Hello, I'm new

[Guest guest]

Hi, Laura. I'm fairly new here, too.

 

I've only been a veg for about a month. I've been learning how to

cook without meat, and it's an exciting adventure.

 

For dinner tonight, I had spinach mushroom manicotti...it was really

tasty. Also had a salad and lemon poppyseed cake. YUMMY!

 

I haven't tried the " boco " foods or any other " imitation meat "

stuff...I want to wean myself from the whole IDEA of meat...and that

means, for me anyway, to not even eat foods that are supposed to

taste like meat.

 

You're lucky...I wish we had good veg restaurants here... oh well.

 

happy posting,

Rose

Hannah,

I am not in the Seattle region, I admit, but am coming up there soon so I've

been checking out the community:). Raw foods have turned my life around!! I was

in and out of the hospital with mysterious delibilitating abdominal problems at

points a few years ago. I got turned on to raw foods, and my problems went

away.

There is another naturopath here in Eugene that advocates raw foods as well- her

name is Virginia Oram, fyi.

Blessings to you,

Marcella

Hello everyone,

 

I am new to the raw foods lifestyle, but in two months i can see

it's leading me to brave new worlds. I am a naturopathic doctor

using mostly homeopathy (energy medicine) to treat patients

body/mind/soul. I am writing to ask:

 

a. are there any other healthcare providers in the group?

b. are there any members who have cured a serious illness via eating

a raw foods diet and other forms of " alternative " lifestyle?

 

I'm also just discovering (!)the work and writings of Gabriel

Cousens and wondering if anyone wants to recommend a

book...something that is perhaps more for the science-minded. (I

like to have that as backup for patients when they raise their

eyebrows.)

 

thanks so much,

Hannah

Welcome, Hannah. If you're interested in objective, observable, true

science-based (as opposed to the faux 'science' that comes out of

medicine) and consistently reproducible knowledge, I heartily recommend

the voluminous writings of Herbert Shelton. You also might want to look

into Loren Lockman's " Creating Perfect Health " package

(www.TanglewoodWellnessCenter.com), which includes 3 videos and 5 audio

tapes. I have a couple sets for sale at the bargain-basement price of

$295 (Loren sells them for $495). There is also lots of info on my

website, including copies of TC Fry's " Life Science " Course for sale,

all 2,600 pages. Shelly Keck-Borsits' story might also be helpful to

you; she wrote a book about her transformation from

suicide-contemplating invalid to healthy and vibrant young woman via raw

food and natural hygiene. Here's her website of the same name:

www.DyingToGetWell.com. Happy reading and best of luck on your quest

for truthful information!

We (at least I) to the notion that with a proper diet

tempered with proper knowledge, we can take charge of our own health

and not become dependent upon " doctors " to keep us healthy.

 

> b. are there any members who have cured a serious illness via

One member Jerrod Sessler overcame stage 4 cancer by adopting a raw

foods diet (see www.hope4health.org). Everyone who has properly

embraced eating raw foods has found some form of improvement, whether

simply having more energy and joy or overcoming a serious illness.

 

Welcome to the group!

Dr. Rich Anderson has written Cleanse & Purify Thyself: Books 1 & 2. His

website is: www.cleanse.net He has some articles on there, also, some of which

are not written that well (IMJ). The information he gives is highly scientific

and educational. His books can be purchased at Barnes & Noble.

 

Also, you might pick up Diet For A New America. John Robbins (heir to the

Baskin/Robbins dynasty) discusses the protein myth in short, and has a lot of

info on why not to eat meat....how the animals are treated etc., and in short,

why not to partake of the Standard American Diet (SAD).

 

There are so many authors out there. Dr. Doug Graham

http://www.doctorgraham.cc/ has some interesting information. He is more of a

Naturalist, however.

 

These are a few ideas, just off the top of my head. There are numerous

'experts' on the subject of raw food. If you have time, you can google 'raw

food', or 'live food' and see what you come up with.

Hi Hannah,

I am a medical practitioner, my licensure is occupational therapy, I

specialize in Hellerwork or deep tissue structural integration, and a method

of lymphatic drainage and detoxification making use of Nicolas Tesle wave

pulsation technology. I have in my body the condition of fibromyalgia which

has been greatly helped by the raw food lifestyle, however not cured. I

attribute much of my recovery and present level of function to the raw food

diet, however it has required other efforts such as specific kinds of

exercise and supplements to reach full function, even after 100% raw for a

long time. I eat mostly raw now with very small exceptions. I would love

to speak with you: (206) 528-5350.

