John Please Dont eat Egg Plant. They are basically one of the only vegetables that are poisonous to humans. It's well understood in the ancient Indian Aruyvedic Medical System that Egg plant is absolutely poisonous and causes brain damage. It's been proven to contain a compound that causes brain damage over time, please stop consuming it immediately
@UCGoxOFZ13sw-nNA9f_WiB2g My personal opinion, based on science that eggplant can help protect your brain. see
linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0300483X0000202X
Findings of animal studies suggest that nasunin, an anthocyanin in eggplant skin, may help protect brain cell membranes from damage caused by free radicals. Nasunin also helps transport nutrients into cells and move waste out. Anthocyanins also help prevent neuroinflammation and facilitate blood flow to the brain. This could help prevent memory loss and other aspects of age-related mental decline. Lab experiments have indicated that nasunin may reduce the breakdown of fats in the brain, a process that can cause cell damage.
@@okraw Where can I get that necklace?
The beginning of the end of your raw-vegan diet. From here your health will only get worse, your brain will slowly shut down. You will try to add even more different supplements, add even more cooked vegan food. If you are in complete denial you will argue that your declining health has to do something with spiritual stuff. If you are lucky you will start eating meat again. Many ex-raw vegans actually eat raw meat, fat, liver and brain. See rawpaleodiet website. But I agree, animal products should be consumed raw. Also see Sv3rige videos and videos about herbivores and some plants eating animals. Hope you will get well and welcome to the tribe.

Paula Black had cancer and her Dr. gave her 6 months to live. She changed her diet to mostly fruits and vegetables, and juicing was a major component (sometimes she'd lightly steam her vegetables/oatmeal for breakfast). Plenty of water, quit her stressful job. After 15 months, she was totally cancer free, and she never opted for chemo/radiation. Her book is "Life, Cancer, and God".
Only works if you do an extreme dichotomous switch of the diet. 12 years later she had 3 strokes. So much for vegan diet being healthy. The vegan diet is a non-nutritional, starvation fast. This is why it worked for her Cancer, but if you stick with it, it can cause heart disease.
@@camwhitman5425 Do you have any science to back up what you’re saying? The science seems to be pretty clear that animal-based foods present far more of a risk factor for heart disease. A “well planned” Vegan diet has also been deemed as “appropriate for all stages of Life” by the American Dietetic Association. So what are you talking about here?
"and god"... no, thanks.
@@camwhitman5425 You're a liar and spreading misinformation. I've been vegan for almost a decade and Paula Black is still alive, well and has never had a single stroke. Only replying to you once to let you know how ignorant you are and shouldn't be trolling people on the internet.
This is great ☺️ We don’t have to be 100% anything… a little flexibility and doing the best we can really goes a long way 🙌🏾
I love how you say you "supplement" your raw diet with some cooked foods. I have the same philosophy. I tried to stay fully raw without beans for the longest time, but there was just too much research showing me how important beans are for nutrition. I don't like sprouted beans, so cooked beans it is. The idea of giving into the dogma of being fully raw is a type of disordered thinking, in my opinion. I still consider myself to be a raw vegan too, because like you, about 90% of my diet is raw. 100% health is a great way to describe it.
This!
Well all of it is basically restrictive and disordered eating. Keto, carnivore, vegan, high carb, low carb, blabla
75% or > of uncooked / processed vegan food is still considered raw !
