I was on a tour bus, coming from ALT, and i was listening to Trey Songz’s song "set of wings" (i’m like his biggest fan) anyway, it motivated this poem!

Set of Wings

Having left-over dreams
Living life through the colder things
Alone just being; well just that; “alone”
But it’s more than what your used to
And having wings, wouldn’t be something he’s just used to
And that’s because of what he used to do
He didn’t know why, but knew how he did it
He lived the raw life, and he fit it
But opposite of what he believed; it was nothing close to realness

His skillz was: cook, chop, stand on the block
Rob, steal, kill; gamble, and still be the one to deal with;
Pain, suffering, and the real things that went on in his life
And though, through this time he went on in his life
He lived on in his life
But still his wrongs remained; un-right

And I guess the fact he had to fight took it’s toll on him
It was to much to hold for him
And though, it wasn’t his belief; life was wrong for him
But he still turned to God
To help him, control what was wrong ’bout him
He started doing right; and lived strong by Him
But still; his time was up
Life no longer lived through-out him

So having left-over dreams
And living life through to colder things
Made Alone just seem exactly what it means
But now he has that set of wings
And he’s able to fly away
He can see, what could’ve been the stronger things
Which are the things that he would’ve lived by today
But dude’s price is paid, expiration; his time is up
But now he has that set of wings; he opens them up
And as I close my eyes, I watch him fly above

wow. It was really good. keep up the great work.

Well . . . .yes and no.

You absolutely CAN STOP the progress of the disease. if caught early, you can STOP the possibility of amputation, blindness, Heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, sexual dysfunctions, and . . . . .

IF you grow the self-discipline to take your meds, follow your diet, get more exercise, and watch your weight, you can stop the disease from doing any more damage.

If you can keep your blood sugars normal, than MANY of the problems will reverse themselves and go away. Your eyesight will improve, your sexual functions will get better, you will reduces your chance of stroke.

But things like clogged arteries will requires special medication (like Plavix) to reduces the plaque buildup, and kidney disease is NOT reversible, at all.

Generally speaking, if you keep your blood sugar normal, you can seriously reduce the amount of medications you take, and can often eliminate you need (now or in the future) for insulin.

But if you do NOT follow doctor’s orders, you will DEFINITELY reduce your lifetime, and much of the life you have left will be of poor quality — setting in a wheelchair in a nursing home.

1 yam
4 tablespoons hemp seed

Chop by hand into bite size pieces. Spiral slice yam with Saladacco. Mix ingredients and serve. Serves 4-8

Nomi’s signature salad dressing
This is the recipe I always use at home and when visiting. I
usually use flax seed oil, but it is also good with olive oil. It
is a big favorite.

4 servings (this recipe is called Premier French Dressing in my
book, The Raw Gourmet)

4 Tablespoons flax oil or olive oil
2 Tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice (balsamic vinegar may be
used instead)
1/2 teaspoon maple syrup. (best with maple, but other sweetener can
be used)
Pinch of sea salt, or a drop or two of Nama shoyu

Whisk, then drizzle over salad. Make at the last minute, as it will
break down if you make it in advance.

Curried Squash and Fennel Soup

4 cups butternut squash. peeled and chopped
2 cups baby peeled carrots, chopped
6 stalks celery, chopped
2 bulbs fennel, chopped
1 apple, peeled and chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 inch piece of ginger, peeled and minced
1/2 cup of raw tahini
1/2 cup of exvirginigin olive oil, cold pressed
2 T curry powder
1 T cumin powder
2 t celtic sea salt, fine ground
cumin seeds, lime wedges, and cilantro sprigs for
garnish

In food processor, pulse each of the first 5
ingredients, then combine in large mixing bowl. In
blender, add ginger, garlic, curry, cumin,olive oil and
tahini, Blend (add water if necessary). Combine in
mixing bowl with vegetable mixture. Add sea salt, mix
well. In batches, fill blender 3/4 full and
liquefy. Serve soup slightly warm (not above 110
degrees). Garnish soup bowls with a sprinkle of cumin
seeds, a sprig of cilantro and a squeeze of lime
juice.

Mushroom Soup
Soup/Gravy/Sauce
This rich and thick soup has a heavenly mushroom flavor. A great
special recipe for the holidays. As soup, because it is so rich 1/2
cup is a large enough serving. For warm soup or gravy, heat over
low heat, or a double boiler until warm (not hot) to the touch. Use
the tastiest mushrooms you can find, crimini work very well and
shitake’s have proven health benefits.

