Is carrot juice a danger to the health of all? (Not actually carrot juice… couldn’t find a picture, so this orange smoothie will have to do.)

Sorry for the delay on this one…

We lost power in Berkeley and so as I’m writing this I’m doing it by candlelight and it is now up on Wednesday, not Tuesday! :-)

Anyway, today, I have a recap of Night 2 from the Healing Cancer World Summit with Dr. Francisco Contreras and Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy.

In this recap, I’ll share some of the things about diet for cancer patients (and prevention) that were similar and conflicting from the previous calls and hopefully sort some of this out for you.

Let’s get started…

Vegans Can Have a Protein Deficiency: Exclusive Renegade Health Article http://renegadehealth.com/blog/2011/06/14/vegans-can-have-a-protein-deficiency/ http://renegadehealth.com/blog/2011/06/14/vegans-can-have-a-protein-deficiency/#comments Tue, 14 Jun 2011 14:22:03 +0000 Kevin Gianni http://renegadehealth.com/blog/?p=5720 kevin gianni lecture
Be wary of what experts tell you at lectures… yep, even this guy. (How could you trust a “long hair” like that?!?!)

A lot of you wanted me to expand on a phrase that I wrote a few days ago on the blog…

Here’s what I wrote in case you missed it:

“There are many myths and untruths in the raw food world. I’ve seen them first hand as Annmarie and I traveled around the country for 2 years. What you see on the Internet is very different than what you see in person.”

There’s, of course, a lot to expand on, since there isn’t just one occasion when I was surprised or taken back by information or experiences Annmarie and I had during our travels around the U.S.

Today, since many of you asked, I’m going to give a recent example of where the “actual” didn’t match the “theory” that you may find pretty interesting.

He explained in detail how pollen is taken from the hive, how colony collapse is effecting his bees, and more.

I’ve been experimenting with bee pollen and I find it to be energizing and beneficial. It’s a great source of B-complex vitamins. It also contains protein.

Take a look…

Your question of the day: Do you eat bee products? If you do, what ones, if not… why not?

Organic Food or Variety of Fresh Foods – The Renegade Health Show Episode #131 http://renegadehealth.com/blog/2008/09/02/which-do-you-choose-organic-food-or-variety-of-fresh-foods/ http://renegadehealth.com/blog/2008/09/02/which-do-you-choose-organic-food-or-variety-of-fresh-foods/#comments Tue, 02 Sep 2008 23:00:23 +0000 Kevin Gianni http://renegadehealth.com/blog/?p=230 This should bring some healthy discussion…

Which do you think is better? Eating all organic foods with no or little variety or eating a very wide variety of non-organics? Watch the show to see what I think and then post your comment below… I really want to hear your thoughts on this one!

I also explain a mistake in a recent email (thanks Grant, for pointing it out!) about protein and what other fruits contain plenty of protein, so you can steer clear of animal protein if you’re so inclined…

Go ahead and watch now…

Sometimes in comes in this form: “How do I gain weight on the raw food diet?”

Other times it’s: “Help, I’m losing weight too fast and I need help!”

Not that bad of an issue to have, but for some this means loosing muscle mass as well (I know, it happened to me).

Here’s my answer…

Your question of the day: What questions do you have about raw food, natural health, the vegan diet or how I think the Steelers did in the draft?

Tune into this video to get the verdict!

Plus I answer two more readers questions about how much phosphorus you should have in your diet and more protein discussion…

Your question of the day is: What questions do you have about health?

As you’ve seen, I’ll be fielding questions about once a week on the show, so get yours in early so I get to them sooner than later!

The eternal question. “Where do vegans, vegetarians and raw foodies get their protein?”

In this video I explain two great sources of plant protein… Quinoa and Hemp Seed.

Check it out…

I think the biggest issue is that many raw foodies don’t soak enough grain. Adding soaked and sprouted grains into your diet can be the key to lasting raw success whether it’s 50, 70 or 100%.
