Eric's Raw Food Success Story Part 1

[okrabay]

no way raw food will turn you into a lanky boney little freak

meat rules!!!!!!!!

[FiKeppe]

it's just not a heath revolution !!!!!!!!!!

[wisesakura]

RAWvolution!!!

[hardsixteenyeah1]

@Arnoldsway I totally agree with you. But ... What happens if you're a physically handicapped person who is living with another persons who disagree and refuse to eat, to live this way? It's a sort of torture, but nobody think about it, don't you think, Arnold What can we do then? I'd like to change so much, really, but it becomes very very dificult job to follow. Believe me.

[Scientologee]

did you just compare eating meat to Heroin?

[tickyul]

And tommorrow for dinner I will have a stir fry in honor of all Veganculters. The stir fry will consist of one pound of bacon, one small onion, purple cabbage.

[hardsixteenyeah1]

@tickyul Excuses but, that's what I call: "To have a real foul temper. He's just trying to share his experience and his way of thinking.You're not obliged to follow what he's explain here if you don't want to. Come on, there's no need to be that way, man/woman.

[tickyul]

@Changeling2011 Ok, I just see a lot of Veganculters who look like death warmed over.

[tickyul]

Uh, I prefer my animal cooked, gives it more flavor. As for the rest, I eat some raw and some cooked. Nuts are easier to digest if either roasted or soaked in water.

[Sharinganknight1]

FAKER

[4swzb]

I am 56 years of age and with your inspiration i am now committed to give this idea a try...thanks for the post...namaste

[indigobeauty1]

Amazing video!!! thank you for sharing. i agree once we all as a WHOLE stop creating the negative karma of killing animals, which are living breathing creation until humans decide to evade their freedom. the funny thing is many americans can eat animals, but not many can kill and skin the animals themselves. 1LOVE!!!

[shootingpegstar]

I totally agree, I love raw beef.

[youaredyu44]

I thought we would be like the Garden of Eden when I heard about raw and decided to try it :) Cool vid, and to person under this comment, he has 'saggy' boobs because he lost heaps of weight so his skin is sagging from the strech, the fat did to him ;)

[obdami]

He has man boobs. Is that what happens when you eat raw food?

[tickyul]

@obdami If this guy is supposed to look healthy, wow. I am not trying to personally attack him, looks like an extra on the set of Night of the Living dead.

[FreeUpYourMind]

thanks so much for posting this video. You have a beautiful message : )

[rachelkkh]

This is great! Thanks so much.

[VedicAwakening]

Eric is so right. Cooked food is addictive. I felt hungry all the time when I went raw. It didn't matter how much I ate. I would later realized that cooked food is addictive and that's why I was craving it.

[bone32man]

Raw is the way to go.

[Mongodelight]

it would be the Garden of Eden in comparrison to that we have now

[bixntram]

Oh, c'mon, Eric. You're right about not eating animals, but the rest of it is nonsense. Garden of Eden, the Revolution is coming? Hey, I wasn't even that delusional in the 'sixties!  Yeah, we'll get rid of all those nasty old corporations. And no one in the raw food world is making a penny of profit, right? Listen, I'm interested in learning about raw foods, but eating raw is not going to get rid of Greed, Hatred and Delusion in the human race. Sorry about that.

[rawteachr]

For now it is just a personal revolution, but if enough people want to look and feel the way a human was born to look and feel, then it will become a global revolution.

Our individual choices create the world we live in. Our individual dreams create the dream of the world we live in. Change your thoughts and your actions and the world will change around you.

[sn9696]

i some what disagree with you bixntram,,people dont relize eatting junk like lot a of meat,MC D'S,Wendys,Frozen dinners, etc,causes you to be more of a left brain thinker,the result is a bunch of Bureaucracy BS we see today in our society !

[utubeworldwide]

How about muscle loss? Can you weightlift on this diet? Thank you!

[Mongodelight]

If ur eating much protein fruits and nuts and high amounts of dark green leafy vegetables you can set world records in weightlifting. The Gorilla diet. The Gorilla lifts 3600 lbs at bench pressing, i am eating similar to the Gorilla.

[tickyul]

@Mongodelight Haha, Gorillas eat bugs, eggs, and small game...including monkeys....yikers. You see, we should be eating what man evolved on, mainly meat and veggies.

[Mongodelight]

the most painful thing u can go through is waiting. It sucks. I want to die

[antiann52]

Are you serious?

[AlanKeyes2]

Waiting for what ?

