Guest guest Posted October 19, 2000 Report Share Posted October 19, 2000 I didn't think this was a political list when I signed up but now I am beginning to wonder.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 I don't think it is the raw foods and juices that cure disease. They give the body the materials to do what it was meant to do. Then IT cures itself, like it is supposed to. (cool huh?) Sue - Aurora Solomon LeakyGut Cc: rawfood Saturday, February 15, 2003 2:18 PM [Raw Food] New to Group Hi, I just found your group and I just received a letter from my dr that I have Leaky Gut Syndrome. I also have H.Pylori which I treated for 3 weeks with antibiotics but it doesn't feel like it's gone either. I believe that both of these syndromes are from a 14 month daily IV antibiotic treatment I was on for Lyme Disease. My body is also raging with candida from all of the antibiotics I've taken. A couple of months ago I stopped all antibiotics and a few weeks ago I started eating mostly raw food, no sugar, coffee, chocolate or processed food. When I want something sweet I make a smoothie. My plan is to eventually be 95-100% raw and then do a water fast. Years ago I did a 20 day water fast and a then I did a couple of 2 week fasts - all with great results. Has anyone done raw food/juice for Leaky Gut Syndrome, H.Pylori, candida, lyme disease, or chronic fatigue? Thanks for any suggestions?

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 Hello Aurora, I know there are people on this list who can tell you the references for a couple of men who say they healed their colons by fasting and eating raw food. I hope it works for you! I am writing to speak of my experience with candida, which is ongoing and has been since I was about 12 years old. I have tried pretty much every remedy out there, and have high hopes that eating raw will finally solve this issue for me. However, it is still a long process. I have recently undergone a colonic hydrotherapy session, which was a trip. These people were selling a candida therapy which consists of capsules with various herbs and a tincture. Many of the ingredients were familiar to me from my years of battling this. So, I am trying it. I am hoping if I can get my gut cleaned out sufficiently, and also take enough probiotics, I can lick this thing. At least now that I'm eating raw, I feel like I have a chance. A fast would probably help tremendously, but I just haven't felt up to that yet. Good luck to you. And definitely stay away from antibiotics and sugar!

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 I am not an expert and have not experienced candida myself, but i am attending a workshop by Victoria Boutenko and she was talking about this and said to spread the word. It is recomended that one eat an all raw food, low-fat diet for 5 to 10 days. Low fat meaning no nuts, seeds, avocado, olives etc. rawfood , " Aurora Solomon " <asolo@s...> wrote: > Hi, > > I just found your group and I just received a letter from my dr that I have Leaky Gut Syndrome.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 Hi Sally: The pH of the raw food diet wiil help the body become more alkaline, with the exception of potatoes or other high starch tubers. Candida thrives in an acidic environment. All the remedies in the world will fail if the body is acidic. You've gone the remedy route so I won't re-invent the wheel here but here's the fundaments that must be followed. As you probably know by now, the number one enemy of Candida is acidophilus, so it's a good idea to take a few capsules before meals and then to have some fermented milk product [unsweetend] to provide a breeding environment for the acidophilus. Viili is best but kefir or yogurt will do. And of course avoid all refined carbs such as breads and pastas and any kind of sugar. I don't know where you're located but your health food store may carry a product called BioK+ [pronounced bio kay plus] that has over 50 billion live acidophilus per serving. It's the best pro biotic to attack Candida. Raw green leafy vegetables will do wonders. And be careful of over protein [acidic] diets such as Atkin's rusty - Sally Harvey rawfood Saturday, February 15, 2003 7:06 PM Re: [Raw Food] New to Group Hello Aurora, I know there are people on this list who can tell you the references for a couple of men who say they healed their colons by fasting and eating raw food.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 Sally, Hydratherapy gets a mixed reception. A raw foodist whose opinion I respect gave a warning about its dangers. Given that he is Dr. Douglas Graham, I think you would do better to get his opinion rather than the guesses or consensus of this forum. Your question is medical in nature and although it seems you have had a bad passage in general from that profession, I think he is more than worth the try for your case. He has a website - so any search engine should find him.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Hi, I'm quite interested in Lyme. After I got Lyme, I created Lymelinks.org, an animated map of national Lyme incidence. I've been trying to interest the Lyme community in raw. I have this deap-seated feeling that it's a great approach to treating Lyme and associated co- infections. I'll be interested to know of your progress, and if you're interested/willing, I could share it with some of the key lyme listservs. Could maybe generate a larger community of Lyme folks to move toward raw, and to share feedback with each other.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2003 Report Share Posted September 6, 2003 Hi Rhonda, I am new to RAW foods lifestyle myself. Mainly I started this because I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I am overweight by 60 lbs. Even though I have had several setbacks over the last 4 weeks I still managed to lose 7lbs now. I have been exersising and trying to diet for the last few years and I have lost nothing. I started with FIT FOR LIFE and lost 15 lbs but now that I am Going Totally RAW I have lost 7 more even with set backs. I have not been exersising because I am waiting to recive inserts for my shoes due to the fact that I have fallin arches. It is really hard to just juice so don't feel so hard on yourself. If juicing along doesn't work for you or you find it too hard to do try adding some salads or whole fruits to give you something to chew on. I would worry thought most reports show that losing weight too fast is not healthy and those that lose weight fast gain it back fast. But a slow and steady weight loss of 1-3lbs a week is ideal and from what I have seen people that lose this way do tend to keep it off. I myself lost 60lbs before in less than 2 months gained it all back in less than 2 yrs. A girl at work lost 80lbs over the course of 1 1/2 yrs and here she is 5 yrs later and she had not gained back 1 ounce. I think she has even lost a few more lbs. in recent month and she is in her late 40's. The best thing to do is do what works best for you. If juicing along is not something you can handle there are many other ways to go about this. Maybe even try starting with Fit for Life which is 70% RAW and 30% cooked. Then maybe be go to cutting out dairy, then cutting out meat then maybe 1 day all raw to 2 days all raw and so on. Some people quite cold turkey some have to ease on into it. READ as much as you can on the subject. Join as many groups as you can you can never have too much good support. my 2 cents Jennifer rawfood , " Rhonda " <rcofresi@e...> wrote: > Hi!

