Raw chocolate – Is it really good for you?

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

I really love chocolate and interestingly I’m just in the process of finishing off my 1st ebook about “Cutting the Ties” and thought it a great idea of add in a little treat at the back in suggesting how raw chocolate is really good for you and how it’s got the bliss molecule Anandamide in it etc etc but more recently there are some people in the raw food movement that are saying that maybe it’s not quite what the doctor ordered.  What d’you think?

There’s quite a lot of information just gone up on the internet about the dangers of cacao and I’m no scientist but it’s well known that chocolate is a stimulant because of the caffeine present and there is also the other stimulant theobromine.  This is the toxic chemical that will make most animals avoid it e.g. dogs and cats.  Due to some drying procedures it may also contain the toxic mould aflatoxin.

So is raw cacao a superfood or harmful stimulant? Although some raw food leaders highly promote cacao as something that should be revered as a food of the Gods, others have spoken out against raw cacao and raw chocolate. Who should you believe? Don’t be fooled by all the hype!

“Many people are being misled to believe cacao and other foods are healthy. Many of the people who promote it, have a good heart and really feel it is a good food, but I know there are many who sell this product knowing it is toxic and addictive, just to make money.”

Many raw food leaders including Victoria Boutenko, Dr. Doug Graham, Frederic Patenaude, Paul Nison, Jeremy Safron, Dr. Fred Bisci, and Dr. Brian Clement, have already come to the conclusion that raw cacao is not a superfood but an addictive stimulant. What do they know that you perhaps don’t yet know?

Raw Food/Vegan Chef Frederic Patenaude’s blog is here

There is an interesting page here on The Garden Diet’s website with a few videos on raw food experts’ opinions on the matter

And an article on the subject on the Living Foods website here

Dr. T has his say here

and I guess you can go on researching this interesting subject but one thing’s for sure whether these people are right or not, one thing is for sure, in life “everything in moderation” springs to mind and of course too much dehydrated organic food is going to dehydrate you too.  How long did it take people to work that one out!

Raw carob seems to win the day because it doesn’t have the caffeine but then of course if you’re a staunch vegan you might be finding it a challenge to find carob brazils (albeit cooked) without crushed beetle shells (shellac) glazing the outside of them!

It’s good to question everything in our lives to find out what’s true and ultimately what’s best for you.

I’ll of course allow you to make up your own mind and add a comment below if you like!

Thanks for stopping by!

To your most excellent health

Is cancer preventable? Oh yes!

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

This is for those of you who wonder about whether cancer is a dis-ease or whether it’s actually something we create ourselves, whether knowingly or not!!!

And one moment before you get upset with me because you’ve got a family member or friend ill with cancer (I’ve lost 4 family members to cancer) and you think that cancer just happened to them out of nowhere (which is understandable considering none of this is really talked about in the media (if you choose to believe everything you see on the TV or read in the paper!) , there is a gift in all this.  If we create our dis-ease, then we can un-create it.  That’s definitely worth knowing about isn’t it?

And what about our food, even if you’re eating organic there’s only Nitrogen Phosphorus and Potassium in the fertiliser that’s put on the vegetables to “help” them grow and yet the body needs far more minerals than just 3!  If the soil’s deficient, so are we!

Getting back to a natural You!

Getting back to a natural You!

Did you know that Vitamin C has been known as a cure for over 30 dis-eases for 50 years +?  So how come doctors aren’t prescribing it?  News story here.  And that doesn’t even include the fact that since the 1930′s there has been safe and completely effective treatment for cancer and it’s called Rife Therapy pioneered by Royal Raymond Rife.  More recently there has been the Vibe Machine, now called Quantum Pulse which is also treating cancer patients very effectively.  We all deserve a healthy life and we also deserve the TRUTH!  and we’ve probably known it all along and yes you’ve definitely heard it before, “We are what we EAT!” (and what I say to clients who come to see me for a Health Coaching session is “We are what we put in our bodies, on our bodies and have around our bodies – these all have an effect on our wellbeing).

and to view the latest most cutting-edge and truth-full documentary on what we put in our body check out “Food Matters”.  It’s well worth the $5 to view online and it could make a huge difference in your daily life.  Let’s face it, If we want the best from our bodies it makes sense that we have to do the best for our bodies and yet with a deluxe sports car you don’t go shoving pizza in the fuel cap and yet that’s what we do to our bodies & expect peak performance!!! This awesome documentary is probably one of the most important videos you’ll see in a long time especially if you know people with cancer!

Check out the following trailer on the documentary and if you want to watch the full version online, go here

and if you want to learn from the experts who will give you the REAL truth about cancer and how to heal it the natural way, then check out here

Activate your DNA/Divine Blueprint

with the Da Vinci Code of Sound

with Ashera Hart

5-7 June 2009 at Raw Spirit Festival

on Sunday 7 June 2-3.45pm

(Interactive Playshops area)

For the full schedule click here

Two hearts meet as One!!!

(What the Zobet looks like when put through an oscilloscope.
Interestingly when the same is done with Western tuning music
i.e. the normal piano scale music – nothing happens!)

(Other workshops planned are in Glastonbury
Dates to be confirmed)

Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man

Sound is an amazing tool for spiritual awakening and development. Mystics have long known that sound can be utilised to accelerate their evolutionary path; to harmonise and balance, and expand the channel to higher sources of guidance and wisdom. On this workshop you will have an opportunity to experience the healing and awakening power of the Zobet (some may know as the original solfeggio/Gregorian chant) and during this brief workshop you will learn some aspects of the following:-

  • How sound can heal and how your voice can heal too
  • How the piano scale is out of tune with universal harmony
  • The connection between your body and the Fibonacci sequence (the “signature of God” underlying nature and every facet of the Universe)
  • How sound can help harmonise your body’s own sacred geometry with the earth and the universe to feel more focused, centred and grounded.
  • The ancient numbers/frequencies of the Zobet (or Solfeggio/original Gregorian chant) from a Gematria perspective (the spiritual study of numbers) and how it can help you access specific spiritual qualities and bring more peace into your life.
  • How it relates to your body’s light field (your Merkaba) as described in the Flower of Life workshops taught by Drunvalo Melchizedek.
  • Which spiritual traditions make reference to this mathemagical language e.g. the Bible, the Quran, the Hopi, the Keys of Enoch, Rosslyn Chapel.
  • What dis-eases these healing codes can be used for.
  • How it can help you de-stress and re-align – clearing the frequency of fear/separation (i.e. “I’m all alone in the world”) in preparation for the 2012 gateway of ascension.
  • How science is already using these sounds for repairing DNA (and how they tap in at an atomic level) and how it can activate your own DNA

The body's Mer-ka-ba

At the end of the day,
participants will have a chance to experience
these de-light-full celestial codes in a sacred sound journey
with specially-tuned crystal bowls and tuning forks

It makes sense to now return to universal tunings
in order for us, as a species, to learn to walk
a path of harmony and help secure our future on the planet

If you’re a sound healer come and take
your sound healing to the next level
or if you’re someone who’s fascinated
by the magic of sound to heal, come and join us.
(No previous experience is necessary)
