What has happened to The Rawfoodfamily?? #258

Mon, 04 Apr 2011 02:52:06 +0100

Katie and I were thinking so hard on how we can serve the world with our message of health, raw food and family but not being uncomfortable sharing important information some people are not ready for.

The main reasons why you didn't hear from my Rawfoodfamily was, that we simply wanted to protect our children.

We didn't feel comfortable sharing our life and our family with people and energies that were not ready for the profound truth we stand for.
We are soooooo happy to have found the angle that makes this work for both sides.
We are happy as we can make sure now that the information goes only to the families who really want and need it and you can take this chance now and look even closer behind the scenes and learn about a healthy lifestyle as a family.

We are happy as hippos!

Stay tuned for big news from The Rawfoodfamily!

Update on The Rawfoodfamily.com

Mon, 28 Mar 2011 23:36:56 +0100

It has been a while since we send the last e-zine to you.

We have been busy with other things like growing our other business, going to the beach almost every day and enjoying the hot summer here in Costa Rica.

After being almost a year in a tropical country (1,5 years if you count our Thailand holiday right before we came here), it seems like we have lost any sense for being cold.

I am so happy to know that my youngest son has never felt cold his entire life.

That is how life is supposed to be

We are excited to see life unfolding in a better and better way each day and are filled with trust that whatever the future will bring, its gonna be awesome!!

We still intend to slowly move away from TheRawfoodfamily.com, but are also planning big time in the background to enable you to be still connected to us, the information we have gathered and other raw food families online.

This is very exciting to us, and we will keep you posted on how the transformation will take place.

We still enjoy our rawfood lifestyle and want to be a little inspiration to you once more and share some new angles we have discovered for us...
See you soon
Ka, Katie and the kids

Our raw food life in Costa Rica (March 2011)

Mon, 28 Mar 2011 23:30:36 +0100

Pura vida!
We seem to forget in which paradise we live in here in Costa Rica. Just today as I was going to one of our green houses with my little daughter Ronja I realized again how fortunate we are.

With this video I want to show you how you too can create a garden in a way that it provides fruits and veggies all year round.
It's so beautiful here.
In my believe perma culture is the knowledge we all need to know more of if we want to be prepared for the future life.
Here is some inspiration on how we live this sustainable perma culture lifestyle in our tropical paradise like Costa Rica.

Is ultra sound scan harmful for your children??

Mon, 21 Feb 2011 23:16:05 +0100

Yes, I went for an ultra sound scan a couple of weeks ago.
I know it is not the healthiest thing to do, and it was the first and last scan I did for this pregnancy. I am not a big fan, because it is just not healthy to do it, but as I planned to have an unattended birth I wanted to make sure, that the placenta is out of it's way, and everything else was fine with my little baby.

And the other thing I wanted to make sure is, that it is just one baby. I felt so big already, a lot bigger than the last pregnancies, that I was thinking I might have twins. That would make it count 5 altogether!

But, now we now, the placenta is out of the way and will stay there and it is just one baby. Another babyboy!
The children quiet enjoy to know what sex the baby is, because now it is not just „the baby“, but we can call him by his name. Just yesterday evening the children sat around me, with their hands on my belly, saying „hello“ to the baby. Our Babyboy was kicking and playing around inside and I really felt, that he was really excited with all that attention he got.

Anyway, I found really good information on weather you should do an ultra sound scan during pregnancy or not:

Ultra sound is extremely damaging to the
health of any unborn child (fetus). The natural health community has
been warning about ultrasound for years, but mainstream medicine, which
consistently fails to recognize the harm it causes, insists ultrasound
...is perfectly safe and can't possibly harm the health of a fetus.

If ultrasound destroys sperm, why is it safe for a fetus?

The Rawfoodfamily at The Unschoolers Emporium

Mon, 22 Nov 2010 13:46:59 +0100

As we are home educating our children we have made contact with various alternative edication circles around the world.
One is the unschoolers emporium a community of unschooling families.

As we are doing unschooling and not homeschooling ourself we want to support organisations like these, as there is still so much misinformation out there about what is even possible to do with your children.

As unschooling is such a different concept than all we have learnt it can be quite challenging for a lot of people.

It is even challenging for ourself as we have went through a "normal"education ourself and need to work on our beliefs every day, so we can allow our children to explore their life without any pressure or judgement from our side!

Anyway, we just wanted to introduce you to the unschoolers emporium and send lots of love and support in this direction.

You can learn more about them at http://www.theunschoolersemporium.com/products-page/books/

HEALTHY EATING DISORDER. What can we do??

Fri, 19 Nov 2010 16:23:32 +0100

OH NO! HEALTHY EATING DISORDER!!!

