HEALING US, Restaurant Reviews
Eating out at Rockin’ Raw we discovered a casual, relatively inexpensive and yet superb raw vegan restaurant in Brooklyn, New York – healthy food that is also out-of-sight delicious and unique.
The interior feel and the menu both reflect the owner’s backgrounds.
Tere Fox and Luis Salgadofirst met while undergoing studies to become health counselors at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Opening the restaurant reflected their united passion to help others lead healthier lives - and they could combine their esthetics and desire for sensual sumptuous flavors.
Luis comes from Peru and many of his Rockin' Raw menu creations include ingredients from Peru (using uniquely Peruvian hot peppers, corn kernels, lucuma, maca,and cocao) and with recipes that reflect the oh so spicy and flavorful nature of Peruvian cuisine.
Tere, on the other hand, comes from New Orleans and the menu is likewise full of Southern-style items such as mashed potatoes and cheese broccoli (of course, raw-vegan-style creole). Furthermore, the restaurant's interior has a playful, laid back New Orleans feel, decorated throughout with colorful Mardi Gras Queen beads. Highlighted in the restaurant is a showcase full of to-die-for- deserts, no kidding. Tere expertly teaches classes in making these raw vegan delights.
To augment the dining experience, the couple gives free health counseling to its regular patrons. Got acne? Try going off of dairy for a week, the most hyper-allergenic of foods, but don’t feel deprived! You can binge on coconut ice cream instead! Such heavenly remedies often work wonders.

One of the distinctive features of Rockin' Raw is that it offers not only raw-vegan entrees like restaurants in this genre, but uses purely organic, whole foods, super-health oriented ingredients. You won’t find tofu or other processed vegan staples nor a heavy emphasis on nuts or dates, so common in vegan restaurants. And to accompany the vibrancy of the food, the menu is creative in its details and appears to be constantly adding new delights.
We managed to enjoy first a green drink in preparing for the meal, then a veggie loaf (a mix of zucchini, carrots, pumpkin seed, mushrooms, spices and herbs). We also loved the Jalapeno Poppers side dish, stuffed with sunflower cheese, plus a zucchini pasta with a Peruvian sauce. Finally we got a live eggplant dish that was a tantalizing treat. Being Thanksgiving we finished off this meal with a slice of pumpkin pie (nut-free) from their Thanksgiving menu.
This all barely scratched the surface of what was on their overall menu. Want some "Fried eggs" and a BLT for brunch?
How about spicy chili or some nachos and an enchilada?
Their complete regular menus, obvious labors of love, can be found at www.rockinraw.com

Philosophy of Linking Nutrition To Raising Consciousness
Befoer getting into my raw living food recipe for a dehydrated salad, let me say a few words on my overall philosophy for using nutrition to heal. There are many paths to optimal healing. Nutrition is a major one. We have a choice to focus on any and all major forms of healing – of our consciousness, mind, emotions, body, relationships immediate others, society and our planet. In each venue healing is really a process of reconnection to wholeness. This especially applies to foods, and has something to do with why we prefer whole foods. Now imagine that underlying everything in our universe there is consciousness as the unseen schemata that connects everything as a whole. When we heal, therefore, we simultaneously raise our consciousness or our connectedness within and without. Each person’s approach to nutrition or diet, however, has developed somewhat from the outside in, from an upbringing and the influence of their culture. Few emphasize or are aware of the link between nutrition and raising consciousness. Eating habits also become ingrained, as a matter of habit and comfort, and thus are quite difficult. My experience has been that the raw and living vegan food diet, along with other approaches (such as alternating nutrition with detoxification) will best support an evolving of one’s consciousness. To explain the rationale really would involve explaining a entirely different model of nature. That model is a life-and-consciousness centered vision of nature (rather than matter, energy, atoms) are central. But that discussion in is other posts and here would take us far afield.
Busy Making A New Recipe in My Kitchen
I am excited that tomorrow there is a pot luck get-together locally. See Albany, NY meetup. Thus I was putting together a recipe to bring to this event. I truly feel it is important to network with others, to connect with those who share this approach. And so I thought why not also share this recipe with my blog readers. In my raw kitchen, the stove becomes largely defunct except for the heating of water to pour over some raw soup ingredients or to make other warm and soothing drinks, especially in the winter. Instead I use the juicer, bender, food processor and dehydrator as my primary appliances. We may also have some special kitchen tools, like a little gadget to shed vegetables in a way as to mock spaghetti.
