Raw Vegan and Gluten-Free!

After 15 years of managing my own gluten intolerance, I have finally arrived at a very workable solution. Through trial and error, my health has gradually improved to the point that no one would ever know by looking at me, that I was ever seriously ill.

Just recently, after reading numerous books and articles on the Raw Vegan Lifestyle, I decided to give it a whirl, and see if I noticed any difference in my overall health and energy levels.

Within just a few weeks, I noticed that my energy was higher and more sustained that previously noted. I also started to pull out of a yearlong malaise, for which I had tried a variety of holistic remedies.

The other curiosity that seriously pleased me, is that by eating a raw vegan diet, I was automatically eating gluten-free! Whoopee! I could say good-bye to the guesswork and complication of my previous gluten-free diet.

I can't say that I am 100% raw vegan, but I do stay at what's called "High Raw." Which basically translates to eating a lot of raw foods most of the time.

The purpose of this page is to consolidate resources into one place so that you can find the support you need for your own raw vegan adventure. David Wolfe's book is a lifesaver, and everything that follows is information about some of the superfoods and places to get many of the superfoods that he recommends in his book.

If you would like to see other resources here, please drop me a note, and let me know.

To your continued good health! May you be richly blessed, now and always!

These are the authentic, very pure Grade A Goji berries that are shade dried, organically cultivated wild plants. Tibetan Lycium Eleagnus Barbarum (Tibetan Goji Berry) is the original source of this great energetic ancient Lycium berry and these Tibetan Goji berries are the purest form of the Lycium berry and come from a compassionate culture that honors all life. These Tibetan Goji berries have been grown in protected valleys in wild and cultivated areas of Inner Mongolia in million year-old soil where pesticides have never been used.

You will know when you are eating true Authentic Tibetan Goji Berries because they are very sweet and delicious tasting. If you get a cardboard sensation you may not be eating the true Goji (gogi as some type it).

These tibetan goji berries are a very rich source of vitamin C, having 500 times more vitamin C per ounce than oranges. They are also a superb source of vitamin A, more beta carotene than carrots. They have vitamins B1, B2, B6, and E and are becoming a famous antioxidant (Lab verified 36000 orac units). They also are a rich source of both selenium and germanium. The goji berries have 18 amino acids (higher than bee pollen) and 21 trace minerals, linoleic acid and other beneficial food co-factors. Tibetan Goji Berries are a true "super" raw food of the highest type. It takes approximately 3 kilos (6.6 lbs) of fresh berries to make 1/2 kilo (18 oz) of dried. That's a lot of berries.

Goji berries strengthen the immune system and may stimulate release of rejuvenate human growth hormone by the pituitary gland. Goji berries have been related, traditionally, as strength building, adding longevity and linked to sexual potency. In some study groups with elderly people given goji berries they showed increased optimism, appetite improvement, patients slept better, and some patients partially or fully recovered their sexual function. Some claim that the Goji is a spiritually significant food. Nutrition can be spiritual and enhance your spiritual nature.

Please respect that the raw Goji Berry is a nutritionally dense, medicinal food. A therapeutic dose would be 1 to 2 handfuls or 10 to 30 grams per day however more can be eaten depending on individual needs. These raw goji berry treats are a great source of protein (13%) too.

Sunfood Nutrition's Raw Organic Cacao Powder leads the superfood industry in quality, flavor, eco-packaging, and antioxidant value. This is one of Sunfood Nutrition's premier superfoods and is one of the most unique and beautiful chocolate products on Earth.

What is Raw Organic Cacao Powder (Chocolate Powder)?

All chocolate is made from Cacao Beans (also known as Cocoa Beans). Cacao is chocolate! All the antioxidant value, mineral benefits, neurotransmitter rejuvenating properties, and overall health-giving qualities of chocolate are found in raw Cacao Beans!

Sunfood Nutrition%u2122 Raw Organic Chocolate Powder is created by cold-pressing Sunfood Nutrition%u2122 Raw Cacao Beans into a cake separating the oil from the protein and fiber. The remaining dry 'cake-like' material is then cold-ground, fine-milled and sifted so that only the finest, most bio-available raw Cacao particles filter through into the finished product. The temperature is never allowed to exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit and is usually 104 degrees F (most other cocoa powders are exposed to temperatures as high as 300 degrees Fahrenheit!). A high-accuracy thermometer monitors the process. This low temperature process keeps delicate vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants intact, allowing for maximum digestion and absorption.

