An even worse than Swine Flu Virus is sweeping world aided by the
current state of the world. This one is being kept quiet because of the
mass hysteria it would create and the fact that official sources know
that the only "cure" is non drug based and free to everybody!
The Fearundoomungloom Virus, or the FuDGe virus as its been nicknamed
by microbiologists trying to study it, has been circulating the planet
for thousands of years quite harmlessly minding its own business. The
reason it is so named because of how it begins to become pathogenic
only when people have been subjected to external factors such as fear,
doom and gloom. It is becoming a problem now because there is so much
fear doom and glood about and the environment within people's bodies
that is being created compounded by poor diets and the over use of
drugs and chemicals is allowing it to thrive out and get out of control.
What it really loves is a cold, damp, acidic, deoxygenated polluted chemical rich toxic environment to live in, that has a weak immune system that is supressed by negative thoughts such as fear, hate, and depression brought about by fear mongering, doom and gloom, pollution, stress and lack of exercise and a diet that is low in nutrients, that allows it to thrive and colonize inside an unsuspecting body.
Sherri Tenpenny, D.O, one of the country's most knowledgeable and outspoken physicians regarding the impact of vaccines on health, has published an interesting article on the hysteria surrounding Swine Flu.
My book, FOWL!, published in 2006, foretold the events that are now happening in Mexico. Reported death rates are skyrocketing, from 20 to 60 to 86, in a matter of hours. More than 1,300 others have supposedly become ill with "suspected" cases of the infection and reports are coming in from various States and Canada of swine flu. There are no sources or references given with these numbers; we have to take the word of CNN. A short look back at plans that were put in place several years ago will confirm this is not a spontaneous eruption and the solution – global vaccination – has been in the works for quite some time.
It is pretty rare that I recommend turning on your television, but I have a feeling this one will be worth it.
Poisoned Waters is a documentary by PBS about the toxic nature of America's waters.
In the documentary Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Hedrick Smith
examines the growing hazards to human health and the ecosystem. Smith also talks to experts who talk about what we, as a country, can do about the situation.
Poisoned Waters airs tonight, April 21st, at 9 PM EST.
This manifesto has nothing to do with health or raw foods. I just felt moved to link to it from this site since I know so many readers of We Like It Raw have blogs of their own.
Masala is a collection of the hottest raw food blogs on Earth, maybe even Mars. Here are some links featured on Masala this week that make great weekend reading.

My friend Laura Bruno recently gave a talk at the Petaluma Raw Food Potluck on some of my most favorite topics: Synchronicity, Intuition and Intention. I deeply enjoyed this presentation and I have a feeling you will to.

This week's My Way feature comes to us from the Land Down Under. Casey Lorraine Thomas is a Life Coach and Detox Counselor based in Perth, Australia. Casey’s mission in life is to "help her clients awaken to their highest potential and achieve true vitality and radiant health." On a personal level Casey enjoys Bikram yoga, juicing, laying on the grass and, of course, sharing.
My Way: Casey Lorraine Thomas
I love communities like GITMR that allow people from all over the world to connect - even all the way from “little” ol’ Australia. There is such a huge community for raw and health lovers alike in the US and the UK, and while there is more and more happening in Australia, we still need to get the message out that there is support, community and that we are on the raw map! I believe we are on the brink of a huge shift in consciousness over here in Oz. So here’s a look into the Aussie way, My Way.
It's Saturday and boy, I am happy. I LOVE my job, I love the work I do, the people I work with, how creative I get to be. But I do find it incredibly easy to work round the clock so when the weekend rolls round and there are lots of social plans, I get my cue to really stop and let my hair down away from the computer. I have to make a conscious effort to get time away from technology on the weekends because so much of my work is online or writing. During the week I always take steps to get my chi flowing so the time at a desk doesn’t drain me.
Today I jumped out of bed to get to a Bikram yoga class. A studio has recently opened in my home city of Perth, and the West Aussies are mad about it. Honestly, Bikram makes me feel amazing. My diet already does that, and all the things I do to keep my chi flowing, and Bikram really just multiplies the effect. I always feel extra light-hearted and it's the perfect antidote to a week at the computer and the perfect way to set up my weekend. I stop by my favourite organic produce market on the way home and load up with a giant box of mostly greens. I just love looking at the big piles of produce I buy. The colours always make me happy and so excited to get all that incredible goodness into me. My friends, who are truly amazing, regularly laugh (with affection) at my excitement over fresh plant food. It’s all part of the fun.
