Mostly fresh, sometimes dehydrated at low temperatures, occasionally frozen.
As a rawfood naturopath and nutritionist I simply want to make as many people aware of rawfood as possible. I say the more rawfood people choose to eat, the better for their health. Unfortunately our modern day medical system seldom looks at food intake as a direct cause of the epidemic of diet related disease we are experiencing? Diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease even osteoporosis and arthritis are largely a result of diet. In addition, a leap is also made at the time of treatment of these diseases. Either the assumption is made that they are irreversible or that the patient would not be prepared to alter their diet and lifestyle to, in many cases, completely reverse the disease. Either way, the assumption is very wrong!
Certainly, some may not wish to alter their eating patterns or lifestyle, this is a personal choice we should all be allowed to make but sadly few are made aware of the choice. The legal cornerstone of our medical system “informed consent” is somehow sadly missing.
People ask me, “So as a rawfooder, what do you eat?” I say the best food I ever tasted! I offer an online shop for the supply of organic rawfood ingredients, equipment, books, DVDs and some prepackaged rawfood products. I teach rawfood classes both beginners (all the nutritional information) and a fun, hands on gourmet rawfood class. I do lectures for interested groups and hold film and information evenings. I can do face to face or online naturopathic consultations to help with symptoms of detox and getting the balance right on raw on an individual basis (we are all a little different!). I can douse for an individual flower essence to help with the inevitable emotional detox.
Check the rawfood calendar of events staged by myself and others (yes, you are welcome to list yours here too!). Hopefully as this way of eating grows I will have a great online directory of places to send people to shop and eat in Australia and indeed the wider world and help you connect with other raw fooders or therapists who are also 100% raw and can help you with the transition.
I have a testimonial section for those who, like me have had amazing cures as a result of switching to an all raw diet. I would love anyone else to forward their testimonials to add to this section, to help inspire others. I have a frequently asked question section (FAQ), these are the commonly asked questions I have had through my classes and it is good for you to be armed with a few responses when you face the inevitable barrage of questions, fear and suspicion from “concerned” friends and relatives around your choice to eat rawfood. |
My book, "raw food reawakening" has chapters on how to help through detox, both physical and emotional. How to practice good food combining. How to follow a low salicylate diet through raw detox.