Our Certified Organic Chocolate Powder is created from beautiful, clean, microbe-free Cacao Beans. Our Chocolate Powder is processed in a state-of-the-art facility in Ecuador. We package this outstanding product in the highest quality-amber glass bottle available on the market in order to protect the cacao powder from light.

No chemicals, no hexane, no solvents.

No sugar, no dairy.

Just one ingredient: raw, organic cacao powder.

How To Use Raw Cacao Powder:

Add cacao powder to all your favorite smoothies, elixirs, teas, coffee mixes, protein drinks, desserts or anything else you can think of. Just one or two spoonfuls can transform any recipe into a healthy chocolate treat. It even goes great on top of fresh fruit! Delight your friends with the best food ever! Enhance your pleasure to the maximum...enjoy!

Sunfood Nutrition %u2122 Raw Organic Chocolate Powder has a delightful, full, antioxidant-rich chocolate flavor.

Storage: Refrigeration or storage in a cool, dry place (out of direct sunlight) is recommended, yet not required. Sunfood Nutrition%u2122 Raw Organic Chocolate Powder is microbe-free and highly-stable.

The Amazing Story of Raw Cacao Powder

Who Ever Heard of Over 25,200 Antioxidants in a Single Spoonful of Chocolate?

After spending nearly two grueling years on research and development, extensive international traveling and endless fine-tuning...and after dropping a small fortune on the most rigorous possible ORAC antioxidant laboratory analysis...we are now able to offer you the most antioxidant-rich, most PURE and ridiculously great-tasting 100% Raw Cacao Powder...

It's the FIRST and ONLY product of its kind EVER!

From the desk of David Wolfe:

Dear Fellow Chocolate Lover:

If you're like me - always looking to take your Chocolate experience to the next level of pure delight - then this may be the most important single message you will ever read.

That's because you're about to discover the most delicious, easy-to-use and mega-potent (955 ORAC units per gram!) form of Chocolate ever revealed. One that's meticulously been kept below 120 degrees Fahrenheit from the tree all the way to the bottle.

Let me make this clear - you've never been able to get 25,200 ORAC units of Antioxidant power in a spoonful of ANYTHING - but now you can get it all and more in one single serving of delicious Raw Organic Cacao Powder!

Isn't it awesome to be one of the pioneers - to be MILES ahead of the natural foods curve? I say this because while everyone else is singing the praise of dark chocolate - we're way, way beyond that.

And now this product is FINALLY "living" proof of...

The Shocking Difference Between COOKED Cocoa Powder and RAW Cacao Powder!

But before I reveal the astonishing facts - let me quickly simplify the rating scale the USDA has developed, called ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity). Basically it's a high-tech way of measuring the ability of antioxidants to absorb cell damaging, wrinkle-causing, tissue-destructive free radicals.

Many companies use different ORAC units in their product descriptions, creating some confusion when one is trying to compare one ORAC score to another.

Here's an example to illustrate a common confusion: both dark cocoa powder and the goji berry (the goji berry is a superfood from China) are high on the ORAC scale. Roasted cocoa powder tops the list with a score of 26,000. The goji berry rates strongly, with a score commonly found on the internet of 25,300. But what is creating confusion amongst consumers is that the cocoa powder and the goji ORAC ratings are for 100 grams! That's much more than a typical serving. If you calculate the ORAC units per gram you quickly see that dark cocoa powder is at 260 and goji is 253.

Not bad, but that's nothing compared to the whopping 955 ORAC Units found in each gram of raw organic Cacao Powder!

This is a great validation of the superfood lifestyle we all get to enjoy.

Check the math - the raw version contains 367% more antioxidants than the very best cooked version. (On the same 100 gram scale as above, Raw Organic Cacao Powder would have over 95,500 ORAC units compared to the 26,000 in the roasted...)

Plus, we know this is 100% accurate because I personally sent our Raw Organic Cacao Powder to Brunswick Laboratories in Wareham, Massachusetts.

Brunswick is the pioneer and a world leader in research testing related to Antioxidants and oxidative stress - they're the best of the best. Their facility is where all the big players in the supplement industry get their products tested for antioxidant levels.

And, honestly, with as much work and fine tuning as we'd put into this product, I expected to see a nice difference for sure. But 367% higher in our Cacao Powder - that's more than anyone could ever have predicted!

But this is only the beginning. I've got an even more thrilling piece of info for you. Now here's what I want you to do...

...Take all of the great scientific things you are hearing about chocolate and multiply them by about seven times!

