I feel smoking should be illegal. As illegal as co***ne. It is such a health hazard, especially for non-smokers. Every time I walk past a smoker I feel violated. Isn't passive smoking the same as an assault? It clearly impacts our health, so why are smokers not punished and prosecuted as others who carry out assaults? I know my statements are very aggressive, and I hope they show how strongly I feel about this topic. People want to smoke? Fine, let them do it behind closed doors at home or in designated rooms, as they exist in airports. Smoking kills. If someone smokes next to me, he kills me. Doesn't he?

Love this.... :)

I just found this article on the dangers of microwaves. Although I have already posted an article about this a while ago, it is important enough for a second post. There should be no microwave anywhere! Get rid of them! Yes, I feel quite strongly about this. :)

In short, microwaves distort the molecular structure of the foods. They destroy much of the nutrients and cause many other problems with the immune system over a period of time. If you love your family read this and take the extra couple of minutes to heat the food up the right way.

Here I will share photos and infographics that I find important to remember

A few quick words on essential fatty acids and proteins:
Make sure you consume enough essential fatty acids. Chia seeds are yummy in raw vegan recipes for both their essential fatty acids and protein contents. If you want to use oil, use a mix of organic, unprocessed, and non-GMO flaxseed and h**p oils for their perfect blend of essential fatty acids. If you cannot find both, use either. Add a few drops of the oil blend to vegetables for example and a dash to all vegetable juices and foods. You cannot absorb fat soluble nutrients without fat. But do not overdue it. Oil is a concentrate and is also packed with lots of calories. Just a bit of oil will suffice in almost all dishes and juices. Of course, if your food is rich in fats itself (like nuts or seeds), there is no need to add more. A carrot eaten by itself however, is not ideal as you would not be able to properly absorb the beta-carotene for example. About proteins: you do not need that much protein. The best food we will ever consume during our lives, the magical mother milk, which supplies us with proteins at a time we need them more than ever again in our lives, only has 1.2% protein and only 0.9% are digestible. The whole protein myth is a lie of the food and fitness industry. Think elephants and gorillas. Huge muscles and they eat mainly grass and leaves. Experiment a lot and try lots of sauces and juices, otherwise it will get boring quickly. If you do not have one yet, buy a dehydrator. A juicer, blender, food processor, spiralizer, and dehydrator are key for maintaining a healthy raw vegan diet, partially because they make sure it will not get boring. :) :p ;)

SHOCKING NEWS FLASH! We all hate BPA and avoid plastics that contain it, especially you ladies as it is linked to miscarriages. Now guess what is not only heavily (!!!) coated with BPA but is also amongst the BPA sources that absorb the fastest into your body? Credit card as well as cash register receipts!

“When people talk about polycarbonate bottles, they talk about nanogram quantities of BPA [leaching out],” Warner observes. “The average cash register receipt that's out there and uses the BPA technology will have 60 to 100 milligrams of free BPA.” By free, he explains, it’s not bound into a polymer, like the BPA in polycarbonates. It’s just the individual molecules loose and ready for uptake.

I know I won't touch those ever again! Shocking, right?!!! Please spread this with me. I find it extremely unsettling.

Some cash register receipts offer the potential for relatively large exposures to an estrogen mimic.

Treating cancer with water fasting? Yes, it does really work! By achieving ketosis, your body does not only start burning fatty acids in lack of glucose, which is the way cancer cells produce energy as their mitochondria are dormant. The far bigger advantage of ketosis comes from the fact that you also do not consume protein, which is crucial for bodily functions. The body starts to digest some muscle tissue, but on top of that, and here is where it becomes magical, your body seeks out all non-body cells and digests them to harvest protein. This means that on top of all fungus, viruses, bacteria, your body hunts down cancerous tissue. This is scientifically proven and works 100% of the time. It is magic and terribly under-appreciated by conventional medicine. Also, water fasting addresses most of the time the underlying issues that caused cancer in the first place. It is crucial to not only attack cancer cells, which quite simply are the effects, but more importantly the cause of the disease. Please read my post about water fasting that you can find on top of this page. Please do get in touch if you would like to learn more. There are few topics I am more passionate about than curing cancer, a disease that is far easier to address than we are made to believe.

