Before you read any further about sugar, you might be shocked at what you see in this video.

If you thought white sugar just came from sugar cane...you were wrong!

White sugar is NOT vegan.

Ever wonder how they bleach the sugar to make it white?

Well, you are about to find out.

If you like candy bars, you might want to enjoy your last one.

 The Cashew Fruit and Nut

We always thought that cashews grow on trees like other nuts, but were delighted to discover that they grow out of a fruit that called "Cashew Apple" The apple is tasty, but a little astringent, and the locals use it to make all kind of drinks, including liqueur. The nut is inside a toxic liquid that can only opened safely after it is dried. This is done by applying heat. After this, the but itself is in a papery cover called "Teste" that can only be removed by heat again. The heat that is applied make the nut hard, as it is originally in a gel like state. By the way, the toxic liquid in the shell is used to make brake linings, and varnish among other industrial uses. We concluded that cashews can not be a raw food. You will find many recipes that include cashews in them, and you can do like we do and replace them with Macadamia Nuts or Pine Nuts. Some merchants sell "really raw" cashews, and we are not familiar what is the process that is used to process them. 

 

This is a cashew tree. Notice the poisonous barb on it.

Fact: Almonds are a member of the peach family.

(As of September 2007, raw almonds will be ILLEGAL). Buy and stock as many as you can or email us if you want contact information on a good source to buy almond trees. They take 2 to 3 years to grow and give about 50 lbs a year. Plant as many trees as you can. It's always better to be self sufficient.

It’s time to talk about raw almonds again…so, it seemed recently that the law to pasteurise all almonds in the States had gone through…talking with friends in Chicago recently however, we were handed flyers with information on how we can ALL act now to try to turn this situation around. The rule is due to go into effect on September the 1st, 2007. The idea is that we act NOW to contact US Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns to let him know why raw almonds are important to us and we do not want to see them pasteurised. If we do not act NOW to turn this around, it may literally never be possible to purchase raw almonds in the US again…and it may even open a floodgate for similar laws requiring pasteurisation of other foods…eeeeeek ;) no thanks…so, please take a few minutes NOW, for you, me, all those we care about and all those yet to come, to preserve access to truly raw foods. Here are the contact details for Secretary Johanns:
Email: Mike.Johanns@usda.gov   Phone: 202-720-3631  Fax: 202-720-2166

Click the bowl of almonds below to see what will happen once they become illegal.

Please take a few moments now to compose an email to Secretary Johanns – even if it means just copying and pasting the above (with your own name ;) – every message will count at this point to get the message across that we don’t want to lose access to raw almonds… :)

 

Fact: The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a
chocolate bar melted in his pocket.

 

The next time you buy bulk raw organic nuts why don't you see how many of them float or sink when you soak them.

 I refuse to eat a fresh, non-frozen durian.

I know there are many people who have never eaten a durian and many who can't afford to eat them.

I refuse to eat a fresh one since I know if I did I probably wouldn't enjoy the frozen ones as much.

My favorite food stories are about durians.  The first time I ate durian I put it in a little container, hid it in my jacket, and brought it with me to eat at the movie theater.  Well, just before I was done, the lights came on, the management directed everyone to the emergency exit doors, then the fire department came, then I saw police, then ambulances, then the theater manager was giving everyone raincheck passes to come back to see the movie another time.  Now I see why they are illegal to eat them in hotels.

 

SPROUTING CAN BE BAD... BEWARE OF USING A SPROUTER.....

Edited due to our distributor restrictions...If you want to learn more come to our FREE Tele-Chat. Education only. Nothing for sale.

 

Sprouting is bad for you in the automatic sprouters. Due to our distributor we cannot mention the names but they are the ones with the automatic watering system that makes sprouts with water only without soil. This is very dangerous especially if growing wheatgrass. They fail to tell you what you are really growing. They fail to tell you about how growing sunflower sprouts or buckweat sprouts or wheatgrass in these automatic sprouters that grow from the misted water is dangerous to eat and lacks what you think you are getting. They fail to mention the Brixxe' level is severely restricted. They fail to tell you many things that we cannot say. Please call us if you want to hear the unbiased truth about why we do not sell these dangerous machines that rawfooders ask us for. Our staff would never touch a sprout or wheatgrass that was grown in one of these machines. We urge anyone that wants to buy a sprouter to call us. We do NOT sell them and are not trying to sell you one. We used to sell them before we learned the truth. Don't fall for the scam!