After two quarts of filtered water, I made my man and I a quart of green juice each at about 2pm. Today it was kale, zucchini, cucumber, carrot, lime and apple. I always add apples to sweeten the juice for my partner as he doesn't like it really green like me. I blogged about how the routine works for me here. Useful if you are living with someone who isn't heavily into eating clean but will take what you give them! My juice habit is the core of my diet so I make the time and effort for it everyday and reap the massive benefit.
After a bit of house cleaning I made some 'Pumpkin Pie in a bowl" from Natalia Rose's book Raw Food Life Force Energy. So delicious. I had two bowls before we headed out to a friend's leaving do. At the bar, I had iced water with fresh lime and then it was off to see another friend who was visiting for the weekend. I picked up some organic carrots and cucumber, and mashed together an avocado, lime, a tomato and some pepper for some guacamole to dip the veg in. I had some goji berries and some 74% Dagoba dark chocolate to follow. The combination of the lime water, the outdoor garden at the bar and the warm, balmy weather, I felt like I was on holiday in a tropical paradise. I love Australia and I love this lifestyle. I find it so easy to fit my dietary and lifestyle choices into my life now. It just comes easily to me although I remember when it wasn't quite so simple.
I woke up feeling refreshed Sunday, jumped on my mini-tramp for a few minutes, then walked the two minutes to the beach. It's a beautiful, hot sunny day and I am blessed to live only a two minute walk from white sandy shores and fresh sea air. My partner and I watched families and friends playing on the beach and surf life-savers strutting their stuff. Nice bit of eye candy for a Sunday morning! Back at home, I made us a giant vegetable juice each of spinach, beet greens, beets, carrot, limes and a little cucumber. Yum!
Then we were off to wander through some markets in Fremantle, an old shipping port town near Perth and we couldn’t resist lying on the grass in the park basking up the sunshine and reading our books. At the moment I’m reading Book 2 in the Anastasia series. It’s a very enjoyable read and has so much depth and meaning – I love it! We then popped into a favourite organic café of mine for herbal tea and I had two delicious raw “Bliss Balls”. At home I spent some time on twitter and facebook and prepared myself for the working week ahead, setting my intentions, scheduling my timetable and preparing my office space (and my head space!) for a busy week ahead.
Monday I got straight into a very busy work day and put the finishing touches on my All-In-One Workbook for my brand spanking new group coaching program Awaken Your Va-Va-VOOM, which starts on 16 April (and there is still places left!).
I was so involved in my work that I didn’t even think about putting anything other than water into my body until I felt really ready and in a calm and relaxed state. I always find I get hiccups if I drink my juice when my head is swimming so I like to take a more peaceful moment and also really be hungry for it. Today I made 1.5 quarts of a simple combo of broccoli, cucumber, lime and ginger. After the juice I did a great energy meditation and felt the buzz as it charged me up.
I was on fire with my work output all afternoon and stopped around 8pm for some raw nori rolls with a carrot and avocado cream filling, plus sprouts and cucumber. I finished it off with two bananas for dessert while catching up with my man.
Tuesday was another big working day for me, but first, I had a date with my colon…yes you heard me right, we have a very close relationship. Colonics and I go together like peas in a pod. Love them! I felt particularly incredible after my colonic today and had super amounts of energy. I tried to expel some of it at home by doing some crazy dancing and bouncing moves on my mini-tramp while catching Oprah. Oh if the neighbours could see me… And yes, I’m not even a closet fan of Oprah, I’m just a straight out fan! Around 2pm I had a yummy juice of romaine, beet greens, lime, ginger and cucumber. After an afternoon of coaching calls and going over some notes for my free Teleclass (recording available here), I finished the day with some more Pumpkin Pie in a Bowl soup and a big bowl of my Simply Delicious Salad. Lick my lips delicious!
Now here I am, Tuesday night, writing the content for this feature, and I am grinning so wide. Why? Because I am completely head over heels in love with My Way.
Jake and Amir are two best friends (sort of) who have a podcast where they talk about being BFFs. The podcast started off as an office joke but now it's a pretty big deal on the web.
Amir's character is known for eating a totally unhealthy diet. His staple food/meal (if you could call it a meal) is actually a box of chicken McNuggets from McDonalds. Amir has even been known to abstain from drinking water. Crazy kid.
If there was an exact opposite version of We Like It Raw, Amir would be me and the site would be called "We Like It Cooked". Amir would post stuff like this.
Anyway, on a recent episode of their show Amir talked about doing the Master Cleanse. I found it so funny, random, and crazy that I just had to post it here. Hopefully you enjoy too!
