Hi All, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2287767/Two-month-old-baby-boy-killed-cold-sore-virus-loving-kiss-father.html I realize that it’s the most outrageous headlines that get attention for mainstream media outlets these days, and this one was probably written with that goal in mind. In a sane world, we might hope that through their audacity the media have pushed the masses into questioning their veracity. That probably is happening to some small degree (look at the rise in popularity of ‘alternative’ news sources),...

I’ve received some feedback from my last blog entry that indicates further clarification is needed on the topic of breakfast eating.  It has been pointed out to me that people all over the world eat first thing in the morning!  Apparently this is thought by some to constitute evidence that breakfast eating is a natural and healthy habit.  In truth, all it reveals is that unhealthful habits that are practiced...

For anyone wanting to acquire the best health possible, recovery from addictive eating patterns is an absolute necessity.  There's no greater indication that a person is still shackled by addiction than regular breakfast eating.  Accounting for how the breakfast habit originally came about in our culture is as simple as understanding that withdrawal is uncomfortable, and that 'hair of the dog' always brings relief.  Nothing feels better to a person in coffee...

Hi All, Many of you may be members of Loren Lockman’s Facebook Group “Getting Out of the Way w/ Loren” and have been enjoying his videos on YouTube. If not, I highly recommend both Loren and his group as a source of information and inspiration to aspiring raw fooders. A few months ago, Loren sent out a letter that explained all the recent happenings at his fasting retreat, Tanglewood Wellness...

Hi All, Someone emailed me after reading my “best raw foods” chart and asked me whether I had any documentation to back up the assertion that green peppers are unripe. I sent him a few links, and he sent me a link to a video, which answered his question in the best possible way: . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKK8_ydzYNQ . I thought the video linked below was interesting and revealing. Just last weekend...

Recently during a coaching session I was asked to name the one thing that helped me the most toward my recovery from food addiction. Without doubt the one intellectual idea I’ve learned that helped me the most is that food addiction is an extremely powerful force. When people want to escape other addictions in our culture, they can get help. There exists a social safety net for people who recognize the harm...

Recently a question about water drinking was posed on my public forum, and I thought the answer might make a good blog topic.  Basically, the inquirer wanted to know if humans are naturally adapted to water drinking, since he'd heard of raw fooders giving up or cutting back on the water they drink, and he himself had noticed he had less desire to drink water as he has added more raw...

Hello fellow raw fooders and aspiring health seekers!

Here’s how it works: If you have previously entered your email address to receive blog updates...

Recently at the Woodstock Fruit Festival, I attended a class entitled "Do Raw Fooders Need to Eat Greens?", hoping that the instructor, (who I knew to be hygiene-friendly) would answer the question using factual evidence and common sense rather than the normal speculation and fear-mongering.  I was disappointed.  Although the speaker acknowledged that the taste buds are the sentinels of the body and need to be respected, he nevertheless propagated the standard advice to...

I was interviewed last week on a local (Seattle) radio show about dogs.  The information is focussed on dogs and dog nutrition, but there was a great deal of discussion around the principles of natural hygiene and the importance of removing the cause of disease rather than covering it up with herbs, supplements, drugs or homeopathics.    http://www.dogtalkshow.com/podcasts/  Enjoy!
