Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Hi Heather, Have you tried your library? I went that route, so I could read lots and figure out which ones I wanted to buy. Different ones are going to resonate with different people at different times. Are you looking for any particular type of information? Do you want recipes? Natural Hygiene info (www.livingnutrition.com has a good selection)? You can also check the web sites of some of the authors first, to see if you think you'll like what they have to say (www.fredericpatenaude.com, www.foodnsport.com, www.alissacohen.com, etc.).

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Hello: If you are looking for books on raw food nutrition, cooking, lifestyle, etc., you can check out the list website's database on books.: rawfood/database I have read most of the books on that list, and most of the books have comments from whoever posted them, so you can get a fair idea of what is good.

Okay, let's go with this one... you still need to know the books that people have read and liked... go to the list website and look at the database of books. Then go to a Borders or a Barnes and Noble and look at the books they have there. If you feel particularly attracted to a title, whether or not you can find it in a bookstore, check it out on www.amazon.com... very often they have used or remaindered books at much lower prices than what you would find in the bookstores (I have gotten the majority of my raw food books- including big name/ultra-pricy/designer books for as much as half-price, or even far less -- most for less than half price!!!)

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Thankyou for all the pointers on where to start. I have ordered three books, and want to get Alissa Cohen, but I can't order from Canada, and Ebay people aren't shipping here either.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Heather, there is a LOT of very sloppy science (wishful thinking) in the raw world, but the truth is in there too. I'm still seperating fact from idealistic fantasy. I suppose if I could have only one book... make that two books, I'd choose: Eat To Live http://drfuhrman.com/weightloss/about.aspx & The RAVE Diet http://ravediet.com/ordernu.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Hey Margaret - I have a friend who was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. They came to me and asked me for some help. Which book would you suggest would be good for someone who eats very poorly - SAD. They have never considered raw - but see me and my husband and now they want some help. Which book would be a simple transition?

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Hi Judy, This isn't exactly what you're asking for, but I'm wondering if you have seen Audrey Walker's web site (www.rawhealing.com)? She tells the story of how she healed herself from CFS, fibromyalgia and more with raw. It's very inspirational. Might be good for your friend to see at some point. She is also a raw food coach.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 You should be able to order Alyssa Cohen's book on amazon.com from Canada Margaret rawfood , Heather May <heatmay wrote: > > Thankyou for all the pointers on where to start.

In my experience, people with CFS have candidiasis and experience relief when they follow a candidiasis elimination protocol. The best book on candidiasis that I have ever seen remains Dr. William G. Crooks' The Yeast Connection Handbook (there have been others, but this remains the best -- most others draw on the information in this book anyway) This book is useful for anyone who is interested in eliminating candida... the " inclusion " lists hold true whether you are raw vegan, raw, vegan, vegetarian, or SAD. It is useful for those transitioning from SAD to a more healthful diet, particularly since it *is* aimed at folks still on cooked and still eating meat.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 They only have books from a private vendor and he/she won't ship up here. It is the same person who is selling them on ebay. I may just have it sent to my in-laws in WY. I can pick it up during christmas.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 What does anyone know about green tea? I heard this big production on green tea plus and you can go to their website - wwwgreenteaplus.com and get their product. I don't do caffeine at all. Anyone do green tea or decaffeinated green tea with benefits?

I still drink non-raw tea, both white & green, and the occasional black. My personal opinion is that all the popular consumer rage now is on finding the single food with the highest level of nutrients (anti- oxidants, phytochemicals, etc) in order to sell that product. I truly believe that those eating raw do not need any extra " nutrients " as they are getting them from their salads & smoothies as opposed to, say, twinkies ;>) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Green tea is my little 'guilty pleasure'-- but I don't feel very guilty about it, actually. I have it every morning in the form of a green tea chai (Yogi Tea makes it) that I love. My husband swishes a tiny pinch of cayenne in it, rings a little Japanese singing bowl and ceremoniously delivers it to me-- it's our little Zen tea ceremony. I love green tea because for me it has a real clean taste and a light 'kick,' and I know it has properties in it that are good for you. Instinctively I just feel like it's a good fit for me, and having had coffee in the past, I notice a big difference. Green tea doesn't affect my nerves and pancreas as coffee seems to, and it leaves a delightful clean taste in my mouth afterwards, unlike coffee.
