David Wolfe NY City

[mbf]

I was so fortunate to see David Wolfe in NY city on Friday night. He did a lecture at the Plant In Dumbo, Matthew Kenny's place. I got to speak with both of them personally, great people, I felt like I was talking to people I have known my entire life! The food was so good I could not do it justice by attempting to describe it.

I got so much out his talk and Q & A session, I now know why he is referred to as the world authority on raw food. I bought his 3 part DVD lecture and again, amazing information. He is a great teacher and had such concrete answers for every question.

If you ever get the opportunity to see him speak, GO! The Plant in Dumbo is very cool place too! I will go back there again!

It is high in oligofructose (also called fructo-oligosaccharide), a dietary sugar, which the human body does not metabolize, hence its potential use for diabetics and in body weight control.

Great for Hair loss: MSM, Garlic, Radishes, Aloe Vera, Cyanne Pepper - Need to get more sulfur in the body. If losing hair, sign of liver malfunction. The body is out of sulfur and it's going to the liver to get it. The chealtion (is the process of reversible binding of a ligand, the chelator or chelating agent, to a metal ion / the process of forming a ring by forming one or more hydrogen bonds/ any process determined by the atomic and molecular composition and structure of the substances involved) of sulfur from the liver causes the hair to fall out, so need to replace it with MSM or sulfur supplements.

Great notes dream!!!

I recently spent a LOT of time with David, and it was very special indeed. He has such a wealth of information, (which I take with a grain of salt because like he says.. it is all EXPERIENTAL). What fun though. :)

Hey DreamRa,

I think I saw you, but wasn't sure that that was you, but now that you say you were there, so I'm pretty sure that was you. You do look healthy though! Actually I think most of the people there look so much more healthier than the general public.

I had a great time too, although I was there by myself, I met a few people, I just felt so at home there. I love the dessert!!! It was sooo good.

[eatyourbroccoli]

DreamRa, were you wearing a green shirt? I was sitting at one of the center tables with my husband on the kitchen side as well, I has my hair in a pony tail, jeans and white T shirt with asian print jacket.

And i've heard before how seedless fruits is not good also.

Or maybe David Wolfe got in a fight with a big banana company...

[Goldsplinter]

[mbf]

Hmm, nope. I had dark brown cords with a navy blue jacket and brown spaghetti strap underneath that you could only see the top half of.

EatYourbrocc,
I use coconut meat in my smoothies, it really adds thickness but I still miss my nanas! The best smoothie was cacao with coconut meat and bananas! But I will find a replacement!

How about plantains?

Edit: Nvm it's seedless too.

[eatyourbroccoli]

thanks! its so hard to find berries around here right now though :( maybe kiwis :)

[mbf]

I think plantains have been modified by humans as well? I don't think there are any bananas in the united states that are not hybrid.

EatYour Brocc, how about frozen organic berries? Woodstock farms, cascadia farms both have a nice variety. They are not flash frozen.

Mangos, peaches, nectarines, pears, apples.. they all make lovely smoothies that are think and delicious!!

also avocadoes, coconuts.....

I could go on ;)

I was depressed for like a day when I quit eating bananas.. now I don't know how or why I ever did!

[exurb]

The food was so good I could not do it justice by attempting to describe it.

oh, please describe it!!!

[eatyourbroccoli]

ohh! why didnt i ever think of avocadoes before?

also..ill look for the frozen berries at my local store, thanks :D

just as a side note..does anybody know what the bananas monkeys eat in the wild look like?

[mbf]

If you ever pick up David Wolfes book there is a picture of a 'real banana" in it.
