Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 My family will never go raw or vegan so I think they need vitamins, but I know that many vitamins are synthetic. So I need a recommendation of natural vitamins. They would not be willing to consume superfood either. They must be in pill form please.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 My mother used to run a health food store and she always recommend Solovite by Solgar for a multivitamin. -Mike --- minnie9090 <minnie9090 wrote: > My family will never go raw or vegan so I think they need vitamins, > but > I know that many vitamins are synthetic.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Minnie, they don't necessarily have to " go raw or vegan " - maybe just " increase the percentage of " raw fruits, vegys, nuts and seeds. Fruits are our best source of vitamins, followed by vegys; vegys are our best source of minerals, followed by fruits. best, Bob rawfood , " minnie9090 " <minnie9090 wrote: > > My family will never go raw or vegan so I think they need vitamins, but > I know that many vitamins are synthetic.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Vita-Synergy from Synergy Co. is the only whole food multi vitamin I know of- all the rest are chemicals. It is a very good product. You may be able to find others on Rawfood.com, or other raw food web sites. I also think Dr Schulze puts his Super Food into capsules now. Best to you- Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Hi Minnie, If you are looking for a natural raw whole food that has not been pasterized I highly recommend Via Viente nectar. It has blueberry, grape, bilberry, cranberry, aloe vera, apple, noni, elderberry and prune combine with a mineral water. It makes a powerful anti oxidant and has kept my family extremely healthy.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I can attest to the Vita-Synergy from Synergy Co - I take them and they are a whole food vitamin. Fabulous. Go to www.synergyworldwide.com if you want to read about their products. When you get to the home page - click on Amazing Products - when you get to that screen - on the right hand side is the VITA-Synergy picture and you'll hear all about them. You don't have to sign up as a distributor if you don't want to - but you get a break in price if you do. I sell these products and love love love them. Check it out!

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Hi everyone, I'm Aphrodite in WI. I am new to the group and so happy to find a support group. (as my husband thinks that I am nuts) I just started the raw diet three days ago and so far it is going well. I do have a few questions. In my research I found someone said something about feeling really rotten for the first 2 months. I only found that one place and has never been mentioned anywhere else. I have been tired and very moody. Any one else experience this? I am new to this, so bare with me please if these are silly questions. I also wanted to ask about the vita-synergy. Is this VITAPAC? Or is vita-synergy a completely different product. I went on the site and could not find VITA-SYNERGY. I also wonder about vinegar. Are there some that I can use and some that I can not? I love balsamic and am afraid that might be off limits too. Mustard is probably not raw either right? Just wondering what kind of condiments are ok and what isn't. Although I am sure most are not ok unless you make them yourself. I also have quinoa flakes. I am not sure how those are made, yet my guess would be that they were not cooked in any way. Anyone know for sure? Also, I am wondering about any websites that have really good cookie recipes. I am kind of craving some cookies right now! Thanks so much for the information. I am so happy to have stumbled upon a few other likeminded people. The RAW is so easy to do right now, but I really fear not being about to keep it up during the winter months due to lack of good produce.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 I do not recognize the products on the link provided by Judy.That is another company and different products. I was talking about Vita-Synergy whole food multi vitamins by The Synergy Company. They are not sold through MMM or distributors. Here is the correct link: _The Synergy Company - Vita Synergy_ (http://www.synergy-co.com/pages/vita-synergy.html) or try: _www.synergy-co.com_ (http://www.synergy-co.com) sorry for the confusion.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Here's a rule of thumb: is your food in it's original package? Meaning does it look like it was just picked or harvested? Does it look like the picture on a seed packet? And no, grains are not an optimal food. That's usually the next question. Juices that you do not make are pretty much dead. Personally 99% of what I buy I buy in the produce department. Makes shopping very easy. The 1%? Raw nuts, preferably in the shell.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Hi Aphrodite, I am in WI too. I live in Bristol by the Illinois border. I've been in Eauclair many times. My ex hunsband is from Cornell. We were together for 20 years. I have been 100% raw for about 5 weeks now. I was 75 - 90% for a few months before going 100%. I was crabby for about 3 weeks and just isolated so I didn't bite anoyone's head off. I had a couple of bouts with diarreha - once for 2 days in the beginning and once for about 1/2 day. I think it was poor food combining or just flushing my system. I felt good afterward. Evenyone has different experiences from my understanding and I think it depends on age and how you ate before you started, and how much medication and other things polluted your body. Here is a cookie recipe I found in the book " Raw Food real world " by Matthew Kinney. Almond Butter Cookies 4 c Almond flour * 1 c Almond butter 3 tbls agaver nectar 1/2 c raw honey or date paste 2 tsp sea salt Combine ingredients Spoon on teflex sheets or roll out and cut to shapes you like. Dehydrate 115 degrees for 12 - 24 hours until crisp. Stor in covered container in the refrigerator for up to a week. * 8 dehyrdated almonds that have soaked overnight and dehydrated for 12 hours - then ground to a flour. I have found it's a lot of work compared to SAD cooking but I have found some of these things a lifesafer when I felt like I really craved something.