 

When you grow sprouts it should be natural. In nature they grow in soil. We grow ours in a thermophillic soil (soil that we make that naturally gets up to 150 degrees due to all the natural bacteria proliferation).

The soil you buy in stores might not have the bacteria in the soil. (Most people try to put kelp or some mineral solution in their electric sprouter. This is just for minerals...not the bacteria...what a joke!)

The baby sprouted greens that grow in nature  where they are naturally "wild crafted" have a super strong reproductive energy. The ones in an electric sprouter....well...just think about it and it is easy to figure out?

 

The best way to grow sprouts is in a Vertical Garden. It is made by Sundance. If you want one of these let us know. The best soil to use is the organic soil you can buy for around 5 dollars for 20 lbs. If you want to learn how to make your own thermo-phillic soil that is alive with aerobic bacteria we can teach how we do it. Ask to book a consultation with Sandy if you want to learn.

 

Do not misunderstand what we are saying about sprouting. We are not saying that they are good or bad. We know something that we need to share with rawfoodists. Call us at 1800 578 6988. Most people do not buy a sprouter after hearing what we have to say. I have no doubt in my mind that I cannot convince you that you should not use a sprouter for these type of sprouts.

 

To those that want to start growing sprouts who want high Brixxe value sprouts or who want to use thermophillic "base" soil to start making their own soil.

 

Bioavailability of Soil Minerals

Growing your own baby greens?  Perhaps you have considered the impact soil ecology has on the mineral content of your harvest.

 

In order for soil to be biodynamic, it must be heavily populated with beneficial soil bacteria.  Soil bacteria break down the sand and gravel in soil releasing the minerals.  You cannot buy this in a store.

 

These mineral colloids can then be transported by other bacteria to the tiny hair like feeding roots of plants.  The plants draw the minerals along with billions of tiny pilot organisms into their systems.

 

Of the 102 minerals available in rich soil, certain baby greens are capable of mining up to 95.  This depends on growing conditions to some extent but the main determinant of the mineral content of raw plant food is the concentration of diverse microscopic bacterial organisms in the soil.

 

I am considering making small amounts of carefully cultivated flora rich humus available for the first time.  It can be used as a 'starter culture' for those interested in crafting their own soil.

This will produce plant foods with the wild crafted qualities absent from domesticated cultivars.

Bananas (You might not want to read this if you plan on eating bananas ever again)

Here are the reasons bananas are the worst fruits you can put in you body:

They are very dampening in the body and unless you are outside in hot climates they will make your body retain water. Their glycemic index is so high that raises your blood sugar way to fast. I tend to want the juicer foods. They are almost always picked green. When picked green it doesn't allow the phytochemicals and nutrients to mature. This can only happen when picked tree-ripened. The trees are also injected with steroids. They are a genetically man-mad fruit. Bananas are highly hybridized. They have lost their ability to reproduce. They are actually a hybrid from a plantain. They are very addictive. 1/6 of total produce sales in North America is from bananas. Go to a grocery store and you will see bananas in almost everyones cart. They are the starchiest fruit in nature. They are mucous forming and if someone has asthma I would hope they know not to eat them. I only eat fruits that have not lost their ability to reproduce. I do not eat hybrid fruit. Do research on hybrids and you won't want to eat them either. It's just best to avoid bananas if possible.

GRAINS (WHEAT AND CORN) 

Wheat and corn constitute the bulk of American grain consumption and both should be avoided for those interested in wellness and life extension.

 

Wheat contains a sticky substance called gluten.  It is the stuff that makes bread rise by forming little balloons filled with carbon dioxide released by dying yeast organisms.  Now doesn't that sound appetizing?

