Yes, in the book there are a lot of stories about my kids and how I implemented the diet myself. I give many examples over the whole book, also about other practical things. One of the tricks to teach kids eating healthy is when we take them outside for some activity. Simply take only fruits and veggies with you, so there is limited choice, but take some that they already like. First of all eat them yourself (if it doesn’t work at first, just keep doing it). When kids are hungry and outdoors, their instincts kick in and they may like to have some with you, as there is no other choice and secondly everything tastes better OUTSIDE. However: FRUIT MUST BE RIPE and SWEET, not mushy, not looking bad. Those things matter at first a lot. My kids would not eat it, if fruit is damaged, smashed, has brown spots etc. But do not comment on your child’s choices, do not try to convince, do not push, rather show then tell. Just offer and step back if they refuse, do not make a big deal out of it either. Wait till he is hungry. Travis was almost starving himself when we first begun vegetarian diet, he wasn’t eating much for the first 3 days. Just looking at the rest of the family. By the third day he has found new things he likes and he was completely fine.

Everyone is different. For some people it takes months to transition, to drop their habits mostly, to learn new foods, new recipes, to get used to it. Other people just change right away, as it is easier for them, they don’t like to slowly change things and choose more radical change. It depends on the type of the person you are. But when there is a health issue on the line it is actually best to switch without too long transition, just easier for the body to start healing sooner without loosing any more time. However at the same time it is important to approach a period of detox to reduce the inflammation before actually we can begin eating a lot of fresh fruits for further healing. Some health problems require the need to avoid sugar, even the best kind and natural one from fruit, just because of the chance of feeding pathogens in the body and making matter worse. This situation is specifically addressed by my newest program: Ullenka’s Green Fix.

Not really, but eating a lot of raw cauliflower or broccoli may be hard for digestion. Then it might slow this process a bit. I suggest eating only broccoli or cauliflower tops shredded into salads or smoothies, no raw stems until further into the diet. 

First of all, let me tell you this – For a short period of time, even a couple of years, our body has enough storage of some things that is able to survive without any harm. 

Second – you can always keep testing your son’s blood every 3-6 months to make sure you are doing ok. 

Third – ongoing eczema is more harmful then any poor diet because parasites are eating all the nutrients, so the body is usually malnourished in the first place.

Fourth – most of the “scary” stories come from people who were either not able to manage this diet properly, or failed many times, or just use their failure as a bunch of excuses to feel better about it

Cronometer is prepared for standard diet nutrition. It is very different on raw vegan, for example – body fueled by raw foods doesn’t need that much calcium, because it will not use it to alkalize the body, because diet is already alkaline. VItamin D only right source is SUN, ignore Cronometer, that is counting artificial vitamin D fortified into milk and processed foods. The same with B12.  Once person is eating raw foods, B12 bacteria has good conditions to produce B12 in the amount the body needs. Raw vegan doesn’t need to supplement B12, however if you test once in a while and supplement some B12, that’s ok. When you eat some cooked foods every day, you may want to supplement b12, but it is not always necessary. I suggest testing it regularly. All micronutrients will be absorbed much better when body is receiving a daily sun exposure, exercise, good hydration and much needed love and peace. So far I see my kids have great amino acids levels, great b12, most minerals, some are a tiny bit lower then norm, but my kids are also still detoxing and healing. Only fully healthy body will be 100% on exact levels.
