Real N Raw

Real N’ Raw showcases a solution that offers everyone a chance to live a pain and disease free life.  So many of us still think that health is unaffordable, that organic fruit and vegetables and things that are marketed like health supplements are so expensive that it can really stop someone from thinking that health is not obtainable because of budget.  For centuries we have been indoctrinated with poverty, especially as the world population grows and the wealth/poverty gap grows bigger.  But ask yourself what is able to bridge that gap, what is it that is able to give that feeling of abundance, excellence and that feeling that comes through living our dreams.  So I want people to understand that no matter where you are on the financial ladder, health is obtainable for you.  Once you make your mind up and decide that change is going to happen in your life no matter what, then the solutions can appear.  It is when we say that oh no it is too expensive or I can’t afford to buy fruits that the mental poverty trap keeps us in our misery.  Me and my girls constantly not because we have too but because it is really a fun thing to do scour the neighbourhodd for locally grown back yard fruit.  We have a great time, jumping fences, loading up jumpers and pockets with fruit and not to mention the taste of the stuff.  Delectable.  Talk to your neighbors, share back yard fruit, it is a great way to get to know everyone.

Anyway back on to supplements such as vitamins and minerals.  I just want people to know that even though there are a lot of good extra additions to a healthy raw diet out out there, don’t think because you can’t afford them that you can’t reach optimum health for you.  Matty’s best healing was done eating watermelon and lemons alone for weeks on end.  Yes just watermelon and lemons, in fact that is what saved him from an early grave.  Sometimes he would only be spending $15 a week on food and that was when he was able to put in the hard yard to make Real N’ Raw possible.  He had so much energy that he was sleeping less, working out more and able to balance his new found health freedom.  So no we are not trying to put the supplements industry out of business but what we are offering is a solution that is obtainable on any budget.

Please remember that it takes time to heal after years of eating a processed and enzyme deficient diet we are finding that people want overnight miracles.  Even though when Matty went raw the initial boost of energy and pain relief was a highlight, it was just the beginning of a roller coaster ride towards health.  It is not all easy and there are some huge detox periods that people are mistaking for allergies and thinking that raw food is not for everyone.  Once you understand how the body works and heals itself you too can understand that the process takes time.  It is not a magic pill but more an ongoing choice to be healthy and is certainly worth the ride.  Who on earth wants to live in pain and disease, no not much fun at all.  We had our share of that and think that once you know the solution the long and short term benefits are well worth the self discipline to obtain.  You will be amazed at how the most annoying little things mental, emotional and physical can just disappear after a period on raw foods.

Gosh, how many people do you know have a health related issue.  Obesity, diabetes, aging (yes health related), Alzheimer’s, asthma, eczema, cancer, aids, leukemia, heart disease, blood pressure, mental illness, depression, aches, pains, anger problems, acne, period complaints oh the list goes on.  Yet a very small and I mean TINY portion of the people would want to associate this to the diet we are consuming.  Real N’ Raw has a great quote in it and that is “It is easier to change a man’s religion than it is to change his diet”.  Now well ain’t that the truth.  I think to start with we should look at the facts.  Don’t go changing anything just yet, put your ego aside, get out of your and everyone elses way and look at the facts.  Find the people who get results outside of pills, medication and the current mainstream health solutions.  People with any disease are starting to turn to alternatives such as naturopaths, osteopaths etc but out right refusal to look at the fundamental, because that would mean having to change what you eat.  It is ironic, I eat and comfort the disease I have with the very thing that has caused the disease in the first place.  Think about it, if you are sick to any degree, including aches and pains and you are eating and type of meat including fish, dairy, bread or any type of processed food then there you have your answer staring you in the face.  Well I may not be a medical dr but I hold a science degree and I know how to research, I also knew how to motivate my dying partner into changing his ways.

