Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Hi Everybody, I went to this raw food talk 3 times this weekend. Went on Fri.night, Sat.night and Sun.afternoon. Today it's 6 weeks that I'm 100% raw. I'm feeling so good. I keep on getting compliments on my skin. Anwyays, here's my notes. Matt Monarch spoke first. Matt is 31 years old but looks like 25. Matt has a website called www.Rawspirit.org Here's my notes from Matt's talk: Matt said his goal is not to convert people to 100% raw but you can leave out refined sugar and processed starches. The refined sugar is like cookies, brownies,etc. The processed starches are like white rice, pasta, etc. Said the animal protein is acid and that you should leave out red meat. Said to stay away from cow products. They are mucous forming. Said goat products are better but Matt stays away from goats products, too. Matt's main point is: " What you leave out without CHEATING is the way to ultimate health. " It will give you longevity and increased energy. There are spiritual benefits in becoming raw. You will be receptive to spiritual vibration. Then Matt talks about colonics. He does the gravity method. Said colonics is like a glorified enema. Said that everybody should get a series of 6 colonics and then one every 6 months after you are cleaned out. Said the machines are good, too. Matt talks about Fred Bisci. Fred is his business partner and he 75 years old. Dr.Fred is 40 years raw. Said if Dr.Fred would eat a hamburger he would be dead and Matt has been 100% raw for 6 years and if he would eat a hamburger he would become real ill. Matt said he juices twice a day. Around 12 to 12:30 pm for his first juice and then later in the day. Mentioned about Dr.Norman Walker who lived to 118 years old. Dr.Walker did colonics and juiced and took no multi-vitamins. Matt said he went 100% raw after reading Dr.Norman Walker's book called " Become Younger " . Matt uses the Norwalk juicer. It's $1,500. Another good juicer is the " Greenstar " juicer. It's under $400. Matt was saying that we need to alkalize our system with greens. Matt likes romaine lettuce and carrots together and it tastes like chocolate. Anyways, what Matt says " what you leave out, without CHEATING " is the way to ultimate health. You also should do the colonics and also do the juicing every day. Then your blood becomes cleaner and cleaner and you will become younger. The longer you are 100% raw the more you will become sensitive to foods rapidly. You will be pure and clean like a baby. The psychological and emotional issues will surface. Matt said it's dangerous to yo-yo back and forth from 100% raw to American Standard diet. Said some people may have hair loss. Those people probably ate alot of fruit. Said to eat fat and alot of greens and you won't have that problem. Now the other speaker was Angela Stokes. Angela lost 150 lbs.from 300 lbs. Angela is 28 years old and was from England. Angela has a website called www.rawreform.com and it's existed for 2 1/2 years. Angela lost 105 lbs.the 1st year and was 70% raw. The last 1 1/2 year Angela is 100% raw. Angela said she was ill all the time. Was on 15 medications at one time. In the year 2000 she had a diabetes scale but it came out negative. Angela said she was on thryoid medicine for 13 years. Now she's off the medicine and she eats alot of seaweed and kelp tablets. Angela gave her 10 TOP Tips: 1. I don't say to people to go 100% raw. Go 50% raw at first. You don't have to know everything at once. Said to eat more vegetables by weight and not volume. 2. Think of it as a lifestyle instead of a diet. It's about choices. Said don't say " I'm not allowed to eat bread. " Say " I don't choose to eat bread. " 3. Detox happens when you get the bad stuff out of your food plan. Don't turn back when you get runny nose,asthma, flem in your throat, etc. That's all part of detox. Don't fall off the bandwagon. All the old stuff is coming out of your system and you will be helping yourself in the long run. You won't have degenerative diseases. 4. Candada (yeast) Angela said she had candida real bad. Her digestive system was comprised. Angela ate alot of the high glycemic fruits like dates and figs. Said she now eats cherries and berries since they are lower glycemic fruits. Said probiotics, aloe vera and green juices really helped her digestive system and now it's in balance. Oh,sugar feeds yeast. 5. One green drink a day. That's green juice or you can do green smoothies or green pudding. Also if you are traveling you can take a green powder. 6. Learn a few basic recipes on the raw food plan. About 7 to 10 recipes. Take it slowly. Take the pressure off yourself. 7. Skin brushing. The skin is the biggest elimination organ. Your skin does regenerate but it's a slow proess. Skin brush every day before you take a shower. Said infured saunas are good and hot-cold showers are also good. Said sulfur vegetables are good like cucumbers, celery, parsley and green pepper. Also MSM caps are the richest organic sulphurs. There's also a MSM lotion. 8. Lunch is Angela's main meal. Angela says that she first eats at 11:30 am. Says she starts off with a green juice and then she eats lunch around 1 pm. Said she eats mixed salads and or a big salad. Said the latest she eats is 7 pm. Also said she doesn't eat nuts or seeds at night. 9. Social changes can be scary and isolating. It's challenging to be raw. 10. Feed the change. Be a living example but don't convert other people. Said if she can do it anyone can. Well, that's all for now. Hope you all liked my summary. Have a good evening. Janice from Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 That is really interesting. I am just starting my raw journey but so far it is all good. I don't understand, why would a hamburger kill Dr.Fred? I would have thought his body would have an exceptional immune system? rawfood , " Janice " <jabberjan152 wrote: > > Hi Everybody, I went to this raw food talk 3 times this weekend. > Went on Fri.night, Sat.night and Sun.afternoon. > > Today it's 6 weeks that I'm 100% raw.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Thanks for sharing. Matt Monarch was close to where I live recently (about 2 hours away) but I was unable to attend. I did make it to a talk from the director of the Hippocrates Institute here in Florida but went away with mixed feelings. I think if I had not already been raw I wouldn't have made the plunge. I'm not sure why but I just got a weird feeling about the whole thing. Maybe I need to explore my feelings about it a little more and then share my thoughts. Anyway, thank you. I enjoyed reading your notes!

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 You'd think that as bad as some of us felt when first going raw, and detoxing, that we would never go back. Also the good feeling we get after the detoxing is over should make us want to stay raw forever, because once you slip up, it makes you feel bad too. Maybe it's like people who have other addictive habits. No matter how bad they feel when they over use, or come down from a high, they still continue to use. Now my problem is, that I am on a fixed income, have a disability, and usually run out of raw before I get paid. TV dinners are cheaper than fresh fruits and vegetables.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 This is also the main reason I have trouble being 100% raw. I have a very tight budget as well and beans & grains are so cheap (even the organics) and filling. I don't have any problem staying vegan or staying away from processed foods but I can't seem to afford to be completely raw yet.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 I think the best thing for a raw budget diet would be sprouts- super nutritious, and you can make them yourself from beans, grains and seeds! Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 What sprouts are a good starter as far as milder taste goes? Is there a site/chart you can lead me to that may give me an idea? Thanks so much Jane Edenfield boxers1 On Sep 4, 2006, at 8:12 AM, lightcondor wrote: > I think the best thing for a raw budget diet would be sprouts- super > nutritious, and you can make them yourself from beans, grains and > seeds! > Terr > > > __._,_._ >>>> . > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