@@Bankai90 I'm 56 years vegan and I eat a far more varied diet than you I would bet anything! Being a chef I have made foods from all around the world. I love to try new things I know a lot about nutrition because I put myself through school just for nutrition along with my doctorates in regular medicine which teaches nothing about nutrition. Oddly enough not learning about it taught me a lot about it LOL if you think about it, regular doctors are pharmaceutical Distributors and that was very disturbing to me especially when they started offering the contracts out. I learned so much more about eating and eating well. Though I had been vacant since birth because of protein issues. Okay a plant-based baby but by 3 I knew what a dead cow was and I made sure that anybody eating one was knowing that their steak was an animal before it was on their plate and that it didn't want to die. That was not my parents idea I have no idea where it came from at all because back then I was the only one not eating animals or their secretions. But it certainly not restrictive in fact like I said I probably eat a bigger variety just because I can. People who eat dead animals get stuck in their little I have a dead chicken some vegetables and some starts on my plate
@@gomezaddams6470 Well def not than me xd, but compared to the average american highly likely yes. That's why vegan diets can be healthy compared to eating processed trash. Obviously your foodvariety can be quite broad. I've done a vegan diet and even Esselstyns diet for awhile. I'm not against veganism so long someone understands micromanagement of nutrients. Any restrictive diet, vegan or carnivore, shouldn't be done by the average person for more than 10-15years who hasn't knowledge about what he's doing. There's a reason you will find like 30 videos about vegan deteoriation with tons of people in it, because it's not that easy as "restrict meat". A lot of those people look worse than life long crack addicts yet seem to eat whole foods. Yet people who live of pizza and crackers and get hammered 3x a week seem to do better. You won't find that with carnivore/keto people (I'M NOT SAYING IT'S HEALTHIER), since animalproducts literally have too many easy absorbable nutrients and will protect the brain and tissues.
The issue I have is with people like you, you say dead chicken or animal excretions as if it would be something bad. if I'd see myself lost in nature those would be my main goal to attain. I've also an issue with the severe misspresentation of vegan health by Greger or Barnard. Obviously eating the SAD diet is even worse, but it's mainly an issue created by sugar, vegetable oils, emulsifiers and trans fats.
If you don't want to eat animals as to protect/ not harm them, that's one thing. Focusing on optimal health is a different story. Trying to do both is appreciated. Most meat eaters know very well what they eat was alive, and most meat eaters would also likely opt for a better environment of those animals during their lifetime.
I follow Medical Medium's guidelines and I'm 80% raw. I feel better than when I was 100% raw. Also mentally for me it helped with the sense of balance.
Ya, all raw, I looked like crap, was too skinny, and didn't feel good. About half and half is a very good combo for me!
Yay Lune!!💖 Me too!!👍
Took you long enough to realise change is the only constant not Vegan o.O
@@PrisonPlanett I don't understand what you're trying to say.
@@blue_sky_bright_sun7599 that most vegans are nuts.
I love that you are honest and open to changing your perspective when you feel it's right for you. Respect to you.
So this is the disturbance in the force that I felt. You made so many vegans happy, and so many angry. In the end what matters is that you do what's best for you. The only thing I can say is keep up the good work and stay healthy.
Doing what's better for him (or any human being for that matter) would be eating saturated animal fat.
@@francissagneus415 yeah if you raise it yourself
@@francissagneus415 but also many breakthroughs happen in ones life when they eliminate the animal products all together
@@francissagneus415 doing whats best for him is to do whats worse for other beings by killing them for pleasure, as are the only party to not deserve it. How does that sound, psychopathic eh?
@@francissagneus415 Maybe eating meat doesn't help him. Everyone has a different body.
Whenever I go back to eating cooked food, it's a slippery slope for me, and pretty soon I'm adding salt, then fat, because cooked food doesn't taste good without seasonings...and then grains & beans and then fake meats and cheeze...yeah, I just can't do it. I feel BEST when I eat fruit. Best of luck to you John.
Exactly so true! My exact experience! I can however do sweet potatoes because I like them without salt! :)
Beans are healthy tho wtf
You don't have to overly explain yourself to folks John; it's your life and your health. You are an inspiration to many, including myself; Thanks.
Impressive that you did it for 26 years. Best of luck man.
I'm no longer raw either. It's nice to see you not attached to a label. Congrats to you
Not attached to a label but attached to heat process "food"
@@davidferron9457 I never thought I would live to see the day when someone who heats their food is something negative. Wow!!
@@armywife2248 it is known as the fall of mankind. The reason why our species is dysfunctional and suffer so much.
@@davidferron9457 You are familiar with John Rose?
John, I love how you continually change, grow and learn. 😊
I am SOOOOO glad to see you doing this! It is confirmation for me. I have kept tabs with you since 2005 and you are one of the few I that I listen to. It's all about getting the best out of the plants we eat. We cannot eat all plants the way they are when we harvest them, and get the most nutrients out of them. Soaking, sprouting, lactofermenting, drying, freezing, infusing, ripening, heating, and cooling (like potatoes gain resistant starch when heated then cooled) each plant food is unique and we have to understand them individually. Kind of like humans. We are each unique and have different qualities that sometimes need to have certain processes externally put on us to bring out the best in us. I have TRULY enjoyed all the information you have thoughtfully shared over the years. A big THANKYOU from me. You have inspired and kept me motivated numerous times.