So if you are suffering from any form of disease, there is hope.  Turn to someone who understands raw foods and fasting, give me or Matty a call +64 9 5213039 and we will be happy to open ourselves to you.  We have lived through hideous disease, pain and suffering and we are only 35, luckily we now have our lives and sanity back, onwards and upwards!  Make friends with us on facebook also dana@animators-ink.co.nz or matt@animators-ink.co.nz  we are more than willing to help you on your journey.  Why?  Because we got the results we were after, we travelled far and wide to find people who had healed themselves of cancer and even people who had healed a severed spinal chord and is now walking again.  If anyone tells you there is no hope for your condition, tell them to have a nice day and never phone them back.  Turn your back and have the courage to find those who give you hope.

Matty’s biggest hurdle was letting go of disease, after so long living with it, it becomes your identity.  When you start to heal it is almost like you are so wide awake for the first time it can be quite a emotional ride.  But well worth the effort.  There is no food that tastes as good as being healthy feels.  Nor any drug recreational or medical that will provide the high that fasting and raw food provides.

Changing our diet has played a huge part in our physical health, but what about the emotional aspect of ourselves.  I have found personally on my journey of health and wellness that as I changed my diet to eating raw foods that all the stored emotions from my childhood have now slowly come to the surface.  You know the ones you don’t even know you have but your current behaviours that are expressed through relationships, kind of like software to the computer are seeming quite dysfunctional and you all of a sudden see how you are sabotaging your own life!  We have our own personal emotional programming that I have found I am now able to deal with as I am eating loving raw foods that enable the strength to be able to deal with the emotional pain.  It can be quite a journey releasing those and I absolutely recommend reachign out for help.  Don’t hold it in, it is ok to find an outlet for dealing with past traumas.  No matter how little or big.  With our youth suicide rate here in NZ way out of control I think the huge impact all the chemicals in our foods and drinks and drugs both pharmaceutical and recreational play a huge effect on our youth suicide rate.  How on earth can a blue drink or one filled with caffeine and aspartame do any good for anyones chemical make up.  Our amazing brains are being poisoned and IMO causing a huge amount of unrecognised depression in our society.  So for all the youth out there who are feeling frustrated, anguished, unheard don’t be scared to speak your truth.  Consider what you are eating and the role that has on our physical well being but also our emotional/mental self.

Sometimes it is hard to find someone to help, just know and understand that you have to ask and upon asking someone or something will always appear for you.  You are special, the universe does care.  I have found at times that it maybe you just need to sit on a beach or in a forest and just let it go.  But there are many alternative practices surfacing again, perhaps a massage, naturapoth, homeopath or even a dam good colonic can help.  Start to listen to your guidance of intution and trust that you know what is right for you.

Have a blessed day

Love

PS.  The word emotion = energy of motion and all we have because we can move and interact!

I think it is high time that something is done about all the lies being fed to our youth.  Just today I sat at assembly and listened to the principal tell the children that the sun is bad for you and causes dangerous diseases later on in life and if they want to play at lunchtime then they have to wear a hat if going in the sun.  Now when children are inside all day and only have 45 minutes of sun exposure I think this really important to teach them about how important time in the sun is.  Our children are intelligent genius’s who with the right information can make their own informed decisions, they should not be driven by fear into listening to someone else’s scandal.  I will be approaching him with swards of information on how important it is for our children to be in the sun and teach them about healthy eating of fruits, vegetables, leaves and nuts.  You see if you eat enough green leaves and fruit in your diet you do not get burnt in the sun and you actually feel when you have had enough sun and can make your own rational decision about it.  It is all the toxic dead lifeless foods and drinks that we are consuming that is causing our skin to burn in the sun.  I have met numerous fair skinned people who after changing their diets to raw living foods can now go in the sun and not burn, myself  and children included.  It is amazing how people are told something and automatically beleive it without doing any research of their own.  Hmmmm makes me even more concerned about the other “stuff” our children are taught in our schools.