The gluten itself besides being a nutrient poor glue substitute poses no particular problem.  Gluten does contain an indigestible problem protein called gliadin. It is the protein of the endosperm of the wheat berry, the engine that gives the seed sprouting energy.  Even though we are not able to digest gliadin, it is so small that in enters the bloodstream anyway as if it were sugar, salt, casein protein from milk, etc.  Once gliadin has entered the bloodstream, our immune system must respond as an undigested protein is always interpreted as a pathogen.  So we mount an immune response that can last for three days or so sapping our energy and producing symptoms of allergy.  Most Americans are so used to the array of allergy symptoms from food insults that they have accepted them as a normal part of life not realizing it is their food that is making them sick and tired most of the time.

Gliadin is a problem for millions of Americans.  Many don't even realize gliadin is making them feel bad most of the time.

Corn is another grass seed and one of the most modified grains around.  Besides the high sugar content of corn a fresh ear, on the stalk, may contain about 25 different mold species.  With all that delicious sugar around, the mold organisms are sure to have lots of offspring once they have entered your GI tract.

Processed corn products (anything made from corn meal) are loaded with mold.  It is a situation rivaled only by peanut products. 

Eating corn provides you with a terrific infusion of mold organisms.  This could explain why sugar occupies such a prominent place at America's dinner table.  You see, the favorite food of mold is sugar and once they have established healthy colonies within the small intestine they know just how to get you to feed them-torture!

Wheat and corn are 50 cents a pound or less retail!  Do you really want to put this kind of fuel into your priceless temple? 

Wheat and corn are two grass seeds nobody needs to eat.

(The glutinous grains are wheat, oats, barley, rye, kamut, & spelt).

 

PROTEIN

Protein gets way too much attention in our nation because of the abundance of human carnivores we have generated.  Protein fixation is a commercially driven mentality that is more distraction than harm.  You see, meat really doesn't sell all that well unless it is pushed-just like milk.

 

High Brixxe value leaves, any of the super algaes such as chlorella and the nutrient dense immature grasses are capable of providing you with all the protein you can use.

 

At least 90% of the diets of the largest muscle mass creatures on Earth consist of green leaves. Add to this a little fruit, a few seeds and plenty of bugs and you might be able to bench press 4,000 pounds like a lowland gorilla.

 

It is easy to get plenty of protein from a frugivorous diet.  Animal foods are not needed for protein-they are mostly fat anyway.

 

As long as we get the 8 essential aminos, the flora in a properly functioning small intestine is capable of transmuting the other 14.  This is sometimes referred to as biosynthesis.  There is no need to become preoccupied with reading nutritional data to determine the presence/absence of this or that amino in a given food. 

 

Learn instead to trust Nature and relax into calm meditative visceral functioning. We all need to get the caffeine, excess glucose, cortisol and adrenaline out of our bloodstreams so that we may continue to evolve consciousness.  This is the way it was meant to be.

 

FOOD COMBINING

The more sugar any whole food contains the more likely it should be isolated from other foods by a space of time-even other sugary foods.  Thus, we have the concept of mono-fruit most have heard mentioned.

 

The only food that is acceptable to eat in any amount with sugary whole foods is green leaves.

 

Green leaves may be eaten in any amount with any other whole food without ill effect.

 

Green leaves may provide a buffering effect against the poor combining of other foods.

 

You can really get tangled up with complex food combining rules-.or you can just up your intake of green leaves and not worry too much about food combining.

 

Of course, if you eat an outrageous amount of sweet fruit you will be able to ferment your hiking boots.  Stay sane when it comes to sugar, even if it is from a natural whole food source.

 

DAIRY

Pasteurizing is cooking (mutilating)

 

Mutilating food destroys the negentropy (divine order) built into the structure of food

 

Non-organic dairy cows commonly suffer from mastitis (inflammation of the udder) resulting in the presence of white blood cells (pus) in the milk

 

Antibiotics are injected just above the infected teat and that one is not milked until normal color returns.  The practice results in antibiotics leaching into the milk from the other teats which continue to be milked.