You can actually do that because pure dark chocolate (which, to most researchers, is the benchmark of healthy chocolate) contains about 132 ORAC units per gram.

Again, that's much higher than most foods. But it's still meager compared to the 955 units in our Raw Organic Cacao Powder. In fact, our Cacao Powder has about 723% more (or about 7 times more) antioxidants gram-per-gram than typical dark chocolate.

Here are just a few examples of what I mean:

* Cornell University food scientists say that cocoa has nearly twice the antioxidants of red wine and up to three times those found in green tea. With Raw Cacao Powder, it would be 14 times more than Red Wine and 21 times more than Green Tea!

* Italian researchers found eating 100 grams of dark chocolate each day for 15 days lowered blood pressure in the 15-person study. The University of L'Aquila team also found the body's ability to metabolize sugar - a problem for people with diabetes - was improved. Because the effect was believed to be due to Antioxidant levels, with Raw Cacao Powder we can likely multiply this effect.

* Doctor Gabriel Cousens' clinical research (which I have taken part in) has demonstrated that eating cacao and cacao products (chocolate powder) are safe and healthy and can actually help to improve some blood sugar disorders. Dr. Cousens wrote to me about his results with cacao. He also made the following statement%u2026

"Cacao polyphenols have been scientifically shown to:

1. Lower blood pressure

2. Lower vascular cell adhesion

3. Increase circulating Nitric Oxide

4.Decrease platelet aggregation

5. Decrease rates of death from cardiac mortality and all mortality in general

6. Improve insulin sensitivity

7. Decrease fasting insulin

8. Increase blood flow to the brain

9. Inhibit plasma lipid oxidation

10. Decrease chronic inflammation in the body and cardio-vascular system in general."

* Dutch researchers indicate that dark chocolate contains four times the amount of catechin antioxidants than black tea. With Raw Cacao Powder, it would be 28 times more than Black Tea and potentially 7 times the protection!

* In trials, doctors at Harvard found that Antioxidant compounds called Flavonols in chocolate help the body to produce Nitric Oxide, a compound essential for proper heart function. (Nitric oxide is also believed by some bodybuilders to help increase muscularity). Again, with Raw Cacao Powder, this effect could easily be multiplied.

* There are many more examples than I could ever list here!

You get the point. Just remember this figure of roughly 723% (or 7 times) when you read about the health benefits of dark chocolate - because that's how much MORE Antioxidant activity Sunfood Nutrition's%u2122 Raw Cacao Powder has.

And not only that...

...because it's concentrated, our Raw Organic Cacao Powder has at least 33% more of many of cacao's most vital nutrients!

In Raw Cacao Powder, much of the oil is removed, while nearly all of the active nutrients remain. For example...

* Did you know the amino acid Tryptophan is found naturally in cacao. Tryptophan enhances relaxation and promotes better sleep? Now you'll get at least 33% more tryptophan when you use Raw Cacao Powder!

* Researchers have discovered that phenylethylamine (PEA) has a positive effect in enhancing feelings of falling in LOVE! And Chocolate has been proven to be an excellent source of PEA. Now you can love at least 33% more with Raw Cacao Powder!

Live Liquid Marine Phytoplankton preserved in pure concentrated ocean water.

This pure 'Beyond Organic' super-nutrient from the ocean provides the body with an increase in residual energy that builds up significantly when it is ingested on a daily basis. Its abundance of naturally produced vitamins, minerals and original life force (absorbed directly from the Sun) generates a whole body inner strength.

The marine phytoplankton bio-mass is blended into an ocean derived concentrated ionic trace mineral solution. This concentrated solution is highly beneficial to human health as it contains more than 90 ionic and trace minerals and is produced using a natural evaporation process employing the sun and the wind which eliminates 93% of the sodium. This purified ocean water concentrate has the power to preserve the marine phytoplankton in suspended animation, protecting the original life energy, allowing it to be bottled and stored at room temperature with no deterioration. The live blend is then super charged by infusing it with billions of biophotons and finally potentized energetically with its own frequency to maximize the nutritional life force!

The intense chlorophyll content also increases oxygen uptake which improves performance and endurance. With the smallest nano-particulate size of all micro algaeÂ's, vital life energy is delivered at the DNA/Mitochondria level and also penetrates the blood/brain barrier -- feeding the higher master glands located deep in the brain and stimulating significant mental clarity.