Raw Dehydrated Salad
My recipes are often a combination of pre-planning, having a certain idea in mind and shopping for those ingredients, plus adding what ever is left over in the frig – I am not ashamed to admit because this is a creative process that proceeds in the moment, moments of culinary inspiration. So here is the yummy raw and living food recipe to raise healing vibes which I concocted:
Main Ingredients:
2 Bunches Kale Leaves (removed from stems & broken into smaller pieces)
1 Head Cauliflower
1 Head Broccoli
2 Leaks (or one if you want less of an onion taste)
2 tablespoons Hemp Oil
2 tablespoons Almond Oil
6 heaping
tablespoons Raw Almond Butter
Added Seasoning
3 teaspoons Tuscan Sea Salt (full of added spices)
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Miso-Cup (freeze-dried soup mix)
pinch Oregano
pinch Caribbean Spice Mix
Garnish
Edible flowers or whatever makes the dish savoring to the eyes.
Simple Instructions
Putting all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix and massage them together with loving vibrations. I further add an optional quart of water and save the water for a latter healing drink. Lastly put all the mixed ingredients into the dehydrator, put it on a low setting like 95-100 and for just a few hours so as not to fully dry. Then you gotta-u-self a most yummy treat. My palate was later in Nirvana.
I have great respect for Ann Wigmore, one of the founders of the raw food movement. Among the things she advocated was that we should eat a living foods diet primarily for their life-enhancing enzymes. Get your daily dose of enzymes was the rallying cry. These enzymes aide digestion. They also speed up countless chemical reactions in our body. If you heat a food over 110 degrees, most of the enzymes tend to die.
Here I will argue that what is “life” in our food is not reducible to any chemical formula of elements, reactions, principles or enhancers. The reason why is explained below.
In my opinion and contrary to what we are all taught, math symbols are not infallible and objective tools for discovering the core essence of nature – which represents a 17th century ideology that has fervently taken root . Why?
This is simply because math symbols point (all symbols are but pointing tools) to universal relationships of separation in our consciousness. When we count two objects they must be separate to be able to count them. However, we cannot effectively connect a vision of nature with these penultimate symbols of separation because that represents a cosmic-in-scope contradiction. It is a contradiction at the core of our vision of nature.
Who is logical and who is illogical
It is absolutely not logical or logically possible. It is not a wise vision as a result – and universal acceptance and teaching of that vision doesn’t make it wise or true. It just shows how foolish we remain. It shows how absorbed we are in a cultural illusion that is thousands of years old. The math-bound vision is no doubt profoundly powerful for technological constructs, but on a deeper level is, in my opinion, a very failed and failing view of nature’s core. Now imagine that the essence of what indeed forms “life” in nature is the presence of what we experience every day as consciousness – and that consciousness rather forms this universal connective relationship in nature. It is what subliminally math-bound philosophers sought to discover, but with the wrong symbolism, Math symbols are a poor choice for this purpose because they abstract consciousness separations.
What I am trying to convey, to those whose minds are not closed to new and paradigm-busting ideas, is that our dominant vision of a nature’s essence is a false view (as to nature’s depths and not its surface appearance). It is also a hazardous cultural construct. The fruits of that construct, in my experience, ultimately harm nature’s essence in ourselves and around us. I know these are shocking statements and either I am completely whacked out (as some will believe), or as a former math prodigy I am trying to convey something much more advanced – whether the general public is as yet ready to hear it or not. In fact, our whole ideological focus in the modern world about nature ‘s essence is really clashing and threatening to unravel the whole web of life.
Again this is precisely what is happening in our modern world, and many of my blog posts go into details. The global and growing pollution of our soil, air, water, food supply, interior fluids – all within just a hundred years of the mass application of this vision – is the mounting reality-evidence. Something is obviously going very wrong and we must stop thinking that we are just victims when in fact we are the real creators of what we reap.
