My Raw Food Diet Vlog - Update 2-5-10

[Weewinkle7]

I've had psoriasis since I was 3. Your skin is acting as a second liver. Instead of overloading your liver your body is pouring it out on your skin. I got this info from the book. I really believe it because I notice whenever I'm constipated my psoriasis gets a bit worse. Not majorly but def worse. Do what I told you in the last comment, those are all the steps. Also use virgin coconut oil as your skin moisturizer. I will message you the link to that book if you want to buy it, it's an ebook.

[Weewinkle7]

OK, no disrespect here I have psoriasis myself. I've seen your raw bread recipe (with the wheat berries) and you've gained some weight. Your belly looks high. I think it's toxins. I recently found this book on the cure. I haven't started it yet cuz I'm in school and haven't bought all the necessary materials. You gotta do extensive cleansing. It basically: 1.parasite-colon cleanse simultaneously 2.kidney cleanse 3. liver cleanse (at least 8 times wait a week in between each) 4. blood cleanse

Psoriasis, eh? I haven't experienced it, but I can understand why you'd go back on a med.

Since you're interested in natural remedies, thought I'd let you know about one you might not have heard of: The Milk Cure. One eats and drinks nothing but oodles of raw milk from grass fed cows. In the article "Real Milk Cures Many Diseases," J. R. Crewe writes:

"Interestingly, diseases that have no similarity respond equally to this treatment. For instance, psoriasis clears up beautifully."

I enjoy your videos a lot. Don't feel like you have to apologise for using medication that you need - you have given all else a good go and if it didn't clear it, then it's best to take care of yourself with what will work for you. Keep up the good work!

[triniwwee]

AWESOME, I voted for you. You don't have to be 100% raw. Go easy on yourself. Exercise.

[thatoneguyonline]

Thanks!

I have found that most people into the raw food diet aren't actually raw foodists, but vegans who try to eat as much raw food as they can. That's pretty much what I'm interested in.

[elerayrah]

there is another drug here in the uk now called cylosporin, used to stop transplant patients rejecting organs. it working for me but with a few side effects, though im not sure if you can get it in the states. there is also an injection. good luck

[vinodea]

Matt, I've followed your vlogs for liek 2 years and you have been a big inspiration to me. I'm currently my highest weight, not following my vegan lifestyle, not very happy and not able to stick to the master cleanse. Your video was very honest. There is not black and white, cut and dry answer. This is a journey. If you've watched RawDownUnder's vlog you know that Therese's lifestyle or raw food has ups and downs, and high and low points too. She's a great source of inspiration.

[vinodea]

What I'm trying to say is, don't be hard on yoruself. Look back to when you were the most pleased with your diet and weight. Take cues from what you were doing at that time and try to walk down that path again. Maybe all raw isn't for you, maybe 80%? Maybe you juice one or two days a week, or maybe you try a juice fast. are there retreats where you eat raw for a week or two near by? I live in California, so I know there is one in SoCal. Good luck to you and I wish you all the best! - Sara

[thatoneguyonline]

Thanks for the info! I'll check out that channel.

[MsKibznBitz]

I'm glad you won the BlendTek. I voted for you :) . Just do what is best for you. Have you considered adding fermented foods along with your green smoothies? The Body Ecology Diet by Donna Gates and Wild Fermentation by Sandor Katz -- He's also YouTube. It's great for boosting the immune system It's a balance and everyone is different. Thanks for making the vid. Take care and Good Luck.

[thatoneguyonline]

I was into fermented food for a while. I was drinking a bottle of homemade kombucha every morning for a couple months. It gave me a lot of energy, but did nothing for my skin.

[dmca20031]

Do what's right for you Matt and it'll take care of itself!

[thatoneguyonline]

Thanks. I've been trying to figure out what's right for years, lol.

[truvipbabee]

u gained alot back...are u gonna do the master cleanse anytime soon??? u did a great job with that...but anyway keep it up its difficult to go vegan let alone raw

[thatoneguyonline]

Yes, I did gain a lot back. I think it was getting off the Methotrexate (when I did the liver cleanse) and I've even considered the possibility that the long Master Cleanse I did messed with my metabolism. I will get back down to 180, though.

[neraknerak1]

hi, i am no longer vegan but went vegetarian. not that i'm encouraging you but it's OK to do what you feel you need at the time. just keep working out, eating as healthy as you can! i heard fresh carrot juice can help with skin lesions. maybe you've tried it already.

[thatoneguyonline]

Thanks for the input.

I used to drink fresh carrot juice every morning. Good energy booster, but had no effect on my skin.

[myroadhome]

just incorporate big ol' green smoothies each day as way back to raw... they are easy, great for you and filling. Good luck accordion man ; )

[thatoneguyonline]

LOL. Thanks for the info!

[Rad1ka1]

Try out the Thrive Diet. Its the best.

[snipsnapparty]

It would be tough to go 100 per cent raw. I think it's awesome for those who can do it, but I personally need a warm hot meal. Nothing beats real mashed potatoes! :D

Anyway.... I like your vids and your music!

[thatoneguyonline]

It is harder in the winter. I do better in the summer. Sometimes when it's hot outside I feel an urge to mono diet on stuff like watermelon. I don't feel that in the winter.

[snipsnapparty]

totally! In Spring/Summer it would be much easier. For me anyway. I need warm foods. Even though I am not in a typical "cold" area (Ga) it's cold to me! LOL I need cooked things. My goal is to go 60-80 per cent raw. I am interested in desserts mainly since I have a serious sweet tooth. I feel like I need so many things though..... I don't have a dehydrator or blender, but all in time!!!! Hee!

[tbsosnj]

I slacked, too. Especially because you're body naturally craves carbohydrates and sometimes you really can't keep on the whole pure fruits and veggies and nuts carbs.

[thatoneguyonline]

Thanks, I don't feel so bad lol.

[ponhand]

did you try juice fasting?

[thatoneguyonline]

No, it's cold here and I don't do well with fasting in the cold.

I think I'll probably just try my best, rather than aiming to be a "raw foodist".

[peanutsthyname]

c'mon man! no pain no gain! :O

[thatoneguyonline]

lol
