*****VIDEO #10 UPDATE*****
This week, Dave’s with me here at the RV making what may be the most powerful & amazing juice recipe that mankind has ever known!
? DAVE THE RAW FOOD TRUCKER’S 3-GALLON
SUPER SPECIAL LIFE-SAVING POWER JUICE !!! ?
These ingredients are what Dave uses to make 3 gallons worth of juice at once, to last him 3 days on the road. This is an ULTRA LOW-glycemic juice & Dave credits it for helping to cure his body of Type II Diabetes & Stage IV Colon Cancer.
Dave is ALL about having his produce be 100% organic. As he healed himself of serious conditions & his body still isn’t done healing himself of all the excess weight, he feels this is vital. But you just do the best you can!
* I n g r e d i e n t s *
**In the preceding Video #9, Dave
went over all of the ingredients below…
Visit http://bit.ly/8iheT to see that first!**
— 5 bunches Spinach (w/ stems intact; not just the leaves)
— 2 bunches Red Chard
— 3 bunches Collard Greens
— 3 bunches Kale
— 4 bunches Cilantro
— 1 bunch Fresh Basil
— 4 bunches Beet Greens (Dave ONLY juices the greens of the beets & NOT the actual beets, as he’s still recovering from the diabetes. For those not dealing w/ diabetes, feel free to juice the beets!
— 6 Red Bell Peppers
— 4 Yellow Bell Peppers
— 2 heads Fennel
— 4 heads Celery
— 12 Cucumbers (unpeeled if organic; peeled if inorganic)
— 2 dozen on-the-vine Tomatoes
— 3 heads Broccoli
— 1 pound Baby Bok Choy (or 1 bunch Bok Choy)
— 1 bunch Mustard Greens (use a smaller amount if the flavor is too strong)
— 4 bunches Parsley (2 Regular, 2 Italian)
— 1 bunch Asparagus
— 1 large Fresh Aloe Leaf (inorganic ok; organic is rarely available…also, only juice the lower portion of it & always juice a bit & taste, juice a bit & taste, as it can be VERY potent)
— 1 bottle of E3Live Algae
— Rainbow Light Advanced Systems Digestive Enzymes (to help control gas, especially when you first jump into a program like this! If you can’t find this brand, look for a type that’s raw vegan & whole-plant sourced)
*Dan added a couple more ingredients,
picked fresh from the garden!*
— 1 bunch wild Lamb’s Quarters
— 1 bunch wild Plantain
* B e n e f i t s *
** Refer to previous video for more benefits http://bit.ly/8iheT **
— Plantain ~ Moves the lymphatic system: Pulls mucus, etc. out of the body
— Tomatoes ~ For delicious flavor!
— Aloe Leaf ~ Soothes the GI tract, especially if there are ulcers and/or inflammation!
— Broccoli ~ Some call it the “answer to cancer” but what do you think? 
* I n s p i r a t i o n *
— Green Herbs Heal! + Fruit Energizes!
— CUCUMBERS, BELL PEPPERS & TOMATOES are all technically fruits!
— Nothing in this video constitutes medical advice in any way, shape or form! We’re just 2 dudes who get super healthy when they eat fruits and vegetables & want you to be healthy too!
— As you start to dive deeper into getting healthier through eating & drinking highly nutritive raw fruits and vegetables, the life force within you dances more & more freely!
— The skin on the backs of Dave’s elbow are all irritated w/ some mucus even coming out. But that’s a good thing! His body is just releasing old toxins that he wants OUT!
— Dave & I have had colonics during heavy detox periods, and we encourage you to consider doing the same…but it’s your choice!
— WARNING: This juice tastes like pizza in a glass! The herbs & tomatoes are so flavorful!
— One can choose healing via raw vegetable & fruit juices…or medical procedures such as chemotherapy, radiation & surgery. Personally, I’d choose juicing as even if it was my time to leave planet Earth, what better way to go out than to actually feeling GOOD?!
***The cost of fruits & veggies for 3 gallons of juice to be drunk over a span of 3 days?
$75 ? Is $25 a day really too much to save your life?

