These foods can be EFFORTLESSLY
absorbed into the small intestine, as they are already broken down into
very simple forms. It is also KEY to take these foods on an
EMPTY stomach AND!!! as your FIRST INTAKES of the day
(after drinking water). You wake up and your body is regenerated,
cleansed, refreshed, completely digested and this is when you have the
MOST vitality. At this time your body is truly hungry and is ready
to just SUCK-UP the nutrients you provide. When there is no other
food or obstruction within the digestive tract, absorption is at its best.
Once most people start to eat their first solid meal of the day, they
usually don’t end up with an empty stomach again until the next morning.
It is just food piled on top of food, all day long. In this context,
vitality goes down, obstruction is increased within the body, and
absorption is greatly affected. The body absorbs food the BEST as our
first food intake of the day and on an empty stomach.

I
personally eat only one or two meals a day, JUST SO that I can have
many sessions of consuming absorbable nutrients in-between. For example,
the first thing I consume in the morning after water, is a green vegetable
juice. About an hour later, I will consume a couple teaspoons of royal
jelly. As soon as I eat my first solid meal, I generally wait 4 – 6 hours
before I consume ANYTHING else again. I won’t even eat any of these
absorbable foods such as royal jelly or green vegetable juice, because I
know that if I put that on top of my previous meal, it will cause a
MASS of fermentation and that I will get very little actual benefit
from the foods. Taking absorbable nutrients as our FIRST food
intake of the day, on an empty stomach is KEY! I generally intake 2
- 4 different absorbable foods on an empty stomach before I eat my first
solid meal. Then after that first solid meal digests, I generally call it
quits for the day or I will only take in more absorbable nutrients again
(most of the time ). I feel it is even key to let each of these
forms of absorbable foods, such as royal jelly, COMPLETELY digest
before taking in another absorbable food, such as a green juice. If you
let these absorbable foods digest completely in the body you will
experience the least amount of fermentation and your body can make use of
this mono meal of absorbable nutrients in the best possible way.

Kevin Trudeau states in his book, “Natural
Cures”, that after cleansing your colon with a series of colonics, your
absorption rate increases by 100%. There is no doubt in my mind that this
can be true, due to both my own experiences and what I have seen with
others. I can sense that when I am inundated with toxicity and obstruction
in my body, these HIGHLY ABSORBABLE foods that I meantioned above,
don’t do NEARLY as good for me as when I feel CLEAN!!!
Especially for raw foodists, I feel that it is key that we cleanse our
colon on a periodic basis, to side-step toxicity and deficiency.

In conclusion, I feel that all people, not just Raw Foodists, can do
well to strategize a game plan for themselves to remain deficiency-free and
I hope that this article inspires you and gives you a few pointers on how
to accomplish this…

Blendtec Blender
Discount Offers, Including *NEW* ‘Blendtec Carafe Combo’ (up to $69 off!)

I am excited to announce that Blendtec
JUST came out with a *New* Blender Package deal where you can
get a Blendtec Blender with two different carafe’s at a discounted price.
Additionally, we are going to offer an extra discount on this already
discounted package. I have received NUMEROUS requests to offer the
Blendtec Blenders at a discount again, like we did last year. This is
probably going to be the LAST time we offer this kind of
INCREDIBLE appliance deal.

Here are the special
offers:

If you use the coupon
code ‘blendtec60′ in our store, you will get $60 off the Blendtec
w/the 3qt carafe OR $69 off the *NEW* Blendtec Blender two Carafes
combo. This coupon code is programmed only to work with these appliances.
Additionally, we programmed this ‘blendtec60′ coupon code to give you an
extra 14% off anything else you put in your cart alongside
your new Blendtec Blender. This very special offer is good until
February 28th.

