Storm's Web Log - Raw Vegan Forever

I had an amazing epiphany. I think that I'm just coming to a real awareness of what the Raw Vegan Diet is. It really did not matter that much to me in my twenties. I felt fine but everyone around me felt pretty good also for the most part. I kind of coasted through my thirties with no real awareness or connection between the Raw Vegan Diet and my over all health. My forties were pretty much the same I just felt really good, but for the most part I was focused on my art career. It wasn't until I hit my middle fifties that I began to realize that something really strange was happening. I became a Raw Vegan in 1972 and after my initial excitement the novelty wore off and because I was catching so much heat from everyone around me I just stopped not only talking about it but even thinking about it. I just mainly did it out of habit.
Now that I'm in my 57th year I'm really starting to think that maybe this Raw Vegan Diet might be the fountain of youth. Scientists will tell you that there is no scientific basis regarding any of the claims made by Raw Vegans and in a way they may be right. But in order for them to do long term testing if the Raw Vegan Diet is valid or not it would take anywhere from 50 to 100 years of testing groups of people and animals. In short all of us would be dead before the verdict was in.........click here to read on (photo of Storm, age 57, taken 7/11/06)

Reviews
Today I came across a beautiful film exploring the positive life choices that underlie a raw Vegan lifestyle. Watching this family really reminds us what can be achieved in any life if we have the vision and the compassion to make it real.
You can watch the film Breakthrough online.
You can also buy the film from their website at www.breakthroughthedocumentary.com.
Labels: Documentary, Raw, Veganism
My family and I enjoyed the Breakthrough movie. We are enjoying better health since going raw. We have effortlessly lost 70 pounds altogether. 20 pounds of it coming from my 15 year old daughter!
Thank you for publishing information of such great benefit to us. Looking forward to learning more.
Joyfully raw,

FAQs
It is becoming quite difficult to answer all the questions and comments we receive via email every day. So we'll feature questions here on the website, updated from time to time...
Question of the week
Q: Two years ago, I had a kidney removed with renal cell cancer. They told me they couldnt do anything, couldnt sit and wait for it to return so I went holistic. Went to a health retreat center, began eating organic, and all raw plus drinking wheat grass. Unfortunately I have gotten away from 100% raw and eat as much raw as possible, but thats not a lot. Last month I went to visit my son in Atlanta, went to a restaurant that was organic and have a raw meal. I cant stop thinking of how it made me feel even for hours later. I was more alert, more energetic and not the normal fuzz and sleepiness that I have. Do you know why? I cant stop thinking about it and want to feel like that all the time.
A: First, congratulations on dealing with your health holistically - and obviously doing a great job!
I'll do my best to answer your question as to why you felt so energized after the raw meal:
1. Enzymes. Raw foods have enzymes in them which are killed by even low heat. These enzymes help digest the food. So your body doesn't have to work as hard to produce as many digestive enzymes. When your body is producing a ton of digestive enzymes needed to break down cooked food especially heavy animal proteins then it stops producing as many metabolic enzymes that are needed to run the rest of your body systems. That's one reason you get tired after eating cooked foods.
2. No toxins. Raw plant foods have virtually no toxins. All cooked foods contain toxins. When you heat something it becomes carcinogenic. This is actually a synonym. Carcinogenic means cooked. Carcinogenic also means cancer-causing. So its kind of amazing we haven't connected the dots to see that if A=C and if B=C then A=B. Anyway, the FDA does know this, - you can read it in their toxicology section on their website, and even get the names of the hundreds of toxins in any cooked and processed foods. But they don't believe there is an alternative, - and perhaps there isn't yet for the masses. However people like you and I are moving the economy slowly in the direction of being able to feed the world a nourishing sustaining diet, just by demanding it ourselves, - by voting with our dollars, - the vote that always counts. Back to the point, when the body doesn't have to work so hard to get rid of all the toxins in your latest meal, it can concentrate on using the food to do good work in the body, leading to all kinds of wonderful side effects, - namely, health! And, you don't get tired after eating.

Great news for raw vegans!
An article came out in the mainstream media picked up by Reuters which means it can be picked up by any newspaper. Some quotes from the article are below with a link to the article online. Also below that you'll find a link to a page that links to the 40 or so publications that have picked up the story. A few of them twisted the story around and made it negative but by far most of them saw it as a positive endorsement of the raw vegan diet.
