HI:) I stumbled across your video shot in Olympic Hot Springs while looking for those hot springs I miss and love. I used to ride my bike up to those springs from Lake Crescent. Now I live in a trailer in FL where I moved to take care of my Dad who has Cancer all over his body. I love your videos and make kale smoothies and juices myself. My Dad wont watch, he is tired of me trying to change his diet. But anyway, your vibrancy, and open heart and happy health are beautiful. Thank you!
Hey there! Have you thought about intellectus 424 diet (do a search on google)? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my cousin lost a ton of weight with it
The only thing I say about washing is: it rains, which cleans, so we should wash. If you see the way dogs take a walk in the morning and what they do at each plant then washing makes more sense.
This is from the heart stuff which makes it great! The 33 cent smoothie plus water and ancillary costs still does not top 50 cents! I am getting better ever day on raw foods plus a small amount of meat once in a while! I feel the difference and the pounds are melting away! Thanks Dan for posting this.
Holla! Have you thought about intellectus 424 diet (do a google search)? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my father lost crazy amounts of weight with it.
kick ass video, you are hilarious and a real treat to watch. your videos are very informative. just bought a blender and i am going to the store right now to pick up some goodies to experiment with some of your creations!
These days i'm looking forward in making a time management tutorial videos and i was hoping if you share the same interset we can present it together on youtube... :) see my featured video to know what i'm talking about :).. thanks ;)
when you cook food you eat sterilize your meal. are you concerned about getting e coli or salmonella from the trailer park. when you eat a salad with vinegar dressing it provides an inhospitable environment for biological development. sushi with wisabi also provides similar results. rubbing citrus on a rim of a glass. fermentation of veggies for 20,000 years. blending food not washed off in a blender and drinking is kinda sketchy new age john harvey kellogg
@travelbound2cu since he's probably done that for so many years, he's built up a great immune system...plus he eats raw...which also builds your immune system...perhaps that's why he doesn't get sick?
A pure herb Smoothie is the most hardcore of smoothies.. Some one has to slowly progress to herbs only. Right?
I think someone should go to organic spinach, broccoli etc.. before going to herb only! The liver and digestive enzymes have to change to digest those foods...
.while it increases the ability to take in a greater concentration of nutrients by blending is maybe just eating greens without blending is what nature intended? i suppose our taste buds would reallly fight the idea of living off green leaves alone but i still wonder about this. would like your comments/thanks for the video.no streams around any ideas as to what water is best to use?
well first i never thought i could do vegetarian. then i never thought i could stop dairy and now the idea of going raw is coming more into my mind so who knows? i am definitely going to be doing green smoothies thanks for the tips. you make excellent points about this being the eternal foods that will last BUT blenders are a modern invention..
Look, I'm all for raw vs. cooked foods. But and here is the big BUT, so many foods we buy today are depleted nutrionally. Our soils have been stripped of the natural minerals, and microorganisms that plants need to provide us with proper nutrition. So many vegetables, fruits, and other products are now interlaced with GMO. (Genetically Modified Organism) Unless you start with pure natural unadulterated seeds, grow them in your own garden then they are still tainted.
all the people who are making negative comments here about him not wearing a shirt- they're just freakin' jealous of his physique, and intimidated by his confidence and passion, LOL
i agree w/ the statement about raw food being eternal food- and even though i'm a carnivore, it's also true that when humans are gone, cooked food will be gone- i feel better when my diet is predominantly raw veggies and fruit.....
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the flesh of dead animals! I love the taste of cooked food if its seasoned right versus many things raw. BUT, regardless of how much you love meat or cooked food, you can't deny the great feeling you have when consitently eating fruits and veggies raw! (and seeds/nuts) Go Paleo!
Anywho, thanks my friend, I will definantely try your awesome smoothie recipe!
@jazzjulie why do you need to be insulting? He comes across sincere, down to earth, and very inspiring! If you really listen to him he is on a spiritual journey and scoffing down a steak.... yeah really looks that way. Maybe you would prefer someone full of shit without passion to watch, this guy is to real for you!!! He is a new age messiah with his eyes wide open!
I'm into raw food and I love green smoothies - but you don't need to come across as a "hey dude, I'm so hip baby" kind of guy. I bet this guy scoffs down steak when no-ones looking.
OK, serious question here, you say raw food is part of the cycle...so do you take a shit in the garden to fertilise the growth of plants and vegetables?
i couldnt wait to get some fresh vegetables so i made one out of some banannas and lettuce i found in the fridge. it wasnt iceberg lettuce, dont know what kind. and i used 100% pure water. is this good?
also, what do you think about eating the vegetables fresh over store bought vegetables?
Dan I know you use flip cam and you love it, I love your videos, would be cool if the sound would be a little boosted, as sometimes when youre further from camera it gets very low volume, I think I saw you using mac, so in imovie theres option to boost volume by 200 % when you edit, maybe that helps.
@Joshuanorris1980 Soaked nuts and seeds are a far superior source of amino acids than the flesh of dead animals! Animal protein actually draws calcium from the bones to buffer the acids, which are by products of animal tissue consumption...So really meat and dairy products are the reason people get weak bones! eat fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds for superior heath...
@Joshuanorris1980 you're obviously programmed by U.S. agricultural corporate interests to believe that eating dead animals is good for you! Trained to believe that processed dairy products are a health requirement. Get out there and READ! Don't believe all the lies that are handed to you. Read for yourself! Dan is right - you're body is in a perpetual state of acidic exhaustion by eating acid-forming foods, so it sacrifices its own calcium stores to maintain PH levels in the body.
@newt718 he said imagine that he got the water from the stream, which was free. you can find the herbs anywhere. Usually when you say a meal costs "this much" then you dont add in the price of the cookware. You are basically saying that anymeal that you use you oven would cost you thousands of dollars...
how is raw foods internal/eternal foods? what do you mean by that?
the way I see it is.. good food is good food... and people shoudl eat more good food and in moderation + exercise... why go to the extreme of eating RAW food? comon..
@phatpleasure Because these naturally, growing, fluorishing whole foods are there before humans, offered to humans for optimal health & are there when humans are gone.... The only time their amazing nutrition is altered is through human tampering. Otherwise they're perfect---& always there, grown perfect & complete in Nature. So "eternal".
Cool. But I have to say, what really makes me cringe is how you touch the bin and then touch the fruit. It is not only in this video. Anyway, I enjoy the videos.
What is the Latin name for the "plantain" you use. I like what you say about it but cannot find any. The plantain I can find is huge green leaves from the tropics. Great videos!
What is also eternal is that cooking food and/or liquids at more than 100°C will get rid of a ton of bacteria that human stomachs would be vulnerable to when eaten raw.
No offense, I think it's great what you can do with raw food, I just would never promote it as "the one and eternal way".
Besides, a lot of stuff tastes so much better when it's hot, like a soup on a winter day!

