This video reminds me of the anecdote about the late herbalist Dr. Christopher. He was invited to be a speaker at a similar sort of health fair probably around 50 years ago. He walked through the exhibit hall and saw all the vitamin and supplement products. When he got up to speak he said, "this fair is supposed to be about health, but walking through the exhibit hall I saw nothing but dead products displayed on the tables..." You could hear a pin drop, and naturally he was never invited back!
If you think John doesn't care about you then you don't deserve to be on his channel. Thank you John for looking out for everybody even if they don't believe the same as you. Also thank you for all the work you do. I love your good better best approach. I am even teaching it to my kids. We are applying it to many different parts of our lives.
Who said John didn't care about them?
The people talking about how he mentioned if you are going to eat meat you should produce it yourself. How upset they were that he even said that. He only said that because he isn't bias and cares about everyone.
Bill Jangins he is right when he said that. at least you can feed the anima'll s what they are suppose to eat and they will not be getting all these weird diseases.
Agreed. That was my whole point. That is why I said he cares about everyone. Even non vegans who consume meat. I thought people getting upset because he spoke about that are silly. They clearly don't appreciate the man and therefore shouldn't be on this channel.
Lol.
John, you are the most passionate and level headed vegan on the internet.
J.R. Trevino ~~ Agree. John Comes across genuine, down to earth, relatable and educational and encouraging, yet Not judgemental. Thats a good TEACHER :)
First Amendment he's been a raw vegan for over 20 years, how long do you think it would take? He nearly died just after college and this diet has kept his disease at bay. John knows his body pretty well and takes good care of himself. I high,y doubt that he has heart disease.
J.R. Trevino Yea but like most of his vids he could have done this 90 minute vid in 9 minutes. I have no idea why he talks so long about so much nothing. Good dude, but he needs to tighten up his delivery.
His delivery is what makes him who he is in the world of healthy living. He may give u info u don't think is important to u but it may be important to someone else. Don't ever change John!
First Amendment - actually the food he eats are heart healthy. So you comment is null and void.
I Love John he is not some stuck up vegan who thinks he is better than others ( looks like most of them are) but he is humble, chill, and most of all honest person in the industry. Thank You John for Your service
optivitanutrition yeah, John actually cares about people. I love that. I call myself plant based. I will not call myself vegan. I don't even tell people I don't eat meat. I did it for my health and there is nothing wrong with that, and I tell others the things i've learned on my journey.
bookmarkthis You can't stop humanity from eating meat. John's point is, even if you are consuming meat produce it yourself so you don't get adulterated food.
His main message is health of human life before animal life.
Although he's against killing of animals.
I'm plant based because of religion for instance.
You can't if you don't try and you definitely can't if you tell people it's okay. Just lost what little respect I had for the man. He also started out the video fat shaming, so tell me who is stuck up and pretentious.
You must be 100% Liberal 🤔
Vegan Tree Hugger: I get it. It is easy to find style errors in John's videos. (Examples: hire a hit man to kill your wife or do it yourself? Making money as a bad motivation? Shunning a person with High BMI... sounds mean) But you just have to think about what he is saying. His info is good even if his analysis has some flawed logic. This makes him human and imperfect... not bad and unworthy of a listen. Your all or nothing logic is just as suspect as his belief we should all live in a coconut growing zone. Hypersensitivity serves no one well.
I love how you always address that we are all at different levels but at the same time encourage us to move closer to a vegan home grown diet. 👍
It is so addicting to watch JOHN. He has the perfect energy for camera. Love how he knows the product in and out and actually give you information of what's in the expo instead of just showing what's in the expo. And the fact that he can remember all the info not because he tried very hard to memorize them but he knows enough to associate all the info with his daily lives. Greattttt work JOHN!!!!! But obviously you know it already 🙌🏽
You are the bomb. At 50 and ALL my research and trying different diets, raw vegan is the only way that has worked for weight loss and health. Thank you so much for taking the time to help us. Thank you. I'm planting some vegies today.
The planet needs more people like John!👍👍
Thank you so much for your wise comments and all the testing you do for us. I appreciate your objectivity so rare on TH-cam.
Just came back from Tahiti and brought back a kilo of vanilla straight from a producer! They are the best, fat and so soft: dried naturally in the sun an stored weeks in cotton bags to sweat, unlike those that come from Madagascar that are chemically dried which takes much shorter time.
My grandparents were farmers but the next generation no longer followed that tradition. My grandfather lost his farm to a rich guy that lended him money. I wish I would have lived in those times to learn all the proper ways of farming. It's not easy but I'm going to see if at least I can grow an Orange tree.
I never thought of growing a coconut tree in Minnesota.