 

Dairy cattle are often sunlight deprived resulting in nutritional deficient milk.  Vital solar information is missing from the milk of sunlight deprived cattle.

 

Nutrient deficient milk may also contain unacceptable levels of lactose (milk sugar) which could partially explain its addictive quality.

 

Milk contains indigestible casein protein which may harden the intestinal linings of children under the age of two leaving them marginally absorbent of other vital nutrients.

 

Milk products contain casomorphins (morphine-like substances) which may be extremely addictive possibly explaining the disproportionately large ice cream industry.

 

Americans are getting wise to the dairy deception.  There were 22 million dairy cows in our nation earlier in the 20^th century. Today there are about 9 million.  Could this signal the probable future of this poor food choice?

 

(Also.. on a side note... i do not eat mushrooms either. Fungus conflicts with the aerobic metabolism that I try to maintain).

 

Here is a little tip you should always remember and never forget when going to the grocery store.
Conventionally grown produce have 4-digit numbers starting with 3 or 4.
Organically grown produce have 5 digits starting with a 9
Genetically modified (GM) have 5 digits starting with an 8

Never buy produce that starts with an 8. Just look for 9's to be sure you are getting organic. Sometimes

you will find conventional fruits or veggies accidentally mixed in with the organic. This happens a lot at

big health food stores so just read the numbers to make sure you are getting what you pay for.

 

 Pesticides:  Strawberries have the highest amount of pesticides. They are very pourous, which have tiny holes in its outer membrane. Avocados have the lowest. Many people choose diets and foods that they absolutely hate since they think it's healthy. We choose foods we love and that love us back. Pesticides get absorbed into the fruit and washing will not help, even with a fruit and veggetable spray.

kg/hectare Strawberries 340 Dates 158 Carrots 134 Peas 126 Cabbage 115 Lemons 105 Grapes 102 Sweet Potatoes 99 Peaches 80 Nectarines 79 Figs 2 Avocados 2 Pecan 3 Garlic 3

Green foods: Reduce or, better yet, eliminate prepackaged foods. Buy in bulk and store in your own containers and reusable bags.

Greener foods: Join a local Community Supported food co-op (click here), which provides you monthly with raw organic bulk foods. You'll cut the pollution that comes from transporting food vast distances to different locations, while promoting the ecofriendly farm-to-table concept

Greenest foods: Start your own local food co-op by getting your friends and family together to make one big purchase to save the most money possible and least amount of packaging.

 

We urge everyone to try the superfoods we eat.

They are:

1. Rasberry Seeds (Freshy ground) or the kiwi seed, concord grape, strawberry seed flour mixture.

2. Camu Camu

3. Fresh Maca root (Don't buy it powdered, buy the root)

4 Algae

5. Barley Grass

Email us if you want to find places in your area that carry them. We do have distributors that will give you a discount if you mention our website.

See our Phyto Treats page if you want to try a sample.

 

The 10 second blending technique: Blending should take no longer than 10 seconds on its high setting to get the phytochemicals out. If your blender can't do this then you might want to see our kitchen page.

  Pineapple: Not only do I eat the core, but I eat the stem. I do not blend the flesh as it gets too foamy. I only eat the stem near the top of the pineapple. The stem has an abundance of the enzyme "bromalain" and it is released in a 3 to 4 HP blender. It has so many enzymes that if you eat it with food it will start pre-digesting your food. Watch our video on pineapple here.   Pomegranates: they have more phytochemicals and anti-oxidants than any other fruit besides the acai berry.   Seseme seeds: I do not eat the white seseme seeds that most people eat. I only eat the black seeds. They are about 5 times as expensive but way worth it. The white seeds have around half the minerals and nutrients as these do. You can make black tahini. Imagine putting that in your hummus. Black hummus. Yum!   Rasberry seed flour: I have friends that are sick and I give them organic rasberry seed flour. All it contains is the seeds extracted from rasberries without the fruit part. A blender can do this but you can get the powder much cheaper tnan buying 20 packs of rasberries and doing it yourself in a 3hp blender. I tell my friends who have a serious health crises or major health concern to use this.

