[ rawgirl75 ] : I went to the market today and there was a troup of Buddhist monks in the store looking lost (12/18 19:17:50)
[ RawGuru ] : hanks (12/18 20:53:13)
[ durianking ] : How's that? (12/18 19:18:7)
[ RawGuru ] : Hey QuantumKiss! (12/18 20:53:31)
[ RawGuru ] : make it bolder too (12/18 20:53:38)
[ QuantumKiss ] : hi! (12/18 19:18:21)
[ durianking ] : OK How is this (12/18 19:18:51)
[ RawGuru ] : When somebody asks paul a question please number it. Thanks! (12/18 20:54:17)
[ RawGuru ] : Perfect! (12/18 20:54:21)
[ QuantumKiss ] : that works (12/18 19:19:8)
[ rawgirl75 ] : 1)I would like Paul to talk about his new book (12/18 19:19:42)
[ durianking ] : It's good to be here everyone. Thanks Alex for this (12/18 19:20:1)
[ QuantumKiss ] : great to have you, paul (12/18 19:20:17)
[ RawGuru ] : 2) Are you thinking of opening a raw cafe/restaraunt? (12/18 20:56:2)
[ durianking ] : 1-My new book going to be out this winter. It is called "Health according to the scriptures". I've taken all the health messages out of the bible. The bible is the best health book ever written. Did you know that? I'm sure everyone who reads my new book will. (12/18 19:21:22)
[ durianking ] : 2-I think about openinga a raw cafe or restaraunt all the time but I know I won't because it keeps me in one place and I like to travel. You never know about the future but right now it's not in my plans. I used to have a restaraunt in NYC 100% raw. It was a lot of work. (12/18 19:22:38)
[ durianking ] : Where is everyone from? Who have I met in person at my events? (12/18 19:23:31)
[ rawgirl75 ] : 3) When you were first starting out on your raw path, did you ever think that you were going to end up being the icon that you are now? (12/18 19:23:57)
[ QuantumKiss ] : im from columbus, oh (12/18 19:24:8)
[ rawgirl75 ] : Im in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (12/18 19:24:29)
[ RawGuru ] : 4.) Have you had any tooth problems on %100 raw? (12/18 21:0:11)
[ durianking ] : 3-I don't consider myself an icon but I never did think it would take me where I am at now. It's sure an exciting life. I feel so blessed everyday. (12/18 19:25:19)
[ rawgirl75 ] : (Great #4 question RG) (12/18 19:25:27)
[ QuantumKiss ] : 5-what is your daily diet like? (12/18 19:26:2)
[ RawGuru ] : (speak to rawgirl75) Thanks! (12/18 21:1:27)
[ RawGuru ] : 6.) What is your favorite dessert recipe? (12/18 21:1:58)
[ durianking ] : 4-I haven't had any problems but know people who have. I don't think the problem is being raw. The problem is some people who go 100% raw think they don't need to brush there teeth. Sugar is still sugar even if it comes from fruit. We need to take care of our teeth always (12/18 19:26:40)
[ durianking ] : 5-I usually eat between 2 to 4 meals a day. The more I exercise the more I feel good about eating more. I would say I eat about 4 to 6 fruits a day and a big salad. I love smoothies and blended saladed. I eat a lot of blended foods (12/18 19:28:14)
[ rawgirl75 ] : 7) Where do you stand on supplimentation? Do you take them? (12/18 19:29:13)
[ RawGuru ] : Hey Karencard! (12/18 21:4:41)
[ durianking ] : 6-I love so many tropical fruits by themself for dessert. Here is florida we get many of them. Mamay's are an amazing fruit. Right now I'd have to say my favorite recipe for desert is Papaya nut milk ice cream (12/18 19:29:49)
[ RawGuru ] : 8.) What kind of water do you drink? (12/18 21:5:18)
[ durianking ] : 7-it is important to take supplements if you can't get what you need from food. I suggest most people take supplements (12/18 19:31:3)
[ durianking ] : 8-I am trying out Ionized water right now. Seeing if I like it or not (12/18 19:31:44)

[ QuantumKiss ] : 11 do you have any suggestions for people trying to be raw vegans on a tight budget? (12/18 19:37:40)
[ durianking ] : Sometimes I eat dried bananas from glasser's farm. Other than that not too often anymore. I used to eat too much. (12/18 19:37:40)

[ RawGuru ] : diet? (12/18 21:16:0)
[ durianking ] : 13-I workout with weights often. This is so important when it comes to putting on muscle. I have always worked out even before being raw. I can put on up to 5 or 10 pounds working out (12/18 19:41:44)
[ RawGuru ] : Does anyone else have questions for Paul? (12/18 21:18:55)
[ RawGuru ] : Ask away! (12/18 21:19:0)
[ Christiana ] : Uh, where are you right now? (12/18 19:44:2)

[ durianking ] : Cacao I'm not sure about that one. Agave Nectar could be raw for sure, but it can also be cooked. Depends on the source I guess. I tell everyone not to over eat on anyone thing. Even if a person is eating agave nectore that is not 100% raw. If that's all they are doing that's cooked, that's (12/18 19:47:2)
[ RawGuru ] : What do you think about seaweeds like dulse, kelp, etc... (12/18 21:22:24)

[ QuantumKiss ] : not yet, but i just ordered some a few days ago (12/18 19:49:15)
