I’ve fallen in love with Palm Sugar. Palm sugar is made from the flower nectar of the good old coconut (the coconut palm really is the plant that keeps on giving). It is made from nectar harvested from coconut blossoms, which is then boiled to stabilize it and stop it fermenting, then dried and packaged. This of course means that Palm Sugar is not raw – this has been something I’ve been trying to work out, as there seems to be some confusion and conflicting information around, but I’m pretty sure I’ve come to the right conclusion finally.

Interesting! I just learned something about my blood pressure. I haven’t taken my blood pressure since returning to a mostly raw food diet, but thought I’d see if there was any change and so took a reading a little while ago.
Since I got my blood pressure monitor a couple of years ago, I’ve always had fairly low blood pressure. Usually around 105/63 ish. My heart rate stays fairly low also these days – around 60 beats a minute and first thing in the morning it was around 55 beats a minute the last time I checked. [...]
Mike Adams the health ranger has an article linked to from his newsletter today about the famous Dr Oz – from the Oprah Winfrey show – having recently had surgery for a pre-cancerous colon polyp.

Cured his kidney disease. Went from 24 medications to 5 at the time of this video (probably none now – I hope!). He has medical records and MRI’s to prove everything being said. Your doctor won’t believe that this is possible – his didn’t. [...]
Food Matters discusses the problems with our food supply, the fact that we are gorging down massive amounts of food, but are suffering from malnutrition at the same time. It also discusses the fact that when things go wrong, we’ve been programmed to reach for a pill to fix it and that the ‘take a pill to fix it’ thinking doesn’t work. To fix the problem, we must address the cause. [...]
Massage is a popular therapy these days and becoming more and more so. It’s also becoming a popular profession and rightly so. It’s a great career choice and it’s mostly an enjoyable job.
Because it is seen as a career with the potential to earn a good hourly rate, there are many people making the decision to study massage and go into business. The majority of those who decide to take up massage are women and that’s understandable because us gals are the nurturers and carers. [...]
