when god made us he gave us everything we need to sustain ourselves, in nature in the form of fruits and vegtables, its really true, im a trucker, and i tried this for six weeks, on the road, water fasts, fruits and veggies, only, i lost 32 lbs, i had plenty of energy, i slept better, i was never hungry, i still need to loose 100 lbs more, but you are correct it so easy , after a few days , all you want is fresh veggies and water and fruits, i want to get as healthy as you, you are very fit,
hii just wondering since your into the raw foodist thing i just wanted to know have you checked out Aajonus Vonderplanitz he is a raw foodist too only different :)
Thankyou Dan! I hope this is not your last show, just a pauase of your show but if it is i can see you taught people well. I am not 100% Raw but I want to be so I am going to find more recepies and expand my knowledge about it as well. I think you are on the right track of living life. You really inspired me =) thank you so much!! Michelle
Your videos are full of awesome information. Keep spreading the information around! The world needs to know. No matter how difficult it will be to get to people because of their lack of knowledge, their inborn habits taught by their own parents and society, I believe that one person at a time, we will change the world.
this totally sounds good.i think sodas and junk food, meat does slow u down ..i always have more energy if i stay away from the fatty foods.i even think beter ..im going to try your syatem and see how i like it..i have to have energy or i feel like crap
I have gotten myself in a shape for years eating fast foods, and now i am in transition with raw juices and fruits. This weekend i had good compliments on my complexion and skin ,saying it looked better than it has in a long time. So far no weight loss but i know it is coming, i think it is due to the bad choices of foods i was eating. I am proud to have a good friend like Dan to share with me good info since nothing else has helped....so i will continue to watch these videos...love 2 love ya
I've been raw for a year, and just finished a ten day juice feast, then a few days of really simple mono-meals and salads... Then today I hosted a raw food potluck. Oh man! I'm so sick! I guess the combination or amount of fat was just a shock to my system... so, I know how you feel after your raw gourmet tour... I really didn't connect it until today, but all of a sudden my sinuses are clogged and I feel like I have a bad cold. Fruits and veggies is where it's at!
what about the big problem now hybrid plants??? still having life regenerating properties? im sure we dont know all the things that a veg contains, only what scientists recognise, and they may be 500 things short.. there may be a secret thing that life needs that this g.m seed hasnt got. and it wouldnt supprise me if it hasnt, look in depth at cows milk now, its got no calcium, its a struggle, vit and min supplies are low in the soil, spread the mins from volcanic dust on ya soil farmers 4 us..
sorry hemp was planted around chernobyl well not enough of it it seems now people born with 3 heads upsets me, also 3 headed fish and lets not forget millions of people murdered for the wrong cause in rewanda, bosnia, papa new bloody as we speak.. so big up people fighting for the cause of life itself and not only life extension..
Lots of people are freaked out by not eating, and so much comes up. It would be a great time to cover/reaffirm techniques that support fasting, relaxation, and release. We just can't get enough of you Dan!
It sounds like you want to take a break from videos, while you are fasting, (after your bike trip) is that true? I would (selfishly) encourage you to keep on making them. I think a lot of your fans are ready for a weekly 24-36 hour water fast themselves. And the weekly, shorter fasts are good preparation for the longer ones, don't you think? And with you by our side, it would be so much better! ...
i listen to your videos everyday because its difficult for me at times to stay on track. your information gives strength to continue on this journey. peace and blessings.
Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day,and raw veggies and stuff,with like 4 hrs of exercise a day you could probably loose up to 2-5 pounds per week,and thats big. Don't over do it though! :P
Just to add a little note about leafy greens... stinging nettle is very nutritious and it's totally free and organic if you find it growing around you. Also, the more that you cut it back, the more that it grows, so no worries about depleting the supply. It's also fun because it's one of those rare raw foods that can bite you back!!!
sharks and tigers arnt raw foodists dude..does anyone know if a gm carrot has the same properties as a true carrot? we cant say enough people, this bad food not only causes cancer but cant fix it either, dont be a statistic which will soon be one in 2 getting cancer soon, emf waves passing through us isnt a big deal if ya get juicing, just ad one a day get with the programme, caqn you dig it?
Haha!! Maybe thinking would do you good, loiuslestat123... I would have thought a vampire fan would appreciate that carnivores are ALL "raw foodists", except man... RAW = NOT COOKED. Ever seen a fish try to cook underwater? The darn grill keeps going out! Haha!
well you caught me out there on both counts daniel due to a bottle o raw grapes with a hint of science, your certainly with the programme, and sure, i reckon we all have incisors for that very purpous, ripping raw meat, mine a little bigger than usual, but maybe it tastes so discusting to us that we really shouldnt be eating any meats even though bible encourages it, we all know the contradictions there, i will endevour to find that amongst fish schools and families, that they also cook...hahaha
OK. Umm... I wasn't actually intending to saying that man is a carnivore. Sorry, my lazy language. Blatantly we are omnivores... sorry fruitarians, vegans... it is clear we can and do do alright eating meat. Not ideal but we would be dead up North without wooly mammoths n fish!
Still, the juices of sprouted green seeds n nuts is ideal! Plenty of plant fats there. Tis a pity sprouting is such a drag in colder climes.
Anybody got info on dehydrated sprouts, how long they keep, how good they are?
well im not so sure we do very well on meat well esp pork with it close genetically to us and degenerative to our tissues, also having shared disease with a human and taking 3 days to digest, so they say.. anyway ive tried to give up all pork but its heavier than i realised, no more spam, ham salad sandwhices il cheat on, but gammon, sausage, pork pies, salami and pepp pizza, but how damaging some food really just look at the structure of margarine, its basically plastc, even mould cant grow on
The best food is spirulina, cracked chlorella, seaweed [that heals radiation sickness!] and juices of well sprouted green nuts n seeds n beans. Combine ana branco' style juicing with Spring Forest Chi Kung and you can't fail to do well.
Tip: YIN YANG WATER. split water into 50/50.Chill half to 4 C, boil other half.. add at 100 c to cold half. swirl and drink! Magic Proton power!!!
loving this very detailed stuff, where do i go for this? you tube or the web, not sure about the water thing although im about to do some colliadal silver flushing, seaweed eh? i heard hemp was the only plant on the planet that absorbs radiation actually thrives on it, but i know seaweed is very good and prob pulls all toxins out of the body, i heard juicing a veg can get up to 90% into your blood where chewing only released up to 10%? lots to be learned but i feel fanastic lately, no fatigue
Thank you Dan for telling me all the time to love myself....because I know this is really the KEY to get this raw-thing going. Thank you for being such an ENDLESS source of motivation. It really makes something CLICK when I struggle....
OK I wrote a long post but youtube wiped it so I will be brief:
Q1: Fructose has been getting a bad rap. See Hyperlipid [a pro-fat nutrition blog!] for links to papers. Dr Mercola says we should eat less than 15g of fructose a day! That is less than 5 clementines! Holy Mama! Some people have yeast problems so should they at least stick to that limit?
Q2: Many people say that fruit catches up in the guts with slower digesting food and causes bad fermentation... so they avoid eating fruit after anything else in any given day.
Dr Mercola also wrote "The other point to consider that was not emphasized in my interview or comment is that the danger decreases enormously if you consume the sugars immediately prior, during or after exercise because they will then be directly consumed for fuel and not metabolized with negative consequences." Ain't that the truth.
"The research found that fruit was okay except when over-ripe when its antioxidant qualities dropped and its fructose levels increased. Wild animals need to eat fruit in the autumn to put on weight to see them over the winter famine ... what seems less understood is the rapidity that eating fruit increases weight. Jam and preserve makers know that the best time to use fruit is when it is just under-ripe when it is then packed with antioxidants and the final product tastes delicious."
If it's so scary, why do you give it to your son? Kids can't digest that stuff better than we can! I'm sorry for messing in your life, but I would look for 1000000 other possibities than cows milk for my child, before I let them drink that :( It is of course your choice xxx peace :)
@RawLifeWorld My GF told her friend recently about her diet changes and the first thing she said to my girl is, "what are you gonna do for milk?" Go figure.
Chilii peppers. So far I haven't see anyone use them in their juice. Peppers do open sweat pores , nasal sinus, kills parasites. I haven't gotten into juices yet, more vegetarian. Am moving towards raw foods, then juicing, Doing this slowly. It's hard visiting relatives that think a meal is bacon eggs, beef stew, meatballs. I am cleaning my shelves of canned foods. I am lightly steaming some veg. like root vegetables. As a senior my stomach has to get use to change. Not shock the system.
He said the more comments we make on here the better for his ratings on youtube. He also said for us to continue to answer each other's questions. Did I misunderstand. If Dan is upset, he knows all he has to do it to tell either one of us to cut it out and we would stop. What do you think
Yep....maybe we provided him some entertainment. I'll have you know I rented a movie tonight to watch and didn't just because you dragged me into this........grrr. It is "Double Identity", and I rented it to watch with my mom. She went to bed frustrated with me for not watching it with her....ha.
@ravendream33, sorry :) - you and I are both the argumentative types. That can be a curse. We enjoy being challenged and rise to the occasion. I sometimes think I was meant to have been born a warrior with a sword. I will remind you thought, that you replied first to my comment and challenged my point of view - so who dragged who? :)
@Ishkiia, lighten up. It's not disrespectful. Part of why people make videos is to stimulate thought. Someone will get something out of this conversation. It is important to discuss these things. I have a very strong personality. This is me. Raven is also a strong personality and this is how she and I discuss things. If it's too much for you, ignore it. Your opinion that I need to do this in PM is of no more value than my opinion that this is an open forum.
That could be just juicing raw fruits and veggies but if its the one I'm thinking of that is very popular in the health community is the Master Cleanse of better known as the Lemonade diet developed by Stanley Burroughs. It calls for 8oz. of purified warm water, a pinch of cayenne pepper, half a squeezed lemon or lime and table spoon of dark grade maple syrup. Not the sugary pancake syrup though.
as a means to longevity. I feel it is more as a medicinal cleansing but not a lifestyle. You purify your body to a point that you become vulnerable to any change in your environment and lifestyle. You are kind of backing yourself into a corner where your body cannot tolerate or deal with impurities, which it was designed and built to adapt to over time. ...Just my thoughts on the whole Raw lifestyle. Balance is the key. Not complete purification to the point of intolerance/vulnerability.
The human body is an amazing creation. It was built to adapt and change with it's environment. I feel that, obviously, raw foods are an extremely healthy way to eat. But, if you make your body so pure that it cannot tolerate and adapt to the changes (impurities, etc.) that life gives you. You are vulnerable in a way. All of the people who live to be 100+ years of age and more don't worry about purification of their bodies. They are about moderation. Raw food fasting has its place but not.
Dan I'm one of those dudes that is already naturally skinny and really got into this for the mental healing and internal cleansing....although I'm not fully to the level where I'm able to go 100% RAW, but I'm easing up there. reading a book called Juice Fasting and detoxification by Steven Meyerwitz, you may have mentioned that one not sure, but it skims all levels of fasting really well. One awesome statement was that toxins only hurt the body twice,once on the way in and once on the way out