[tildarion]

Because you used to eat the bad shit for you , its not because you went " raw".

PUT THE DAMN FORK DOWN IF YOU WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT.

you used to eat what, a 24 pack of triple chocolate dipped doughnuts before you "went raw"?

[tickyul]

@tildarion What you got against donuts sucka.

[Joyfulness1]

Very well said Eric! Isn't it nice to know the way to real health for ourselves and our planet. The Garden of Eden or life in the garden is our heritage, and it is nice to know that we are making our way back to nature. We may fall but now we are truely having our eyes open to the knowledge of God or the gods, of good(health) and evil(illness).

[Shortstory123]

WOW! You covered alot of territory in this video. Thank you for all the great information, I really appreaciate it and am ready to do more for my health just after listening to you. Very, very inspiring. Thanks again.

[Fearless2005]

GOOD VID!

[rimeg]

dear rawteachr you are building our paradise and eating the fruits thereof. We did not have people like you around when we left the Garden of Eden but thank Goddess we have people like you around so we can reenter the Garden.Thank you for GardenofEdenizing our planet...

[qst300]

In many ways, you look pretty healthy and certainly relative to other people your age - what exercise do you do?

[rawteachr]

I am in the sign business, which keeps me moving throughout the day, but I have no regular form of exercise. I do have a 15 year old dog who I walk about 2 hours a day (He is a raw carnivore).

[Marjanehjoonam]

Thank you for the inspiration. For some very odd reason, I put on heaps and as of Christmas day, have been almost vegan. 'Having seen your video, I've remembered that every single one of my favourite dishes is raw. so, I'm going to give it a go for a month first and then maybe 'cheat' only once a week.

Thanks for your video.

[rawteachr]

Good Luck!!! Everything has a price. The price for true health is the will to create new habits.

[Marjanehjoonam]

Thanks!!! It's wonderful. I did 'cheat' a bit , but am not too bothered about it at this stage.

I've been playing with veggies, making juliennes, also using a peeler to make long, thin strips of carrots, that sort of thing.

Some veggies seem to just 'cook' themselves in olive oil.

I'm having great fun, and I love the taste and colours and above all your beautiful idea of having beautiful fruit trees all over the world.

Thank you again. I know that you are well.;)

[Verlch]

Raw fish is good, without mercury in it. Other than that, unless there is no pulse or fruit around, than eat meat.

[rawteachr]

Sorry Verich, but the lifestyle I am living has no raw fish or meat. We are Raw Vegans. No Animal products at all. We do not eat the rotting flesh of our friends the animals. We are eating a primates natural diet of fruit and green leafy vegetables, and a few nuts and seeds.

[rawsomechef]

What a powerful statement you so succinctly make.

Truth and conviction is clearly conveyed as you clearly see you vision and send forth your rawsome message and hope for all on this hurting planet.

This is the real rawk'n road to healing and happiness.

Merry Xmas and thank you from my raw-felt heart!

[rawteachr]

Thank you rawsomechef. Many thousands of years ago, with the aid of fire and tools, mankind made a wrong turn out of the garden of eden. We have been growing old and frail and ill ever since. But now the truth is out. We have what EVERYBODY wants. Health, beauty, strength and youth. It will happen faster than you think. One day mankind will awaken to the truth.

Happy holidays and a RAWSOME new year.

[thrivesurvive]

I completely agree with you on all counts. I share your vision and I hope one day the world will change with us.

[rawteachr]

The world is changing, and raw people will be the ones who can take the heat, literally , and survive it. I have much more strength and stamina than when I was cooked, And I can take hot humid weather without any problems. We will inherit the earth. Nature always corrects its mistakes.

[SiltcoosStina]

You're an excellent spokesperson for this. You glow with vitality and your clarity of mind speaks well of Raw.

[rawteachr]

Thank You !

[JackNeedles]

And "global warming" is a scam for the central banks to push a global carbon tax on all of us, which none of was want.

[JackNeedles]

Great video, but I disagree with you about "global warming." It's actually called climate change and carbon dioxide output causes more plants to grow, thus making the air much more cleaner. There are climate changes, but its natural and it is not caused by man--although we do abuse the earth. Planet x in our solar system is causing the climate change.

[rawteachr]

Planet x ?? wtf? The conspiracy is the meat companies and the junk food companies and the pesticide companies and the oil companies and the drug companies and the advertisers and and and and ... all of these bogus companies selling us crap, and saying everything is ok, and will always be ok. It is not OK.

