Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. It works with phosphorous to build and maintain bones, and with magnesium for cardiovascular health and skeletal strength. It is also important for the flow of electrical energy in the system and in helping to transport nutrients into the cell.

When we are truly conscious and awake, compassion and humanity play a huge role in how we conduct our lives. The cruelty of how crabs and lobsters are killed is unbearable and inhumane to me. Our taste buds should not be a reason for compromising our natural state of being, which is to be humane.
We are regulars at RFD (Real Food Daily), an organic vegan restaurant in West Hollywood. In a recent lunch, we sampled their new appetizer, which is not on the menu yet, a wonderful vegan version of crab cakes! It tasted so good that we decided to come up with a nutrient-dense, raw-vegan version of it. I literally channeled the recipe through my mind as soon as I went into the kitchen with the idea to make something. My husband kept asking me, “so, you’ve never made one? So you don’t know the ingredients? And you know for sure it’s going to taste good in the first try?” My answers were “no, no” and “YES”. I just knew that all I had to do was tap into the collective unconscious on this one. We have to remember that inside of us are all the answers to all the questions we have. And being in touch with this truth as well as having the clarity to recognize it is what raw foods help me do – clear my channels, elevate my electrical frequency – to be able to easily and constantly be connected to the being that animates this body and is tapped at all times into the source of life. What a wonderful thing to have your food do for you. Without further ado, the delish, nutrish, cruelty-free and RAW: Silvie’s Sea Veggie Cakes. Read More…
