journey to raw health

Anyone who has read this blog knows that I am a Vegan. That means I do not consume anything that comes from an animal for food, including the wearing of leather or fur for clothing, shoes, furniture, etc. I subscribe to Robert Cohen’s email and often refer people to his site, www.notmilk.com . It has lots of documented information about the dairy industry. Believe me when I tell you that if you have any doubts about whether or not the comsumption of dairy is “good for you”, just get on over and do yourself some educating.

I got an email from Robert today asking me for 95 minutes. I happened to have it, so, I did as he asked and watched a documentary entitled “Earthlings“.

Now, I need to tell you. I usually do not watch animal rights films anymore because they are very upsetting to me. I know of the abuse, it is one of the reasons I no longer eat animals. But, there were 3 parts to this film, and each part had more parts.

To view this planet as a human being, as the caretakers of all other species and the good Earth itself, we truly need to stop and think about our daily actions and how they impact the world around us.

I encourage anyone that happens to read this blog to take that 95 minutes that Robert asked me for, watch this film, and think about how your daily actions impact the lives of the animals on this planet. The suffering of and violence to the animals  that we claim ignorance of for our own selfish pleasures, has much to do with the violence that is spreading all over this earth. It is all energy!

“Earthlings” is narrated by Joaquin Phoenix, Music by Moby.

Written, produced & directed by Shaun Monson.

Please take the time, go to http://veg-tv.info/Earthlings and get an education. Perhaps it will give you that nudge to help you upgrade your own consumer choices when it comes to food, clothing and companion pets.

I have my first day of training for my new job with the ARC tomorrow. But, first I will work at the chiropractor’s office giving 2 half hour massages. I will be giving notice to the owner that I will be ending my employment as a therapist by the months end. It is because I love myself enough to know that I am not valued there. The pay is low. I knew that when I started, but, there is also not enough work for me to make a living. And we are very different in how we help clients. I find myself compelled to speak with them about their eating habits and lifestyle. Getting adjusted and having a massage is not the only thing that people need guidance with. My hands feel the toxicity and I know that they have to change their lifestyle if they are to regain health.

I am writing a proposal to present to the YMCA or the YWCA. I will be teaching a series of classes on how to transition to healthier eating; introducing them to living and raw foods with a series of food preparation classes, recommending they eliminate all sugar and artificial sweeteners, reducing and eventually eliminating all meat and especially dairy products. People need to know the truth about our food supply and the lies that have been told to them about what they should eat for optimal health.

I know that this is my life’s purpose! Why else would I have been given a name whose initials spell D I E T ?