[exxodus29]

You are absolutely right! All of these billion dollar companies especially the pharmaceutical and food industry are directly responsible for many of the health problems that plague this nation. Our country is spending billions fighting the war on terror in Iraq. When some of the biggest terrorist are right here in the U.S.

[catty591]

Hi,the raw teacher, I've been on raw for 3 weeks now, the first week is great, but then, by the 8th day, I had a temperature and I've to go home early from my work. Today is the 25th and the 26th of October, 2007, I am having a temperature again and I am feeling weak, is this process called 'retracing' or it this a detox symptom? Will it be gone, like a phase or is my bidy not suitable for raw food ?

[rawteachr]

probably detoxing. I had similar symptoms for the first three months or so. toxins are pulled from the flesh into the blood to be excreted, causing discomfort in the meantime. stick with it, it will pass. eat fruit and green leafy vegetables, not much nuts.

[kimmijo]

i've noticed that my hair grows faster

[B0thergirl]

Eat healthier, eat from all the food groups and eat as fresh as possible. Stay away from fast foods and bad fats. Some foods have to be cooked to reap all thier benifits like tomatoes. Raw food eating is just another fad.

[rawteachr]

If you experienced the healing that raw foods provides you would not call it a fad. I do not share this to make money. I share it because it ended decades of suffering for me.

[rawteachr]

Meat fish chicken and dairy cause heart disease and cancer. Read the book "The China Study" by T. Colin Campbell, Or "Preventing and Reversing Heart Disease" by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn.

[exxodus29]

I disagree. Many people don't realize that the four food groups pyramid is heavily influenced by big food manufactuers. And it is not a good guide when trying to eat healthy. If I had anything to do with it, animal products and junk food wouldn't even make the list. Fruits and vegetables should be at the base of the pyramid.

[B0thergirl]

As soon as you pick fruits and veg they starts dying. By the time you get it from the market you can't call it living. With acid rain and air pollution and treated water you can't truly grow produce without chemicals. Farmers would have to sterilize the soil and only water with distilled water. Fat chance.

[rawteachr]

Plant the seeds from these 'dying' fruits and guess what, a seedling starts to grow. That is the life force that heals you if you eat only living things.

[exxodus29]

You are terribly misinformed and almost naive. If you take a raw apple and a baked apple and put them on the window sill the raw apple will outlive the cooked one for weeks. Yes, both fruit will eventually rot. But the cooked one begins to decay almost immediately. Our bodies are alive and requires living nutrition to function at it's best. If you don't believe that, fine. But don't try to discourage someone else.

[rawfoodgirl3]

Eric,

Thanks for the great video!

[rawkhaz]

I loved this video! Is there a part2? How did you start being consistent? Thanks

[rawteachr]

I was 100% raw for the first 6 months or so. This gave my body the time to go through major healing, Which I will never give up. It is just a mental battle between the desires of your mind and the true needs of your body. Read the 4 agreements by don miguel ruiz to prepare yourself for the journey to raw food freedom.

[thatoneguyonline]

Great video!

[wwood14]

If we were all raw foodists we would have to start migrating with the seasons. Large populations could not be sustained in places where winter is hard. Actually, I suspect man is a natural migrating being. We all should be walking much more than we do..

[beejenny38]

Could you tell me how you get protein in your diet. I've been almost raw for months, but at times I'm weak until I get some protein. Usually a good soy based drink. And nuts. Do you eat nuts? Thanks for the help. Jenny

[avavrek]

soaked nuts work quite well for me...

really enjoy soaked raw cashews and almonds myself.

[rawteachr]

Hi Jenny,

Protein is the building block of all life. It is present in all life. If your hair and nails are growing, you have enough protein. I eat few nuts. I do green smoothies, and eat lots of greens. Green leafy vegetables are the best source of protein and minerals. Read Green For Life, by Victoria Boutenko. I eat about 16 pieces of fruit each day, plus green smoothies and salad. If you are feeling loss of energy, you are not getting enough calories.

[exxodus29]

I think it's important that you realize that the body does not need a lot of protein. Protein is one of those nutrients that's been heavily exaggerated by nutritionist. You can get all the protien you need from green vegetables and raw nuts in moderation. The propaganda that you need meat to get protein is just another tactic by the meat industry to sell their products.

[tickyul]

@exxodus29 Try Googling Kwashiorkor and then get back to me. I would fall apart without my precious organ meats.

[tickyul]

@beejenny38 Wow, you are weak and still doing the Veganculter diet..........or...........may­be you are croaked by now?????
