Paula Wood...DAVID WOLFE: slick/truthfull...organic farming

[Guest guest]

Geez, everyone! It took me this long to catch up with everyone's posts since

Saturday! I'm glad we got through it all alive, but it's such a shame to see

Elchanan go. So now that everything's relatively calm I'd like to ask Paula

about what she stated:

" Conventionally grown food is so lacking minerals that much of it is actually

acidic. Although organic foods are 50 to 400 percent higher in vitamins and and

minerals than their conventionally grown counter parts, they are still lacking

the abundance of nutrients that were available even 20 years ago. "

- Has this been found to be the case even though organic farmers replenish the

soil and test its nutrient levels???

Thanks!

Thank you, Denise, for your sane remarks.

Nature's First Law does tend to gouge a little when they price things, and until

there is more competition he will be able to do so. Opening up a wholesale

account is a great idea! There is always a way around a situation if a person

chooses to 'think out of the box'. The people that created Nature's First Law

were pioneers in bringing hard to find, quality raw food items to the masses.

They should be blessed for that.

On the topic of " To Supplement or Not " : We live in a toxic world. Our soil is

vastly depleted. Most of us came to eat raw foods because we were presented with

'health opportunities'. Mine was cancer. For some it may be IBS, Arthritis, or

Obesity, etc. Whatever the reason our bodies were calling out for HEALTH! A few

of the reasons a diet of 80 to 100 percent living foods is so healing is because

of the life force in the food and also the vitamins and minerals it provides our

bodies. Minerals, most especially, alkalize and aid the body in almost every

function. For instance, to digest our food we need sodium to produce

Hydrochloric Acid (HCL). If our bodies can not obtain enough organic sodium to

produce HCL from our diet it will take calcium as a second choice. If we are not

consuming enough calcium (and I think we all know that this is not obtained by

eating dairy as we've been brainwashed to think) through diet, our body will

remove it from our bones.

Conventionally grown food is so lacking minerals that much of it is actually

acidic. Although organic foods are 50 to 400 percent higher in vitamins and and

minerals than their conventionally grown counter parts, they are still lacking

the abundance of nutrients that were available even 20 years ago.

Those of us with these 'health opportunities' usually come to living foods as a

last resort. We need our health back and we need it fast! Drastic measures must

be taken. Taking as many high quality supplements as you can afford, along with

the living foods diet is one of the quickest ways. Even quicker is a high

quality cleanse (I've always used Arise and Shine), along with high quality

supplements and the living foods diet. If you feel you can't allocate funds for

supplements and cleansing, drinking as much fresh organic juice as possible will

aid your body in achieving the level of health you desire. When I first started

raw almost 3 years ago, I drank a gallon a day. Include lots of celery (high in

organic sodium) and dark greens. Also include a lot of sprouts in your diet.

They are very healing and SO INEXPENSIVE! They are also very easy to grow. You

could also learn about foraging for wild foods as they have massive nutrients

and goodies that does the body

good.

You see, there are many choices. Pick the path that is right for you and stand

by it. Adapt when it is not working for you. Simple

So, back to the David Wolfe thing ... he is a businessman fulfilling a need. And

he also seems to be a dedicated teacher of raw foods and health.

OK, I'm done..... To your health!