For rapid detox, which you get on 100% raw foods or fasting, I highly recommend people look into coffee enemas.
It's a topic a lot of people shy away from because of societal conditioning, one that I also ignored, but after trying it, the difference is just shocking.
When you rapidly detox the liver is under major strain, especially fasting. The caffeine will trigger the liver to dump the toxins. Often times minutes after the enema I feel lightness and well being throughout my entire body.
Dan, your skin looks so clear and perfect! What an awesome inspiration you are to myself and others! My boyfriend (just switched to vegetarian, working on the vegan part then the raw vegan) loves when I pull up your videos. :-)
it is rarely a mysterious technique that drives those to the top, but rather a profound mastery of what may well be a basic skill set . Depth beats breadth any day of the week because it opens up a channel for the intangable creative components of our hidden potential. Thanks dan for helping to burn these basics into my brain. luvs yuh
Aw, I'm having a hard time hearing this one so I must return to it on my laptop that has better sound. I wanted to love, hugs and cucumbers in the meantime though! Blessings!
I have one problem with eating leafy green veggies if I take spirulina a green plant superfood supplement than I'll be getting too much protein cuz spirulina has the highiest amount of protein in the world well at least it just has alot of protein and b12 so won't I be getting too much of these nutrients if I eat both?
@comfykittydesigns, personally, I'd try to get wild meat like venison. Even though I am a meat eater I do worry about eating meat because the food these animals are fed is highly toxic and can cause diseases. It's best to eat animals that are grass fed. The same goes for fish farms. I personally do not eat fish from fish farms. The drugs being put into these animals and the feed doesn't sit well with me. Eat wild animals when you have a choice.
This was another great video, Dan. You are so correct; weight loss is just a bonus. The raw food diet is about all over health, living to one's full potential and making the best of the time we have in these vehicles we call bodies.
I do not believe raw foods will extend our lives because I think the number of our days are known to God from before our births. However, eating a raw food diet can allow us to live up to our potential, to improve our quality of life. God willing.
Right on the green herbs! I made them the core of my diet in December, and my appetite is pretty much gone.......minerals is what we need....we get from greens. Gorging on greens can only make us more healthy and younger and slim.
a few months ago i heard an argument of animals eating raw food and someone said birds and small animals like rats getting cancer and diseases then i thought to myself its only because they are eating the trash of the standard american diet haha!
@hopesolofan18, I love Dan. I'm as big of a fan as anyone but sometimes I just want a little reality check. When I read a message like yours I feel that need for reality.
Dan has been raw for quite some time and he got sick, congested, scratchy throat, just like anyone else. Of course we can decrease our chances of disease but eating raw foods isn't going to make us invincible. There was disease in the world long before the standard american diet.
Dan is a lot like me.....sensitive to nuts. I can be well all year, and then eat nuts every day for a week, and be in bed for another week sniffling. Also, Dan went from pure mountain air to LA pollution at the same time. Raw foodists's bodies don't tolerate mucus forming foods and bad surroundings because their bodies fight viciously to bring it back into stasis. Reactions like Dan had are a sign of high vitality. Sick bodies don't even put up a fight when they get rich food.
@ravendream33, I think your theory has some logic behind it. I'm not sure if you're trying to debate what I said or just expound upon my comment. All I was saying is that eating raw food is not going to make a person immune against all disease or illness. It will help to prevent a lot of disease and help the body to fight things the way it is designed to, but bacteria, viruses, etc. can attack anyone.
When chicken pox killed the Native Americans why was that?
I beleive a virus or bacteria can only live within a certain environment. I do not subscribe to the germ theory of dis - ease. I believe that it is God's will and plan for us to be able to live with "none of these diseases"....and that that is the original Master Plan. Ann Wigmore proved in her day AIDS cannot live or take over in a healthy body. Cancer cannot live in an alkaline body.
Medical staff do not frequently get communicable diseases because of their frequent exposure and therefore increased resistance (my mom works in hospice) even with a mad cow patient and a flesh eating disease patient several times. She says she believes her immunity is higher than a normal person because of her body's increased exposure to bacteria. It is true she never gets sick and she is not living in isolation like a mountain man. I do not ever get sick anymore for past three years.
Viruses and bacteria are our friends....they are there to eat up the sludge stored in all parts of our body as waste. If they have no food supply, they will not move in and multiply inside us. That is my stance on that topic. I think Dan added a mass of nuts, which is highly acidic and mucus forming. That was actually a shock to his system, which is highly alkaline.
He is used to being clean of sludge/mucus, but after this mass was put into him, and then he stopped it, his body began rapidly pushing out the sludge as our body should do, so that there will be nothing for bacteria to feed on once again. The same thing happens to me anytime I ever ate any dairy or lots of nuts or any wheat product. Those products cause a massive production of mucus in me (we all react differently to these allergens, by the way).
My body pushes that crap out for a week, and then I am fine. I don't get a fever though, which would indicate a bacterial infection. I did not hear that Dan had a fever either which would indicate a bacterial infection. Dan was detoxing, which is not the same as being overtaken with a bacterial invasion. In Dan's case, his body pushed out so much mucus, so that he could not get a bacterial colonization.
In the case of most people, the mucus-producing food intake never stops, so the person gets a bacterial infection (a blessing) in order to eat up or burn out some of that sludge Dan's body just eliminates on its own.. Precise use of terminolgy is important when trying to understand bacterial disease vs. a cleansing reaction to foods.
@ravendream33, oh please. I'm tired of seeing people drink milk and get congested and say that proves milk is bad but when they get congested on raw foods it's simply detox and a good thing. I'm all for blind faith as I believe whole heartedly in God, but wow.
Look at what you just said, and realize that you just proved my point. Both milk an nuts cause the very same reaction! That is what I am saying.....milk and nuts cause the very same reaction....I don't eat either of them nor do I think eating nuts is very good idea. The only fats I eat are avocados, coconuts, and poppy seeds and extra virgin olive oil now and then.
OMG, now you've gone off the deep end. You believe you could get injected with AIDS and not get it? WOW or with a flu or virus? PLEASE.
This is exactly the kind of irresponsible comment I'm that has begun turning me off to the "raw food circle."
I am 100% in support of more fresh, raw, ripe fruits and vegetables and no manmade foods or supplements or pharmaceuticals and I believe eating right will reduce the chance of illness, but you're taking it way too far and it's careless.
Yes, I do believe that, because I don't believe AIDS is any different than any other thing. It is all related to fungus, candida, and without the proper environment AIDS will not develop in a person exposed to HIV. Read the works of Ann Wigmore who cured AIDS patients in Puerto Rico on a continual basis.
@ravendream33, I suppose you could always inject yourself with the virus and prove it. You could change the world with that kind of evidence. I highly advise against trying that though.
I do believe the body can work its own miracles if you help it by not taxing it with bad food, instead helping it with good food and exercise, sunlight, meditation, prayer, etc. I believe most disease, if not all, can be healed naturally by the body given enough time. I also believe in the alkalizing.
No, what I say is full of care, not care-less. In fact, what I say is based on 30 years of nonstop reading into every possible form of natural medicine out there. Hoxy therapy, Gerson therapy, Ann Wigmore, Brian Clement's Hippocrates Health Institute, natural hygiene books written by many authors who ran fasting clinics. I have spent my entire life reading and meeting as many people who have cured their diseases through cleasning. Must have faith, not fear. Doubts stop healing power.
@ravendream33, there is a fine line between not having any doubt or fear and being a fool. Some of the information you read is written by whacky people too. Just because it's in writing doesn't make it accurate or honest.
I don't want to discourage anyone from believing that eating right will cure all their problems. I think it's important to have faith. There is a difference between trying to cure something and thinking you're immune to things.
Well, now that you have sort of implied that I have "gone off the deep end", am a fool, I read wacky people's books, and that I am being "ridiculous".... I have not once attacked you as a person as you have me. I don't really care what anybody believes, but I have only written this down because I thought it was worth writing. I choose to believe and project complete health and also back it up by my actions. You know that is my reality. Your reality is what you choose. Choose something good
@ravendream33, I'm a virgo. I have a tongue like a knife but I also have a big heart, am kind, a giver and am extremely logical and I analyze everything. All I ask of you is to be reasonable. If you want to live in your own world that's your right but you replied to my comment and if you're going to enter conversation with me, I require a reasonable debate. I agree with most of your thoughts, but making excuses for Dan or anyone else that gets sick even while eating 100% raw is lame.
My only reason is what i believe, not that is will be understood by you.......I told you what I believe and that is all.....what the problem with what I believe? You "require" a reasonable debate? OK, just one thing you can research and then debate me on.......Anne Wigmore kealed HIV / AIDS patients for years in Puerto Rico. You say she is whacky? You should read about her before you say that. Address that one thing after examing her records, ok?
Nothing is accurate or honest about the medical profession............I steer clear of them all. American medical practice is what is whacky, and hospitals are full of fat, whackey people living in la-la-land making money off of innocent people who are being poisoned and mutilated by the modern medical profession. Who is really in la la land? Do you really want to trust your body to them? ....or to the power of the sun, herbs, fruits, plants water as natural as you can find it on earth?
@ravendream33, There is a place for both. First I'd rather keep myself healthy or cure myself through natural means, but there are times when that won't work because the damage is too far gone and we face death.
Much medicine is based off natural cures. You can take something natural and make it more powerful. I'm not saying it makes it better though. There are side effects when you manipulate nature.
I too agree some doctors are whacks - because the information fed to them in not accurate
@thesetwofeet, I am not going to debate with you any further because the world does need people like you. You help balance the other extreme of ignorance in people who don't understand the true cause of disease - which I believe most diseases are simply reactions to poisoning the body - symptoms.
Keep on spreading your information. There is value in it and your thoughts should be considered, but try to remain grounded and not be too extreme in your beliefs.
One of the reasons I am so opposed to modern doctors and hospitals is that both sides of my family are nothing but that and they are in my opinion as ignorant about health as I have ever seen...I grew up hanging out around doctors and hospitals...sort of like David Wolf did. I formed my strong opinions by watching and reading the ridiculous recommendations of the medical books.
@ravendream33, I grew up in hospitals too. My dad and brother both died fairly young. I have witnessed the inaccurate guidance of doctors but that doesn't mean they are all bad or always wrong. They just don't give God/nature enough credit and confidence.