Blendtec JUST CAME OUT with a
discounted package, in which you can get the standard 2qt carafe PLUS the
3qt carafe with the 4-inch blade!!! I feel that this is the IDEAL
discount package from them. I personally love having multiple carafes for
my HIGH-SPEED blender and when I can get two like this in a packaged
discounted deal, I am STOKED!!! Additionally, we are offering an
extra $69 discount on top of that package, for a LIMTED TIME!!! I
personally have one of each carafe. As you already know, I use the 3qt
carafe (4″ blade) most of the time. However, I also like to use the 2qt
carafe for things like grounding down flax seeds or nuts. I love having a
second carafe on hand, as sometimes I want to blend two different items for
one meal, or I am looking for a vessel to pour something into, so having
the second carafe makes my life much easier

For those of
you who are NEW to our newsletter, in the Raw Foods Community there
has long been a debate about which is the BEST High-Speed Blender to
get… the Vitamix or the Blendtec? They both have their advantages, such
as the Vitamix comes with a ‘tamper’/pusher and the Blendtec is digital and
has a higher horsepower, in most cases. Whichever one of these blenders
that you chose in the past was pretty much a good decision… UNTIL
NOW!!!

Blendtec recently came out with the larger carafe
(3qt/96oz which is larger than their 2qt/64oz) with a longer blade (4
inches rather than 3 inches), which will fit onto any Blendtec Blender
base. This discovery is HUGE!!!… and the benefits are
MANY!!!. The top three benefits of this new container in my opinion
are that it doesn’t oxidize the food nearly as much, it is the most
effective blender for rapidly blending food down to a liquid form, and it
is BPA FREE.

Whenever we blend down any harder to blend
foods in the Vitamix or the Blendtec with the 3 inch blade carafe,
the contents get a bit heated up in the blending process. However, when
using this new larger carafe, in almost ALL CASES the food remains
cold after blending. Additionally, we did two comparison tests between the
Vitamix, the Blendtec with the smaller carafe and the Blendtec with the
larger carafe. In the first comparison test we used apples and in the
second one we used vegetables. In BOTH instances, the contents of
the Blendtec with the larger carafe were less oxidized (the color of the
food contents didn’t turn brownish quickly, as with the other blenders).
You can see this color contrast in the video below.

The reason why the Blendtec with the larger
carafe oxidizes less is due to the longer 4 inch blade with the wider space
at the bottom of the carafe. The 4 inch blade breaks down the food SO
FAST and it requires less spinning revolutions to do this job, compared
to the other blender options. There is more space at the bottom of the
larger carafe for the food to sit, so it falls down into the blade area
easily, evenly and gets broken down rapidly, without getting heated up over
and over again as it spins, as can happen with the others. Additionally,
the new carafe has a patented 5-sided jar, which produces a better blending
vortex. It is AMAZING how fast the food contents break down into a
liquid consistency with this carafe - we LOVE it!

When
we make blended salads/energy soup with lots of leafy greens, normally we
have to use the “pusher” in the Vitamix to get it to blend well, or we have
to shake the Blendtec with the smaller carafe endlessly to get it going
properly… AND… the contents always end up a bit heated. This
new Blendtec with the larger carafe, breaks down these types of blended
salads almost effortlessly every single time and the food contents come out
COLD in almost every single instance. I have been surprised on many
occasions when blending food items that would normally have been heated up
in another high-speed blender, which come out cold to my tongue after
blending in this Blendtec with the large carafe and 4 inch blade.

The larger carafe of course also has the capacity to blend more food
contents all AT ONE TIME!… and due to the larger blade and
spaciousness at the bottom of the carafe, it never seems overloaded as can
happen with the other high-speed blenders. When you overload a Vitamix or
the Blendtec with the smaller carafe, you are pretty much guaranteed to end
up with food contents that are heated up and oxidized. This heating is
extremely rare with the Blendtec with the larger carafe.

