I eat plenty of raw foods here on my mountain, but not by choice -- my blender broke. Lots of bananas but the banana flower must be soaked and cooked or else one will die. Same with bamboo shoots. OK, I never experimented otherwise, as

having walked from the airport... I'll be dead soon anyway.
As far as "healing" I would think my place is rather like the Ice Cube lyrics, and "retreat" as in rhyming with "defeat".
