Detox nonsense & more bad hair (Reacting to when I ate raw)

[@spudstalker9824]

I use to have a cooked food problem. People scoff at the addiction, but it's true. I've been raw vegan for two years now, so two years clean, and I'm never looking back. I remember when I was 14, my mom found a bag of red lentils under my matress. I heard her screams from the garage, where I was making heavy metal music with my friends glorifying the downward spiral of eating foods heated over room temperature. When I ran in the room, she was holding the bag of lentils, crying. "How could you do this to me and your father!?", she exclaimed. We shouted at each other a little before she made my flush the lentils down the toilet. A couple of years later, our school had a random drug search. As the young German Shephard approached my schoolbag where it was lying in the hallway, I started to sweat. It sat down and pointed its nose towards it. *Shit.* The cop pulled out a Complete Cookie and started screaming at us: "Who's bag is this?!". Of course it was mine. In the principal's office, I vehemently protested that the disk of heated starches, refined sugars and proteins wasn't mine. He wasn't buying it. He produced a small plastic container and a test kit and waited patiently for me to produce a sample. Nervously, I obliged. He didn't need the test kit, though: a stream of bloody urine spilled into the cup as he shook his head in disgust. As the cop walked me out the front doors in handcuffs, a photographer snapped a few shots of my tear streaked face. I got clean in prison. Sure, it was easy to get boiled potatoes in the can: people smuggled them in anyway they could, but I persisted in my quest to get clean. I would go to the lunch counter and get a giant serving of celery and tomatoes every day for lunch, and every night, I lay in bed sweating with intense stomach pains, vomiting the same raw foods into my toilet periodically. It took me several weeks to get clean, and I haven't looked back since.

Tim Basham that's some introspection (inception)

[@peekgniog8348]

i don't know why people say you are bad for veganism.. really, a rational way of going about eliminating animal products is bad in the long run? do we want a generation of alzheimers and dementia in a few years that will put a bad name on veganism for the next generations? do we want to eliminate this diet forever? or do we want to set an example that you can be healthy and eat vegan at the same time? please do more bean recipes videos for beginners, too :)

[@toddymikey]

I love this humorous self-deprecation. It's very you. Some sites tend to regard you as the Vegan Robot, and I think that this helps to humanise you.

[@LordofFullmetal]

Why? Because she's calm and rational? Is that really so weird for vegans? She's always been very human to me, I don't see how people can think otherwise.

[@laurenXocean]

as a transitioning vegan, I notice a LOT of mucus whenever I have dairy after not having it for a while

OMG this happens to me too!!

[@evab.6240]

Mucus? Where?? :O

[@johnborland7865]

Yeah is that a thing?

It’s a mucus forming food. Your body will produce mucus to protect itself from something it doesn’t like.

[@evab.6240]

@@paulperrin5905 Okay but how could you notice that happening, seriously?

[@kennyderoian8904]

I really enjoy these videos that you create, not just for the fact that you share what you’ve learned in retrospect but also that you aren’t afraid to publicize it.

[@SarcasticParenting]

My caffeine addiction was so intense in college...I had a migraine for 3 days and was exhausted for over a week. THEN at the 1 week marker I woke up with my lips tingling. Caffeine is no joke!

[@LordofFullmetal]

Oh yeah, for sure. Did you see the video where Gabbie Hanna tried to give up caffeine? Emphasis on TRIED. I've skipped ONE coffee and had headaches so bad I couldn't function. Caffeine addiction is no joke.

[@Scrapegoat]

I am comforted by your hysterical reaction to having compared withdrawals from cooked food to being like drug or alcohol withdrawal. I really get so offended when people downplay that shit, haha! Edit: Thanks for explaining how so many of these fanatics theorize periods are not acceptable. I assumed they must not even understand what a period is... though I’m sure plenty of them really don’t. You have a bit of a wild look in your eyes in the old videos. It’s so funny to me how often people say that they feel “light” when eating raw. Like sure, you feel light-HEADED.

[@juliamihovilovic1543]

No one comments anymore on the topic that videos are about. Swayze, nothing matters anymore but a Kale seitan, so you better post a recipe.

[@drakesheets6612]

This video reaction to your earlier video and earlier state of mind was beautiful and perfect, Unnatural Vegan. Please, keep 'em coming.

[@sandrak2429]

I laughed so hard at the alcohol withdrawals comparison haha

[@MS-tn4ys]

as a former heroin addict (been sober for 3ish years) it’s so fucking annoying when people compare things to withdrawaling from drugs that aren’t even comparable tbh

[@katfoster845]

I've withdrawn from high dose SSRIs and that was intense. I felt like I was going crazy, I was shaking, I wasn't sleeping, it was intense. Changing diet? Nah. I know it's not the same as heroin, but it's still a pretty powerful drug.

i mean, absorbing the uteran lining instead of shedding it sure would be nicer than having a period, but its not how humans work.