So imagine that math symbols should not be used to form a dominant guide to our consciousness of nature but rather subserviently – that is subservient to an integrally connective (right-brain-dominant) orientation to all of nature. It is again impossible to have an integrally connective or integrally conscious view using the most separative of all symbols as revered inner idols or symbolic God-like guides. For example, let us take the use of a phone number in daily life. It helps us to target (separate-out), focus towards, tag or find someone to then connect with them. This is different than using math symbols in the more dominantly “separative ways” – which physics and chemistry routinely and supremely masters. An extreme result – virtually predictable as the materialization of Descartes’ 17th century vision, is the designing and bringing into being of atomic or nuclear weapons.
What we visualize inside of us we then “materialize” or create in the outer world.
Underlying the formulas of Dr. Fehmi for creating atomic bombs were Cartesian coordinates – the radical mathematization or separation (and therefore explosion) of space.
Another consequence is the growing pollution and harm to all of life on earth due to the proliferation of what has been math-designed or brought-into-being synthetic chemicals. Of course we are taught that following the math-bound trail is just a matter of objectivity rather than ideology. It supposedly liberates us to discover nature’s “true objective” laws and we look then at the creation of math-designed, mechanical technologies as undeniable proof. But let us look instead at all of nature, mechanical and non-mechanical, including the overall impact on life!
To test the underlying entirely of the math-stuck view (rather than one chemical in isolation so as to later market a profitable product) let us take a very random and large mix of chemicals to test the whole of the philosophy/ideology of chemistry and throw them into a living environment (such as a garden or compost heap) and what happens?
All of life, yes all of life dies and for a predictable, knowable and even stupidly obvious reasons.
The underlying order, the mathematical, clashes with the very essence of what is life and consciousness in nature. That is why life considers anything mechanical as anathema. We innately hate doing mechanical chores or creations. We loath working in mechanical, assembly-line factories if indeed we have a choice about it.
Species going extinct
Math-designed things are usually made of separate parts (interchangeable machine parts). Organic life does not function in a mechanical or separate-parts way. Life operates on opposite principles and thus violates everyone one of Newton’s mechanical, so-called universal laws of nature. Cut a living organism apart and try to put the pieces of an organism back together (like a machine) and the living organism dies! Progressively apply such principles and species all over the planet begin to become extinct.
What organizes a machine (principles that are mechanical/mathematical/unconscious/separative) and what organizes a living things(principles that re non-mechanical, non-mathematical, non-separative) is very much not the same – and to reduce one to the other can be and is devastating to nature. In fact the two core principles are exact polar opposites. Exact polar opposites! To again force the world of nature to fit the mechanical model is pretty insanely stupid and yet commonplace. It is worse than stupid. It is essentially unconscious, especially of what are headed towards globally. It has disastrous consequences both within our being and without in our environment. A “within consequence” is growing consciousness ailments like cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s all going rampant.
A root vision of nature that so very foolishly is bond to a dangerous vision undercuts our collective evolution. If we only understand the machine-like order in nature, rather than life and consciousness, there has to be huge consequences. Ultimately a vision of nature whose essence is in direct opposition to the core principles of life will undermine, destroy, or annihilate life – and the compost heap is a microcosm of the potential macro-effect. This again is exactly what is, in my understanding, happening in our very, very challenged world. This is why we have a reacting environmental movement. This is why we have a reacting natural healing movement.
Again this is why we are experiencing alarming extinction rates that are unprecedented and in every corner of the planet.
There are profoundly and deep reasons why all of this is happening non-accidentally. Consciousness, at the root of life, forms a distinctly and potentially universal relationship of connection. This is again the exact opposite of what math principles point to via the culturally-learned doctrines of physics, chemistry, and biotechnology of our times.
Living organisms bring out of nature its life and consciousness. Machines bring out an opposite order of dead and unconsciousness. Machines rather model the mathematical perspective or represent its bias-ideology creations. The two can compliment each other, but not when the math-bound view is dominant. What is most separative has the potential to destroy what is most connective in nature, life. When we thus cut any whole food or living thing apart , aliveness and consciousness is lost. For that reason it is a HUGE and bungling intellectual goof to reduce life to just mechanical principles as physics and chemistry, and more recently biotechnology does. These are the very principles whose universal applications are again what is most threatening life on earth.