The Açai (ah-sigh-EE) berry is quickly taking over other fruits as the new superfood of choice. Açai berry is the fruit from a special palm tree that grows in the Amazon River rainforest and tastes like a cross between blueberries and chocolate. Acai is considered to be one of the most powerful and nutritious superfoods on the planet and packs more than 10 times the antioxidant properties of red grapes and twice that of blueberries. This powerful little berry packs a punch to dis-ease offering essential minerals such as iron, potassium, phosphorus and calcium, Vitamin B1 (Thiamin), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Vitamin C, and Vitamin E (Tocopherol). Studies on açai have also discovered that it strengthens the immune system, fights infection, protects the heart, and can control prostate enlargement.

Antioxidants anyone? With just one 3g teaspoon per day of our pure organic Açai freeze dried powder you are getting 2601 orac units! Orac is the antioxidant anthocyanin necessary to rid our body of free radical toxins. The daily recommended orac intake to destroy free radicals and flush toxins is 2400.

http://www.oprah.com/health/beauty/health_beauty_prescription.jhtml

http://news.ufl.edu/2006/01/12/berries

How do you know if you're buying the real thing? Pure açai juice will be very thick, pulpy and very oily from the natural Omegas 3, 6 and 9 of the fruit. Not all açai is equal. Much of the açai that comes to the U.S is very low in solids and also watered down and/or has a very low ORAC rating, which quantifies the antioxidants (anthocyanins) content. Amazon Thunder is the only company with regulatory quality control in place to ensure that only the purest and highest quality açai is used in our products.

There are many companies that add carriers even to freeze dried açai. But, how can you tell? Open the capsules -- the powder should be oily from the Omegas 3, 6 and 9. The powder should literally cling to your hand and it should taste as açai tastes -- blueberry-like with a hint of chocolate. Why do companies add these fillers? It is much more efficient for them and it makes the filling process much easier. Because of the oils in the açai it can be very messy to fill. Amazon Thunder is the only company in the world making 100% pure, freeze dried açai capsules and scoop powder and we do it at all costs because the customer deserves the best; their health is on the line, so they bring the best! Amazon Thunder has the only açaí concentrate with no added sugar (including cane sugar/syrup or guarana, which is also a sugar and acts like a caffeine)!

Camu camu (Myrciaria dubia) is a native bush to the South American rainforest that produces a fruit containing more vitamin C than any other known botanical source (for comparison: a fresh camu camu berry may contain up to 4% vitamin C, whereas a lemon may contain up to 0.5% vitamin C). Some estimate that camu camu berries have 30 times as much vitamin C as oranges. Our camu camu posses an incredible 380 mg of immune-supportive Vitamin C in every 1/2 teaspoon serving!

Consider the words of Dr. James Duke, USDA scientist and author of The Green Pharmacy: "I take vitamin C for colds...I prefer to get mine from camu camu, the amazing Amazonian fruit that has the world's highest vitamin C content."

Indigenous Amazonian peoples would pick the camu camu berries in season, dry them, and use them medicinally for the rest of the year. This purplish-red berry becomes light beige in color when dried and powdered.

The camu camu berry is an excellent source of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, the amino acids serine, valine and leucine, as well as small amounts of the vitamins B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin) and B3 (niacin). Camu camu also contains high levels of anthocyanins (a powerful antioxidant), bioflavonoids, and other essential co-factors. All of these nutrients help the body make full use of the abundant levels of Vitamin C found in this superfruit.

Traditionally, camu camu has been used to:

* support the immune system
* maintain excellent eyesight
* create beautiful skin
* ward off viral infections
* support strong collagen, tendons and ligaments
* decrease inflammation
* improve respiratory (lung) health
* help maintain optimal clarity of mind in times of stress and anxiety

Camu camu berries especially support the functions of the brain, eyes, heart, liver and skin.

"One of the most powerful botanical substances known. If you know the power of vitamin C, camu camu berry powder is the best source. It's essential." - David Wolfe, author of The Sunfood Diet Success System and Eating for Beauty

"There is no doubt that ascorbic acid [Vitamin C] is required for the synthesis of collagen in the bodies of human beings and other animals. One of the important functions of collagen is its service in strengthening the intercellular cement that holds the cells of the body together in various tissues. It is not unlikely that part of the effectiveness of vitamin C against the common cold, influenza, and other viral diseases can be attributed to this strengthening effect, and in this way preventing or hindering the motion of the virus particles through the tissues and into the cells." - Linus Pauling, Vitamin C, the Common Cold, and the Flu, 1971, p.43-45