In
my opinion NO HIGH-SPEED blender currently compares to the Blendtec
Blender with the larger carafe and 4 inch blade. The video comparison
below will hopefully make this obvious to you too. The lowest online
advertised price that anyone can currently sell this new Blendtec Blender
with both the larger and smaller carafes for is $489.95. However,
right now, if you use the coupon code we mentioned up above
‘blendtec60′ on our site, you will get $68.50 off the price of this
blender, which will make the price just $421.36.

carafes, you can do so by clicking HERE.

I LOVE how the larger carafe is so SPACIOUS!!!
It is so easy to get the food out of the bottom of it… especially
compared to the Vitamix. This wider bottom easily allows all the food to
fall down around the blade evenly. It’s quite amazing. This new model
IS the NEW highest standard for high-speed blenders in my
opinion… and I am SURE that you won’t regret it, if you decide to
purchase one. This SHOWS you how much I believe in the benefits of
this new blender.

To sum it all up… The Blendtec with
the larger carafe and longer blade blends the food contents faster and more
effectively, it has the capacity to hold more and blend more food (without
heating up ), the food oxidizes less and comes out cooler, and it is
easier to get the food out of the carafe due to all the spaciousness!

New Products at
The Raw Food World

Truly Raw Cashew Butters!!!
We
now carry two TRULY RAW Cashew Butters from Blue Mountain
Organics… The difference between these two cashew butters is…
one of them is made with truly raw cashews that have been soaked and
germinated before being turned into Cashew Butter. Both of these
TRULY RAW Cashew butters are made from the same TRULY RAW
Whole Cashews that we carry on our website. These cashews are not heated
and are the only ones on the market that we know of that are genuinely 100%
Raw. Each cashew is hand-cracked in Bali, avoiding all machinery that
generally heats the cashew above the preferred “Raw Temperature”, which has
the potential to destroy enzymes. In my opinion these will be the BEST
TASTING cashew butters that you will ever experience. As far as we
know, there are not even any other TRULY RAW cashew butters on the
market! Enjoy…

Fresh ‘Melt in your Mouth’ Soft Wet Dates
We
personally went to the Ojai, CA farmers’ market where these dates are sold
and we purchased a mass of them for our website. We got four different
varieties of these FRESH ‘Melt in your Mouth’ Soft WET Dates. I feel that
these are the BEST dates on the planet! Barhi Dates are the
sweetest and softest of all and are my personal favorite. They taste a lot
like carmel candy. They will just MELT in your mouth. The Barhi
dates are DEFINITELY a delicacy and are the ones in the picture to
the left.

Additionally, from the SAME organic
date farmer, we got these coconut date rolls that were made from the
SAME Barhi Dates! These are the BEST-TASTING coconut date
rolls that I have ever experienced!!! You also MUST TRY the other
dates we got from this same farmer including the AMAZING Honey Dates
and Medjool Dates… FYI… The Deglet Dates on our website are not from
this farmer and you will surely notice the difference!!!

I am VERY EXCITED to announce that
Daniel Vitalis recently brought out three mushroom blends for his
Surthrival Company. The three mushroom blends are Reishi, Chaga and a
Synergy Blend of 5 Mushrooms. Daniel takes these mushrooms himself and you
know that he would only source the BEST mushrooms for his company
and personal use. They are all hot water extraced and very potent.

Your Right To Be Beautiful Multi-Herbal Green Clay
Masque 2oz in a NICE glass container
Tonya Zavasta just came out
with a Green Clay Masque that doesn’t dry up like other masques. This is
what Tonya has to say about it… “The common opinion is that facial
masques shouldn’t be used more than once a week. I think of masques like
exercise – you won’t get the benefits if you only do it once in a while.
While developing this masque one of my objectives was a delayed drying up
time. Plus, by leaving the masque on your face only for 3-5 minutes you get
all the cleansing benefits without the drying effect that most clay masques
produce. It can be used as often as the skin permits, ideally every day. It
will leave the skin instantly brighter and clearer-looking.”

AAAAAAAAND… Many More New Products COMING
SOON!!!