Damn, you might be finally right on something there ! :) I think it was me that dragged you in, but I am a Gemini,,,,,,like two people, so this half of me forgot. It was my other half that dragged you in. Geminis do seem to like to argue.....I guess it's cuz the argument is always going on in my head anyway. I dated a Virgo and we went round and round! He was very clean and organized and was good with money.
@ravendream33, I had a long relationship with a Gemini. She controlled the relationship for the most part. Strong personality for sure. She did have a split personality too though and that is how she got me. She charmed me with one side and made me feel safe and loved, but the other side did me in by finding other men.
It is for this reason I believe we can control all of the so-called incurable disease ....remember, they are labeled "incurable" by whom? Don't trust those labelers!! They are wrong. Go to them for a broken arm and then high tail it out of there as fast as you can...ha.
@thesetwofeet....You asked the wrong girl to be grounded. I'm a Gemini, and that's an air sign. And you even told me not to be too extreme? OMG, I was extreme as a little child!! I was always this way, thinking very radically even as a little kid......so it's just who I am to think very very extreme. I don't expect anyone to follow my path, for it is meant for me. We all have extreme powers, beleive it. We have so much power within our grasp. Even believing you are powerful makes it so.
@ravendream33, alright, well you've found my respect. I have no problem with a radical person if they are sane enough to recognize that they are radical. There is an need in the world for radical thinkers. Sometimes you have to be radical to change things.
But understand that if you say raw food makes someone immune to herpes I'm going to say I highly doubt that and I may even call you crazy, but please don't take it personal. :) My weakness is my tongue. My strength is my mind.
Right, I shattered my wrist and they reconstructed it.....I got stabbed to the bone in my right thigh, and they sewed me up. I said before that aside from trauma, and chemical or radiation exposure, we can prevent our own illnesses....PREVENT. If you are that far gone and have done nothing to PREVENT disease, then in my opinion, you don't have very much of a chance because you are fighting with a half loaded weapon.
BTW, thank you for the compliment, about going off on the deep end, but I want to correct you. I have been off the deep end all of my life. I also believe strongly in the power of our minds to heal over anything else, so therefore I refuse to believe that any bacteria can invade me. It simply does no good to allow fear and worry in my mind. At the same time, I am and always have been about actions.....and if something is worth doing, it is worth doing all the way or not at all.
@ravendream33, I admire your faith and strong mind. I too agree with the power of positive thinking but when you're posting things in public comments that could persuade other people to believe that eating 100% raw will make you immune to viruses and bacteria I'm going to speak up. I think that is a dangerous statement.
Native American Indians were eating lots of cooked grains, roots, meats, and the like......they were not eating as clean of a diet as a raw foodist, actually. Any cooked starch in the blood creates a breeding ground for bacteria and plague....bubonic plague hit at a place where much of the diet was grain based.....cooked starch and meat based diets.......never in the history of modern man have large amounts of people been on a 100% raw diet and documented it so well and so extensively.
Leprosy patients can be all around a clean person and that person will not acquire leprosy.....there is nothing in the clean person for a bacteria to feed on. When Jesus performed a healing miracle, aftgerwards, he said, "Go and sin no more....every time!" Why? Because it was their violations of natural law that got them sick in the first place.
@ravendream33, I hope that you're not suggested that if someone is a raw foodist they become immune to bacteria and viruses. Please tell me you don't think that.
It's one thing to believe that eating natural foods gives the body a chance to run at peak performance and the body has amazing healing and disease fighting abilities, but the human body just can't fight everything. The immune system is mostly based on memory. The Europeans ate worst than Native Americans.
@ thesetwofeet....You didn't either read or comprehend all the many comments I wrote. The first thing I said, is, "I do not subscribe to the germ theory of disease..." Do you understand what I mean by that? If not, here it is... Yes, we all have an immune system, which does get stronger through memory. That being said, will you not agree, that the best case scenario is to never put the body into a state in which the immune system has to kick in ? OK, I know you agree....moving on...
@ravendream33, "moving on" - I can't have a logical and real conversation with that attitude. I don't think all your comments show up on inbox so because I noticed one that I didn't get notified of, so you're right I probably have not read all your comments.
You can't avoid germs. My mom always told me to play in the dirt and build my immune system, very similar to Dan not washing vegetables.
I too believe in eating clean for optimal health so we agree there, but raw is not invincible.
They are not all sent to you........they are in order under the video. Go back to Dan's video and click "see all comments" look under your name and see anywhere from 6 to 9 comments I wrote. It's all basic natural hygiene theory really. It is an opposing theory to the germ theory of disease which is what is regarded by the standard medical profession as the root cause of contagious disease. Sorry for the confusion.
...all right. I believe that all viruses and bacteria do not invade the healthy cells of any body whether they be a raw foodist or a cooked food eater. I believe they attack the unhealthy cells and the waste and filth stored in between the cells and in the fat and lymph. If a person has no excess filth for these viruses to feed on or few sick cells, then the immune system does not have to kick in. We are all born with cancer cells.....you know that, right?
The only difference between a person who "gets" cancer and one who does not, is that the cancer victim continued to feed the cancer and not starve it. The same is true with viruses and bacteria. Cooked starches, proteins and fats are breeding grounds for bacteria and viruses and further weaken human cells making them food for the bacteria, and they weaken the immune system also. You can learn what I am talking about my reading the writings of natural hygiene. Healthy cells don't feed virus.
@ravendream33, I agree that starch is not healthy. I also agree that they didn't eat as a raw foodist. I'm also not a big fan of grains, but you are missing my point.
My point is that if you life on perfect oxygen, eat perfect, etc. it's getting along the line of living in a bubble. If you live in a bubble and then go outside the bubble, your immune system is weaker, not stronger. I'm somewhat anti-science myself but some of the raw foodist really lose touch with reality.
OK....I am sort of confused with your new statement, because, at first I thought you were trying to say Dan doesn't get sick only because he is a loner and is not exposed to lots of germs (even though he drank from mountain streams which could have God knows what in them, and he never got sick then). He also went walking in sub freezing weather repeatedly without a shirt on and did not succomb to a cold then.
I'm not saying the only reason Dan doesn't get sick is because he is a loner, but it's a big reason. Some of the things you say I agree with and even some of your non-conventional thoughts have logic behind them but in my opinion, you, and a lot of people in this community, are living in fantasy lala land when it comes to thinking you are immune to bacteria and viruses if you are eating pure foods.
Most people living in a city would have been sick if they had been forced to hike shirtless with him in that weather.....right? I AM missing your point. You are missing mine.....the difference between a sick body and one which is discharging mucus from eating nuts or some other thing.
@ravendream33, a few nuts shouldn't cause a person to discharge mucus. Please that's ridiculous. Cold weather doesn't cause illness and neither does clean mountain air. This is really getting silly.
I said Dan was walking for miles in the snow with no shirt on, and that most people on a SAD diet from the city if forced to do that, would probably get sick........you don't agree that most city folk who eat crap would walk miles in the snow with no shirt on and then end up in bed with a fever? You don't seem to be thinking in my reality....cold weather changes do make people's immune function weaken if they are on the SAD diet, hence "flu season". Do you know when is flu season? Not summer
Flu season, in my opinion, has more to do with people being inside more and low on Vitamin D. There may also be some truth to the body not functioning as well in cold weather, but just going out into the cold is not going to make a person sick in my opinion, but I am willing to admit I could be wrong.
I am not being ridiculous about the nuts, my friend. Are you a raw food eater 100% ....if not, what is your experience. I have known many raw foodists, who react heavily to nuts. I used to react to them even before I ate all raw now for six months. I was sick all my life until I quit eating dairy, cooked grains, proteins and starches. As soon as I gave up all that, I stopped getting colds or flus and I mean even if everyone around me is sick
So, if you give a person the right nutriton for five years, and make them exercise and give them clean water and air........and then another person bad air and water and food........your logic tells me that the person with all the crap in their life is going to be stronger because they don't live in a "bubble". If your logic worked, then all these fast food addicts should be the healthiest people on the planet just because of the fact that they are still alive after all that abuse?
@ravendream33, that is not at all what I was saying. I do NOT think junk food makes someone healthier. I never said anything like that and it's apparent to me that you're not a reasonable person.
The only point I was making was that raw foods do not make a person immune to things. What makes a person immune is exposure in a way that the body is able to fight it and remember how to fight it. Yes, eating healthy gives the body the best chance to accomplish that but you're not immune.
No, you said raw foodists have lost touch with reality, and I said, then "who is in touch with reality'? You also said that a person who lives in a bubble and comes out of the bubble is then in a weakened state......and I made what was in essence an of course ridiculous analogy to make my point about the "bubble" not weakening a person. I know you didn't say that. I went over the top to make my point that living healthy doesn't put one in a bubble which then weakens them.
Ok, the next thing you said concerns raw foodists losing touch with reality. Who is then most in touch with reality? Is it those who eat with abandon whatever they want? Or is it those who just dabble in raw food? Is it those who don't do anything to be healthy and run to the doctor to "cure" them? Reality? I say we all create our own reality, and that reality is all in our heads....What is real to you, is not to Dan or to me, and vise versa. In the end who is most in touch with reality?
@ravendream33, one more point, when you're living like a wilderness man you're not likely to get sick no matter what you eat because you're not being exposed to contagious illnesses on a daily basis like someone living in the city. Let's not look at a solitarian (which Dan self-admittedly is) and say, wow, he never gets sick.
Don't get me wrong. I believe 100% that many "diseases" can be cured with a strict diet of mostly raw foods, including lots of greens, teas, etc.
5 comments above = my opinion on bacterial infection vs. cleansing reaction and the differences of the two, and why being a lone mountain man is not helping to keep Dan healthier since exposure to bacteria give us a chance to form stronger antibodies to overcome them......even if our diet is let than perfect. So then my ultimate conclusion to prevent disease is to eat clean and not worry one bit about staying away from sick people, because what doesn't kill ya only makes you stronger.
when god made us he gave us everything we need to sustain ourselves, in nature in the form of fruits and vegtables, its really true, im a trucker, and i tried this for six weeks, on the road, water fasts, fruits and veggies, only, i lost 32 lbs, i had plenty of energy, i slept better, i was never hungry, i still need to loose 100 lbs more, but you are correct it so easy , after a few days , all you want is fresh veggies and water and fruits, i want to get as healthy as you, you are very fit,