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Hello, I'm new to the group. I am following the Eat to Live diet, which is vegan.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Hi. I too have lost a lot as a vegetarian. I am not familiar with the 'Eat to Live' diet but I have found that a balance of bean and rice type dishes with either stir fry or composed plate of veges type dishes keep me losing weight and take care of nutritional needs. (I eat say, vege red beans and rice one day and the next, a plate of cabbage, okra, peas, carrots, rutabaga, whatever). I splurge once and a little while with Lay's Classic potato chips (as a naughty treat) and eat very little cheese and milk if any. (I find I crave buttermilk so I listen to my body.) Nuts once and a while. No eggs or meats of any kind. No fish or shellfish. It is a learning process and I too, although I have cooked all my life, am having to relearn technique and composition. Olive oil is the vegan's best friend and starting dishes with olive oil and aromatic veges, with lots of herbs and spices, makes eating vegan anything but boring. It is fun and has kept my mind occupied coming up with new recipes. Also, Boca brand vegan frozen food is great when you are feeling lazy. The soy italian sausage wrapped in a flour tortilla or Indian chapati with mustard is a favorite quick snack/little meal. I eat all day, as my hunger demands and find some days I'm ravenous and on other's not very hungry. I've gone from 250lbs to 165lbs and feel very well, better than in many years. I will be staying with this new lifestyle. I also walk three miles at least every other day. That seems to be keeping the weight loss going, slowly but surely.Wendy <wwilson553 wrote: Hello, I'm new to the group. I am following the Eat to Live diet, which is vegan.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Hi, Marissa, I know how challenging this can be, but you will find lots of helpful advice and recipes here. Have you considered trying your little one on RAW milk? I am highly allergic to commercial milk, and avoided all dairy for years, but found I can tolerate raw milk and cheese and butter just fine. Commercial milk is loaded with growth hormones, steroids, and antibiotics-the vitamin E in commercial milk is a steroid. It turns out that most people actually react to those things (as well as the unnatural diet fed to the cows). You can also make homemade cashew, almond or rice milk. My favorite brands of wheat free pasta is Tinkyada-they make everything from basic macaroni to jumbo shells, lasagne, etc. I asked my local grocery store to start carrying them, and they did. We actually prefer them to wheat pasta. Brenda , Marisa Harvey <scbeachmommy wrote: > > Hi my name is Marisa I am new to the group.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Welcome to the group! I sneak TVP (textured vegetable protein) into our carnivorous grandson's meals and he hasn't caught on yet, so maybe eventually you'll want to try this. The meat substitutes in the freezer section are ok but pricey. They might be a good way to wean the family from meat. My grandson loves chili/taco stuff but doesn't know yet that it is not meat. My husband and I have been lacto-ovo vegetarians for over 20 years. Check out the files, I know you'll find many wonderful recipes to try on your family! Jeanne Like movies?