 

What will a grocery store look like if we took over?

We should all be responsible for producing at least some of our own food.  Even if only a small percentage of the total, the exercise of producing or harvesting your own food changes the way we believe about the things we consume.

 

Many have entrusted the entire responsibility of food production and distribution to the corporate entities that now dominate these industries.  This has led to the mass marketing and food preservation techniques we see in the modern grocery store.

 

Only the produce and meat sections contain food which could be loosely considered fresh.  Much of the time the bulk of the foods found in those sections is far from fresh.

 

Some day, when enough of us awaken to the  benefits of living food, the farm to market imperative will strengthen.  Freshness will be demanded and the food industry will respond.

 

All forms of processed and precooked food will disappear from market shelves.  The meat section will contract.  The grain based macrobiotic philosophy will dissolve.  Bakery departments will close down.  The deep fryers will go to the dump.

 

The smell of fresh greens and fruit will spill out into the street attracting the highly tuned pallets of the healthiest people on Earth.  The highest quality nuts and seeds and their related oils will occupy a prominent position in the store.

 

The paper and plastic industry would be cut way back as most of the folks would bring their own net or bag to carry their groceries and all the packaging would be cut way back. Oh, and the word "cook" would become something more likely used when talking about irregularities.

 

Avocados, olives, figs, macadamia nuts, almonds, cucumbers, tomatoes, choice greens, mineral rich sweet fruit and on and on.  This is the way it was meant to be.  We will do it!

 

If you want to tell us what your version of a grocery store should be we would love to hear your opinion. Email us at Theblindguru@yahoo.com.

 

More about what is wrong...

Most of our tastebuds are sooooo messed up, our neurotransmitter are sooo confused from
all those additives and preservatives, and don't forget the media who says one and then the other, but
all they want is your money.....People are undernourished and eat more than ever before,
dehydrated from drinking gallons of pops, and accustomed to have cereal w/milk for breakfast, fast
food for lunch and another hot meal for dinner. But they are still hungry. This journey is for someone who
wants to listen or who's fallen soooo deep, he or she is screaming for an alternative. Have u ever thought
about this - who says not to eat a salad in the morning, soaked grains(cereal) and Nutmilk
for lunch and a smoothie for dinner. Who? We are all accustomed to something... Heritage, Likings, Culture,
etc. Why not eat whatever and when you want it? Because you have been told so, that certain foods go
for a certain time of a day. Does that make sense?

 

 

Now that we got that out of the way, if you are interested, let's uncover the agave nectar scam.

 

There are many grades of agave nectar and there are many scams.

There are stories about agave nectar being cut with corn syrup and even

more stories about agave being cooked, or dehdrated at high

tempuratures that we cannot monitor.

 

 

 

Watch the following videos and this will help you decide which agave nectar you want to buy.

 

 

There are many colors of agave. Are the brown or amber ones bad or oxidized?

Watch the video to find out!

 

 

 

What does agave nectar look like when it is fresh from the plant

Well, watch our aloe example and you can see.

 

Which is the best tasting agave. See what our rawfood coach says about each type.

 

 

Which agave is the sweetest and highest Brix?

Watch and find out

 

Agave blind fold test...

See if people can pick the pure one in this video.

 

Take the agave nectar quiz.

 

Aftertaste:

I do not want an aftertaste.

An aftertaste is fine if the before taste is much better.

I am not sure.

 

Sugar:

I want low glycemic agave such as the clear that has a score around 11

I want a high glycemic agave around 20, such as the brownest agave

Does not matter

 

Calories

I want agave with lower calories

I want the agave with the highest calories.

 

Sweetness

I want a mild taste

I want a very sweet taste

I want it somewhere in the middle.

I am not sure.

 

Additives

I will pay more to have no corn syrup or food colorings added

I want it pure and clear

I don't really care

 

Oxidation:

I want it clear, fresh and not oxidized

I want it slightly yellow, somewhat dehydrated and oxidized

I want it oxidized and brown, lost most of its nutrition and almost 100% oxidized