The resulting advent of atomic weapons are but a single example. There are many more
It is not accidental, for example, that Alzheimer’s patients (those who receive multiple drugs that are math-designed) routinely walk the halls of nursing homes like unconscious, consciousness-depleted zombies. We are told that some new chemical wonder cure is just around the corner! We really fool ourselves tremendously in believing this, derivative of the same core ideology of nature, underlying allopathic medicine. We need a completely different, more enlightened understanding of nature and guidance for the healing of ourselves. We need to know exactly how to raise the consciousness of those who have fallen – and ingesting math-designed pills will predictably lower, damage, or expunge consciousness.
Detoxification is more in order, taking out and not putting in synthetic chemicals. Tell that to the chief physician at a nursing home! More importantly we need to crow-bar ourselves out of the entrenched and underlying root ideology that creates all such a vast mismanagement of the healing processes of life. When also our inner visions are detoxed and healed, then physical healing will manifest more integrally – and surface manifestations of pollution will disappear in tandem.
The deeper pollution is always in our mind’s visions, understanding, spirits, souls, or consciousness. It is the non-physical pollution of awareness within that creates the surface manifestations.
As part of a revolutionary life-centered vision of nature we can thus turn to some new means to bring living forces out of latency in our bodies. We also want to bring life out of nature’s bosom all around us as well. One way to do this within, or for ourselves, is via learning to adopt a living and whole-organic food diet. It is a royal and wonderful and reliable means to heal.
With due respects to Ann Wigmore, this offers a non-reductionist and a life and consciousness-centered reason for adopting the raw or living food lifestyle.
Enzymes speed chemical reactions. Tying this chemical perspective to the chief rationale for adopting a living foods diet is a huge mistake that is part of the larger insanity of look at the cosmos mechanically. This is similar to explaining why the same raw food diet reverses diabetes due to enhancing genetic expressions. The gene model is actually at the heart of the mechanical worldview applied to biology or to all of life’s organic manifestations.
We turn to the raw food diet in order to elicit life and consciousness, and thus connective healing.

Diet and Nutrition, HEALING US, Raw Food Diet
(Healingtalks) We can make some disturbing observations at the supermarket. The fresh raw and healthy foods will easily be outnumbered by mass-produced, boxed “convenience” food, often by 9 to 1.
As most health-conscious people know, the ingredients and preservatives in packaged foods do a disservice to the word “food.” It is better to buy fresh and organic produce and create raw food recipes at home. You will be show many of these can be prepared quickly and easily. What’s the difference? Well, fresh raw whole food substantially boosts energy and health – while highly process, chemically and genetically altered, mass-produced food will sap your energy and harm your health.

(Healingtalks) On a trip to the supermarket, we can observe what is commonly found in other people’s shopping carts. Fresh produce items are often not that prominent but rather processed convenience foods. Actually close to 90% of all supermarket items are either genetically modified or chemically processed and preserved.
Junk-food ingredients include what is artificially lab produced or grown in depleted soils. A good idea is to simply avoid the middle aisles of your supermarket as much as possible and head straight for the produce. David Wolfe, a health expert, says we really live in the midst of a nutritional holocaust. Is it any wonder, for example, that we have a skyrocketing epidemic of obesity and diabetes?
What happens with a diabetic is that the cell walls throughout the body lose their aliveness and can no longer consciously recognize insulin and protein carriers.
The insulin especially stays in the bloodstream to then do harm. Those cell walls are made primarily of fat. When all the fat we eat is deadened and saturated (or hardened), then those cell walls become deadened, hardened and unconscious.
This is why, in a study done by Dr. Gabriel Cousens, diabetes patients were reversed in just 30 days with a raw vegan living food diet. A must see video that has change many peoples lives is Simply Raw- Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days. The drop in diabetes markers for Cousens’ patients was 15x more than with the diet recommended by the American Diabetes Association, and 5x more than for a vegan diet that was cooked.
So when you get home with all those raw organic living foods, why not look up some GREAT raw food recipes. They will inspire you to keep buying only the very best of raw organic and living ingredients. Then you can create what will satisfy your taste buds and keep you supremely healthy at the same time
So seriously consider going raw WITH A BANG!
If the bill gets a little high, I might consider balancing your shopping cart with less expensive foods or going on a juice fast one day a week. Lentils are usually a dollar or two a pound and when sprouted they increase 3x in size – so you get your protein for pennies on the dollar! Or I might look for produce at the farmer’s market with lower prices. There is really no excuse. Remember, get the best . YOU DESERVE IT!