It's funny because the raw bananas you threw in there were genetically modified by humans to be that size :) Without humans you would have gotten the little baby 'bananas'
can you do a video on how much we should eat! how much we should eat for our size and activity. do we really need as many calories as people say we do? when we have the high nutrition in fruits and veg? I eat as much as I want in raw veg and fruit. Let us know what you think! maybe what you would eat in a day?
I love smoothies too. Juice from Fresh opened coconuts goes great with them. I always at least rinse my herbs from the garden because we have stray cats & you never know what wild animal could have urinated on it. You might not have to disinfect them if organic though. Thanks for a good & passionate demo!
I am starting a green smoothie fast tomorrow and am looking for inspiration....this video is inspiring and you look so healthy. thanks for posting, I look forward to watching more! Thanks!
can u still get the nutrients if it is turned into a liquid? or do you get less cause it passes through you faster if you turn your solids into liquids? Do u get the same amount of nutrients as a liquid as you would if it was a solid?
The nutrients are in the liquid! That is what your body does when it digests food-- it removes the undigestible fiber, and absorbs the liquid, i.e., the nutrients that are in the liquid...and the water itself too, of course.
I bet it is delicious look he put 3 bananas that smoothie is more banana. I just made my first green smoothie with collard greens and 2 bananas blue berries and i couldn't taste the greens... i was so freaking amazed it was the best smoothie ever. I can't wait to try this recipe. I am excited : )
Also, I see lots of wild herbs and plants near my house while walking, however I am worried about picking them. I am worried about anything they might have been exposed to on the side of road or skirting my neighbors yards. Do you think they are worth picking IF I washed them when I got home? I never wash anything that comes from my garden but other things that come from around my neighborhood...I'm just not sure I should trust. Opinions?
When picking herbs and plants from the side of the road, it is always a good idea to walk several yards INTO the woods, away from the side of the road before picking them...and also just try to pick them from less busy roads...and yes, if you wash them real good you will be fine..enjoy! :D
@liferegenerator...First of all, I would like to say that you're a good man. Your heart can be clearly read. Your passion is heard very loudly!....Question...How would i know what is an herb in my neighborhood? What would they look like?
Any kind of EDIBLE herb could be great for smoothies! Just follow your intuition, experiment and have fun... As for growing your own, just check to see which kinds grow best for the climate you're in and then you'll be good to go! :D
Your a bad man, easy does it, fast, fun, and full of natural life. You have inspired me to upgrade my weak blender to something a bit more smoothie driven. Keep um coming..
just wanted to let you know lifegenerator that centrifugal blenders destroy a lot of the enzymes in the raw food, the best juicers are the dual gear juicers as they squeze the juice from the fruits and vegetables without destroying any of the vitamins , minerals, antioxidants and enzymes, you'll get a healthier juice if you have a dual gear juicer. take care
Thanks for your concern; I'm already aware of all of that. Have a look at all the different pages of juicers at this link, where I talk about the benefits & drawbacks of each type of juicer. So for me personally, I find the Breville to be best...because I actually use it. You'll see what I mean when you read the notes at this link. There are different juicers for different people so I encourage others to use the one they personally prefer. Thanks.
After following that link click on 'TWIN GEAR' in the left column to see the following (which has been there for awhile now):
TWIN GEAR JUICERS PRODUCE THE HIGHEST QUALITY JUICE, YET ARE THE MOST EXPENSIVE TYPE OF JUICER ON THE MARKET AND ARE THE MOST TIME-CONSUMING TO USE. However, if you are comfortable with having to take more time to cut up your produce into smaller pieces before juicing, as well as cleaning your juicer afterwards, then if you can afford them these are the juicers for you!