I LOVE that you aren't following trends or sticking to a specific diet for dogma or because of personal belief. I really appreciate that you go by what the science says. You're not emotional about what your food, you use food as a tool for your health and I feel like so many have lost that concept.
Paul stamets said that mushrooms should be boiled at a least 60 seconds because of the pathogens on the surface. Some mushrooms can make you sick unless cooked first, like shitake. I once had a big portion of raw shitake at Au Lac restaurant made by the raw vegan chef and I got nauseous all night.
this is very true and a lot of people do not know this. Mushrooms are very critical to optimal health. Also mushrooms do not have a lot of calories, so you can gourge on them.
really interesting! I'd love to hear more about how you're preparing the foods in the instant pot: temp, setting etc. and what dishes you like to eat them with.
I love your videos! It's always so interesting to learn from you and decide for myself what resonates with me.
THANKS ALOT! to being totaly transparent and real! We love you brother!
Thanks so much for being vulnerable and sharing. Look forward to hearing updates. Sending blessings and love from El Salvador
What a coincidence! I was having these thoughts a few days ago and released a video on the same topic: when we don’t live in the paradise tropics, high-raw is the best option!
So true🌲🌲🌲🌲🧚🙋
Thank you for sharing your journey. I’m starting down this path now myself and have no idea what I’m doing but videos like this are helping me figure it out little by little step by step
I can't tell you how much I agree with this and really helps to hear you talk about it as these are the conclusions I'd come to on my own.
I wish I could eat some cooked food again but after 18 years of being raw I get sick whenever I eat cooked food.
Search Durianrider cooked food.
That's because your system is so wonderfully purified anything less than pure your body will be insulted
Hi auderey , you feel sick eating cooked food. I wonder what kind of cooked foods? Even just a simple steamed vegetables? Steamed sweet potatoes? Or what kind? I’m fully raw almost 2 years and also scared to eat cooked foods again because many raw foodist said they feel sick after going back to eating cooked foods.
@@lillyairOfficial yes, even simple, healthy foods like steamed veggies or steamed sweet potatoes gives me a lot of mucus and throat irritation and muscle pain.
Good vid John ‼️👍🏻💯✅
I really enjoy your perspectives on foods and kudos to you for having the courage to not just to speak your mind but to change your priorities as you learn more!
Vegan since ‘85 tried fully raw for six months in the early days, but found that some vegies just are better heat processed.
In any one meal we try to have more than 50% of fresh and unprocessed.
This is great. Been vegan 27 years 2005-2008 100%raw organic vegan incredible healing journey. A plus on my blood tests ..my body doesnt like tofu soy fake meats highly processed foods... I grow some of my plant food practicing permaculture use soil w/o livestock poop & feathers here in the rainforest. So glad i found your channel!! LOVE IT!!!! gotta share!!!!!
Hi John. Eggplants, squash, and mushrooms were why I couldn’t go 100% raw foods. I have been following you for years on UA-cam and I appreciate your transparency and how you communicate your study of food research. Thanks.
Please dont eat egg plant anymore Catherine. They are proven to contain a compound that causes brain damage over time, it's one of the few vegetables poisonous to humans
@colleenallmyfriends yes, a cooked preparation preference for mushrooms,butternut squash, crookneck squash, and zucchini. Raw eggplant texture is too spongy to be palatable to me.
Raw squash with apples is good
I feel amazing on raw when I'm getting adequate amounts of fruit calories. If I dont get at least 2000 cals a day from fruit alone I always end up wantting cooked food. Papaya and mango I have found to be crucial also. I find in the northern hemisphere I end up eating a meal of bananas, a meal of dates in a smoothie, and a meal of oranges beofre my big salad and have to have a little flax often to help keep my omega 3 and 6 ratios 1:1. Papaya has equal omega 3/6 ratio and is really high in vitamin c. Dates lack c and fat. I think trying to be all raw in northern hemisphere when we cant have access to affordable or high quality papaya and mango makes it difficult.
I'm also trying to be "raw fruit till 4." I feel great and have lots of energy. My jackfruit just ripened. Lots of fiber.
