Hello : Today was one of the first days I stepped outside the typical things I do with the children I work with as a therapist and gave a family with an autistic child the information that was on a few weeks ago about diet and behavior (books listed such as Feast without Yeast, etc.) I went on the internet, copied additional information about the books that were listed in the e-mail and then gave that information to the families. There was quite a bit of information on the internet about brain function, behavior, and the negative impact of gluten, cassein, and yeast which I also provided. We spoke about alternatives to cow's milk, etc., since cassein in milk seems to be a big problem. I had been asking myself the past months how I would be doing things differently with others since I've committed to raw foods. I never received any training in school or afterwards about behavior and nutrition. Anything I'm aware of is out of my personal interest. But there are pioneering people who have already explored these ideas, experienced the changes, etc., as far as making these diet changes for children. I don't want to be overbearing with information, but I want people to have access to information so they can make their own decisions about making changes that could dramatically impact the lives of their children. So, I did it...Thanks for being such a wonderful resource...Blessings, Ashtarra "Matthew A. Berg" Aug 12, 2004 2:07 PM RE: JACKFRUIT

 

 

 

 

Hey Ashtarra,

 

They ship them but I wouldn’t recommend ordering coconuts from them. I asked for some a few months back and they shaved them and by the time they got here they were rotten. I asked them not to shave them because I knew that would happen but they did it anyway. The jackfruit ships well. The other things I’ve had from them are the mamae sapotes and macadamia nuts in the shell. Go to their website and email them, they are pretty responsive.

 

Hey Mark, do you know if gaby’s farm is organic? I assume they are but there was no mention of it. I noticed they had black sapotes and I haven’t had those in a few years and may order some.

Hello Raw Soul/Matt: Does the Pangia ship things like Young Coconuts? I'm not close to DC?

Elaine/ers,

 

That is amazing that you just asked for JACKFRUIT. I just got an email from pangaia this past week and they now have jackfruits available and plan to ship me some on Friday. So I hope to receive them by Monday or Tuesday. I asked for 3 but they usually ship me one at a time, so we’ll see. I know a lot of folks on the group are interested but I don’t know how I would be able to accommodate everyone. All I can say is send me an e-mail (tradershogun) or call me at 202-545-1717 or better yet, come by my house before it’s all gone! This is truly one of the foods of the gods. We’ll definitely have some in Jamaica for the retreat. We really want as many folks from the group to come so we are willing to come down significantly on the price if that is your hangup. As black folks living raw or as conscious vegans we’ve only tipped the iceberg with our health because we are not in our native environment and that makes all the difference. Call me and let’s negotiate. I spoke with Aris today and I told him I was ready to move there. Growing up in upstate NY and then living here I’ve had enough with the snow and the upcoming inevitable winter. We also spoke about the possibility of this government doing something drastic before the election like declaring martial law. Of course my belief is that it will be masked by some “terrorist” event since that is the “war” we are in now. Regardless, it will be better to be in a tropical environment if something like that is going to go down. Anyway, enough of my banter…

 

Rawness, Matt
