However, cutting out processed foods, animal products, and eating mostly raw foods caused his symptoms to vanish. Craig is now a naturopathic doctor, author, and raw food consultant.

What Is Turmeric Root?

Many people are familiar with turmeric in its powdered form. The yellow-orange Asian spice is used in curries to color and flavor foods and also as a nutritional supplement. It contains curcumin, an important anti-inflammatory
nutrient. Fresh turmeric root can be obtained at Indian markets. It closely resembles its cousin, ginger root, yet is bright orange inside.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COCONUT MEAT, COCONUT OIL, AND COCONUT WATER?
Coconut meat is the flesh from inside the rind of a regular coconut and coconut water is a natural isotonic beverage. It is best drunk from a fresh young coconut. Look for young coconuts or young Thai coconuts at your local health food store, in the produce section of large supermarkets, and Asian specialty shops. Also, coconut oil is a healthy, energizing, and saturated fat extracted from the coconut meat. Be sure to buy organic, raw, virgin coconut oil. This process produces oil with the least amount of processing so that the natural vitamin E and antioxidants are kept.
To replace coconut oil in raw recipes you can try palm oil.

WHAT IS DULSE?

Dulse is a reddish-purple seaweed. Available in most health food stores as
whole leaf or flakes, this raw food is high in iron and is a good source of trace
minerals. Dulse also has a high vegetable protein content. It’s lower in iodine
than kelp, and milder in flavor. Traditional historical uses include balancing
minerals and helping the thyroid and endocrine systems. A good substitute for
dulse, if seaweed is not your thing, is a pinch of sea salt.
