! It’s like taking a magic pill that makes you feel happy and more energetic.

As I mentioned before there is usually a change almost immediately within days of eating raw live, uncooked, unprocessed food! But it can take time to rebalance our body, especially if we have been out of balance for years. People have experienced complete reversal of their poor health on the raw live food diet. But it is important to remember that it is how it is presented to the body and what type of raw food it is. Also another important fact is food combining. Not just any raw food diet is going to make someone healthier. Being a raw foodie is just a label and does not equal health!  A great book to read and see live blood analysis of blood cells before and after is Rainbow Green Live-Food Cuisine by Gabriel Cousens

Q7) Can you tell me more about sprouts?

I LOVE sprouts! They are one of natures wonder foods~ in fact they almost speak to your body with their ‘magickal’  natures’ ~ vibration!  When I eat sprouts I can honestly say I feel a lift in my energy because of that zap of life they give to me at that very moment ~ enzymes and alive with ions! If you ever see a Kirlian photo you will see what I’m talking about here. They are alive and still growing. If you look at the book called The Sunfood Diet Success System by David Wolfe you will see some fabulous Kirlian photos of live raw foods.

And they can be prepared in so many ways from raw hummus with chick peas, to just munching on freshly sprouted mung beans on their own. One of my favourite recipes is to mix lentil sprouts with soaked wild rice, mashed avocado, olive oil, fresh ginger & garlic & a hint of raw cider vinegar~ absolutely life~ force~ generating, tasty and satisfying ~ yum!

They are truly one of the very best foods on this planet! Sprouts are live plant foods that are biogenetic & life generating, which means they can transfer their vital force energy to you. They are packed with plant compounds which aid digestion, contribute to cellular organisation & are alkaline forming.

Sprouts can be grown in your kitchen from soaked beans, lentils, grains, seeds & some nuts, like almonds in any season. These provide you with a fresh organic produce when no other garden is available. They are easy to grow, some in as little as 2 days. Seeds for sprouting can be stored for long periods of time & can produce many times their weight in fresh produce that is full of vitamins, minerals, & complete proteins. They can be eaten alone, in salads, with grains, gently steamed with veggies as a snack, or sprinkled over soup. Everyone should store organic sprouting seeds & use sprouts in their daily diet. I use sprouting hemp bags~ a great book to read on Sprouting is Sproutmans Kitchen Garden Cookbook by Steve Meyerowitz.

Benefits of sprouting:-

• Nutrition sprouts are baby plants in their prime. At this stage of their growth, they have a greater concentration of proteins, vitamins & minerals, enzymes, RNA, DNA, bioflavanoids, T- cells, etc than at any other point in the plant's life-even when compared with the mature vegetable!
• Digestibility Because sprouts are baby plants, their delicate cell walls release live nourishment easily. Their nutrients exist in elemental form & the abundance of enzymes make them easy to digest even for those with weak digestion
• Versatility More varieties of salad greens than on your supermarket shelves…..including buckwheat lettuce, baby sunflower, French onion, garlic chive, Chinese cabbage, purple turnip, curly kale, daikon radish, crimson clover, golden alfalfa & more…your salads will never be boring again!

Q8) Is this why you feel more satisfied after eating raw food?

Yes. Also you will eventually notice you need to eat less as you eat more raw food over a period of time.  The nutrients are made more available to the body & the energy lasts longer so there are not as many dips in energy (low blood sugar).  You will notice that when you eat cooked processed foods the need to eat again is not long after your last bite? This is because only a very little amount of nutrients are actually absorbed from these enzyme ~ lacking foods and which as mentioned before has a tendency to cause mucus in the body, especially the colon which causes malabsorption.

But the simple fact is that our body, the cells only really recognize natural products~ nature! So when we tamper with nature with over heating, processing, additives etc we create a toxin which is not recognized by the cells. When the cell membrane, which is covered with receptor sites, receives this processed food it causes confusion at the point of contact. When there is constant repetitive intake of processed foods the receptor sites can become so confused they stop working the right way and the body ends up with disease. Such a classic example which is becoming such a common problem of today amongst the younger generation and adults is obesity with insulin problems ~ like X syndrome also known as insulin resistance syndrome

Q9) Can I expect to loose weight eating raw food?