" i'm allergic "

" i'm sorry, its against my religion.. "

hello, I'm new

 

Hi everyone,

I am pretty new to the group and have only been reading your messages

thus far. I live in Montreal, and I'm currently working at Global

Action Network, an animal rights organization that's based here. I

study at McGill university and am starting work on a thesis on

chimpanzee conservation where there has been human/chimpanzee conflict

in Western Uganda.

 

I have been vegetarian for years and am newly vegan. lactose

intolerance has caused me to be mostly vegan by default for many years

but I am working on making it official. Luckily I hate milk anyway.

our family doctor had my mother convinced that we kids should be

drinking a giant glass of milk with dinner each day. This of course

would make me throw up and give me diarreah so it totally disgusts me

beyond the issue of animal cruelty. I get so angry when I see those

'got milk?' ads!

 

Does anyone have advice on how to explain why I'm veg without

offending a host? People inevitably ask for an explanation but it's

not exactly comfortable to imply that your host has unethical habits

or is a murderer while you're a guest in their home.

 

thanks,

Julia

Hello Julia

 

Welcome to the group. I hope you enjoy it here.

 

I usually say that I don't like to eat animals/animal products and leave it

at that. If they ask more just say it doesn't seem right to you. Sometimes

people ask me what I think of them for eating meat - my reply is that I

won't tell them what I think because I wouldn't want to upset them. That

makes them squirm a little - so is good to use if you are feeling devilish,

or if you are just fed up with the question being asked.

The youngest (she's 99.9% vegan now) suits her answer to the person asking.

For those she knows will react with a closed mind she simply says " food

allergies and lactose intolerant. "

Hi Julia and Welcome!

 

I usually just tell people outright that I am Vegan. And this does

tend to make them uncomfortable sometimes but that is mainly because

they do not understand.

 

When they ask why, I ask them do they want an honest answer or an

easy one. Either way I let them off the hook and say something

like " because I found out what goes into the processing of the foods

from start to finish and can no longer eat it " . This usually leads

to more questions and then I just start out slowly explining how I

feel and what I know. I try not to go too in depth about it though

right in the beginning.

 

I've found that though most people do not understand it, they accept

it and try to help to find me food. LOL But if I know I am going

somewhere before that will be serving food like a friends house, I

bring my own dish. This way I know I will have something to eat and

I can then share with them exposing them to great vegan food. Most

people do not realize all the great foods we eat because they cannot

imagine not using meat or dairy of any kind.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Nikki

I think just a simple statement that you are vegan should do it. It's not really necessary to say why. If they really seem to want to know why you can tell them your beliefs, but most don't wanna know why.

I LOVE Zen Palate. We usually go to the one at Union Square because we

are often in that area, but the one on the UWS is nice, too.

 

Other places we like are Kate's (east village) and House of Vegetarian

(Chinatown). I also have an unnatural love for the salad bar at Whole

Foods. I know there are other places we frequent, but I can't think of

them right now.

 

We used to really like Veg City Diner and we are still lamenting it's

closing, which was a few years ago now, I think. I miss those tofu

wings!! Although they do have a new location (new name, same owners)

on E. 14th that we haven't tried yet.

 

Have you found any good places in DC yet?

well... I think Sinead O'conner must have been thinking of Zen palate

when she wrote that song... because " nothing compares'

 

=)

 

we have found a lot of really good indian food places and things like

that... but I do miss Zen Palate..

Hi, I'm new and not sure how all this works so please bear with me!

I'm 19 and a fairly new vegan that's fed up of being quizzed and

considered as 'stupid' or 'strange' for being a vegan, looking forward

to talking to some like minded people for a change as I don't know any

other vegans! I'll leave it at that for now until I suss it all out!

Just wanted to introduce myself:)

Hi Peter,

 

Sadly, it didn't work out in the end. A whole bunch of little reasons which,

overall, added up to it not working. Veganism certainly wasn't the main

problem, but I must admit that not having to clamber into leather gear every

day did come as a relief.

 

On the other hand, I'm now filling the space left by not having to train

every day with more writing. So it has pretty much worked out. Well, except

for those poor fools who pay to read what I write, anyway!

Sorry it didnt work out, hope the writing career is going o.k.

I heard that firemen cant use the poles any more due to health and safety?

Hi Peter,

 

Sadly, it didn't work out in the end. A whole bunch of little reasons which,

overall, added up to it not working. Veganism certainly wasn't the main

problem, but I must admit that not having to clamber into leather gear every

day did come as a relief.

 

On the other hand, I'm now filling the space left by not having to train

every day with more writing. So it has pretty much worked out. Well, except

for those poor fools who pay to read what I write, anyway!

Our station had no pole, you don't get to break down doors wielding an axe,

and apparently there is a shocking lack of attractive women to rescue from

burning buildings. No standards, these days...