On the other hand, if time and/or money are real issues for you, then a better choice might be a Centrifugal Ejection Juicer such as a Breville; or the Hurom Juicer, which is a Vertical Single Auger Juicer.
hi liferegenerator i apprieciate your replys and looked into the link you've sent me. I own a twin gear juicer myself, got it second hand from ebay lol, couldnt afford a new one. Your videos have inspired me aswell as david wolfes vids, thanks for imparting us all with wisdom in terms of health.
yeah man weeds are in, like you said after we are gone the weeds will still be here. but I still think green juices are in for diabetics. how about a green herb juice?
I'm enjoying your videos. You have some good information but you're also kind of funny like I'd swear you were high on something. Do you smoke herb too or just eat it? :)
I'd think someone truly serious about a healthy body wouldn't smoke anything.
Great vids Dan! Highly inspiring. I just got my omega juicer in the mail and have been juicing and vitamixing for the past 7 days- 100% low fat raw and feeling great! I truly appreciate your passion. Keep the vids coming!
humans need L Carnitine - an amino acid NOT found in a raw diet - RAW is ok I suppose as long as its scientifically balanced with hormone free cage free beef / chicken
What you get from meats is B 12 vitamins and amino acids. Unless you're trying to build mass you'll get small amounts of amino acids through raw foods. If you feel you need more, you can get liquid amino acids and B vitamins.
You are the best, you have inspired me to go raw for the next couple of weeks to see what happens.....I'm trying to catch all of your tut's on the tube......keep sharing your wisdom dude, love ya....'
not to be an ass but people eat cooked food because at least one of the following: cheaper or you can mix raw food and/with cooked food and you get an immense variety in kinds of dishes and flavors, cause you can also cook vegetables and herbs to get a different taste and add taste to other food or some like it better cooked taste-wise and there are plenty of ways you can cook food and still eat healthy or availability. Again, not to be an ass, thats all. great smoothie recipe by the way!
The raw food diet is simply an experiment. One that has proved to have phenomenal results. If I continue to feel better and better I may continue to eat this way for the rest of my life....
Your videos in general inspired me to get back to juicing. Got some Celery, Kale, Spinach, Banana, and Apple today. Had a delicious Kale, Spinach and Banana smoothie. Rock on Dan!
When I say herbs I generally mean wild growing native plants, but greens are herbs too, they are just more hybridized for their positive characteristics...
Probiotics (coconut kefir, raw sauerkraut, kombucha) feed on sugar. Thus consuming these items takes sugar from your body so that candida, cancer and other dis-eases do not flourish. It is estimated that 80% of ppl have candida living somewhere in their body.
I think 100% of the people have candida and if they do not eliminate metabolic wastes through the lymph system and kidneys then the candida will have to do it's job and feed off of the excess wastes. And I like to burn up the sugars through exercise. Candida is actually our friend that helps us when we are not eliminating properly. Just my opinion that I have formulated from working in the clinics. That is interesting information though. All in fun and I appreciate having you around...
From and environmental stand point, the carbon footprint of eating a vegan diet is really low and great for the planet. The only negative in the raw food diet for many folks is the fact that many depend on the tropical fruits which require a lot of fossil fuels to transport.
I do the same man buy the cheap bananas and use them within a day .Its cool.Very good points my friend. How about a wilderness vid or Raw kids in the kitchen soon? Plz?:-0
Protein builds muscle dude, don't even bother arguing... MEAT or FISH meat builds it, ...ALOT faster then any fruits or herbs or veggies...

