And then go and do that.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

hope all is well, i am doing great on raw foods, although that occasionally does man cheating!

Fluoride *update*
to go with my recent video on fluoride i just thought i'd post a link about fluoride taken from mercola.com an absolutely amazing health information website.
Dr. Mercola's Comments:
If more Americans knew that fluoride, which many dentists STILL mistakenly promote as the panacea for healthy teeth, is also the active toxin in rat poisons and cockroach powder, I suspect they would feel vastly different about ingesting it via drinking water and toothpaste.
But FINALLY the tides do seem to be turning.
In 2005, eleven unions within the EPA publicly called for a ban of water fluoridation, over concerns that it may cause bone cancer. And in 2006, the American Dental Association warned parents of infants not to use fluoridated water when mixing baby formula.
When you begin to examine the evidence surrounding water fluoridation, this gradual retraction makes perfect sense.
As award-winning journalist Christopher Bryson revealed in his book The Fluoride Deception, there has been a multi-tiered effort -- or as Bryson says, an abuse of power -- by military and industry scientists and public health officials to shamelessly promote fluoride to the dentistry field and the American public with little regard to the implications it would have on human health.
Just what are those potential implications?
* An increased risk of bone cancer
* Fluorosis, a discoloring of your teeth and breakdown of their enamel (between 30 percent and 50 percent of children have dental fluorosis on at least two teeth in “optimally fluoridated communities”)
* An increased risk of osteoporosis
* Developmental problems such as lower IQ
But that’s not all. According to Paul Connett, PhD:
1. Fluoride accumulates in your bones and makes them more brittle and prone to fracture. Lifetime exposure to fluoride will contribute to higher rates of hip fracture in the elderly.
2. Fluoride accumulates in your pineal gland, possibly lowering the production of melatonin, a very important regulatory hormone [ps the pineal is also YOUR THIRD EYE CHAKRA]
3. There are serious concerns about a connection between fluoridation and the current epidemics of both arthritis and hypothyroidism.
4. In animal studies fluoride at 1 ppm in drinking water increases the uptake of aluminum into your brain.
5. Counties with 3 ppm or more of fluoride in their water have lower fertility rates.
6. The fluoridating agents most commonly used in the United States not only increase the uptake of lead into children's blood but are also associated with an increase in violent behavior.
Of course, the main reason why fluoride is reportedly added to the U.S. water supply in the first place is to prevent cavities. Yet, data compiled by the World Health Organization shows no difference in tooth decay in countries that use fluoridated water compared with countries that don’t use fluoridated water. So not only is fluoride unsafe, it is ineffective as well.

Wheatgrass Juice.
check it out..
from site.
excerpts from "The Wheatgrass Book" by Ann Wigmore

excerpts from "The Wheatgrass Book" by Ann Wigmore
WHEATGRASS... Increases red blood cell count, lowers blood pressure...It cleanses the blood, organs and gastrointestinal tract of debris. It stimulates metabolism and bodily enzyme systems in enriching the blood by increasing red blood cell count, and in dilating the blood pathways throughout the body, reducing blood pressure.
Stimulates the thyroid, correcting obesity, indigestion, etc. The thyroid gland is also stimulated and normalized by the use of wheat grass juice - an important step toward the correction of obesity, indigestion and a host of other complaints.
Restores alkalinity to the blood...Wheatgrass has an alkalizing effect on the blood. Its abundance of alkaline minerals helps reduce overacidity in the blood. It can be used to relieve many internal pains. It has been used successfully to treat peptic ulcers, ulcerative colitis, constipation, diarrhea, and other complaints of the gastrointestinal tract.
How to drink it...Ann Wigmore suggests drinking Wheatgrass juice in small amounts throughout the course of the day, always on an empty or nearly empty stomach. see the site :)