Andrew Church I'm going to. plant one here in northern illinois
Living in PA I know it'll be tough but I'll just get those wheelie trays to bring my potted coconut trees inside every winter.
Qwazier3 How do you keep the coconut palms from growing too tall and yet producing nuts?
Twas sarcasm but I have a plan.....( =
@@Qwazier3
PLEASE share (your plan)!!
Thanks John you are inspiring.
I think the info that John put out for the world to hear is good information better than watching tv show that just gives you useless information. Because i I watch growing you're greens and watching the vegan athlete I converted over to vegan I'm overweight but since I became vegan I lost weight I grow my own vegetables and fruit trees so if John help one person like me I'm pretty sure he's doing something right by making these videos all it takes is to help one person. So John and Jake mace thanks for all you're help 🙏🏽✌🏽
I love you man!! So many toys for me to try!!! Until now, I only had one crap (home mixer, plastic...) but soon, soon, when I get back to my feet.
But not only that... you're prime example of a fine channel content. You've helped me a lot talking to pioneers of fresh food (I do not label people, raw, probitic, meat eater, carnivors, similar shit talk....), I saw most of their mistakes which are they doing even now but it is a great experience, seeing and not needed to talk to them myself to learn soooo much... you're important so much to this beautiful world, you have no idea how much - just keep doing what you're doing. You're awesome. Cheers!
Thanks for always encouraging us to do better. I may not always agree 100% but you keep me on my toes, thinking, and it's always a joy to listen to your perspective.
JOHN! I learn more from you in one video than I did from all my upbringing and thanks for clearing up so much. Now I can actually eat without being stressed!
Thanks for bringing forward the idea of the vacuum blenders, and a lot of other stuff lol. Extremely helpful. I have periods of time where I eat more carbs, but I don't brush my teeth often enough so my teeth become a little sore. I recommend oil swishing, which is just swishing raw oil in your mouth for 10 to 30 minutes and then discarding the oil. I do this once the sugar feast is over, maybe once or a few times, and it removes all of the tooth sensitivity.
John, thank you so much for making this video. Your message is so important and needed.
You look soooooooo young and that plant based diet is the proof. I mean you look like a young boy I'm inspired by you. Thank you for all your passion we need this badly. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Paula's Life he doesnt even look like his 40s
Perfect sense from a passionate educator. Very very informative, thank you.
Hi John, thank you. With vacuum blenders, is there an update in the base and blade technology, or is it just the container that is being updated? I am wondering if Vitamix comes up with a vacuum blender, would one have to buy a completely new blender, or do you think it would be possible to just get a new vacuum container?
I like the Tribest glass blender. Is juicer or blender better? What is the difference between slow speed juicer and high speed juicer? I was told that a slow juicer is better. By the way, is it not better to just eat raw rather than having the raw food processed? (Juicing is a kind of process). I am kind of confused. Would appreciate it if you could do a video on it. Thank you.
Thank you for this info. Love your videos.
I make my one fruit vinegar too :)
TANNYRAW I want to learn! I'll check out your videos :-) Thank you :-)
Amazing video. Didn't think I was going to watch the whole thing but I couldn't stop watching! Always so inspiring, thank you.
Really appreciate the work you put in, thank you!
first time watching this channel,,,, Love It!
John,
Thanks for another outstanding educational experience. I noticed that the Vacuum Blender does not have a plunger like the Vitamix does. Will it be able to pull all of the blender contents down to the blades for complete blending and even consistency?
oh my goodness!!! so so true! what we eat is everything and home grown/made is the very best!
I just discovered you 😊... and you are such inspiration. Thanks 🙏🏼
Thank you for years of sharing your knowledge with us!!!
I hope there are and waiting for versions of small vaccum blenders the size of the glass next to this big blender! I use Magic bullet, which helps tremendously with handling because I have c spine problems and will be in pain if I lift or push or carry anything heavy. Great information, John. Thank you.
dude you're awesome. thanks so much for the valuable information. keep up the good work!
Will you do an update if the raw vinegar come to the states
I WANT THOSE BLENDERS
John I am enlightened by your comment regarding eating meat it shows and encourages me that you acknowledge that not every one watching and following you is a hard core raw vegan, and or vegetarian. At this point and time I have not completely made the transition to fully raw vegan and vegetarian but with time and your guidance I know I will get there but at the same time during my transition and continued education I appreciate the fact that you understand and appreciate where I am in my journey instead of condemning me with a holier than thou self proclaimed attitude and judgement. Just wanted to throw this out to those who feel the need to cast stones your way who in their opinion consider your words sinful regarding eating meat.
Right on John!! Love the honesty you come with.
Thanks so much for your advice haven't bought a blender yet and now I'm glad but am probably more confused
Nature has all we need! Thanks for putting it out there!