VIDEO #5 of my weekly chats with my friend Dave the raw food trucker! ? Since we last saw Dave, he has gone down another couple of belt buckles! He has been drinking a lot of green juice: 1-1.5 liters 0.5-1 gallons a day…
Hear as he talks about colonics (and how he thought it was a gross idea at first), opening up his third eye, juice feasting, working out at the GYM and at rest stops on his trucker route, and more…
Hey, and did you know that way back at the start of Dave’s journey, that it took just FOUR DAYS of juice feasting for him to get off of his diabetic medications? You heard that right, 4 DAYS.
? Dave’s words of wisdom ?
If you fall down, just get up and start again!!
There is more digestible protein in 1 pound of dark green leafy vegetables, than there is in a 1-pound T-bone steak!
Thanks everyone for joining us again this week.
Love, Dan

VIDEO #12 of my weekly chats w/ my friend Dave the Raw Food Trucker! Today he talks COLONICS
For those new to this series, check out preceding videos here http://bit.ly/Hfc1X & this quick backgrounder on Dave’s amazing story of natural healing!:
My friend Dave the Raw Food Trucker 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, all via the consumption of raw foods. Not to mention his amazing weight loss of over 200 pounds over the last 18 months, and he’s not stopping there. He’s going to go ALL the way with his health, and wants YOU too as well. This guy is a TRUE SUPERHERO!!
*****VIDEO #12 UPDATE*****
This week, Dave talks about how his latest colonic must have *really* gotten his colon clean, as it literally transformed his body & his face overnight. He lost almost 2 inches from his waist. His face got thinner, and literally began to glow so much that literally about 30 people he knows all came up to him separately to tell him that he looked particularity great, that he looked thinner, that he looked more toned and/or something about him looked “different.”
SO…needless to say, Dave recommends colonics! Yeah, there may be those who think it has no benefit or that it is bad for you, but that hasn’t been the experience of people like Dave. They can be especially helpful during a period of deep cleansing and/or when you are on an extended juice feast or fast. For those who say it is “unnatural,” is going to the dentist natural?
So it’s now official…Dave has crossed the 200 pound threshold and has lost 203 pounds since he began this journey about one and a half years ago! Dave says he feels like he’s living on the life force! Just 18 short months ago he was literally dying, and now he feels better than ever!
Dave says that all the radical changes in his health and his weight started to happen when he took out all the animal products like meat, cheese and dairy…and how he personally believes that there IS no ‘healthy’ version of animal products (other than if you’ve been lost in a forest for a few months and are very hungry, of course!)
So back to colonics…instead of trying to decide who to listen to, regarding their possible benefits or drawbacks, why not just go out and find yourself a qualified colon therapist and then let your own body be the judge? Dave suggests that you simply listen to your body, and find what works for you!
So what do YOU think?
Make some comments and let us know!
Peace,
Dan & Dave

Angela Stokes of http://www.RawReform.com on the BBC News. Angela speaks about her remarkable weight loss transformation with raw foods. She lost around 160lbs (11.5 stone) with a raw lifestyle and shares this powerful message of healing with the world on her site http://www.rawreform.com

Naturopathic Doctors strongly suggest that we increase roughage (fiber) in our diets. The latest holistic medical research suggests the high incidence of heart disease, diabetes, bowel disease, hernia and diverticulitis in western countries on a lack of dietary fiber in the diet.
How much dietary fiber are you consuming on a daily basis?
Americans usually avoid high fiber diets because of a concern that it will increase gas levels and bloating. As a matter of fact eating fiber will help the normal detoxification processes, normalize your bowel and support maintenance of a healthy weight and prevent bowel diseases.
Dietary fiber amounts are now listed on most product labels in supermarkets.
It is suggested that we consume at least 35 grams of dietary fiber daily.
This amount can assist in re-establishing proper digestion in your body by toning and strengthening your bowel, eliminating harmful toxins. High Fiber Foods in Your Diet represent the revolutionary way for you to lose weight, prevent disease, stay slim and have
more energy. Dietary fiber and digestive enzymes are a great way to improve poor digestion.

