"Where Do You Get Your Protein?"

Whole plant foods contain every single essential amino acid for human health and growth.

That is because plants make all 20 amino acids [SOURCE] [SOURCE 2]therefore we obtain all 20 when we eat them, including the 8 (some say 9 now) essential ones. Humans and animals are only able to synthesize 12 of the 20 amino acids and need to obtain the rest from plants or animals (who intially obtained all their essential amino acids from plants)

When eating plants, you don't need to worry about getting "complete protein". And it's not necessary to combine specific protein foods at one sitting to make a complete protein. This is a myth as current science has now proven. All plant based foods have varying amounts of protein and the body will combine proteins from all sources, to get all the "complete protein" that it needs.

A Reminder: Perfection is Never Real

This is my reminder never to feel inadequate when you look at photos of "perfect" people.

because perfection is never real.

Whether it is heavy airbrushing, zapping zits, brightening eyes, contouring or more aggressively removing some unwanted back fat and pushing the eyes two inches apart so that the face appears more doll like- it happens.

Images are nipped and tucked and shaded and brightened and trimmed and filled out and flattened and rounded and smoothed, down to the last hair on the stomach and the veins in the hands. In the end, we see a reflection of someone not even the model can claim as their own.

It may be the leading edge of a chemically induced crisis that could make men an endangered species.

On an Indian reserve in Canada, surrounded by dozens of pollution-spewing chemical plants, girls rule the day-care centers, the playgrounds, the sports teams. The reason: For the past 15 years, fewer and fewer boys are being born.

Once there was a boys hockey team on the reservation.

Treat Your Candida Successfully



Candida is the short name used to describe yeast overgrowth in the body.

The technical term is Candidiasis. Like their “cousins” the molds, they live all around us. One family “Candida Albicans” lives in all mucus membranes, i.e. intestines, eyes, ears, bladder, stomach, lungs, vagina, etc. It is one of the billions of friendly organisms that serve a useful purpose in the body. One of its important functions is to recognize and destroy harmful bacteria. However, candida is not intended to overgrow and get out of control while the body is alive.

However as we age, our skin's natural ability to fend off UV rays from the sun begins to deteriorate, and as a result, we see the development of age spots.

Spotlight On: 75 Yr Old Raw Marathonian



In 1982, at the age of 47, Ruth Heidrich got the shock of her life. She was diagnosed with breast cancer.

At the time, she considered herself healthy and fit. After all, she ran marathons and ate what was considered a healthy diet. After a modified radical mastectomy to remove the tumor, she was told by not 1 but 5 different doctors that her tumor was life threatening and there was nothing they knew to do to strengthen her immune system. As she would later discover, the cancer had spread to her bones and one lung.

Fortunately for Heidrich, she was an avid reader and researcher, and found that Dr. John McDougall was doing a study on the effects of diet on breast cancer. She paid him a visit, and was told “If you want to save your life, change your diet.” On the spot, she decided she’d rather change her diet than undergo chemotherapy and radiation, joined Dr. McDougall’s study and adopted a vegan, low-fat diet.

She states “In two hours I went directly from the Standard American Diet (SAD) to a low-fat, whole food vegan diet.”