Love you, John, and am glad you didn't get arrested out there. There are people around with strange ideas like you shouldn't talk about healthy foods and cart you off (heaven forbid). Doing a great job. Thanks.
Thank you. It so amazing that you can rattle off such good information in an organized presentation. You are very talented. Wonderful.
Awww man! combine to that a zero waste lifestyle, a minimalism approach to consumption and a resilient, self-sufficient home! we've got a damn good advantage!!
So much great information and products, I felt like I was at a conference!! Thanks a million!
Always amazing and useful information!!! Thank you so much!
Hey, John, I have the old 30 yr old Vitamix. Is there some technique to less damage the nutrients some like perhaps blending less or something?
Its40 yes. old, still going strong they have tons of them on ebay it's the 3600 plus Vitamix. I love it so much I bought another for a spare in case it dies. I doubt it will, at least before I do, I'm old. It was built when America did things right before planned obsolescence. It has a spigot on the container, great innovation you can taste to see if it needs anything, great machine $75. on Ebay a steal the new ones $400.00...
GREAT video, John!
Awesome video John.. as usual ..watch you all of the time !! THANK YOU !! W the vacuum blender .. would I be able to powder dried fresh herbs too .. and Dried fresh moringa??
Sure hope to hear back for you ~~
BLESSINGs to you always ♥ over and over and over again !!
love this episode, i want to buy a vacuum blender now!
Love the video John! I'm making positive changes everyday to becoming my own food producer. You are an inspiration!
"Unfortunately you all might not live in a place where it's sunny all the time, wait... *haha* Philadelphia" lol you're great! 😂😂❤️️
Can you please do a comparison between these 3 vacuum blenders? 1. Sano - the Capsule S Vacuum Blender 2. Dynapro Vacuum Blender 3. Kuvings Vacuum Blender. [Please excuse me if you already have a video that compares these. If you do, please share with me.] Thank you.
thank you John, this is another amazing video
Thank you John, for all your hard work and everything you do. I absolutely Love your channel, you have taught me so much. It is crazy how they have meat at a health expo, beef is the number one cause of heart disease.
John, I love u!!!💚💚💚 Thank u for keeping it real and informative!!
I love Dr. Greger too! Thank you for the great information, John! I have started container gardening the last few months. The QUESTION I hope you can answer for me is .....approximately how much of the nutrients or anything are we losing from blending our veggies and or fruit? I am not an all or nothing thinker but I would like to know if it's better not to blend at all. Thank you.
Where can you buy the high vitamin d mushroom powder, John?
You look fantastic, your skin is glowing. keep fighting the good fight. love your passion.
Hello...I'm new to your channel and I'm enjoying them. I have been making my own soaps body lotion shampoo etc. I also make my own laundry detergent and dish detergent. I love my own products. I'm learning about vegan/vegetarian more and more each day. Thanks for the information. have a great day-Jen
Really interested in those vacuum blenders, haven't heard of them before. Great video, watched the whole thing. Thanks bruther!! Raw foods for LIFE!
kuvings vacuum blender was your Best demo John, thanks 😁
Using kombucha mother I ferment my fruit juices from my own farm. currently I am on peach but I will be doing raspberry soon but white wine grapes are ready now.
Why did you take down your review of the Costa Rica Fruit Fest?
John you are awesome I love you is a blessing to have you!!!
Hi, I am loving your videos! so informational. I was just wondering if you have any advice for someone living in Canada where it's below freezing for at least 4 months out of the year? I want to be a producer! I want to take control of my health but I feel like I can't really grow any of my own food anywhere in this climate.
John loves us. He cares
Lots of good points
John , thank you for this video. Based on what your saying there is one whole food completely natural and pure product called propolis. The only one that I have seen first hand and through personal use is Beenefits propolis. It is 100% pure and very beneficial for health.
John Thank You!
Great vid John. The hemp seed has a nice balance of the omega 3 and 6.
This right on the nail nothing is like growing your veg plus if you want to be healthy playing and simple eat more healthy cut out the garbage the you are consuming and life will change for you he is right 100%
Thank you for sharing your knowledge to help us all. can you please make video's on what you eat in a day. i understand to eat fruits and vegetables but its more helpful to show how and what you consume in a day.
thank you again 😆
05:32 Dude, not everyone sits at the tropics! lol
Andrei Piatra Coconut palm in Colorado would be interesting.
Even in Hawai`i you can only grow them a few feet above sea level. I can't grow them at my property that is at 1,500 ft. on the Big Island.
John, where can i purchase kuvings vacuum blender? and wanna know how much.
Mahalo John for a great video on healthier products!
Okraw is adorable. You rock!
Love you're videos. Totally agree Whole Foods and juices you make yourself are much more nutrient rich for the body.