Yes.  The more raw food you eat the more weight you can loose and quicker. The strangest thing is although people loose weight, the body is also becoming more satisfied with an abundance of natural available nutrients for the very first time in a while. Especially when it is given to the body in liquid form! And that’s why green smoothies are a great way to start off the day! ~ see ‘Green smoothies’ by Victoria Boutenko.

I have spoken to many people and heard folks say they can‘t digest raw food. But if we present it to the body in the correct way it will be a lot easier for the nutrients to be absorbed. That’s why these green smoothies or juices are often just a great way to get started!

My day begins with a super Suziesmoothie on most mornings. I gave myself this nickname because this is the main part of my daily regime. My body likes raw smoothies with an abundance of superfoods. My body feels more balanced and nourished. And it maintains my energy and blood sugar levels through out the morning. I also had great inspiration from David Avocado Wolfe and his book on Superfoods .

It does help to have some advice from a qualified and experienced Nutritionist or Naturopath as some people need to change the energetic quality of the raw food gradually & making it easier to digest in the colder weather, especially if they suffer from a weakened digestive system, &depending on your genetic constitution and surrounding climate can all have an effect on your raw food tolerance!  In Chinese Medicine it is a well known fact that certain foods have energetic qualities ranging from cold, moderate to warm or hot. 

Also further advice may be beneficial to your wellbeing such as information on enzymes, hydrochloric acid, herbs, supplements, amino acids, superfoods ,lab tests, cleansing techniques- see article on cleansing, & so forth.

Q10) Will it help constipation?

Yes. Almost immediately you will notice an increase in bowel movements due to the increase in live enzymes, the increase in fibre and a better balanced blood sugar level and the body just likes natural food and sticking close to nature!

For example one of the greatest helpers from raw vegetables is oxalic acid rich plants like spinach. If spinach is cooked the oxalic acid will be toxic to our bodies blocking the calcium receptor sites and causing kidney stones if eaten in large quantities but eating a certain amount of raw organic oxalic acid is beneficial to the maintenance of the peristalsis & balance in our digestive system.

Q11) Is it true it can make you feel happier?

Yes. It is a well known fact that what you eat can affect your moods. You ‘ve heard the saying ‘you are what you eat  ~ well it's also about ‘what you absorb & assimilate’.

So if we ingest less toxins from our foods ~ you will see from the above answers why organic, GMO free, raw live food is not toxic to the body ~ then our cells will be able to ``breathe``. For example, when we eat animal flesh foods – where the animals are fed on foods contaminated with pesticides & injected with hormones and antibiotics, then this cocktail of chemicals will reach our blood stream and start to affect our own hormones in a huge way!

Each cell in our body has a receptor site which receive the messages from what I call the ``messengers`` i.e. hormones and other chemicals called neurotransmitters eg serotonin ~ which makes you feel happy, calm & relaxed and lack of this leads to restlessness, depression, stress and great cravings for carbohydrates.

 A good analogy I like to use is that these messengers are like ``postmen`` trying to get their letters with messages into the post boxes (receptor sites). When these receptor sites or post boxes are ``gunked up`` with toxins they become sluggish and the letters with the messages for our cells are not getting into the post boxes as quickly or efficiently as they should  and this can lead to all sorts of emotional & physiological imbalances from mood swings, ongoing depression, fatigue and so on…

Another example of foods affecting our mood are sugary things, like fizzy drinks , especially made with man - made artificial sweeteners, chocolate & processed foods (containing loads of sugar & table salt). These really affect our blood sugar levels big time! Making our blood sugar rise really quickly and then dropping just as quickly as it has risen. This peak & trough pattern is what creates our fluctuating moods – causing mood swings and low energy. This usually leads to cravings or binging of even more pick me up type foods ranging from more sweet foods or foods &drinks containing caffeine.

It is one of the most important aspects of the body's equilibrium or homoestasis to have a balanced blood sugar level!