The trick is to use a very small serving bowl or cup for this soup.
If a large meal follows, the amount of fat in this soup (2
tablespoons per serving) will not contribute to comfort or good
health. If you’d like a zingier soup, add 1 teaspoon chopped onion.

1/4 cup almond butter
1 1/2 cups cut up mushrooms (cut in quarters)-or more, to taste
1 tablespoon Bragg’s or a large pinch of sea salt or 1 1/2
teaspoons of Nama Shoyu
1/2 cup water

4 tablespoons finely chopped mushrooms

Place first 4 ingredients in blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into
a serving bowl. Top with chopped mushrooms. Yield 1 Cup, which is 2
servings. Make and eat the same day.

Carrot/Asparagus Soup
Soup/Dressing/Sauce
This could be called the king of soups. The fiber in the asparagus
creates a delightful texture, and the tahini gives it a smooth
quality. Do not use the woody ends of the asparagus, chop only the
most tender part, about 2” from the end. Option: warm soup in the
top of a double boiler or on very low heat just until warm to the
touch. For extra zip, stir in 1/2 teaspoon wasabi powder.

1 cup cut up asparagus, or more to taste
1 cup carrot juice
2 heaping tablespoons tahini (or almond butter)
1 teaspoon cut up onion, or more to taste
A pinch of sea salt or a few drops of nama shoyu or bragg’s
dulse flakes

In a blender, blend first five ingredients into a smooth
consistency. Taste and adjust flavors. Pour into serving bowl and
top with Dulse flakes. Yields approximately 1 1/2 cups. Serves 2.

Traditional Raw Carrot Soup
Soup/Dressing
An old standby in raw cuisine, carrot soup is nourishing and easy
to make. Even if you do not own a juicer, you can buy fresh made
carrot juice at juice bars and at many health food stores. This
recipe calls for pouring the soup over chopped sprouts and other
vegetables. Alter this to suit your family’s taste. I have never
heated this soup, but I suppose that it would work for those who
must have their soup warmed. Be careful to keep it at or below the
temperature of a Jacuzzi bath. Two variations of this soup follow.

1 cup carrot or mixed carrot and vegetable juice
1/2 – 1 avocado
cumin, to taste
dash of sea salt
dash of lemon juice
optional: garlic or shallot to taste

Cut up avocado. Place carrot juice in blender. Add avocado and
blend to desired thickness. Add cumin, salt and lemon juice to
taste. Blend. Pour over sprouts and chopped veggies in bowl. Serves
1.

Alternative: Eliminate cumin and add 2 teaspoons grated ginger
root. (for spice lovers use both cumin and ginger).

Variation: For a nutritious Seaweed Carrot Soup: Double the recipe
and add 1/2 cup dulse pieces and 1/2 cup clover, alfalfa or
sunflower sprouts, blend. Serves 2.

Hope i helped!

i’m already vegetarian (almost 2 years now).
i used to be vegan and i’ve realized that ever since i stopped being vegan and started eating a lot of junk food, my immune system has weakened. is it such a bad idea to not eat dairy at all and live on a predominately raw foods diet? (i know i could never be 100% raw foodist)

Dairy is bad for you. Humans are not supposed to drink cow’s milk – it’s absurd. But the dairy companies have got the entire country thinking you need three glasses a day. What a crock. Logically, it makes NO sense.

Raw food is the best you could do for your body. It’s very hard though.

Maybe it was a world leader who avoided or ended early a catastrophic war.

Maybe it was an inventor of a safety device.

Maybe it was the discoverer of a vaccine for a deadly illness.

Maybe it was the inventor of a method of agriculture that brought millions out of a starvation death.

It could be anything. So, what is it? Who is the ultimate life-saver in raw numbers of lives saved?
So far we have TWO answers for Edward Jenner and his smallpox vaccine, and TWO answers for Norman Borlaug and his hybrid wheat.

Then we have one answer for Stalin, which is fascinating in itself.

This is really interesting!

Norman Borlaug. From his obit:

"Norman Borlaug rose from his childhood on an Iowa farm to develop a type of wheat that helped feed the world, fostering a movement that is credited with saving up to 1 billion people from starvation."

" ‘Norman E. Borlaug saved more lives than any man in human history,’ said Josette Sheeran, executive director of the U.N. World Food Program."

Jenner, Lister, Flemming, and Pasteur, amongst others, changed health and hygiene, but aside from air and water, food is the most crucial need. And 1,000,000,000 is a lot of people.