There was a youtube channel called "Sweet Natural Living" , he basically practices the same diet of mainly tropical calorie dense fruits along with seasonal temperate climate fruits supplemented with cooked potatoes,sweet potatoes, vegetables etc
Hi, I hope u dont mind me sharing, a long time ago I started on a raw only diet, lots of freshly juiced veggie and fruits, salad and the work.
I felt amazing with lots of energy, so incredible....
After more than a year I started having craving for cooked food and started binging 😥😥😥
And started to binge and throw up after eating cos I was stuffed. I didnt know I was becoming bullimic at that time.
To cut the story short, I recovered from bullimia after many year but still remain a vegetarian but an unhealthy one.
Yes, we need cooked food in our diet, it helps us get satiated.
Simple starches like rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes etc. It helps to make your body feel happy and contended.
One big eating lifestyle is the SOS way. Salt, oil, sugar free.
Pls google SOS, Dr Alan Gold hammer and listen to his talks.
His proposed eating lifestyle makes one more stable and functional on the long haul
@@StarcraftSwarm he no longer lives in tropics and now he eats like oatmeal and other dense cooked foods.
I spent a month in Ecuador in 2016, spending most of the time in Loja and Vilcabamba. Papayas and Mangoes were huge, and only .50 each. I gorged accordingly, and couldn't believe how satisfied I was for hours, no desire for any other fruit, vegetable, or anything else. I've never forgotten that.
So much respect for you always.
Love you more for sharing your raw-food journey in all honesty and transparency. My family has benefited immensely from "raw-plant-based-wholefood" since 2005, some years pure raw and some high raw. Our focus is also pro-health and minimum compact lifestyle, and keep an open-minded.
Thanks John. You’re so genuine. I appreciate you being honest and just sharing your Whole Foods journey with us. 😄✨
Blessings and thanks for sharing ur knowledge 🙏🏿
Hi John, love your channel! Very cool perspective on he treated foods to supplement your raw diet. Very open minded of you!
I know you mention you love salads often, and I was wondering if you could share some salad dressing recipes you enjoy?
Oh! Thanks for sharing the info on leukocytosis! Very interesting. I haven't found a cooked food that doesn't increase my inflammation levels or disrupt my digestion, but I understand that's due to my own bodily weaknesses.
D do d
So much good information, thank you so much.
LOVE THIS.... Awesome you put this out there!
wow your explanation was so helpfullll... this feels like such a big deal lol... thank you for this video and being true to yourself!
Respect, at what temperature do you cook, and do you change the temperature depending on the type of food? Thank you
Thank you for this information ❤❤
This is very encouraging to me. Because I eat probably 80% raw but do you need potatoes a few times a week and beans now and then and it just feels right. I should try more variety like you said. One thing that kind of bothers me is how a lot of experienced raw food people criticize bananas. I’m going to stand up for the banana! Especially since it’s so hard to get ripe fruit. Bananas are very nutritious, easy to digest and inexpensive and all of that is so important to get people on the right track. So when you get into this way of eating and you still love a lot of bananas I don’t think that’s bad. As you said yourself it’s not good or bad it’s just what’s better than something else. I hope that made sense. Thank you for all you do. I’m considering that vacuum packed blender thing
This is so informative, John! Thank you. If you didn't have a pressure cooker, how would you cook your mushrooms. I've been placing them in the sun for several hours or in my dehydrator (that's 'cause I thought it was okay to eat them raw --yikes! Now I know better). Should I steam them? Cook them in water?
I would steam them.
John you’re an inspiration thank you for sharing these things with us
Thanks for this video, I have a strong tendency for all or nothing kind of mentality, but then deep down I know it’s not good to be that way in many aspects of life. And when it comes to nutrition is very easy for me to fall off the wagon of healthy eating if I can’t be 100% perfectly raw. So this kind of videos are important to me to get my mind back to thinking more rationally about food and not be dogmatic. My goal as yours is improved health not a label... And I also agree with you on seeing the cooked plant foods as condiment o supplement, that way we’ll keep focusing on the raw plant foods.
Thank you John, your committed to using all the information that’s out there, your own experience, and logic. I feel that there’s no law that says raw is best in all circumstances, tho when I am able to eat a mostly raw food I do feel different.
Best wishes and thank you so much John.