Thanks John for another awesome video, I'm currently 18 and i recently just decided to go on a raw vegan diet, i know it will be a challenge, but i know it will be so worth it. Looking forward to my future progress, and especially loosing some of this weight. Anyways keep up the good work, and may God bless you my friend :)
he tells us to become producers instead of consumers. the highest message of any vegan/health youtubers
Hey John, I have a friend that has a Persimmon tree, and I love when we go at his back yard and jsut take them off the tree and eat them! I really want to have that at my place, but I live in an appartment... Can you give me some tips of fruit that would do great out of vases, even big vases, that I could grow on my balcony? I was thinking of Avocados, but they really need some space to grow as a tree... Maybe physalis? I live in Portugal, so the winter here is kind of mild, if that information is of any help. Cheers!
John, very cool to hear that you follow Dr Greger. Me too! Re: date sugar...what about date syrup....do you approve or is this more processed than the sugar granules you showed in the video?
Thanks John!
John you are amazing god bless you.
I'm going to harvest dandelions and pine pollen because coconut trees are not an option in Canada...you are very correct John
U R a crazy Guy, & I love u for it! Thank u for ALL u do!
This was a great video and very informative. Glad to know about the vaccum blenders and will look out for your detailed review later on. Hope you don't mind me sharing a few products that have benefited me tremendously. For beauty products like shampoo/conditioner/teeth/body I never go wrong with a company called "Living Libations"...all their products are amazing and healthy for our body/skin/teeth. The other company that has brought a higher level of health is the probiotics from Puradyme...I make my own yogurts with this stuff and my digestive system is running so much better now. I am not affiliated with these two companies...I just have had amazing personal results with them. Thank you John for all that you do.
Peace & Blessings,
Laura
My food coach told me to not eat fresh/juiced vegetables/fruites in the evening because it will stay in your stomach and turn into alcohol while you sleep. Have you got any opinion on this?
Great, we have 2 coconut trees, Guava tree, 2 Apple trees, 2 Malunggay trees, Jackfruit tree, 2 papaya trees, a Guyabano tree and 2 lemon trees, we also grow cabbage, mint, lemon grass, sweet potatoes, hot peppers, onions, Sabong, tomatoes, bitter melons and beans. Some are hard because of the bugs UGH........And on top of this I love smoothies!
👍 Great video. Thank you.
What are we to do with our Vita mixers!?
I love this guy!
Hope they don't ban you from the next Expos. ;) Great message you spread, John. Thank you!
Here's a tip if you walk near someone smoking in public. Pull your shirt up over your face/nose and hold it tightly on there with your hand until you pass that person. If you can, hold your breath while doing that. But, if you can't hold your breath at least there will be some barrier from the smoke getting past your nose. Oh, and walk really fast, too! I know this sounds ridiculous and probably looks funny but I don't care, I cannot stand it!!
urthebest1122 me either. Cigaret smoke is a instant migraine for me. I don't understand how it is legal.
Oh, yes,, migraines, that's a whole other story, awful to be around smoke when having one... Your lungs do not want smoke in them, it's crazy how so many still smoke knowing this.
I wish you all were here so I could light up in front of you.
car exhaust is disgusting too very sickening in fact
Hi John , how much coconut water a day is save to drink in ounces? I know you love coconut water.
Oh I love you John ! You're my favorite resistance movement member 😄
Martina Badrov -------- PROUD OF YOU.
I know this is an old video, but making your own vinegar is soooo much better, and so easy! I have made apple cider, pear, pineapple, raspberry and blue berry. I challenge you all to try it.
"This is why the world is going to shit" Haha! Wow John! So straightforward. I love it! No longer a sucker of this industry, I'm happy to report your method of going back to basics and growing our own fruits and vegetables as much as possible plays a great part in improving out lives. Environmentally as much as healhwise. Can't grow a coconut tree here in Canada yet! But a greenhouse adjacent to my house is going to get me plenty of greens and fruits/berries year round. Nut trees coming soon!! Thanks a bunch for giving me back control of my life in those areas. Gained back some financial liberties and my time is now spent differently. wouldn't go back! Keep up the much needed work and research! I'm going to peruse your gardening channel now. :))
Awesome video John, thumbs up :-). I really like and appreciate your way trying to get the people to be more a creator instead of a consumer. My 50 cents to the new blenders coming up soon... although i like the way that Hurom is working on noise reduction, i really like and prefer the way Tribest goes. Many people have a powerful blender at home already, whatever brand and model it might be and not everybody has the money to buy a new blender from the scratch. So with the seperate vacum device and the jar, you might be able to uprade your blender at home to a vacum blender, if Tribest sells those seperately, which i really hope ;-).
there's a 'fight club' quality to your work. I love it because it's right.
Apprecialove you John!