You're not going to believe this... The American Psychiatric Association is pushing for a new disease called HEALTHY EATING DISORDER.

Now let's see if you are AFFLICTED. Ask yourself the following questions:

1. Do you think about eating HEALTHY FOOD often?
2. How Often???
3. That MUCH????

My Goll - It seems you have the disease! A Mental Disorder! You are Healthy Food CHALLENGED!!!

TREATMENT
Take LARGE amounts of pharmaceutical psychotropic and brain altering drugs. Be sure to get addicted. Buy more and more, new and different ones. Rotate them. When you get liver damage, get lots MORE drugs.

See many, many physicians. Get MORE health insurance, or, better yet, take your life savings and give it to the drug companies who are working so hard to SAVE YOU from this DREAD, DRAT disease.

And... you will be given a prescription for Frozen TV Dinners and Salty, Sugary Junk Foods. Yes indeedy.

GREEN HOLIDAY SMOOTHIE RECIPE FOR KIDS

Wed, 03 Nov 2010 19:09:11 +0100

GREEN HOLIDAY SMOOTHIE RERIPES FOR KIDS

Good morning fellow RAWFOOD PARENTS,
It is 8 o'clock in the morning and all our children are awake now waiting for their morning smoothie!

We love to start the day with a green smoothie, to make sure all the children have all the minerals and vitamins they need.
Dark gren leaf veggies are the most powerful source of minerals apart from some superfoods.
They are for sure the most natural one

Our smoothie is with spinach (baby leaf), ripe bananas and water..and that is about it!
Here is the exact recipe:

300 gr spinach or kale
4-5 fully ripe bananas (the ones wih black dots)
1,5 liter fresh spring water
1 teaspoon of honey

Thats it! Of course you can play around and add some superfood like maca, marine phytoplankton or goji berries, but you do not have to.

Everyother day we use a mixture of stinging nettles or chickweed with spinach- but they like spinach the most, because the smoothie is really sweet with it. It is our idea to have a really sweet and tasty smoothie, that the children just love to drink it, especially as it is holiday time and we want to create something very delicious AND healthy for them.
Wild edibles are so much more nutrient rich, that is why we add them as often as possible. They have about 30-50 times more nutrients than the domesticated food, as they are growing wild and strong since ever ouside in nature.
Did you know that stinging nettles have:

30times more Vitamin C
20 times Provitamin A
40(!!!!) times more Calcium
25 times more magnesium and
50 times more iron than an ordinary organic lettuce.

Many parents asked us what we eat on a daily basis, that is why I decided that I am gonna start posting exactly what we eat everyday, to give you an idea. You can follow our food diary at http://www.TheRawfoodfamily.com/blog.php

Love, sunshine and magical days

Our Raw food family life in Costa Rica / November 2010

Tue, 02 Nov 2010 21:28:20 +0100

We are appreciating every day more and more as we talk to our families in Germany and to friends in UK and the USA.

Daylight is getting shorter, temperatures are dropping and the summer is gone.

Not for us.

We have the rainy season right now which means that it rains every day, usually in the afternoon.
But it is warm -very warm- always! We have green plants and jungle wherever we look and the kids love the rain, as even the rain is warm.
They play with the stream coming out of the gutter at the roof of our house and play all sorts of funny games chasing each other through the monsoon rain.

This is the very first cake our kids did by themself!
Look how proud they are!

Apart from this we received an incredible feedback regarding the Raw Mom-cooked dad event, as a lot of people - including ourselves - enjoyed this inspirational and informative summit I had the honor being part of.

Regarding this we want to welcome a few hundred new subscribers to our e-zine. A warm "Welcome" to all new readers from Katie, Ka and the kids of The Rawfoodfamily.

Katie and I also think about taking this e-zine and our whole website to a new level, as we do not only want to talk about raw food and children, but more topics.

The Rawfoodfamily stands for more than that. As we inspire not only moms and families but conscious people in general to make healthy food choices, we feel that we need to open up to a broader audience. You can stay tuned for changes regarding our whole Rawfoodfamily website and business to embrace more people in our growing community,....

We are doing a lot of work in the background to make the Raw Transformation Retreat possible, which will be held from the 27th of November till the 5th of December 2010 here in Costa Rica.

We are very excited and passionate to make it available especially for single moms and also families. We will be there with our 4 kids as well and know about the problems to make such a thing happen.

There are still some places available, and we want to welcome you to have a look at http://www.KaSundance.com/Family-Retreat.php

Katie will be looking after the kids, when we adults will do the lectures and exercises, so you are warmly welcome to come with your children.

Just have a look at http://www.KaSundance.com/Family-Retreat.php

Apart from all these activities are we working on optimizing our environment just to be able to do our online business in a more effective way, and also have more and more time free for our kids.

