VIDEO #2 of my weekly chats with my friend Dave the raw food truck driver! ❤ My friend Dave the raw food truck driver tells his story of how he came from the brink of death to heal himself of several diseases including colon cancer, type II diabetes, kidney disease, with the consumption of raw foods. Not to mention his amazing weight loss of 178 pounds over the last 16 months, and he’s not stopping there. He is going to go ALL the way with his health, and wants YOU too as well. This guy is a TRUE SUPERHERO!! ❤ The book he references in the video is: There is a Cure for Diabetes by Gabriel Cousens, MD bit.ly

b12 is a very controversial issue, Many raw vegans claim to NEVER need any b12 supplement and are doing fantastic , are very Healthy
Dan is one of them, alot of b12 supplements are animal based food
nice 1 dave
Dave, you are RAWesome!!! Keep it up!
liferegenerator: thanks for your comment. I see my thinking was wrong about raw food not being normal food. Really, raw food is the greatest normal food, I sold out to the thinking of processed food being normal.
I decided to eat like any other Thanksgiving holiday. I feel tired and brought down. So, I will start tomarrow fresh on real “normal” raw food again.
Raw food is real food! You are right on schedule!
OK, so I am overweight. For a week I have been adding raw foods I like. One week later, I am almost eating all raw. I can’t stand the taste of cooked food and crave the raw.
Is that normal?
Also, today I tried to eat a regular meal and the slim that was formed in my mouth, made it all come back up. Is that normal or is my body rejecting the cooked food just for now?
depends on where you get your b-12 from. you can’t spirulina and chlorella are both raw plants, and have more than enough b-12.
I went Vegan in March 2009…stuck with it for about 5 months…haven’t done so well lately, but am interested in going raw, mainly for health reasons. It’s important to know that as vegetarian and especially as vegan it’s very difficult to get the B12 that you need. You need to take a B12 supplement, and as for the Vitamin D…just step out into the sunshine.
Thank you for these segments. I love that you cleared up the pounds loss time 16 months. 12-16 months you lost it, your enthusiasum is enough for me. You are teaching me. I am obese working towards 100lbs weight loss. Thank you
when is dave going on some mainstream tv show? he is a great inspiration, he is just a normal joe.
You get plenty of AMINO ACIDS on the raw food diet! Your body cannot use protein…
This is amazing. I’ve been interested in doing a raw food diet for a while and this really motivates me. My only question is, do you get enough protein from the nuts and seeds?
Raw vegetables fruits and nuts are good carbs. They are complex carbs. Bread and pasta are bad carbs. They are simple carbs. Anything that is processed, such as ground up, filtered, cooked, etc. is NOT raw.
I tried to be raw, I ended up extremely b12 and vitamin D anemic. The anemia made me exhausted. It isn’t for everyone. I am just regular vegetarian right now.
I trust and love all of you . No need to apologize for any thing ,stay cool -stay strong- stay lining AAA+++
Carbs come from fruit!
WOW! :O
amazing….
so you don’t eat eggs and cheese too… umm..
so really VEGAN kinda?
my respect to you!
hehe)
I try to eat a bit more healthy (which is in fact eating some vegs and fruits, which already is a succes for me
And drinking water….
I am interested in raw foods and more fruits/vegs. Thank you for inspiring!
btw: no carbs at all…so umm…. you get all your needed stuff?
In vegtables are carbs, right?
hmmm… i still have a lot to learn about food.
Thank you
No carbs! Juices and raw food recipes!
All the time? So no carbs at all??
Or just like this in “fasts” ? (once in a while i mean)
wow…
Just fruits vegetables nuts and seeds!
Really cool. Congrats!
So do you do juices and rawfoods like in fasts, or ALL the time?
In the last case, so you eat only fruits and vegetables? Do you also eat pasta and carbs? Just wondering…Sorry if this was a stupid question.
Dave has transformed in the last week like a friggin miracle! It’s unreal! How! Colonic!
Hey Dan, how is Dave doing??? his story and journey are so captivating
If those will help you to stay balanced they are good foods for you! In raw food we cook nothing…
on raw food can you cook grains like rice and quinoa in plain water no oil or salt?? is it still ok, because i know cooking can also enhance nutrition in some foods…please answer
Thank you for sharing. This is very inspiring.