A balanced blood sugar is the hub to the equilibrium of our entire hormonal system.

If our blood sugar levels are not brought back to balance, then this can lead to many, many other hormonal imbalances in the body such as hypothyroidism, PMT and many other hormonal related symptoms.

So take note ~ that all those little gremlin of cravings or binging can really be caused by low serotonin levels and erratic blood sugar levels ~ a real chemical imbalance going on in the body. You can really see what a vicious cycle this creates and I am sure a lot of people will recognize these gremlins.

It is also interesting to note that blood sugar levels may be affected by other ‘foods’ other than sugar or high glycaemic loading foods. If you are unable to digest a food or have an allergy to something then this can affect the insulin receptor site e.g. pasteurized homogonised cows milk can block the insulin receptor site leading to an imbalanced blood sugar level. I have seen quite a few patients in the past with irregular blood sugar levels and when they have come off the cows milk their blood sugar levels go back to being normal. It can take up to 8 weeks for the blood sugars to be rebalanced with in the cells.

Hypoglycaemia or low blood sugar is the opposite end of the spectrum to diabetes.  It is not so easily identified and not even recognised in some medical circles. Although it is a main cause of numerous symptoms and can prove to be very debilitating for many people.

Most people are not aware they have a tendency or actually experience hypoglycaemia, low blood sugar.  You may feel like you are falling apart, overwhelmed with numerous, seemingly unconnected symptoms.  These can be identified and addressed very easily with patience, dedication and the correct naturopathic approaches.  It is estimated that 70% - 80% of the western world now exhibit a tendency to hypoglycaemia.  Research has shown that 75% of hyperactive children with learning problems have hypoglycaemia.

Medical blood tests do not always identify the problem conclusively, if at all. Usually the suggestion of low blood sugar indicated for certain symptoms is dismissed completely.  Perhaps due to the fact that it is difficult to conclusively prove from one test. It is usually required to take the test over a 24hour period.

It has become more accepted that processed food does indeed affect our receptor sites and these processed foods are referred to as excitotoxinsi.e the person who eats lots of junk food will become spaced out , feeling jittery and ungrounded over a period of time or even eating one meal can do this to a person who is not used to eating processed foods. Example of excitotoxins are :-

• MSG
• Vegetable yeast flakes
• Some artificial additives

See:-
http://youtu.be/tTSvlGniHok


A fantastic book that I can recommend is called Brain Allergies :ThePsychonutrient and Magnetic Connections by William Philpott ~  He explains how allergies can affect different organs and hormone sites.

When we eat foods that have been tampered with by man we are creating moods that really make us less likely to be able to cope with just simple day to day stress!

Q12) About Vit B12, Vit D and the Raw Vegan Diet

Because most Vit B12 rich plant whole foods like the green algaes and seaweed etc have analogues which block the Vit B12 receptor sites on the cell membrane and prevent the absorption of Vit B12 raw vegans really do need extra help with Vit B12 supplementation.

And even though some non raw foods like Nutritional Yeast Flakes are often recommended and used in the raw culinary world it does contain unhealthy excito~toxins ~which can really confuse the receptor sites on the cell wall membrane especially if taken on a regular basis.

B12 supplementation is really needed in anyone's diet these days but as I have already mentioned more so in a raw vegan diet.  So it is therefore important to listen to the body’s wisdom, as the body will often start to crave the foods that are full of available easily absorbed Vit B12 which are mainly sourced from animal produce.

People have genetic differences to what they can assimilate and some people find they are ok on a vegan diet and use supplements and some people after being on a vegan or a vegan raw diet find they require some form of animal produce like fish or dairy after a period of 5 years or more. It is difficult to make such a transition for some people because of their strong beliefs but in the end it is wisdom that is the most important thing for your health.

For this reason foods like raw, organic dairy produce can be beneficial in many ways to lots of people, also containing vitamin D3 and vitamin A which are available from grass fed animals.

But the true fact is that Vit B12 is a bacteria and therefore when the gut/colon is healthy and ‘clean’ the body will manufacture its own Vit B12 but how many people have a healthy mucus free colon?

