How can Pecans, Walnuts, and Chestnuts be chosen over cashews,

peanuts, and macadamias from a taste perspective? I know some will

argue that cashews are not really raw because they're heat treated to

get the shell off, but they don't bother me, or upset my equilibrium.

[Guest guest]

My top, top favorites right now are:

 

Dates! Absolute Favorite!

Mangos (I try and have a mango every evening for a snack)

Cashews

 

After those I would say:

 

Mixed greens

Pumkin Seeds - Really Yummy :-)

Bananas

Apples

 

I am still transitioning. I have only been trying raw food for about

3 weeks. I am at about 80%, with the only cooked foods being some

sprouted bread (Ezekial), salad dressing, and cooked beans. I am

definitely going through the sugar and fat cravings stage, right

now - pretty much only wanting dates and nuts. But I do love the

greens and try and keep everyday varied.

Ok peter,I will try and tempt you. I am 45 years old and over the years I ate

the usual Standard american diet. Anthing and everything I ate. Nothing could

hurt me I felt. Even smoke cigarettes. I started getting headaches about five

years ago. Got hemmorides about 2 years ago.The pain was getting unbearable.

Last summer i would only eat meat because meat don't have any fiber. Didn't have

to have a bowl movemen't as often just eating meat.hehehe. Well anyway about six

months ago i started reading every thing i could find on the internet about

nutrition. I think i was on the verege of getting colon cancer. I was trying

everything to get rid of the headaches except quit smoking. I even went 100

percent raw for about 2 weeks and still had headaches and hemmorides. I

stummbled across a few web sites about raw honey and brought some at a local

farmers market. The day after i started eating the raw honey the headaches

quit.This was about 2 months ago.Not one headache in the past two

months. I still have a slight problem with the hemmorids though. Any

suggestions on getting rid of hemmorids feel free to throw them at me. Here is

one web site with some information about raw honey. Click on health facts after

you get to the site.This is not my web site.

Interesting story, Nicolas.

 

There is a certainty that with your previous diet, your arteries are a lot

more obstructed than you know or will show up on

a quick blood pressure test!

 

At 45 you may be in time to skate out of the big killer diseases. Being

here is probably your best hope.

 

Am looking at your honey pages. There is still so much that is not known.

I have a hemorrhoid from my last pregnancy that had me in bed for 2 weeks

before giving birth. The pain from it was worse than the c-section. It

recently re-occurred after I was sick with a terrible cough and I decided to

try my essential oils since nothing else would work (I could not walk from

this flare up). After one day of using the oils, I could walk again. AFter

about 2 days, I was almost back to normal. Please let me know if you would

like me to send you info from my reference guide and I will do so privately.

You are probally right Peter. Two months ago my fingers would turn white and get

real cold when I was outside in the cold wheather. I think the honey is

cleaning out my arteries because last week my fingers stayed normal when i was

out in the cold wheather.

I agree about Cashews.... I was wondering why there were not on the

list, but I had heard about the heat treatment, but like you that

has not bothered me. If Pecans were cheaper I would eat them

more. And Chestnuts are nice too, and living in UK at least there

do grow here.

Peace & harmony

Being Vegan I don't now use honey. But I have heard that there is

something in raw organic honey that can be healthy. But I found I

did not need to use honey to improve my health. I had been Vegan

for 30 years and was brought up Vegetarian from birth (1939). I

was getting a lot of bowel problems before turning to raw eating. I

went 100% raw for three weeks, and the effect was amazing. I am

probably about 85 to 90% raw most of the time.