louislestat123 1 year ago
OK. Umm... I wasn't actually intending to saying that man is a carnivore. Sorry, my lazy language. Blatantly we are omnivores... sorry fruitarians, vegans... it is clear we can and do do alright eating meat. Not ideal but we would be dead up North without wooly mammoths n fish!
Still, the juices of sprouted green seeds n nuts is ideal! Plenty of plant fats there. Tis a pity sprouting is such a drag in colder climes.
Anybody got info on dehydrated sprouts, how long they keep, how good they are?
danielskipp1 1 year ago
well im not so sure we do very well on meat well esp pork with it close genetically to us and degenerative to our tissues, also having shared disease with a human and taking 3 days to digest, so they say.. anyway ive tried to give up all pork but its heavier than i realised, no more spam, ham salad sandwhices il cheat on, but gammon, sausage, pork pies, salami and pepp pizza, but how damaging some food really just look at the structure of margarine, its basically plastc, even mould cant grow on
louislestat123 1 year ago
I agree.
The best food is spirulina, cracked chlorella, seaweed [that heals radiation sickness!] and juices of well sprouted green nuts n seeds n beans. Combine ana branco' style juicing with Spring Forest Chi Kung and you can't fail to do well.
Tip: YIN YANG WATER. split water into 50/50.Chill half to 4 C, boil other half.. add at 100 c to cold half. swirl and drink! Magic Proton power!!!

