Dear Nina,

 

Thanks for asking. Will pass this on to HS and

Advaitin as well, as some may be interested in this.

 

I am planning to put my mother's super secret recipe

known to all Indians only on making authentic Indian

Chai in the next issue of the HS magazine (the

magazine may be renamed to yoga and tantra and good

teas or something). This recipe has been in the family

for many generations ever since the British Raj

started encouraging high tea consumption a few

hundered years ago in India. Our family motto then

became, "if we must be forced to drink tea, the tea

must taste good to us."

 

Also, my mother will write an article on preparing

Indian dishes which will include Aloo Parantha, Aloo

mutter, Aloo Ghobi, and various types of Dahls. If

there are special requests, we will throw those

recipes in as well.

 

My mother is Punjabi (North India) but one of our

distinguished HS members Adiji is from the south so we

will also cover all the different regions when it

comes to food.

 

And of course to top it all, my complete raw fruit

guru JanB will have his special fruitarian article

with fruitarian recipes for those of us who are

fruitarian oriented but struggling.

 

Love to all

Harsha

Harsha, so many online recipes are present that it's likely there's

something for every taste

http://tinyurl.com/2rlfm

One of the pioneers in Germany has been Helmut Wandmaker , author of several books

http://www.rawfood.com/wandmaker.html

Like several "colleagues", autodidactic, hence to read his books common sense will do.

As he is still alive and willing to write, asking him to write an

article would be a better idea though.

A long read on the issue raw / cooked is at http://www.living-foodscom/articles/rawfreshproduce.html

Apart from mentioning that the side effects of detoxing often resemble

serious allergies and can last for months (the reason why many either

give up or can't proceed unsupervised) there's nothing to say on the

subject, apart from, take the experiment!

Peace,

Jan

Thanks Jan. Great sites! Helmut became a raw foodist

at the age of 50 and is now 80!

 

Very inspirational!

 

Your advice to make the raw food experiment is a good

one! To go on a pure fruitarian diet or a raw

vegetarian diet, one has to reject the advice of

modern medical science which focuses on getting a lot

of protein and vitamin B12. But evidently many people

have done it successfully with the results of healthy

and long lives.

 

Love,

Harsha

Norman Walker is even more inspirational. He wrote books at age, >100!

There are enough cases of fraud and corruption in the health & food

industry to seriously doubt the vitamin, medicine & supplement advice

given. Remember the vit A hype? An overdose of vit A is damaging and

there isn't a preemptive warning. It's a bit weird to consider that

Gaia takes care of natural food for creatures with 1 exception,

mankind, needing chemistry to synthesize what supposedly is denied to

man. The SAD (Standard American Diet) is lacking in those basic

nutrients due to elimination of compounds decreasing shelf life (with

the PR term "refinement"), any wild animal gets plenty of, when living

in areas where the soil hasn't been depleted by man's treatment

(synthetic fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides) for profits. There are

even stories of poor ppl having been living healthily for years on

cat & dog food, as that is optimized for health & longevity of the

furry friends whereas SAD isn't. The supplement and "fix up"

pharmaceutical industry could not possibly exist without SAD.

Peace,

Jan
