Thanks for the interview. I did some improv work with female inmates in WA…eye-opening & inspiring.
Marie Mason is serving 21 years and 10 months for her involvement with Earth First. She’s
not allowed vegan food. That’s gotta be tough. I understand her family buys her vegan food
when they can.

Love the title of your upcoming book, all the best with it.

We wish him all the luck but hundreds of us are tired of his spam from three diff fb accounts and we aren’t friends w him. Dr mercola and I and countless others who have posted beg for no more spam and last week they wrote us asking to borrow a car for three weeks. This is outrageous.

» Erin said: { Apr 20, 2011 – 03:04:52 }

Dr mercola and I and hundreds of others have complained about him spamming us. He admits he has three Facebook accounts with ten thousand names he’s spamming even asking to borrow one of our cars for three weeks. We have all begged for him to stop yet all they do is say they can’t erase all ten thousand names they spam. You should be aware of this… Erin elizabeth.

Erin, No one sends out more emails than Dr. Mercola. I’ve tried to take my name off his list, to no avail.

Great story. BeLive rocks!

If you are in a not good position and have got no cash to go out from that, you would require to take the loan. Because that will aid you for sure. I take car loan every year and feel myself fine because of this.

» erin said: { Apr 21, 2011 – 11:04:12 }

Meg,

The only difference is that you sign up to be on the Mercola mailing list. I didn’t sign up for Chef Blive’s. Ever. I got yet another spam mail him explaining someone else must have added us all if we didn’t sign up… I don’t buy it. :-/

Power Juice Feast- Day 23 | Raw Vegan Radio

Power Juice Feast- Day 23

Power Juice Feast- Day 23

by Steve Prussack
Host of Raw Vegan Radio

Today is my last on the Power Juice Feast!  I just have one more set of HealthForce Nutritional Healing Herbs to take, and when I wake up tomorrow, I’ll be ending this journey.  I look forward to sharing with you the changes, and there have been a lot.  Additionally, I will post my before/ after picture tomorrow so you can see how dramatic my transformation has been in just 23 days.  I am feeling complete with the idea of ending the cleanse.  This was a great detox, and I got a lot out of my body (including a whole waist size and 12 pounds of fat!).  I will blog the next few days to keep you posted on my transition to a 100% raw vegan diet.

Here were my:

Juices of the Day

1.  Apple/ Purple Kale/ Cilantro/ Aloe Vera
2.  Pineapple/ Ginger/ Red Grape
3.  Celery/ Cucumber/ Cilantro/ Spinach/ Aloe Vera

I drank 3 quarts of Juice today.  I followed the protocol for HealthForce’s Healing Cleanse Level 3 (advanced cleanse).

Weight Loss

I lost 12 pounds in 23 days.  My weight today was 170, and starting weight was 182.  It makes a big difference.  I lost a whole pant size!  I need new clothes now, but that is not the worst reason to need a new wardrobe, right?

Final Day

I will break the cleanse tomorrow morning with mangoes!  I am excited, because I found some organic mangoes at the Santa Monica Co-op, and they are ripe and ready to go!  I had the idea to break with mangoes a while back, but wasn’t sure I would find any this time of year.  My fiance has sample them, and they are juicy and delicious.  I wouldn’t want to break this cleanse with any other fruit.  Mangoes have been my favorite fruit since I first ate one about 10 years ago.

I am planning to make a video of breaking the fast,  but I’m not sure.  It depends if I could wait for Julie to get home to film me.  If not, I’ll just break on my own and let you know how it goes.  I plan on having just juice for lunch, and a raw organic salad for dinner.  This seems like the perfect end to a transforming cleanse.

I loved Juice Feasting.  I was never hungry, yet cleansed significantly on some days.  I feel I benefited the most when I added HealthForce’s Healing Cleanse.  I started the cleanse on HealthForce Level 2, but decided to increase to their top level of 3 (Hardcore Cleanse).  This included ZeoForce for heavy metal detoxing and a Parasite formula.  I didn’t feel my detox symptoms increase when I included the Hardcore Cleanse. This has generally been a slow but steady progress.  What a great experience!

You can look forward tomorrow for my closing thoughts, things that were great, things that didn’t work, and my plans for my next cleanse in 2012.

I was happy to share with you and glad so many people found inspiration to begin doing this for themselves as well.  Your body/ mind/ spirit will definitely thank you.

For those who are going raw with me, I will share more about that journey and hopefully inspire you with some recipe ideas and videos of me preparing some of my favorites!  Sound good?

