Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

@Tyler - As I live on the west coast (by water), I get a lot of seafood for fairly cheap. I've been experimenting with fermenting salmon in sauerkraut juice. So far it has turned quite slimy (and tasted like cheese), which as far as I've been reading is quite similar to the high meat flavour?
I will look into this brainwave program, sounds intriguing.

@goodsamaritan - Will do! I am omnivorous myself with fasting days. In terms of raw vegan recipes, mostly I use them (and especially green veg) when I help people transition from SAD to RPD or when someone has an advanced illness and needs quick reversal/an excuse to chill out and not do much (not much energy given from "green" fasting).

Herbs are very individual-specific. They can be used in acute conditions (pain relief, new infection), chronic (inflammation), or as gateways to emotional dimensions of held trauma. Trauma is a complex thing, and more and more I see that many diseases have an emotional aspect that has not been dealt with. Again this is specific to the individual and their needs.

I also believe that humans evolved with different plants according to where they are from, so would do better using those plants.

@dariorpl - It is all very individualistic. We must do what makes us feel good.