On the insta pot, when do u use Manuel setting vs steam setting? Ty. Enjoyed this video. Also, my gut biome test tells me to eat whole grains! I’ll use the insta pot for these and purple potatoes!
Thank you john!!! So cool that you're helping us out!!
Is your dog vegan, or do you sometimes include raw juice food mixed with commercial brought dog food?
Love his honesty and energy.
Love your authenticity and information. You are my favorite raw foods resource.
Great tips, thank you Jonh 😊
Cool! Cara from The Healthy Life also eats cooked eggplant from time to time.
She even has a cooking video recipe on it. I like to listen to those that take the middle path and aren't too fanatical about it all.
Thanks for all great work John. Peace.
I love the Healthy Life! And Cara.
Wussup John?! Much love and appreciation for the knowledge and information you provide for the planet. I hope you have a great day, and an even better tomorrow💯☝️♥️
John do you do any seasonal fermentation for your staples?
Thank you so much for this!!!!
Love this! Thank you for sharing your journey and wisdom. Good info about how to really have a high nutrient diet being a raw vegan. No dogmas and strive for radiant health.
Love this! Digging the shirt too...so is pressure cooking healthier than steaming??
The shirt is from chris kendall Utube the raw advantage O baby do you like it raw ? 👍🏻
A lot of people also don’t speak about the health of our mothers when they carried us and what we were fed in the early years of our lives which play a huge role in our health as we continue to get older
Your health from the time you were conceived until 18 plays a huge role and cultivates your relationship with food when you leave
There should be extensive nutrition classes for those who want children / are already pregnant that extend beyond the typical doctor because nutrition isn’t the focus in medical school in the western world and you can obviously tell based on the condition of the general publics health
Hello John,
I'm listening to you since a year, i heard you talking about a fridge on 12 volts, can't find the video ...can you tell me what's the best fridge I can plug in my van on your opinion.
Thank you, Christine
Thanks for your balanced approach and for dispelling myths.
I love steaming kale and broccoli in my instant pot. I have one of those (yuk) collapsible steamers. Can I ask you to share where you got your steamer insert? Thank you
Do all those Instant Pots come with that small colander inside? I want to buy one because I really don’t like steaming with that foldable colander, it’s hard to clean and cumbersome. Thanks for your videos, have been following you since the beginning.l!!
I've been following you Jon for a long time, since seeing a video with you and Markus Rothkranz about all the wild plants you grown in the own garden at home. I am a long term customer of Markus products, his green formula is amazing. Yeah you have to do what is best for your own health Jon. I used to be 90% raw few years ago, then started eating more cooked foods over the years. What works for someone does not always work for everyone else too.
John = inspiration
Hi John regarding eating mushrooms full stop, in this case heat processed as you mentioned, is it ok for me to eat them with candida issues? Thanks
Looking healthy John! Thank you for sharing sir!
More power to you John. How is the weather where you are? Are you getting a heat wave or drought conditions where you are?
I've been watching you for years and simply agree with just about everything you say. So glad you're open to eating some heated foods because after all the research I've done, 100% raw is great but getting cooked vegetables, beans etc. in your diet is better in my opinion.
So nice to see this video I think all raw foodies should see it! Also love Dr Joel Fuhrman, have his books watch his videos and agree with about 95% of what he has to say as well.
Agreed, btw do you mean Dr. Joel Fuhrman?
Do you vent or seal the instant pot when heat processing? If it makes a difference, I'm using sweet potatoes.
I'm so happy to have found this channel
I love your garden
Do you do natural release when heating veggies in instant pot?
Thanks, you really help me get out of the 100% raw dogmatic thought process. It's really helping me improve :)
I was taught leukocytosis also. Thanks for sharing 👍
Do you ferment any of your veg or fruits? I like to eat some fermented, not all of course but have a bit of lacto good bacteria in my gut once a day if only a little.
Nice to hear that you're doing this! I'm also a big fan of Dr. Joel Fuhrman btw, Gotta get those GBOMBS! I eat Nutritarian/WFPB, and as a future doc myself and huge nerd for nutritional biochemistry/Nutrigenomics/epigenetics, etc., I appreciate you talking about some of the science behind the phytonutrients/antioxidants, etc. (Anthocyanins are def one of my favorites!). One recommendation though, is after stating a fact that the science shows, stating "in my opinion" kind of weakens your credibility, esp for new viewers who don't already know that you know your stuff. As an avid researcher like you who tries to spread this information to as many as possible, I say things like "The research shows" rather than "In my opinion". It definitely helps for credibility and such! Anyway, just wanted to say that, hope you don't take it the wrong way!
