    Request of Gosia

    What errors? Please link us to the list of Nazariah's errors in the Dr. Kim interview rather than merely stating that there are lots of errors. I noticed that Patenaude's comments on Nazariah's...

    I'll abandon expressing the concerns that I've raised on this thread and another, as I see that my doing so is being regarded not in the spirit in which I intended it, to encourage people to become...

    Attaway, Cherie!

    Thank you, Cherie, for your courage and ability to admit that you may need to take some additional precautions to ensure that you maintain good health. That was my intent, to urge people to examine...

    On the other hand...

    No! Most emphatically, no! I disagree strongly that people who do research will "ALWAYS prove what they are looking at." If this were the case, then why would Gabriel Cousens be saying that recent...

    A bit of clarity, I hope

    I believe these statements represent an over-simplification. The point that Nazariah makes, it seems to me, is far more significant than simply saying that it's fine if people feel wonderful but if...

    Possibly a reason why

    Cooking some foods raises their GI, but that's not universally the case as I recall from the reading I've done. I'm no chemist, to be sure, but I believe that I read somewhere back in my hi-pro,...

    Depends on the kind of fear, I'd say

    I'll simply add that I think there's a great deal of difference between fearing what others will think of us and what I would call fears that spark thoughtful consideration of such questions as, "Is...

    A few answers and some info to investigate

    Others will have to weigh in on this question, as I have a benign pituitary gland tumor or tumors that I'm hoping will be healed by eating raw or mostly so.



    No. As I understand that, it means...

    I think there's room for all of us here

    Even those like me who are more skeptical than others.

    I care about getting ALL the nutrients I need to avoid deficiencies that can be killers and are easily prevented with adequate nutrition.

    Interesting, SweetG and Swingbolder

    However, it doesn't state how long Baker has eaten 100% raw. Tallying up the dates given in her responses, it sounds as though she might have been raw for only a bit longer than a decade (difficult...

    Wait a minute, please

    These are extremely dangerous generalizations, it seems to me. I've been doing a lot of reading both pro and con about raw foodism just lately, and the evidence seems to be tending toward a distinct...

    Sweeteners

    I've even used the water from soaking dates if I wanted just a bit of sweetness.

    Me, I generally use raw, unfiltered honey as there's a producer in my area that makes really good honey. Nothing...

    Needs the lime juice

    Funny, as Mexico was where I first tasted a papaya, well, a fresh one, that is, as I'd had canned papaya before.

    Definitely requires the lime juice, IMO, to bring out the flavor fully. Also, you...

    The walking dictionary responds...

    It's spelled "deja vu," Rawkinlocs. If you wanna get really fancy, there's an accent over the "a," as I recall, but most English texts just spell it as I did.

    Yeah, I'd agree with VeganVixen....

    Try recipes without

    Both Bragg's and nutritional yeast are mostly to give the recipe a flavor something like the SAD recipe for the foodstuff.

    What SweetG said about substituting for Bragg's will work. I don't much...

    Agreeing with Rawkinlocs, et. al.

    Yep, part of why I went raw was near-constant yeast infections and a horrible itch most of the time. About a year ago, my doctor said just to give the nurse a call whenever it was too uncomfortable,...