For these reasons I recommend to have some tests taken to check your levels for these particular nutrients. Vit B12 deficiency symptoms can take years to show up in the body.  I like to use sublingual Vit B12.

It is also important to realize that we have “bio-individuality”. So sometimes when the blood test results are just "OK" we may actually require more than the recommended "OK" amount. Different body types due to genetics & circumstances need different amounts of natural supplements and different natural food sources. There is no correct one answer for all human beings.


Q13) What about fats & cholesterol?
A great book on this subject is Fats that Heal and Fats that Kill by Udo Erasmus. Our body needs good healthy fats to make hormones. And when we are raw and vegan it is important not to forget about this. We have often heard about the cholesterol  levels being too high in the normal every day to day diet. But in the raw vegan diet the reverse is true and it is often too low which is a serious problem, as cholesterol makes hormones.

The liver stores, manufactures and breaks down cholesterol. A high level of cholesterol is more often than not to do with the liver becoming overloaded with tasks or toxins  ~   i.e. If we liken the liver to a factory where the work force are constantly having to do other jobs on top of their normal day to day jobs therefore they are unable to get on with creating a healthy liver function. If we were to consume homogenised, pasteurised cows milk products on a regular basis and we are unable to digest this ~ which is a very common issue ~ then the liver has to get on with detoxing and therefore neglects the normal daily task of breaking down the cholesterol stored in the liver.

So it is not about eating cholesterol but about eating the wrong types of fats  & foods for your body.

However the problem with the vegan raw diet can be about having too low cholesterol levels as already mentioned. So we need to make sure we are having fats that help make cholesterol like coconut oil. My favourite is the green Thai coconut flesh and water. However some types of body constitutions are not good with fats and oils. So something like powdered Marine Phytoplankton would be beneficial in these cases.

We also need Essential fatty acids in our day to day diet:-

It is important to have a balance of omega-3 and omega-6  in the diet. Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation, and most omega-6 fatty acids tend to promote inflammation. The typical Western diet tends to contain 14 - 25 times more omega-6 fatty acids (coming from animal produce) than omega-3 fatty acids.



There are several different types of omega-6 long chain fatty acids. Most omega-6 fatty acids in the diet come from vegetable oils in the form of linoleic acid (LA). The body converts linoleic acid to GLA and then to arachidonic acid (AA).

GLA and linoleic acid

GLA = Gamma linolenic acid ~ forms hormone like substances helping to inhibit inflammation ; balance hormones ; boost the immune system; reduce platelet aggregation .....  ~ eg from cold pressed seeds & plants (lecithin  which ideally should be soya free).

 ~ most of these oils also contain some linoleic acid :-

• evening primrose oil,
• borage oil
• black currant seed oil
• hempseed = contains omega -6 (loneleic acid & GLA) as well as omega-3 (ALA - alpha linolenic acid) ~containing the ideal ratios of omega-6 to omega-3

But it is said that some constitutions find it difficult to convert the ALA to EPA hence why the need for other  sources of omega -3 fatty acids in the vegan diet ~ see above list.

Q14) “Shamanic Nutrition” article written for Funky Raw magazine

The ‘dead’ processed diet is causing such dis-ease or imbalances in the human mind, spirit and body more so than before causing the most ‘deadliest’  of imbalances in our human race ...obesity.

And thank goodness with computers via a simple tap on our keyboards we can access an abundance of freedom of speech & information galore on places like:- you tube, facebook & google etc.  The influence and inspiration of raw food on human beings is only too apparent.

People are looking for answers to their health outside the mainstream general practice more so than before.
I believe the power of wild plants or nature and live spring water
  David Wolfe http://youtu.be/9DqwlOKwqoM
  Daniel Vitalis http://youtu.be/V_hvLvS2dgY
has the signature to change the future of human beings. It is not just simply the people involved in promoting the benefits of eating raw  live Kirlian energetic foods but the energy vibrations that is calling via our very being from truly live organic plants & trees.

I believe that it is what is intended for us. It is like the homeopathic vibrations of nature. The whole planet is based on energetic vibrations from living water to every living cell.