DETOX: Harmful Or Helpful?
How can I hurt myself by detox?
* You can upset your electrolyte balance. Electrolytes are minerals like sodium and potassium that are dissolved in the blood and other body fluids. They must be present in very specific amounts and exact ratios for proper functioning of nerves and muscles, including the heart muscle.
* Detox can upset this balance by flushing essential minerals out of the body, resulting in muscle cramps, tremors, spasms, irregular heartbeat, and in some cases cardiac arrest. The heart stops, and unless the person receives immediate emergency medical treatment, s/he dies.
* Detox can remove needed fluid from the body. The resulting dehydration can lead to tremors, weakness, blurry vision, fainting spells, kidney damage, and in some cases death. Severe dehydration requires medical treatment. Drinking fluid may not hydrate cells and tissues quickly enough to prevent organ damage or death.
* Detox laxatives irritate intestinal nerve endings, which in turn stimulate muscle contractions that move the irritant through the gut and out of the body. After a while the nerve endings no longer respond to stimulation. The person must now take greater and greater amounts of laxatives to produce bowel movements. S/he has become laxative dependent and without artificial stimulation may not have any bowel movements at all.
* Detox lax strips away protective mucus that lines the colon, leaving it vulnerable to infection.
* Detox enemas can stretch the colon, which over time becomes a limp sack with no muscle tone. No longer can it generate the muscle contractions necessary to move fecal matter out of the body.
* Detox abusers seem to have more trouble with the following problems than do non-detoxers: irritable bowel syndrome (rectal pain, gas, and episodes of constipation and diarrhea) and bowel tumors (both benign and cancerous).
How much? If you drink enough fluid so that you rarely feel thirsty and produce between one and two liters of colorless or slightly yellow urine a day, your fluid intake is probably adequate.
Why don’t detox laxatives work?
Because detox laxatives work usually to empty the large intestine but the majority of calories, nutrients and fats are absorbed by the small intestine. What the detox laxative does is act as a diuretic and create the risk for dehydration and water loss, which gives the ILLUSION of weight loss. This is seriously harmful for your health! This can lead to insomnia, restlessness, severe headaches, heart palpitations, weakened bones, and other serious health issues.
Detox diuretics are similar to detox laxatives in that the person *thinks* they are losing weight, when indeed all they are losing is vital fluids. Detox diuretics not only elevate your heart rate leading to heart arrythmias and dizziness, but the dehydration that follows leads to kidney and other organ damage.
# An extreme cutback in calories for more than a day or two scares the body and sends it into survival mode. The body will work to conserve energy and slow down metabolism.
# In most cases, the lost weight is just water weight that will be regained after the detox program has ended.
# Some detox diets include herbal supplements that could contain laxatives. Dieters may feel lighter but they haven’t lost fat. Overuse of laxatives can lead to dehydration and other medical problems.
# While some fasters claim to experience a feeling of euphoria, the feeling may be due to the fact that they’ve stopped eating a lot of unhealthy food or feel good that they have lost some weight and gotten control of their eating. They could even be experiencing the light-headedness associated with low blood sugar.
# Fasting while taking certain medications can be dangerous, and it’s certainly not advisable to go off prescribed medications without first talking to your physician.
Some helpful tips for anyone who is considering doing some extreme bodily spring cleaning:
# Dump junk food and fast food.
# Eat vegetables (any kind) at least two times a day.
# Have one or two fresh whole fruits every day.
# Choose only lean and low fat sources of protein, such as fish and chicken. Go organic if you can find it and can afford it.
# Try to buy organic produce from local farmers, if available.
# Drink plenty of fluids, including water and teas.
# Include unsalted nuts several times a week.
# Add more fiber to your diet by adding beans (kidney, chick pea, white beans, split peas etc.) to salads, soups and pasta dishes.
# Choose whole wheat, oats and whole grains nine times out of 10. Examples: whole wheat bread, whole grain pasta, oatmeal and multigrain cereals.
# Add walnuts, avocado, tofu, edamame (green soybeans) and canola oil to your meals several times a week.
# Limit alcohol intake.