I worked with several cancer patients, and I am completely against chemotherapy. It is one of the worst treatments in use, in my opinion. It hurts my heart how in our world apparently profit counts more than helping. I do not blame doctors at all. I am certain doctors are amazing souls with the best intentions and golden hearts, with very few exceptions. I know several doctors from different fields that are absolute angels. But even doctors learned what they know somewhere, and sadly the curriculum is dictated by lobbies that have their own agenda. Take for example vaccination. Even the statistics published by the CDC confirm that the mandatory MMR vaccination is completely useless and the massive negative side effects completely outweigh the extremely low protection. The joke is, not only is the risk to get any of these three diseases very low, even if you get them they are not life threatening. Check out the official CDC statistics of MMR and the official MMR side effects. It is sickening. Or look at flue vaccines. The whole pharmaceutical industry drives me crazy. Again, just to be clear: I am certain doctors have the best intentions. Sadly, they have been brainwashed by an institution that is profit oriented. Back to cancer and chemotherapy: read this article and please do not get as sick as I did (even though none of this is new to me).

Chemotherapy actually increases cancer growth, cancer cells becoming resistant to treatment: Study

Be mindful of not only what you put into your body, but also what you put onto your body. In some respect, it is more dangerous to put toxins onto your body than consuming them, as your skin absorbs a lot more than you think. If health is important to you, you must choose your cosmetics and toiletries with the same caution as you do choose your food. Remember: your skin is not a piece of clothing, it is your largest organ.

Are you a vegan? A vegetarian? A pescatarian? Do you follow a raw vegan diet? You know, I smile when I hear such questions. I think being put into a box, by someone else or by yourself, is a terrible mistake. Life should be a choice and not a prison. I eat a healthy diet, because I love my body and my health. And I do so consciously and out of free will. Where is the difference? When I see a banana peanut-butter chocolate cake, I might still eat it. Yet, I do love my raw vegan meals. I am not a robot and at times I want to have fun with my taste-buds. Raw food has many health benefits and I am a huge believer in it. However, I believe in freedom and at times allowing myself a treat. I might even eat a again pizza one day. In fact, I am pretty sure I will the next time I am in Italy. Like with everything it is about the right balance. The vast majority of my diet is organic raw vegan and I have absolutely no problems allowing myself a treat every now and then. Why should I? Do you define an environmentalist as someone who can never use an airplane, a car, or any plastic products? We all know that is nonsense. It is about balance and it is about responsibilities. I strongly believe there is a difference between food and a treat. We have to stop thinking in absolute terms when it comes to our diets. We are not this or that. We have a magical body that we want to keep healthy for as long as possible, with as few hick-ups as possible. That takes responsibility and knowledge. We also have an even more magical life. And living, in my opinion, is all about experiences and going on the wild side every now and then. :)

If there is one curse of our time that is hard to escape, it is electro-magnetic fields. Electric appliances, WiFi, cellphones, electric cables in walls, computers, watches, etc etc etc. These invisible fields are all around us. Kid yourself not: they do interact with living organisms, like us. We can hardly escape them all the time, unless we relocate to some remote island. But what we can do is take a daily holiday from them. How hard would it be to create an electro-smog free bedroom? We spend a good part of our day in bed, at least we should. 6-8 hours seem to around the norm for most people. How about building ourselves a well-deserved sanctuary where we can truly unwind and recover. It is relatively easy. Remove all electric appliances from your bedroom, even lights. Remove all electric cables from the walls surrounding your bedroom. If you can, use materials in those walls that shield from electro-magnetic fields. Turn your WiFi off at night. Turn your phone off. Turn all appliances off at night that can be turned off. If you can, install a master-switch for an electric circuit in your house that has all appliances that do not need to stay on. You would even save money doing so. And then go to bed, knowing that you gave your body and your mind the rest they deserve.