I also believe that people who are in GREAT need of rebalancing their bodies need to be living as close to nature as possible in every way.

Also the vit D3 and Vit B12 issues are also such huge subjects to be considered in the raw community too.  

Vit D3 needs to from the most natural source as possible i.e. the sun. It needs to be rescued from the barriers such as skin tan lotions & toxic potions/lotions & of course general pollution too. I believe the more we are grounded ~ i.e. our feet connected to the earth and the less toxic our bodies are the less our skin will become inflamed or burn.  Click here to more on connecting to the Cosmos.

The sun is our answer to our health in many ways. People have become to believe that the sun is dangerous through the media and pharma. But ancient wisdom show that sunbathing and sun gazing at the correct time can have an astounding affect on our wellbeing.

And as for vit B12 the cleaner our bodies are ie the intestines both on a physical level and on an emotional/spiritual level, the better our body's wisdom will be in choosing the right foods for our original being-ness.  Various body's need to tap it from various sources due to genetic differences.

Living in harmony with nature has long been lost within so called evolution of the human being. If we take a snippet from the film Avatar then we see how the tribal people live in this way. They connect with all the living creatures within their world ~ from the mycelium to the food they hunt and eat. They kill with respect and  gratitude & only take what they need. They feel the heart beat and feel the breath of the animal and connect spiritually to it before killing. We are animals after all, and we have lost the animal instinct of intuition within us. This intuition is blocked more than ever before for many reasons. Stress factors such as electrical equipment, eating processed dead foods and toxic animal flesh, less time taken to connect with nature, and therefore less time taken to connect with ourselves.

Very often Vegans choose their path through a choice of emotion. Which is not surprising with all the awful inhumane horrific battery type farming taking place. This often creates our path of veganism. These animals are not even allowed to manifest in their original being-ness. They are fed the most un-natural diet and lead a most unnatural way of life often attached to machinery for most of their lives. Chickens & cows are often not even living 1/3 of their natural life span!  So we are not even eating the energetic signature of animal produce. They have lost their true energy! Thus creating further dysfunction in our intuition and energy.

If we were in an environment where we were surrounded by more natural humane farming methods I wonder if there would be such a high vegan/vegetarian political ‘movement’?

When we choose to be vegan through emotional choice and not through instinct/intuition this can lead to dis~ease. Even though I eat a raw vegan diet I find myself questioning the natural rhythms of nature. If we were to forage and live in an environment where we had to survive on our surrounding fauna, so no shops or ships to supply our produce, what would we end up choosing to eat?.... I wonder?

What about living on a diet of wild insects and animals and so on with compassion and respect. Cultures such as the Aborigines and North American Native Indians lived in harmony with nature. Never taking more than their needs. So they never ate through greed and indulgence. The way which we eat now is not through our intuition but through our senses much more than ever before.

All these confusing vibrational messages coming from dysfunctional food and the media is creating an unhealthy balance between human beings and mother nature.

What we need to focus on is our health through wisdom and compassion and not using labels like "I'm a raw vegan, I am 100% raw and so on….." The more we create Iabels for ourselves the more we cut ourselves off from connecting  one another. And this will create more opportunity for the  negative influences of unethical energies to succeed in filtering into our ‘space’. How much out there is just propaganda created by big business with vested interests?

I think the raw food ‘movement’ will move towards more of an acceptance to the variations in peoples needs. So for some people this will mean eating raw animal produce (Paelo diet) and not eating only raw vegan. And for some people this raw food path might be about having various percentages of raw in their diet.

All in all I think it is going to be very positive! The more we open our acceptance of how and where other people are we are going to create inner and outer harmony and that is what our lives are all about.

Q15 How important healthy water is to our health
Why water is important to our health http://youtu.be/82qXqNrxxu0

Many sources indicate that plastic bottled water contaminates our body and affects our hormones i.e.  Xenoestrogens are environmental hormone disruptors creating an imbalance with the body's hormones. See film documentary :- "Tapped" http://youtu.be/72MCumz5lq4
