Resources
Raw support and community:
Meetup
is a great way to meet people who regularly gather for potlucks, to support
one another, and to host educational events. A great place to meet like-minded
people on a similar path.
The Movement to Reverse Diabetes Naturally is a huge collection of everything you need to know to implement a raw foods diet and reverse diabetes. Although it is primarily aimed at Type II, some Type I has been reversed and there are many mis-diagnoses. I very strongly recommend the DVDs -- for you or anyone in your family affected by diabetes. I've seen the movie many times and, because I trained at the Tree of Life, still get misty-eyed.
The Rave Diet and Lifestyle is where you can get such great books and DVDs as Eating, and Healing Cancer from Inside Out. These items are endorsed by T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D (The China Study) and Neal Barnard, M.D. (Program for Reversing Diabetes)

Excalibur Dehydrators are the standard for raw foodies and superior to what you will find at department stores due to the construction. The fan blows evenly to all layers unlike other models where the fan is on top or bottom (which means you have to rotate the trays). If you take one of my classes, I can offer even better prices!