Just give the yin yang water a try and you will be hooked! Tastes and feels great!
Yes, I not heard those precise percentages but they seem about right unless you chew and chew for ages! Who has the time?
Silver... some people have not so great reactions, some do well. I am sure you will follow your intuition to choose right.
The seaweed used after Hiroshima heals the damage, not absorb the radiation. Not heard the hemp rad info before, thanks!

OK I wrote a long post but youtube wiped it so I will be brief:
Q1: Fructose has been getting a bad rap. See Hyperlipid [a pro-fat nutrition blog!] for links to papers. Dr Mercola says we should eat less than 15g of fructose a day! That is less than 5 clementines! Holy Mama! Some people have yeast problems so should they at least stick to that limit?
danielskipp1 2 years ago
@danielskipp1
Q2: Many people say that fruit catches up in the guts with slower digesting food and causes bad fermentation... so they avoid eating fruit after anything else in any given day.
What say you, Lovely Dan the Man? ;-D
danielskipp1 2 years ago
Dr Mercola also wrote "The other point to consider that was not emphasized in my interview or comment is that the danger decreases enormously if you consume the sugars immediately prior, during or after exercise because they will then be directly consumed for fuel and not metabolized with negative consequences." Ain't that the truth.
Overeating is always a no no.
danielskipp1 2 years ago
"The research found that fruit was okay except when over-ripe when its antioxidant qualities dropped and its fructose levels increased. Wild animals need to eat fruit in the autumn to put on weight to see them over the winter famine ... what seems less understood is the rapidity that eating fruit increases weight. Jam and preserve makers know that the best time to use fruit is when it is just under-ripe when it is then packed with antioxidants and the final product tastes delicious."

