Hi Tim. I've been watching your videos for months now. I admire you for pursuing your passion. I've been around 85% raw for a year and a half and my body has gone through amazing changes (both physically and emotionally). Thank you for all of your efforts and for providing much inspiration along the way.

Happy Thanksgiving :)

Wow man...I'm not 100% raw, but I subscribe to your vids. Great video...so true...

[mrtruthforever]

He is the best raw food speaker around because he's not about monitoring percentages. He's about an overall approach which understands that diet (or more correctly, the motivation to stick with change) must go hand in hand with emotional & spiritual health. If you don't clean your house, it doesn't matter how many fruits & veggies you bring in, the house will always be dirty.

SHEESH! You said it man! Bingo! Your emotions are most important. How did you shift from your depression? I would love to know how you got from there to this moment in sharing... MAN amazing how as a being we can shift from almost a gonner to miraculously sharing some profound truths to awaken the masses... HOLY COW! or more appropriately HOLY BASIL! :-) Peace to you. Your light is magnet. Keep shining it.

i'm so glad your got all philosophical, that was really great. words are powerful tools for inspiration. i'm really glad you found a tool to help deal with your depression, so that you could find your purpose and help inspire others. I'm still looking for my own purpose..

thx for the vids

you are so right in this video however, maybe its just how its worded that i dont agree with. you are right, children know what they want to do with their lives, and the world beats it out of them. we become conditioned to society's systems, which are actually almost all terrible, because the people who built those systems likely did so on greed and their own agendas. you have such amazing things to teach because youre a good tree. you serve, youre not in it for the money.

[MichaelDeMichele]

i think this video might be destructive towards your movement. its a little too abstract and faith based for most people. they want to hear why the diet works and not that they should go raw permanently and deal with their emotions. id consider taking it down but thats just my opinion.

problem is these videos are way too short !

Even though I've watched this a couple of times, I thought I should stop being a troll and leave a comment. I love your message, Tim, it so resonates.