Btw, if you're interested in doing an interview/conversation one of these days over zoom/google meet, etc., that would be really cool! We could talk about our stories, nerd out over nutritional science, talk about testimonies of people we've helped with this info, etc. I also think it'll help your viewers be more optimistic about the future of medicine/healthcare knowing that there are future Integrative/holistic/functional/lifestyle medicine docs like myself who know about the power of Nutrition/holistic/lifestyle optimizations for true healing! (I'm definitely grateful for the all star docs like Fuhrman of course!) Anyway, let me know when you get a chance! My email is bryante7751@gmail.com ! Take care and God bless!
Awesome video!!😘👍
Im like you, cooking some food, that can not be eaten without!.
I love beans, and legumes, so I sometimes make a soup with cooked beans in it.
I will now, because of you, try to find those purple sweet potatoes!😘👍
Maybe even a pressure cooker!😂😍👍
Thanks for an awesome video John, have been following you for a long time, I remember you told about your spinal menigitis, that you healed from, because of you changing your diet to plant based.
Hugs from🇩🇰
Say John when you do take vitamin D do you take a vitamin K along with the vitamin D? If so what vitamin D and K to you suggest to take?
I love this, thank you for sharing! I eat the same, 80% raw or more or 100% some days. You’re thriving and vibrant and that’s what is important!
Excellent choices for cooked!
Great video thanks 😃
thank you 🙏🏻
I'm vegan (I eat both cooked and raw) and had a borderline low WBC (3.6). My doctor made me get a retake, which I reluctantly did months later. Leading up to it, I ate processed vegan foods, and my WBC raised to 6.1!😳 I don't think it's a coincidence that eating inflammatory foods like vegan chips, cookies, ice cream, etc, raised my WBC.. but when I ate "clean", it drops. But because blood work parameters are for the average person (non-vegan), doctors think you have a problem. The rest of my blood work was fine, and I tried to explain that it's common for vegans to have a lower WBC (particularly if they focus on whole foods), but he didn't listen.🙄❤️
Thank you for sharing this important informations.
Hello how are you doing.?
Way to go dude! All about digestion and nutrition accessing. Which feeds the cells. Much ❤️ love.
I love this John! I feel 100% in agreement with you
Thank you
Where are you from where you grow all that fruit? Especially jack fruits...
You have such a beautiful soul. I see your videos from time to time and it just warms my heart. Even though I do LCHF/keto which is the complete opposite of what you do. I love your passion for what you believe in.
That's the same company I get my mung beans from, (24 mantra organic), they're awesome. Was never really a rice fan either, but kitchari with ancient black, or jade pearl rice, has become a staple in my diet.
Much love, thanks for the info 🤗
Oooo would you share your recipe?
Wish ya would include more herbs. Great flavor. Great nutrition.
The book link does not work. Is it available somewhere else?
I have eat cooked vegs 10 years. And one meal one day 4 years. I have tried to only eat raw fruits and vegs for 3 days. I found my body became very light. Very joyful feeling. So I am trying to turn to the raw vegs. But I don't like eat cold foods for stomach health. So I will go to buy a dehydrator to warm up vegs and fruit 20 mins to get around 110F that is the temperature little bit higher than my body inside to make my stomach not feel cold. 110 F is safe cook temperature for raw foods.
Does somebody know some air fryer or air oven that lowest temperature can reach 100 F? TKS!
Did not see that coming.....
ps the link to the eggplants is not working.
Could you post the some of the studies you are referencing?
Wonder if John considers eating natto or taking a vitamin k2 supplement?
Hi John, I have been watching you for awhile and I think that cook food is doing good for you. Just my opinion! You’ve been looking great lately!
This was interesting. I just started following you after watching a video you did with Dr. Fuhrman, whose books I've had for many years. In this video you briefly mention your dog. I'm wondering if you have recorded a video about how you feed your dog, or if you will in the future. I would love to hear your opinion on this, since I have 4 myself.
Hello how are you
