[missbutter81]

Thanks for the awesome video. I'll definitely try out your advice!

[capricious71]

You should put that cooker on Ebay...

[jelquer]

You are so sweet and your presentation is so good that i am now a fan. Thanks!

[msvioletsun24]

yes this is true! people with bipolar have claimed that raw foods have been extremely medicating and helpful in dealing with their illness

[scdorsey1]

@msvioletsun24 - I have found that raw foods, and green smoothies have definitely made me a happier, and more energized person. Thanks for reminding me. Love your videos.

[rawbirbella]

Love your vids more and more. I was depressed (had NO reason) since I am a little girl as well. NOW I know I already was totally hooked on sugar in those days!

Then came the caffeinated soft-drink addiction and things wen worse and worse.

RAW FOOD (yes low fat is the best for me as well). I'd say it saved my life!

Thanks for your great messages!

[eatmoreraw]

Thanks for the excellent video. This diet (especially the low fat version of it) not only rids you of depression, but it gives you incredible joy!

[RawRadiantHealth]

Yes, Definitely!!!! :)

[nohemiangel]

thank you another great video.

im not 100 % raw yet, but it has helped me with anxiety, I used to have to take anti-anxiety pills which still would'nt work but green juices/smoothies and a high raw diet has helped my mood a lot.

keep making ur vids I just love them.

[RawRadiantHealth]

When I first went raw and eliminated all the processed foods - I went into a BIG emotional detox .. I cried and cried almost solidly for 2 weeks!

Coming out the other side was a revelation - I hadn't realised how much I had used stuff like sugar and cakes to numb my feelings.

Now, I feel like a completely different person - I can think clearly and deal with whatever comes up in my life calmly.

The book "Raw Emotions" by Angela Stokes is really helpful + lots of greens!

[RawRadiantHealth]

Greens are definitely where the magic is. Greens give great balance, clarity and calm.

Thank you for sharing your experience-- beautiful!!! Yes, in the midst of the initial detox, its crazy and sometimes even quite frightening to finally feel and see those emotions come out. But once you've lived through it-- you can do anything!! :)

[shesgotprettyeyes]

IamDemetri00 - such an interesting point. You've peaked my curiousity as well.

[shesgotprettyeyes]

Natasha, thanks so much for posting this video. Its very helpful hearing your story and your recovery. These days people understimate how choosing something so simple and in abundance as raw nutrition as a means to improve their health/ total being.

[RawRadiantHealth]

Yes, its amazing how much proper nutrition impacts our lives. Its so simple, and for some reason sometimes it's just too simple for people to accept!!

[CAlex6977]

I liked hearing you recovered from life long depression. Raw foods are great. Kepp up the good work.

[RawRadiantHealth]

Raw food rock!!!

[sgorick]

Is it ok to eat honey? I know it has a lot of natural sugar, but I heard it has health benefits.

[RawRadiantHealth]

Honey is great!! I love honey!!! Fruit & honey are great whole foods-- when I refer to sugar, I'm talking about processed & refined sugar (white sugar, brown sugar, sucanat, etc..)

[IamDemetri00]

I was wondering about sugar's affect on our mood as relates to the parasites in the body... I read somewhere that these parasites that have been in our body for so long actually become a part of our ody consciousness, and that when we have major sugar cravings, it is really the parasites crying out for more sugar. Do you know if there is an truth to that theory? Btw my zapper will be arriving any day now!!! Woohooooooo!!

[RawRadiantHealth]

There are parasites everywhere-- you decide if they work for you or against you!!

Sugar is completely addictive, I used to be so addicted to sugar, when I have a sugar craving, I know its coming from me. It may also be coming from the critters, but I'd rather take the full responsibility for it-- and if it's coming from me, then I have the full control of whether I act on it or not.

[IamDemetri00]

I can't help but agree with you... I have been uneasy on the parasite body consciousness theory and you helped me put it to rest! Thanks!

[IamDemetri00]

I've been there too and I must agree that being Raw helps! I use to tincture St johns Wort a lot.

[RawRadiantHealth]

Good to hear that the St John Wort works for you. I've never tried it. 5htp helps me a lot!