Chilii peppers. So far I haven't see anyone use them in their juice. Peppers do open sweat pores , nasal sinus, kills parasites. I haven't gotten into juices yet, more vegetarian. Am moving towards raw foods, then juicing, Doing this slowly. It's hard visiting relatives that think a meal is bacon eggs, beef stew, meatballs. I am cleaning my shelves of canned foods. I am lightly steaming some veg. like root vegetables. As a senior my stomach has to get use to change. Not shock the system.

That could be just juicing raw fruits and veggies but if its the one I'm thinking of that is very popular in the health community is the Master Cleanse of better known as the Lemonade diet developed by Stanley Burroughs. It calls for 8oz. of purified warm water, a pinch of cayenne pepper, half a squeezed lemon or lime and table spoon of dark grade maple syrup. Not the sugary pancake syrup though.
Tommy197910 2 years ago 2
as a means to longevity. I feel it is more as a medicinal cleansing but not a lifestyle. You purify your body to a point that you become vulnerable to any change in your environment and lifestyle. You are kind of backing yourself into a corner where your body cannot tolerate or deal with impurities, which it was designed and built to adapt to over time. ...Just my thoughts on the whole Raw lifestyle. Balance is the key. Not complete purification to the point of intolerance/vulnerability.

The human body is an amazing creation. It was built to adapt and change with it's environment. I feel that, obviously, raw foods are an extremely healthy way to eat. But, if you make your body so pure that it cannot tolerate and adapt to the changes (impurities, etc.) that life gives you. You are vulnerable in a way. All of the people who live to be 100+ years of age and more don't worry about purification of their bodies. They are about moderation. Raw food fasting has its place but not.

For rapid detox, which you get on 100% raw foods or fasting, I highly recommend people look into coffee enemas.
It's a topic a lot of people shy away from because of societal conditioning, one that I also ignored, but after trying it, the difference is just shocking.
When you rapidly detox the liver is under major strain, especially fasting. The caffeine will trigger the liver to dump the toxins. Often times minutes after the enema I feel lightness and well being throughout my entire body.

@comfykittydesigns, personally, I'd try to get wild meat like venison. Even though I am a meat eater I do worry about eating meat because the food these animals are fed is highly toxic and can cause diseases. It's best to eat animals that are grass fed. The same goes for fish farms. I personally do not eat fish from fish farms. The drugs being put into these animals and the feed doesn't sit well with me. Eat wild animals when you have a choice.

This was another great video, Dan. You are so correct; weight loss is just a bonus. The raw food diet is about all over health, living to one's full potential and making the best of the time we have in these vehicles we call bodies.
I do not believe raw foods will extend our lives because I think the number of our days are known to God from before our births. However, eating a raw food diet can allow us to live up to our potential, to improve our quality of life. God willing.

Yes, we can help our body to heal though.

Dan is a lot like me.....sensitive to nuts. I can be well all year, and then eat nuts every day for a week, and be in bed for another week sniffling. Also, Dan went from pure mountain air to LA pollution at the same time. Raw foodists's bodies don't tolerate mucus forming foods and bad surroundings because their bodies fight viciously to bring it back into stasis. Reactions like Dan had are a sign of high vitality. Sick bodies don't even put up a fight when they get rich food.

@ravendream33, I think your theory has some logic behind it. I'm not sure if you're trying to debate what I said or just expound upon my comment. All I was saying is that eating raw food is not going to make a person immune against all disease or illness. It will help to prevent a lot of disease and help the body to fight things the way it is designed to, but bacteria, viruses, etc. can attack anyone.
When chicken pox killed the Native Americans why was that?

I beleive a virus or bacteria can only live within a certain environment. I do not subscribe to the germ theory of dis - ease. I believe that it is God's will and plan for us to be able to live with "none of these diseases"....and that that is the original Master Plan. Ann Wigmore proved in her day AIDS cannot live or take over in a healthy body. Cancer cannot live in an alkaline body.

Medical staff do not frequently get communicable diseases because of their frequent exposure and therefore increased resistance (my mom works in hospice) even with a mad cow patient and a flesh eating disease patient several times. She says she believes her immunity is higher than a normal person because of her body's increased exposure to bacteria. It is true she never gets sick and she is not living in isolation like a mountain man. I do not ever get sick anymore for past three years.

Viruses and bacteria are our friends....they are there to eat up the sludge stored in all parts of our body as waste. If they have no food supply, they will not move in and multiply inside us. That is my stance on that topic. I think Dan added a mass of nuts, which is highly acidic and mucus forming. That was actually a shock to his system, which is highly alkaline.
ravendream33 2 years ago
He is used to being clean of sludge/mucus, but after this mass was put into him, and then he stopped it, his body began rapidly pushing out the sludge as our body should do, so that there will be nothing for bacteria to feed on once again. The same thing happens to me anytime I ever ate any dairy or lots of nuts or any wheat product. Those products cause a massive production of mucus in me (we all react differently to these allergens, by the way).
ravendream33 2 years ago
My body pushes that crap out for a week, and then I am fine. I don't get a fever though, which would indicate a bacterial infection. I did not hear that Dan had a fever either which would indicate a bacterial infection. Dan was detoxing, which is not the same as being overtaken with a bacterial invasion. In Dan's case, his body pushed out so much mucus, so that he could not get a bacterial colonization.
ravendream33 2 years ago
In the case of most people, the mucus-producing food intake never stops, so the person gets a bacterial infection (a blessing) in order to eat up or burn out some of that sludge Dan's body just eliminates on its own.. Precise use of terminolgy is important when trying to understand bacterial disease vs. a cleansing reaction to foods.
ravendream33 2 years ago
@ravendream33, oh please. I'm tired of seeing people drink milk and get congested and say that proves milk is bad but when they get congested on raw foods it's simply detox and a good thing. I'm all for blind faith as I believe whole heartedly in God, but wow.
thesetwofeet 2 years ago
Look at what you just said, and realize that you just proved my point. Both milk an nuts cause the very same reaction! That is what I am saying.....milk and nuts cause the very same reaction....I don't eat either of them nor do I think eating nuts is very good idea. The only fats I eat are avocados, coconuts, and poppy seeds and extra virgin olive oil now and then.

OMG, now you've gone off the deep end. You believe you could get injected with AIDS and not get it? WOW or with a flu or virus? PLEASE.
This is exactly the kind of irresponsible comment I'm that has begun turning me off to the "raw food circle."
I am 100% in support of more fresh, raw, ripe fruits and vegetables and no manmade foods or supplements or pharmaceuticals and I believe eating right will reduce the chance of illness, but you're taking it way too far and it's careless.
thesetwofeet 2 years ago
Yes, I do believe that, because I don't believe AIDS is any different than any other thing. It is all related to fungus, candida, and without the proper environment AIDS will not develop in a person exposed to HIV. Read the works of Ann Wigmore who cured AIDS patients in Puerto Rico on a continual basis.
ravendream33 2 years ago
@ravendream33, I suppose you could always inject yourself with the virus and prove it. You could change the world with that kind of evidence. I highly advise against trying that though.
I do believe the body can work its own miracles if you help it by not taxing it with bad food, instead helping it with good food and exercise, sunlight, meditation, prayer, etc. I believe most disease, if not all, can be healed naturally by the body given enough time. I also believe in the alkalizing.
thesetwofeet 2 years ago
No, what I say is full of care, not care-less. In fact, what I say is based on 30 years of nonstop reading into every possible form of natural medicine out there. Hoxy therapy, Gerson therapy, Ann Wigmore, Brian Clement's Hippocrates Health Institute, natural hygiene books written by many authors who ran fasting clinics. I have spent my entire life reading and meeting as many people who have cured their diseases through cleasning. Must have faith, not fear. Doubts stop healing power.
ravendream33 2 years ago
@ravendream33, there is a fine line between not having any doubt or fear and being a fool. Some of the information you read is written by whacky people too. Just because it's in writing doesn't make it accurate or honest.
I don't want to discourage anyone from believing that eating right will cure all their problems. I think it's important to have faith. There is a difference between trying to cure something and thinking you're immune to things.
thesetwofeet 2 years ago
Well, now that you have sort of implied that I have "gone off the deep end", am a fool, I read wacky people's books, and that I am being "ridiculous".... I have not once attacked you as a person as you have me. I don't really care what anybody believes, but I have only written this down because I thought it was worth writing. I choose to believe and project complete health and also back it up by my actions. You know that is my reality. Your reality is what you choose. Choose something good

