The information on the content is as follows:

Raw Food is Not Just For Rabbits

The most memorable part of a meal, and often the part that everyone looks forward to…is dessert. Come out for an evening of fun, learning and tasting …of some amazing RAW desserts. If you want to impress your guests; if you want a healthy sweet; if you don’t have the inclination for fussy, time consuming too sweet desserts…this is your answer. Menu includes: Almond Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting, Mango Macaroon Tartlets, Raspberry Ganache Chocolate Cake, Chia Chai Pudding and Apple Cobber with Apple Crumble. Recipes will be provided. These recipes do not require a dehydrator, just lots of love. $65 prepaid

On another note, I have been promoting www.ewg.org with regards to their Dirty Dozen and Healthy Fifteen foods that you should eat organic, Well, the latest research which is very disturbing has shown that up to 1/3 of our flouride body content is a result of cyrolite (sodium aluminum flouride) that is sprayed on non organic vegetables and fruits as iceburg lettuce, citrus fruits, raisins(grape juice, which is the basis of all fruit juices). So bottom line, YOU HAVE TO EAT ORGANIC or grow your own garden.

See the clip below:

This borders on the ridiculous. We jump up and down giving high-fives every time we get a community to remove fluoride from the water supply. The fact is that fluoride is so embedded in our food supply system that a little in the water is of no consequence anyway.

The time, the effort, the press; it goes on and on. This huge amount of effort I guess does give one the feeling of a moral victory, but the fact is while we have been so focused on the water, they have doubled, tripled and quadrupled our intake from other sources. Fluoride is even a major component if Ritalin!

Is it any wonder why THEY do not want home-grown gardens, organics, etc and gives us the small victory of fluoride removal from a water system?

Cryolite – sodium aluminum fluoride. Now there is a winning combination.

There was an independent study done by Sweden and Canada testing the most pristine waters on the planet that were not inhabited within a 100 mile radius…guess what they found? There are no waters on the planet that are not contaminated by heavy metals to say nothing of other toxins. Please, I urge you to get a water filtration system to remove flouride, chlorine and heavy metals. The cyrolite spray on our foods is composed of chloromine and hydroflourosillic acid which leeches lead from your pipes.

Individuals think that if they live in the country and are not using city treated water they are safe…WRONG! The water basin has metals in it that are not detected when you have your well water tested for bacteria count.

I use a Kangen water system with added filtration for Chlorine and Flouride and heavy metals. It is a system used in 80% of the schools and hospitals in Japan. If you would like more info, please contact me.

As most you you know I shared my heart and opened up to my challenges over Xmas..a little glitch right now. I have to leave my present residence as the owners son and his family are experiencing some financial challenges and are moving back home, which means I have to leave by the end of Feb. So, I am looking for a new place to call home, country setting within a 100 km radius of Burlington or similar, pet friendly and high speed internet. So, if any of you know /are open to / please email me.

It has been delightful connecting with so many of you, some I know, some not… yet…your support, encouragement, little notes…I truly appreciate. You never know in what way you may have been an influence in someones life.. a lift…a smile..a word of encourgement. From the bottom of my heart..a deep felt thank you.

As always,

LIVE LIFE RAW