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Dena Jo, I've found all these books at Barnes and Noble. They have the vegetarian and vegan books separated out. But as far as which one to start with? I'd go with "Lantern Presents The Vegan Family Cookbook", by Chef Brian P. McCarthy. (I looked it up once just as "The Vegan Family Cookbook" and it wasn't listed. But when I added the "Lantern Presents..." - thar she be!). This book is simply laid out and very, very easy to follow.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Hola from Buenos Aires, I've spent the last year going from one Dr. or nutritionist to the next...trying all the supposedly best (extreme?) ways to be healthy & loose weight: becoming a vegetarian (no easy feat in Argentina) moving onto raw foods & ending with raw juices, with the result that I felt physically worse/weak with each passing day (I thought I was detoxing?) & became so completely & totally obsessed with food that it was all I could think about from the moment I got up in the morning until I went to bed at night (basically what I should not/could not eat = sugars & carbs) & how to control the uncontrollable cravings, all of which became so bad that in the end...I had little/no energy or desire to even leave my house or see my friends ( & eating out became hi-drama as I was so starved/my blood sugar was so consistently low that I had trouble controlling myself around normal food...so I simply preferred to stay home) Correspondingly my Dr. recommended an anti-depressant as he thought I probably had low serotonin levels but seeing as I had so little control over one drug (food) I was hesitant to say the least about starting with another...so I went onto the internet & started investigating 'low serotonin' & came across PNP...which thankfully & luckily a friend visiting NY brought back to me last Tuesday... Wednesday I started with step 1/breakfast & the results was instant & remarkable...I can't remember the last time that I felt so good...NORMAL...both physically & mentally...almost like my old self... So my question is this: as a vegetarian...how do I get the necessary protein at each meal...with the lowest calories...?? Especially as Argentina has only the most basic protein alternatives (plain tofu...nothing fancy) I do eat fish & some lactose (yogurt etc) but no meat or chicken... Many MANY thanks...

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Hola Holly, welcome! You know I was contemplating a trip to Argentina earlier this year and was wondering how I'd survive as a vegetarian. Didn't end up taking the trip, but it's good to know it can be done . I have a few stand-by type meals here, and I bet others have some they would share, too. For breakfast I like shake. I use the whey based protein powder from the RR store. For my other meals I rotate between egg based dishes (frittata's, omelets etc), legumes like my bean and cashew chili, cheese dishes like enchiladas and tofu dishes. there are actually a lot of ways to cook tofu, I prefer to get it plain so I can be creative . Sometimes I'll have tempeh, too. I typically end up having a few protein sources at a single meal to make sure I get enough. Have you checked out the files section of the main page here? there is a whole list of protein source, maybe you can get a few ideas there! Heather There are two ways to live your life.

I lived in Buenos Aires all my life until April 2008. I live in the Seattle area now. To me being a vegetarian back there was not a problem at all. I was a vegan for five years, added eggs and dairy later on, and now eat some meat because I feel it helps me stick to the program and feel plain happier Have you been to Barrio Chino? (Calle Arribenos, in Belgrano). My favorite store was Casa China (they have two stores, on two different blocks; you should check out both since they carry some item in one and not in the other), where you can find lots of vegetarian/vegan protein options: all kinds of lentils and beans, to-fu, to-kan, seitan, " milanesas de soja " and more. They also have a great selection of very good quality grains, and for some reason I find them more flavorful than the ones here - especially whole grain pasta! There is also Lotos, in Ave. Córdoba 1600, although it's usually more expensive and doesn't carry the same selection. I hope this helps. Let me know if you need any more info!

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Thank you Heather...it's taking me a bit of time to figure out this whole website/message thing...hope I'm doing it right & you see this? BA is a beautiful place to visit no matter what you eat (or don't eat) altho yes...it is a carnivore's mecca...!! As far as I know we don't have any good protein powders here but I'm still investigating & failing that I will hopefully be up in the US in July so will order some to take back with me...I guess my main problem is trying to figure out how to get all the protein I need at every meal without bulking up the calories?? But your advice was very helpful & I will check further the files/recipes etc...I just wish there were some sort of 'daily-diet' basics to give me something to go by...altho I'm sure I will eventually figure it out...I feel so much better already it is unbelievable...!!

Would just like to know how to add all the proteins/beans etc. with bulking up in calories?? Anyway...guess I will figure it out eventually...!! Otra vez...mil gracias...!!!

My favorite store was Casa China (they have two stores, on two different blocks; you should check out both since they carry some item in one and not in the other), where you can find lots of vegetarian/vegan protein options: all kinds of lentils and beans, to-fu, to-kan, seitan, " milanesas de soja " and more. They also have a great selection of very good quality grains, and for some reason I find them more flavorful than the ones here - especially whole grain pasta! > There is also Lotos, in Ave. Córdoba 1600, although it's usually more expensive and doesn't carry the same selection. > > I hope this helps. Let me know if you need any more info! > > Peace and Good, > Agustina > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Holly, well we can help you come up with ideas, I've heard some great ones here . Let's find out what you are focusing on right now--what step are you on? Heather There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. --Albert Einstein ________________________________ hollysarian <hsarian Saturday, May 30, 2009 3:20:55 PM Re: New to group Thank you Heather...it' s taking me a bit of time to figure out this whole website/message thing...hope I'm doing it right & you see this? BA is a beautiful place to visit no matter what you eat (or don't eat) altho yes...it is a carnivore's mecca...!! As far as I know we don't have any good protein powders here but I'm still investigating & failing that I will hopefully be up in the US in July so will order some to take back with me...I guess my main problem is trying to figure out how to get all the protein I need at every meal without bulking up the calories?? But your advice was very helpful & I will check further the files/recipes etc...I just wish there were some sort of 'daily-diet' basics to give me something to go by...altho I'm sure I will eventually figure it out...I feel so much better already it is unbelievable. ..!! Many thanks again...H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