@ravendream33, I'm a virgo. I have a tongue like a knife but I also have a big heart, am kind, a giver and am extremely logical and I analyze everything. All I ask of you is to be reasonable. If you want to live in your own world that's your right but you replied to my comment and if you're going to enter conversation with me, I require a reasonable debate. I agree with most of your thoughts, but making excuses for Dan or anyone else that gets sick even while eating 100% raw is lame.
thesetwofeet 2 years ago
My only reason is what i believe, not that is will be understood by you.......I told you what I believe and that is all.....what the problem with what I believe? You "require" a reasonable debate? OK, just one thing you can research and then debate me on.......Anne Wigmore kealed HIV / AIDS patients for years in Puerto Rico. You say she is whacky? You should read about her before you say that. Address that one thing after examing her records, ok?
ravendream33 2 years ago
Nothing is accurate or honest about the medical profession............I steer clear of them all. American medical practice is what is whacky, and hospitals are full of fat, whackey people living in la-la-land making money off of innocent people who are being poisoned and mutilated by the modern medical profession. Who is really in la la land? Do you really want to trust your body to them? ....or to the power of the sun, herbs, fruits, plants water as natural as you can find it on earth?
ravendream33 2 years ago
@ravendream33, There is a place for both. First I'd rather keep myself healthy or cure myself through natural means, but there are times when that won't work because the damage is too far gone and we face death.
Much medicine is based off natural cures. You can take something natural and make it more powerful. I'm not saying it makes it better though. There are side effects when you manipulate nature.
I too agree some doctors are whacks - because the information fed to them in not accurate
thesetwofeet 2 years ago
@thesetwofeet, I am not going to debate with you any further because the world does need people like you. You help balance the other extreme of ignorance in people who don't understand the true cause of disease - which I believe most diseases are simply reactions to poisoning the body - symptoms.
Keep on spreading your information. There is value in it and your thoughts should be considered, but try to remain grounded and not be too extreme in your beliefs.
thesetwofeet 2 years ago
One of the reasons I am so opposed to modern doctors and hospitals is that both sides of my family are nothing but that and they are in my opinion as ignorant about health as I have ever seen...I grew up hanging out around doctors and hospitals...sort of like David Wolf did. I formed my strong opinions by watching and reading the ridiculous recommendations of the medical books.
ravendream33 2 years ago
@ravendream33, I grew up in hospitals too. My dad and brother both died fairly young. I have witnessed the inaccurate guidance of doctors but that doesn't mean they are all bad or always wrong. They just don't give God/nature enough credit and confidence.

Damn, you might be finally right on something there ! :) I think it was me that dragged you in, but I am a Gemini,,,,,,like two people, so this half of me forgot. It was my other half that dragged you in. Geminis do seem to like to argue.....I guess it's cuz the argument is always going on in my head anyway. I dated a Virgo and we went round and round! He was very clean and organized and was good with money.
ravendream33 2 years ago
@ravendream33, I had a long relationship with a Gemini. She controlled the relationship for the most part. Strong personality for sure. She did have a split personality too though and that is how she got me. She charmed me with one side and made me feel safe and loved, but the other side did me in by finding other men.
thesetwofeet 2 years ago
It is for this reason I believe we can control all of the so-called incurable disease ....remember, they are labeled "incurable" by whom? Don't trust those labelers!! They are wrong. Go to them for a broken arm and then high tail it out of there as fast as you can...ha.
ravendream33 2 years ago
@thesetwofeet....You asked the wrong girl to be grounded. I'm a Gemini, and that's an air sign. And you even told me not to be too extreme? OMG, I was extreme as a little child!! I was always this way, thinking very radically even as a little kid......so it's just who I am to think very very extreme. I don't expect anyone to follow my path, for it is meant for me. We all have extreme powers, beleive it. We have so much power within our grasp. Even believing you are powerful makes it so.
ravendream33 2 years ago
@ravendream33, alright, well you've found my respect. I have no problem with a radical person if they are sane enough to recognize that they are radical. There is an need in the world for radical thinkers. Sometimes you have to be radical to change things.
But understand that if you say raw food makes someone immune to herpes I'm going to say I highly doubt that and I may even call you crazy, but please don't take it personal. :) My weakness is my tongue. My strength is my mind.

BTW, thank you for the compliment, about going off on the deep end, but I want to correct you. I have been off the deep end all of my life. I also believe strongly in the power of our minds to heal over anything else, so therefore I refuse to believe that any bacteria can invade me. It simply does no good to allow fear and worry in my mind. At the same time, I am and always have been about actions.....and if something is worth doing, it is worth doing all the way or not at all.
ravendream33 2 years ago
@ravendream33, I admire your faith and strong mind. I too agree with the power of positive thinking but when you're posting things in public comments that could persuade other people to believe that eating 100% raw will make you immune to viruses and bacteria I'm going to speak up. I think that is a dangerous statement.