Sprouts and Wheat Grass + Wup'date!
*Update*
Wheat and Alfalfa Links:
A Very Excellent site http://www.alternative-healthzine.com/html/0500_2.html my highest recommendation, lots of great info. covers wheatgrass. also has a TON of links on the left side to alternative health information.
Also great from their, on Alfalfa! http://www.alternative-healthzine.com/html/0107_2.html
Easy reading summary of wheatgrass. http://www.flaxfood.com/wheatfood/wgrass.htm Another great site!
great site explaining how to grow wheatgrass http://www.saisanjeevini.org/wheat.htm
and finally... the great site on alfalfa [relating to Dr. John Christopher] that covers many things on alfalfa, including: the fact that it is high in protein,.. thanks.
http://www.healthfree.com/dr_jon_christopher_alfalfa.html#1
Ok, here i can go into more detail as i know most of you won't follow up on my 'space' ;) lol
here it goes, I am now including a lot more information relating to overall 'health' that i find has PERSONALLY benefited me...
...these things will include a few topics in psychology, some new age humhah, and ofcourse affirmations.
"I feel better"
after eating cooked food for a week, and wanting to go back to raw, but giving into cravings and noticing alot of 'feelings' inside myself. I realized like other raw authors have said, that raw foods, detoxify all the parts of yourself. So uncomfortable feelings rise to the surface.
and thats why for my next, 'Vlog' on youtube i want to be covering a book i just have begun to read, called Primal Healing. You can find out about it, and hear some interviews etc. at www.primaltherapy.com its very interesting and covers a lot of topics, including why i like to 'overdose' on sugar :P or over eat alot of food, so it ties into the raw food diet and 'trevs raw food journey.' :) cya, ciao..

MSG, Sugar and Meet your meat
okay, "meet your meat" you can find if your really interested by going to google.com and searching "peta meet your meat"
MSG
Dr. Russell Blaylock, an expert on Excitotoxins, and a neurosurgeon, is the author o the book: Excitotoxins: The Taste that Kills.
"It is almost a cliche in this day and age for someone to ask the waiter at a Chinese restaurant 'no MSG, please,' as is the waiter's knowing smirk in response. MonoSodium Glutamate (MSG), or 'The essence of taste' (as coined by the Japanese), is used as a 'taste-enhancer' in nearly every form of processed food on the market today, though 'taste addiction' may be a more correct term. But what exactly does it do? And how is it harmful?
Dr. Russell L. Blaylock answers these questions and poses some startling evidence as to the eventual consequences of a heavy MSG-diet in his book _Excitotoxins: The Taste that Kills_. In basic terms, MSG (and other, similar agents) pierces the blood-brain barrier and over-stimulates the neurons of a brain to a deadly degree. Habitual intake among animal experiments has shown the development of tumors, memory loss, and a whole host of neurodegenerative diseases as the end result of excess excitotoxin intake, including Alzhiemer's, Parkenson's, Lou Gerhig's etc.
Walk into any gas station in the United States (or grocery store, for that matter) and, upon close investigation, you will find that 75%-90% of the available food has been 'enhanced' to some degree by excitotoxins. The chemical agents are often disguised by such ambiguous terms as 'spice' and 'natural flavors' or, my personal favorite, 'hydrolyzed vegetable protein.' A consumer society must have consumer slaves to keep it functioning; MSG is the crack cocaine of the food industry...and it is legally perpetuated by slush-fund advocates and a pork-glutted FDA. As proven again and again, money talks, ... " -review from amazon.com

A RETURN TO RAW by Chris Watts
Hey guys, i was looking for a good explanation, and introduction into what exactly are raw foods, and alas I found a excellent place describing this. Enjoy :)
"Living or Raw foods is not a movement, diet or fad, it transcends all these things. This is nourishment as nature intends it. No other creature on the planet heats it's food and until a few thousand years ago humankind did not either. Using fire to cook food is a technology and like some other technological "advances" it is not necessarily a step towards a better life. We began raw and I believe evolution will urge a return to raw. Lets think about life on this planet. Humans and their pets suffer from more diseases than any other species. Cancer is never observed in the wild, Neither is cirrhosis of the liver or rampant obesity for that matter. Observe wild creatures in their natural habitats (use the discovery channel) and then observe humans(at the mall, the airport or any busy place). See the difference? I don't just mean one has hair or scales and the other doesn't. I mean quality of health. People are sicker and more overweight than ever before." Continue Reading
