 What's so good about raw milk? Because it's not homogenized or pasteurized, it's nutritionally superior to dead, cooked milk. raw milk seems to be far easier to digest, and it contains living bacteria cultures that enhance digestion and even soothe the digestive tract.
It's no surprise, then, that raw milk is under attack by both federal regulators and some members of the processed milk industry. |

 Countless others have eliminated obesity and visually reversed aging to the point where they literally look ten or fifteen years younger.
The raw foods lifestyle really works -- even if you're not 100% raw! (I'm currently between 70% - 90% raw, depending on the day.) This system is so good that I consider it the "health secret" of the century, and everyone who sticks with it gets healthier, younger looking, more energetic and emotionally balanced. |

 Raw foods are not raw, they're pasteurized!
The Allopathia version of the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) has announced that foods labeled as "raw" may now be pasteurized (i.e. "cooked" long enough to kill anything living). This is one of the many ways in which the Allopathia universe is twisted and upside-down: raw is cooked, cooked is raw, genetically modified is safe, and wild foods and herbs are dangerous. Of course, in our own universe, we're not so stupid as to think that cooked = raw, but apparently, in Allopathia, this idea doesn't seem strange at all. |

 It's called the "Raw Revolution Bar" and it's available in a variety of flavors, including cashew, coconut, chocolate, spirulina and raspberry chocolate.
These raw food bars are simply outstanding in every way: They taste great, they're made with pure, organic, raw ingredients, and they contain absolutely no junk (like high-fructose corn syrup, soy protein, etc.). I bought several cases and I've been munching on these bars before and after my workouts. They provide sustaining energy without a sugar overload. |

 REPPED: Ah, the taste of raw chocolate! It's more than just a food, it's a superfood with increasingly well-documented health benefits. The very name of one of the active chemical components in chocolate (theobromine) is derived from the word theos (the same word root as theology), which gives you a hint of just how much our ancestors worshipped chocolate as, "food of the Gods."
As more consumers are seeking healthful chocolate bars without all the added sugars and milk fat, I set out to find the best new raw chocolate products made only with wholesome ingredients. |

 Almond Board of California is destroying the future of almonds grown in America, forcing companies like his to source their almonds from other countries where they still respect raw, living foods and don't try to pasteurize everything. To read the full story on the bizarre almond situation in California (and the willful destruction of the raw almond industry by the ABC), read my report: http://www.newstarget.com/021776.html

 Share the video interview: Seth Leaf speaks out about pasteurized "raw" almonds.
Thank you for your effort. Together, we have a legitimate shot at bringing the almond industry back to its senses and restoring truly raw almonds to the marketplace. And if this doesn't fly, NewsTarget will be announcing a global boycott of almonds grown in the United States (and asking you to join along... |
| After all, if pasteurized is labeled as "raw" then what does "organic" mean on the package? What does anything mean? The words on the package apparently have no meaning at all; at least not one that regular people would understand and agree to. This will ultimately lead to devastating financial losses among U.S. almond growers. In my interview with Seth Leaf, for example, we learn that Seth's company, Living Nutz (www.LivingNutz.com), now has to purchase raw almonds from Spain!
The Almond Board of California has, in my opinion, lost its marbles. |

| He makes kefir in jars on his kitchen countertop, using a kefir culture that's been passed down from one raw foodist to another for years... maybe even decades. It contained no sweeteners or additives of any kind; just raw goat's milk cultured with bacteria. After drinking it, I noticed an immediate energetic difference, and in the days that followed, I was amazed at the therapeutic effect on my digestive and eliminative processes. Since then, I've really upped my intake of fermented foods in general.
Store-bought kefir is tricky. |

 You are one of the pioneers in raw foods, and many of these foods that people can benefit from are available through your distribution center, correct?
Wolfe: Our niche is raw foods, superfoods and sea vegetables. Rawfoods.com isn't just me. It's a conglomerate of about 25 people who are working in this movement, to get people organic, healthy, pesticide-free food that is extremely nourishing. Goji berries are a good example of that. |

 I don't necessarily blame the company, though: It's very difficult to keep raw food from going bad, especially if you don't use chemical additives. So just remember that this is real food, and it doesn't have the shelf life of a Snickers bar or other dead, processed foods. When you buy live foods, remember to eat them before you lose 'em!

| But despite these expected growing pains and organizational challenges, I think the raw Spirit Festival is worth whatever it takes to get here. The food, the people and the vibe are all exceptional, and there's no question that I'm coming back next year for the 2008 festival. You may want to mark it on your own calendar too, even if you're from far away. I've met people here from Australia, Sweden, Peru, Canada, Germany, Japan and many other countries. |

 I talk to a lot of people in, say, the raw food movement, and I'm mostly a raw foodist myself, except when I travel. But the thing about raw foods is it only works if you have really great digestion.
Kunin: Absolutely.
Mike: You must have hydrochloric acid production that's right on the money in order to extract the nutrients from raw foods. So a lot of people try raw foods, hoping to get that beneficial effect, and all they get is gas and bloating. I say give yourself the nutritional transfusion. |

 It's called Herbal Aloe Force and it combines raw aloe vera gel with a potent combination of anti-cancer herbs including cat's claw, "Essiac" herbs and astragalus. I'm not sure yet if there's any of the aloe vera leaf sap found in this formula (I'm working on finding that out), and that's important because I like to avoid the leaf sap and just eat the gel. In any case, I immediately recognized it as a highly medicinal cancer-busting formula that I know would be extremely helpful in preventing or treating various forms of cancer. |

 Really what nutrition comes down to -- before we get into the things about raw foods versus this and that and the other thing -- the main thing about food is: Are we getting enough minerals in our diet?
Mike: Right.
Wolfe: It's been shown, for example, when a plant gets a disease. Ultimately, when you analyze the soil that that plant is growing in, there are certain key minerals that are missing, and if you put those minerals in the soil, all of a sudden that plant's disease goes away. |