What is the Latin name for the "plantain" you use. I like what you say about it but cannot find any. The plantain I can find is huge green leaves from the tropics. Great videos!

What is also eternal is that cooking food and/or liquids at more than 100°C will get rid of a ton of bacteria that human stomachs would be vulnerable to when eaten raw.
No offense, I think it's great what you can do with raw food, I just would never promote it as "the one and eternal way".
Besides, a lot of stuff tastes so much better when it's hot, like a soup on a winter day!

It's funny because the raw bananas you threw in there were genetically modified by humans to be that size :) Without humans you would have gotten the little baby 'bananas'

can you do a video on how much we should eat! how much we should eat for our size and activity. do we really need as many calories as people say we do? when we have the high nutrition in fruits and veg? I eat as much as I want in raw veg and fruit. Let us know what you think! maybe what you would eat in a day?

I love smoothies too. Juice from Fresh opened coconuts goes great with them. I always at least rinse my herbs from the garden because we have stray cats & you never know what wild animal could have urinated on it. You might not have to disinfect them if organic though. Thanks for a good & passionate demo!

can u still get the nutrients if it is turned into a liquid? or do you get less cause it passes through you faster if you turn your solids into liquids? Do u get the same amount of nutrients as a liquid as you would if it was a solid?
IampureSol 1 year ago
The nutrients are in the liquid! That is what your body does when it digests food-- it removes the undigestible fiber, and absorbs the liquid, i.e., the nutrients that are in the liquid...and the water itself too, of course.

