Raw foodist ‘David Wolfe’ says in one of his books that he once awoke to find a wild bird playing about him with no fear. There are also noted instances when nature bows down to help and aid one who lives a pure and natural life.

I was wanting to know if people have encountered such strange yet natural experiences?

Alright, I am a frustrated raw foodist. Right now I am about 75%, but I have been wondering about the B Vitamin issue..

In my research it has come up that David Wolfe mentions in an interview that he eats ants for B Vitamins, but this interview seems to have happened in between the last edition of The Sunfood Diet Success System, and the new edition.. I have now read both versions.. Neither say ANYTHING about it that I have noticed..
I’d ask on the raw food forum, but it has come up before, and turns into a huge argument between the raw dairy people and the vegans.. To me, raw dairy is not an option.. I’m vegan, and have been for a long time. Right now I’m just taking the supplements.. Try to be respectful of other beliefs in your answer, but I’m trying to figure out if the supplements are necessary.. or is there a better source.

According to David Wolfe, a raw food specialist, you cannot over eat on a raw food diet. His claim is that because of the form as well as types of food you will eat, naturally you will regulate yourself.

In my experience I find this to be true. In fact I feel satiated more than I ever did as an omnivore, vegetarian & or vegan.
Bill, in this instance, no.
Cecil J. Tal…, I think you do not understand what a raw food diet is. Sarcasm is often a defense mechanism used by people to ridicule what they do not understand.
iltmaemc, the question implies without harmful consequence.
Stephanie S, right on, I agree.
Tall-angel, and that I will, but in a manner that best for myself, and the world.
schenzy, thank you for your support and the links you have provided. Blessings : )
AndyB, I challenge you to try it and see. When I eat raw I truly feel so full I eat suprising less than when I eat a non raw food diet.
beth inside, raw does not mean not heated, just not above 119 degree.

Much attention is being given to the so-called "SuperFoods". What constitutes a Super Food, what are Super Foods, and why might you need or want to consider Super-Foods?

There is the WebMD SuperFood List by the supposed experts…borrriinng! The Wiki Super-Foods list, much better, and actually quite interesting…but let’s err on the side of the raw foodists, the people that are actually known to eat "super-foods". Here we will present a list of David Wolfe’s SuperFoods with short descriptions. Let’s lean towards the guy that spent 10 years of his life traveling the globe and searching out the stuff. But first let’s acquiesce to the capable Wikipedia for the currently accepted definition of SUPERFOODS.

super foods” width=”120″ height=”80″ />

"Superfood" is a term sometimes used to describe food with high phytonutrient content that some may believe confers health benefits as a result. For example, blueberries are often considered a superfood (or superfruit) because they contain significant amounts of antioxidants, anthocyanins, vitamin C, manganese and dietary fiber. However, the term is not in common currency amongst dietitians and nutritional scientists, many of whom dispute the claims made that consuming particular foodstuffs can have a health benefit^. There is no legal definition of the term and it has been alleged that this has led to it being over-used as a marketing tool."