Episode 0138: A Message from Dolphins with Aros Crystos

Episode 0138: A Message from Dolphins with Aros Crystos

Eco-award winning fashion designer Aros Crystos has many titles to introduce him, as he says he has lived many past lives. Three-time author (novels include Embracing Aloha, Time is Promised to No One, Adventures in Consciousness), galactic shaman, ‘Dolphin Man,’ surfboard designer, the list goes on and on of his accomplishments.

But after you meet this man and discover that Aros has spent many years interacting with wild dolphins in Hawaii and has personally educated thousands of people on the sacred nature of the dolphins and whales and their purpose for interaction with human beings you start to think this man is half-man, half-dolphin of the sea. And now Aros Crystos will use his experience and connection to his real true passion— advocating for dolphins and the world’s oceans. Find out more about Aros in this incredible VegWorld interview.

In 2012 during LA Fashion Week, he made his fashion about the oceans and promoted ocean advocacy on the runway alongside his eco-friendly designs. Now his fashion collection is launching a T-shirt with stunning ocean designs alongside his surfboard art line to help raise funds for global ocean awareness andAros and Models by Maurice Rinaldi 3.15.12environmental educational programs.

Ocean Awareness T-Shirt Link

“Money has never been my goal or pursuit, but the pure passion and love for the oceans and its inhabitants, especially the dolphins and whales,” said the renowned author, artist and dolphin encounter leader. His magnificent ocean themes and artwork has wowed audiences with their beauty and joyous message. His clothing and jeans on the fashion catwalk and on fashion television will now be incorporated into a campaign to help the inhabitants of the oceans get a second chance. “We have forgotten that the ocean is our true friend and guardian,” said the award winning eco-conscious designer.

Aros is also affectionately known from Hawaii to Laguna Beach, as ‘The Dolphin Man’ and dolphin ambassador for his work and devotion to bringing dolphin energy to the sick and those needing a life-changing encounter with the dolphins to reignite their joy through a direct encounter with dolphins. He has received press attention for his work in newspapers and magazines and through appearances on talk shows around the country. But we think he has rightfully earned now to be called a “Waterman.” He has paid his dues and secured his rite of passage into the elite circle of men who made their life in the water, from Hawaiian Olympian Duke Kahanamoku to Big Wave rider Laird Hamilton and Jacques Cousteau, all men who are legends and who loved the water enough to make it their first home.

“When you are in the water with 500 dolphins, you transcend time and space.” Aros Crystos-Fashion Designers, Award Winning Eco Conscious Designer and Waterman

There is lots of surf and ocean trivia in Aros’s life. He portrayed a photographer on screen in the epic surf movie “Blue Crush” in the famous contest scene when Kate Bosworth and real surf legend Lisa Anderson went out to catch some waves on the North Shore of Hawaii on camera. Aros really embraces what all surfers embrace, a “true love and passion for the water.” He went on to win two Fashion Week Los Angeles awards, one as the top eco-conscious designer recognizing his work a fashion designer dedicated to ocean awareness and introducing the cause for One World One Ocean onto the runway there before celebrities and the press (http://www.oneworldoneocean.com/blog/entry/coral-couture).

Aros is doing something with his life and found his purpose in dolphin energy and ocean love. OWOO is a multi-platform campaign using the power of film, television and new media to inspire, educate and connect millions of people worldwide in a common purpose: protect and restore the health of the ocean. Aros got involved when he was recruited to be voiceover talent on the IMAX movie “Into the Arctic” and felt reconnected immediately to the mission to save and protect our ocean and its inhabitants. Now he wants to take his Ocean Awareness Campaign to another level supporting ocean advocates.

Favorite Surf Movie: In God’s Hands “I loved the authentic portrayal of the scenes in the movie and that I could hear the awesome sound of the waves that created that very sacred Zen-like place you find in the surf zone,” said Aros.

Favorite Surf Board: Aros’s own art collection shaped by pro surfer/board shaper Cordell Miller of course!

Recently Aros teamed up with the media team over at BYOB- Bring Your Own Board TV (http://www.byoboc.com) to launch a campaign to help raise funds for global ocean awareness. Support will go to global ocean campaigns that help to educate children and adults to become responsible guardians of the oceans, and spread the plight of the oceans from Fukushima to the Gulf of Mexico that threatens our very existence on planet earth.

Aros Crystos Ocean Awareness Campaign is launching an ocean-themed clothing line starting out with T- shirts with Aros’s super cool ocean themes. Partial proceeds, $1 of every $5 of clothing sold, will go to a well-known ocean foundation and will be sold online and in retail outlets and at live events.