Aside from the herbs you mention in this video, what are some other good ones to add to smoothies.
I have a small container garden (no room or money for anything else) and suppose I would have to grow my own.
damagedgarden 2 years ago
Also...
Also, I see lots of wild herbs and plants near my house while walking, however I am worried about picking them. I am worried about anything they might have been exposed to on the side of road or skirting my neighbors yards. Do you think they are worth picking IF I washed them when I got home? I never wash anything that comes from my garden but other things that come from around my neighborhood...I'm just not sure I should trust. Opinions?
damagedgarden 2 years ago
When picking herbs and plants from the side of the road, it is always a good idea to walk several yards INTO the woods, away from the side of the road before picking them...and also just try to pick them from less busy roads...and yes, if you wash them real good you will be fine..enjoy! :D

just wanted to let you know lifegenerator that centrifugal blenders destroy a lot of the enzymes in the raw food, the best juicers are the dual gear juicers as they squeze the juice from the fruits and vegetables without destroying any of the vitamins , minerals, antioxidants and enzymes, you'll get a healthier juice if you have a dual gear juicer. take care
redmeatheart 2 years ago
Thanks for your concern; I'm already aware of all of that. Have a look at all the different pages of juicers at this link, where I talk about the benefits & drawbacks of each type of juicer. So for me personally, I find the Breville to be best...because I actually use it. You'll see what I mean when you read the notes at this link. There are different juicers for different people so I encourage others to use the one they personally prefer. Thanks.

After following that link click on 'TWIN GEAR' in the left column to see the following (which has been there for awhile now):
TWIN GEAR JUICERS PRODUCE THE HIGHEST QUALITY JUICE, YET ARE THE MOST EXPENSIVE TYPE OF JUICER ON THE MARKET AND ARE THE MOST TIME-CONSUMING TO USE. However, if you are comfortable with having to take more time to cut up your produce into smaller pieces before juicing, as well as cleaning your juicer afterwards, then if you can afford them these are the juicers for you!
liferegenerator 2 years ago
continued....
On the other hand, if time and/or money are real issues for you, then a better choice might be a Centrifugal Ejection Juicer such as a Breville; or the Hurom Juicer, which is a Vertical Single Auger Juicer.

hi liferegenerator i apprieciate your replys and looked into the link you've sent me. I own a twin gear juicer myself, got it second hand from ebay lol, couldnt afford a new one. Your videos have inspired me aswell as david wolfes vids, thanks for imparting us all with wisdom in terms of health.

What you get from meats is B 12 vitamins and amino acids. Unless you're trying to build mass you'll get small amounts of amino acids through raw foods. If you feel you need more, you can get liquid amino acids and B vitamins.

not to be an ass but people eat cooked food because at least one of the following: cheaper or you can mix raw food and/with cooked food and you get an immense variety in kinds of dishes and flavors, cause you can also cook vegetables and herbs to get a different taste and add taste to other food or some like it better cooked taste-wise and there are plenty of ways you can cook food and still eat healthy or availability. Again, not to be an ass, thats all. great smoothie recipe by the way!

Hi Dan, you said you would tell us how it tastes. Would you really say yuck if it were bad?
Yesterday I made a BAD green smoothie soup. The only thing I can figure is the 2 finger-sized eggplants.
How does one recognize lamb's quarters? I live in the country so it must be here, but I don't eat things I am not sure of.

Probiotics (coconut kefir, raw sauerkraut, kombucha) feed on sugar. Thus consuming these items takes sugar from your body so that candida, cancer and other dis-eases do not flourish. It is estimated that 80% of ppl have candida living somewhere in their body.
StarFlower99654 2 years ago
I think 100% of the people have candida and if they do not eliminate metabolic wastes through the lymph system and kidneys then the candida will have to do it's job and feed off of the excess wastes. And I like to burn up the sugars through exercise. Candida is actually our friend that helps us when we are not eliminating properly. Just my opinion that I have formulated from working in the clinics. That is interesting information though. All in fun and I appreciate having you around...

From and environmental stand point, the carbon footprint of eating a vegan diet is really low and great for the planet. The only negative in the raw food diet for many folks is the fact that many depend on the tropical fruits which require a lot of fossil fuels to transport.