[@laurainrevison1162]

Many people do have increase of mucus. I have never heard of the grain mucus claim, but I believe it is linked to allergies, sensitives, and the makeup of that food causing an increase in mucus, inflammation, and bodily responses. I have noticed that my seasonal allergies are not as bad since I have steered away from almost all dairy products.

[@Pawsz]

dairy prompts excess production/secretion of phlegm my mum's a nurse and would tell me to avoid dairy when i had a cold as it would only increase the production of phlegm and keep me way stuffed up

[@Pawsz]

swayze if u wana know anything medical i can ask my mum for you, she will only give me an answer if she knows it , she has had to study everything doctors do, even though she doesn't practice medicine, you can be sure she is sure, as a nurse she must be able to act upon information.

[@angelicearthling]

I've been subbed to you for so long that I've seen all your old videos, when you were "FitonRaw". I was raw at the time also. I used to think 'cooked food was poison", probably because I read David Wolfe's book that he no longer sells called Natures first law and at the end of every single chapter it ends with 'cooked food is poison'. I remember you had bunches and bunches of bananas in your house too lol. I do have a question though about detoxing(not from cooked food obviously). What your opinion on chelation therapy and detoxing heavy metals? Or people who take out mercury fillings? Or niacin flush where people have said that detoxes heavy metals also? I'd be curious to know your view.

[@misspaigeness]

[@maumiceli]

It actually happens that when somebody in a high fat raw food diet switches to a low fat but still raw food diet, they stop feeling bad. And it makes total sense.

[@corichin2156]

I think it's good that you went through this transition. You were sort of the guinea pig to all these untested diets so I think that's good. It makes you a reasonable person being able to grow from the situation and give helpful information regarding it. Of course you could have saved yourself the trouble by not listening to propaganda and doing research but who does that and what's the fun in that anyway? Lol. Thanks for your videos they're very insightful. I like seeing you watch embarrassing old videos but that's just me.

[@blah9876ish]

Thanks for this video today. Reminded me that I have had no protein sources today, except like a tablespoon of almond butter, so I do need to plan this better. I have been vegan for 5 years and I am still learning too

[@dianamendoza6829]

I love seeing you cat during the outro ❤️

[@marshmallowsontop]

That's why I eliminated dairy, because when I ate it the next day I would cough up mucus. I don't know if that's a common thing for most people but it made me feel a lot better after I stopped eating it.

[@maumiceli]

Actually there are abstinence symptoms, not because of the abstinence of cooked foods in general, but of starch and gluten (and dairy, yes) and probably other addictive and unhealthy substances. It's milder than what happens with other substances, but it's still real. It's very clear to almost whomever tries to stop consuming these things.

[@rosefitz7694]

can one of y'all explain the kale seitan jokes

[@maledicenttails]

rose fitz About 2 years ago Swayze said that she would post her kale seitan recipe for everyone and that she just needed to tweak the recipe. It's been 2 years. She knows we've been calling out for it. But we still has no recipe. :(

[@emberk.9704]

You mentioned here about losing your period on a raw food diet. I just am curious why that happens? Why do women become infertile on a raw food diet?

[@zaynabi662]

Im think its because you arent getting enough/all of your nutrients which leads to your body not releasing an egg because its physically unfit to carry a baby. This also happens to anorexic women

[@maggiescenekitty]

The crazy thing is I experienced some detox symptoms when I stopped consuming meat and dairy. I was extremely nauseous and I had a constant headache for about four or five days. But it's NOT comparable to anyone going through some sort of substance abuse withdrawal! The closest thing I can compare it to is going through like a caffeine "withdrawal" - That caffeine headache you get when you stop drinking soda and coffee. That's my experience with it.

[@briannab4770]

I was actually surprised to see what was said about mucus and dairy. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that for me, dairy causes a lot of mucus. Particularly milk. When I drink milk, I'm hacking up so much phlegm and I can feel far more of it in the back of my throat.

Can you do a video on soy formula vs cow formula? Everything I read says soy formula isn't as good as dairy formula and shouldn't be used unless there is a medical reason your baby can't have dairy formula. Is there a vegan formula that's just as good to use to supplement breast milk?

[@anonchick4789]

cerealbox I think she already has one,called something like "breast is barely best"

[@hellobonjour9513]

Try soy formula first, make sure it has enough fats, vitamins, proteins, calories, and check with a doctor for baby's health progression every couple of weeks. If something goes wrong, do as doctor says. I had soy formula because I couldn't have dairy and I'm a 5'7 woman if it can reassure you. I know parents want everything to be perfect for baby :) don't go through more stress than you already are, it's details. As long as you feed your baby an approved formula and check up with a doctor regularly, baby will be fine :)