So we are seeing such an increased rate of diabetes, asthma, eczema, cancer of all kinds, autism, adhd and the list goes on in our children.  I want to encourage parents into understanding that these are ALL diet related diseases.  If your medical professional is only willing to prescribe you medication and not get to the root of the problem then I would fire them and find a new one that will support you on your journey to health.  The more a dr prescribes the more they earn and also they play a huge game of ego power over people.  An authoritative stance like they are the only ones who know anything about disease and that most other people despite curing themselves of cancer, despite curing diabetes etc want nothing to do with understanding how that is done.  Cut burn and poison are the medical industries approach to dealing with disease.  YOu may think it is a pretty loud statement to say that diseases such as cancer are curable but when you see it with your own eyes adn then do nothing about it, well I couldn’t live with that.

Get empowered, get strong, get stubborn and make the change.  Open your mind to a new world.

Matty at age 12 turning his back on the Doctors death sentence.

Breaks my heart every time I hear of another person who got the death sentence handed out so flippantly by a Doctor.  You know you only have 6 months to live your cancer is terminal.  Well the fury wells inside as I reach for my raw crackers covered in home made pesto, topped with raw cashew cheese.  You see we lived with our own death sentence, Matty was given his at aged 12 and I know many many many others who are reading this have had theirs too and also know the truth about cancer.  Cancer is easier to heal than IMO the common cold.  Having cancer means that your body has become a rubbish dump full of crap.  How did that get there?  The food that we are eating is nothing short of crap of course.  Well I hear so many people say, but oh I eat a really good diet.  Well reality is that if you have cancer, then you do not.  I have watched Matty go from being quite possibly the sickest man on earth to being a bright, bubbly, fun loving partner and companion and now living disease and pain free.  He lived in constant pain for 30 years until we changed our diets.  For goodness sake he had anal cancer, that I liken to having to poo fire 15 times a day.  So to anyone reading this who has cancer or any other disease and has become morbidly depressed from what the Doc has told you, it is my suggestion that you tell them to @#$% off.  No one has any right to tell anyone that they are going to die when they have not done the research and REFUSE to open up to the fact that cancer is curable.  Your body knows how to clean itself if you give it the chance.  So the main thing is people dont want to give up their current diet.  I know that it isnt easy to give up eating meat, bread, dairy, sugar, chips and all other processed food, but these things are accumulated together along with all the chemicals in our environment and water supply and I am not even going to go into our emotions and are causing our bodies to become diseased and sick.  Be strong and have the courage, fortitude and will power alongside self love to guide yourself through becoming the healthiest person you know.  BTW cancer is not something wrong with your body, a huge myth in our society is that disease is something wrong with our bodies.  Well our bodies know exactly what they are doing and are designed to stay alive and do everything possible to stay alive.  Cancer is likened IMO to a rubbish bin.  Your put crap in the bin.  Your body does the same thing, storing up all the puss and crap that we have eaten and not being able to eliminate it, stores it.  Then you get the diagnosis from the all powerful men/lady in white and given one of three options, cut, burn, poison.  Never a mention of nutrition, in fact most tell you to eat more dead animals.  So they cut out the rubbish bin and the body goes into shock, what the heck!  And now it has to build more.  As people dont change the very reason they got cancer in the first place, generally two to four years later, oh, low and behold it is back!  But this time, it is everywhere, the body was so shocked at having its cancer bin removed, it now has to make many more, in order to keep itself alive and safe and store the crap that you are still putting in.  So people, your life is yours, do as you will, but do know that there are thousands upon thousands of people who have healed themselves of the big C by changing what we all do 3 times a day.  Have the courage, do your research, find a Doc who will support you but most of all, do it for yourself.

As I am not a qualified medical professional I must say that I probably am not even allowed to write this.  Your life is in your own hands, just know that there are others out there that also know the truth about healing cancer naturally.

Thank you to my lovely, inspiring friend Jacinta for kindly sharing this tried, tasted and delicious raw food salad with me.  One of the things that is quite frustrating when making raw food is finding easy recipes that actually taste good.  There are so many on the internet now and sometimes when you read the ingredients it sounds like the most disgusting thing, not exactly an inspiration.  So here goes, I made this again last night and shared it at a family pot luck and it was the yummiest thing there!