Native American Indians were eating lots of cooked grains, roots, meats, and the like......they were not eating as clean of a diet as a raw foodist, actually. Any cooked starch in the blood creates a breeding ground for bacteria and plague....bubonic plague hit at a place where much of the diet was grain based.....cooked starch and meat based diets.......never in the history of modern man have large amounts of people been on a 100% raw diet and documented it so well and so extensively.
ravendream33 2 years ago
Leprosy patients can be all around a clean person and that person will not acquire leprosy.....there is nothing in the clean person for a bacteria to feed on. When Jesus performed a healing miracle, aftgerwards, he said, "Go and sin no more....every time!" Why? Because it was their violations of natural law that got them sick in the first place.
ravendream33 2 years ago
@ravendream33, I hope that you're not suggested that if someone is a raw foodist they become immune to bacteria and viruses. Please tell me you don't think that.
It's one thing to believe that eating natural foods gives the body a chance to run at peak performance and the body has amazing healing and disease fighting abilities, but the human body just can't fight everything. The immune system is mostly based on memory. The Europeans ate worst than Native Americans.
thesetwofeet 2 years ago
@ thesetwofeet....You didn't either read or comprehend all the many comments I wrote. The first thing I said, is, "I do not subscribe to the germ theory of disease..." Do you understand what I mean by that? If not, here it is... Yes, we all have an immune system, which does get stronger through memory. That being said, will you not agree, that the best case scenario is to never put the body into a state in which the immune system has to kick in ? OK, I know you agree....moving on...
ravendream33 2 years ago
@ravendream33, "moving on" - I can't have a logical and real conversation with that attitude. I don't think all your comments show up on inbox so because I noticed one that I didn't get notified of, so you're right I probably have not read all your comments.
You can't avoid germs. My mom always told me to play in the dirt and build my immune system, very similar to Dan not washing vegetables.
I too believe in eating clean for optimal health so we agree there, but raw is not invincible.
thesetwofeet 2 years ago
They are not all sent to you........they are in order under the video. Go back to Dan's video and click "see all comments" look under your name and see anywhere from 6 to 9 comments I wrote. It's all basic natural hygiene theory really. It is an opposing theory to the germ theory of disease which is what is regarded by the standard medical profession as the root cause of contagious disease. Sorry for the confusion.
ravendream33 2 years ago
...all right. I believe that all viruses and bacteria do not invade the healthy cells of any body whether they be a raw foodist or a cooked food eater. I believe they attack the unhealthy cells and the waste and filth stored in between the cells and in the fat and lymph. If a person has no excess filth for these viruses to feed on or few sick cells, then the immune system does not have to kick in. We are all born with cancer cells.....you know that, right?
ravendream33 2 years ago
The only difference between a person who "gets" cancer and one who does not, is that the cancer victim continued to feed the cancer and not starve it. The same is true with viruses and bacteria. Cooked starches, proteins and fats are breeding grounds for bacteria and viruses and further weaken human cells making them food for the bacteria, and they weaken the immune system also. You can learn what I am talking about my reading the writings of natural hygiene. Healthy cells don't feed virus.
ravendream33 2 years ago
@ravendream33, I agree that starch is not healthy. I also agree that they didn't eat as a raw foodist. I'm also not a big fan of grains, but you are missing my point.
My point is that if you life on perfect oxygen, eat perfect, etc. it's getting along the line of living in a bubble. If you live in a bubble and then go outside the bubble, your immune system is weaker, not stronger. I'm somewhat anti-science myself but some of the raw foodist really lose touch with reality.
thesetwofeet 2 years ago
OK....I am sort of confused with your new statement, because, at first I thought you were trying to say Dan doesn't get sick only because he is a loner and is not exposed to lots of germs (even though he drank from mountain streams which could have God knows what in them, and he never got sick then). He also went walking in sub freezing weather repeatedly without a shirt on and did not succomb to a cold then.
ravendream33 2 years ago
I'm not saying the only reason Dan doesn't get sick is because he is a loner, but it's a big reason. Some of the things you say I agree with and even some of your non-conventional thoughts have logic behind them but in my opinion, you, and a lot of people in this community, are living in fantasy lala land when it comes to thinking you are immune to bacteria and viruses if you are eating pure foods.
thesetwofeet 2 years ago
Most people living in a city would have been sick if they had been forced to hike shirtless with him in that weather.....right? I AM missing your point. You are missing mine.....the difference between a sick body and one which is discharging mucus from eating nuts or some other thing.
ravendream33 2 years ago
@ravendream33, a few nuts shouldn't cause a person to discharge mucus. Please that's ridiculous. Cold weather doesn't cause illness and neither does clean mountain air. This is really getting silly.
thesetwofeet 2 years ago
I said Dan was walking for miles in the snow with no shirt on, and that most people on a SAD diet from the city if forced to do that, would probably get sick........you don't agree that most city folk who eat crap would walk miles in the snow with no shirt on and then end up in bed with a fever? You don't seem to be thinking in my reality....cold weather changes do make people's immune function weaken if they are on the SAD diet, hence "flu season". Do you know when is flu season? Not summer
ravendream33 2 years ago
Flu season, in my opinion, has more to do with people being inside more and low on Vitamin D. There may also be some truth to the body not functioning as well in cold weather, but just going out into the cold is not going to make a person sick in my opinion, but I am willing to admit I could be wrong.
thesetwofeet 2 years ago
I am not being ridiculous about the nuts, my friend. Are you a raw food eater 100% ....if not, what is your experience. I have known many raw foodists, who react heavily to nuts. I used to react to them even before I ate all raw now for six months. I was sick all my life until I quit eating dairy, cooked grains, proteins and starches. As soon as I gave up all that, I stopped getting colds or flus and I mean even if everyone around me is sick
ravendream33 2 years ago
So, if you give a person the right nutriton for five years, and make them exercise and give them clean water and air........and then another person bad air and water and food........your logic tells me that the person with all the crap in their life is going to be stronger because they don't live in a "bubble". If your logic worked, then all these fast food addicts should be the healthiest people on the planet just because of the fact that they are still alive after all that abuse?
ravendream33 2 years ago
@ravendream33, that is not at all what I was saying. I do NOT think junk food makes someone healthier. I never said anything like that and it's apparent to me that you're not a reasonable person.
The only point I was making was that raw foods do not make a person immune to things. What makes a person immune is exposure in a way that the body is able to fight it and remember how to fight it. Yes, eating healthy gives the body the best chance to accomplish that but you're not immune.
thesetwofeet 2 years ago
No, you said raw foodists have lost touch with reality, and I said, then "who is in touch with reality'? You also said that a person who lives in a bubble and comes out of the bubble is then in a weakened state......and I made what was in essence an of course ridiculous analogy to make my point about the "bubble" not weakening a person. I know you didn't say that. I went over the top to make my point that living healthy doesn't put one in a bubble which then weakens them.
ravendream33 2 years ago
Ok, the next thing you said concerns raw foodists losing touch with reality. Who is then most in touch with reality? Is it those who eat with abandon whatever they want? Or is it those who just dabble in raw food? Is it those who don't do anything to be healthy and run to the doctor to "cure" them? Reality? I say we all create our own reality, and that reality is all in our heads....What is real to you, is not to Dan or to me, and vise versa. In the end who is most in touch with reality?
ravendream33 2 years ago
@ravendream33, one more point, when you're living like a wilderness man you're not likely to get sick no matter what you eat because you're not being exposed to contagious illnesses on a daily basis like someone living in the city. Let's not look at a solitarian (which Dan self-admittedly is) and say, wow, he never gets sick.
Don't get me wrong. I believe 100% that many "diseases" can be cured with a strict diet of mostly raw foods, including lots of greens, teas, etc.
thesetwofeet 2 years ago
5 comments above = my opinion on bacterial infection vs. cleansing reaction and the differences of the two, and why being a lone mountain man is not helping to keep Dan healthier since exposure to bacteria give us a chance to form stronger antibodies to overcome them......even if our diet is let than perfect. So then my ultimate conclusion to prevent disease is to eat clean and not worry one bit about staying away from sick people, because what doesn't kill ya only makes you stronger.