We have already help in the house so we do not have to care about cleaning and juicing, but we have expanded the time of our little Costa Rica-fairy (who we pay triple the normal price as we are so thankful for her help!) to come to our house every morning at 6 am to juice 4 liters green juice for us.

That is such a relief, as this work takes about 1 hour, and we did it for the last 5 years ourselves - every single morning.

Now Katie and I have time to wake up slowly, stay with our kids and feel safe and abundant. Coming from being poor, relying on payments of housing benefits in the UK only a year ago, we have come a long way. We are manifesting the life in paradise with the business of our dreams making good money helping other people. We made it!

We are blessed and send prayers of gratitude to the universe every day.

Love and Sunshine Katie and Ka Sundance

Vaccination: Necessary or Dangerous?

Tue, 02 Nov 2010 21:13:10 +0100

Vaccination: Necessary or Dangerous?

First of all, I want to say that we are no doctors and have no a background in western medicine or something like that.This article is meant to communicate our beliefs and the outcome of our research only. We do not intend to tell you what you have to do or not.

You are responsible yourself to make good choices.

What we can offer you is our personal view, our belief. Here is what we do: We do not vaccinate our children for several reasons.

As Benny is our oldest (he is 9 years) and our "raw food journey" just started 6 years ago, we where so different when Benny was a baby.You have to know that Katie and I were so young when we became parents. We met when Katie was just 18 years of age, and we had our first child when Katie was 22.

We felt dependent on doctors (with a weird and weak feeling in the stomach already) at that point in time as we didn't know any better.So Benny got some shots when he was a young baby, and he heavily reacted to them, as I know I did as well when I got the shots.

But since we are on raw food (almost 6 years ago) none in our family has had any vaccinations.

   1.

      There is no real proof that vaccinations work anyway. I have heard and read about many cases, where kids got the shots and suffered from the diseases they have been made "immune" against later on. So they not only got the shots which have been proven to do terrible damage to the immune system, but they had no protection at all.
   2.

      The side-effects are so strong that sometimes they can be worse than the disease itself. Not only do some of the vaccinations work in a way that they infect you with the real virus, so the little bodies get totally stressed to fight something that was not there before, but there have been many, many cases in which other diseases have appeared as side-effect of the vaccination, some of them with death as final result.
   3.

      The side-effect of the vaccination itself. Some effects can be so strong that people have reported to get in shock and suffer long-term damage as direct results of the vaccination. Damage that is effecting them up until today and for the rest of their life's.
   4.

The unclear structure of pharmaceutical industry, government and the "gods in white" medical guild who gets paid by the pharmaceutical lobby to prescribe and give the drugs. As long as this structure is not clear and transparent, and billions of dollars can be made with fear and disinformation, you have to doubt everything you have been told from doctors and government. They are the puppets of the pharmaceutical industry.

In addition to these 4 reasons I want to mention that we have been traveling the tropics for a long time, together with our little children. This makes things even worse for people with doubt and fear.

One more reason to do all these vaccination is for protection.
It is so funny and fits perfectly in our modern way of thinking being separated from our intuition and mother earth, that we want to believe that some god in white gives us the magic pill, that will heal us from diseases and protect us from all further dangers. We are weak victims without power and knowledge if we believe in this picture the government and pharmaceutical lobby wants you to believe in!

As we travel countries with malaria, dengue, millions of bugs insects and other parasites a lot of people do ask us if we take for example malaria prophylaxes to protect ourselves, and what our experiences are regarding doing this with small children and infants.

Our answer is: None in our family has ever taken any chemicals, drugs, pills or prophylaxes to prevent diseases. None in our family has been sick at all since we went raw.

You see that is the point. We so desperately want to help you to take the power back to yourself. Back where it belongs.
You do not need the doctors and pills. They do not help you and you do not need any help, as you have everything you need to restore and maintain perfect health.
(Do not get me wrong. Doctors are great if you have an accident and break your bone. We need their knowledge and wisdom in these extreme situations. But only then. In all other circumstances can we and should we take care of ourselves in a responsible way!)

If you eat a healthy diet, do exercise, are in contact with Mother Nature every day and look for your mental and emotional well-being, there is nothing you have to be afraid of- and in our belief and experience there is no need for vaccinations then, as your body can take care perfectly care of itself.

That is really all you need!

This will help you to get in deep contact with your source and restore not only health but also trust, which is what is missing so much in our world.

We do not fear any anything as we take care of ourselves to the best of our abilities.
We allow ourselves to be and create without limitations or fear. We also take responsibility for our life and our health.
This is the key success to health and why you do not need vaccinations, doctors or drugs.

This is our belief.