Oriental Broccoli

6 dates soaked for 20 minutes

1 teaspoon ginger root

1 T shoyu or tamari

1t toasted sesame oil

1/4 cup olive oil or grapeseed

4 cups chopped broccoli

1/4 cup sesame seeds

Combine all except broccoli and sesame seeds in a blender (preferably vitamix) and puree.  Then pour over broccoli and sesame and toss.  Marinate for at least 20 minutes and enjoy

Infertility, it surprises me how easy it is to dismiss what is causing this.  Sometimes the answer is so obvious we dont seem to want to recognise it.  However in NZ and most western countries we have seen the rates of infertility soaring in recent years.  Does anyone think that just maybe there is a simple explanation for that.  Perhaps if we are infertile it means that our bodies are not quite in a healthy state to support a baby and that maybe just maybe we need to look at changing something we are doing.  There is a grand old saying… if you always do what you have always done, then you will always get what you have always got… hmmmmm… so anyone who is reading this and has a friend or themselves are finding it hard to get pregnant then thinking about the internal environment and preparing that for a baby is really important.

By creating a loving, nutritious environment that is enabled by eating fruit, green leafies, nuts and vegetables, the body can prepare itself for conception.  A lot of people do not want to change what they are accustomed to, but I say, what do you want more, bread, dairy, meat or a baby!

It is not rocket science to understand that we are what we eat and the fact that this plays a huge factor in the outcome.  So if you are finding it hard to become pregnant and really really want to then one of the things to look at is nutrition.  Think about it, it is common sense, science 101.  Our emotions also play a huge part and well that is another story…

By stepping into action, the process takes care of itself.  I often wondered how people became wealthy, healthy, bright and bubbly and now from creating this movie as an independent film, outside of any rules or regulations I know why.  It is about following your journey and not taking no for an answer.  You see so many people have dreams and often when they come up against a no, it stops us in our tracks.  However when that no comes, it can be seen as a time for contemplation and more strength and determination to make our dreams a 3D reality.  Who is in control of our life, well that would be each and every individual.  I feel so blessed after the last year and a half working on Real N’ Raw, it was not the destination, although that is a pretty cool accomplishment, it was the journey and what happened to me along the way.  I am now a totally different person.  I have faced so many old patterns from my childhood that kept saying no you cant do that or who do you think you are blah blah blah.  Well we are all the stars in our own lives and life the journey  is exactly that, the journey of understanding and amazement and shedding of any negative belief patterns that stop us in our magnificence.

Make your day the most magnificent ever because you are the one star in it!

Well guys, I had to do it.  After just watching the headline news on TVNZ, I am shocked and appalled at our approach to swine flu.  When did it become normal and accepted practice to put needles in our arms (hmmm what are we teaching our children!) and look at disease from a “MEDIKILL” approach.  There I got it out.  I will not be going anywhere near the swine flu nor any other vaccine and I am shocked that people automatically without question put these things into their amazing body without questioning and finding out the facts and risks associated.

Long live the day when the Ministry of Health starts to research and support the “HEALTHY” option to dis-ease.  That by eating as nature intended and supporting our immune systems to build their own defense.

So what is the big deal anyway?  There is such a vamp surrounding the name of this flu and alongside the one sided mainstream media approach, the hype is disgusting.  Warning people of a pandemic and not even once encouraging people to eat healthy and prepare your body using natural boosters and clean healthy living food.

Well I am not a medical scientist, nor do I want to be.  However I am a mother with two beautiful girls.  I can safely and with confidence say that we will not be lining up now or in the future for the swine flu vaccine.  For all other families out there I absolutely encourage you to do your own research before making your decision.  I offer this as support for those people who are living in fear due to the “scare” tactic campaign offered by our health ministry.

The last flu epidemic saw more people die of the vaccine than the flu itself.  So I will leave it with this, disease is not something wrong with you, it is the bodies way of saying hey something you are doing is not serving you.  Perhaps that may just be what you are putting in your mouth!
