Raw Doctors

I'm so excited to see how you've grown, Paul.

I need to correct you on one little point.  Dr. Ann never went to the Hippocrates West Palm Beach facility.  People were told that she was coming many times, but she never did.  She went to her Institute (The Instituto de Ann Wigmore in Aguada, Puerto Rico) and to Boston, and we traveled to many other places where she gave talks, but not to WPB.  That is Brian's.

I need to ask your help (not only for you to sit down when you eat!).  I just had to helplessly watch my 46 year old daughter die from the way she was treated at the National Cancer Institute at NIH.  She had asked me to promise that I not say anything to the doctors at all, not one thing, and I did what she asked, and had to go into the TV room and cry and bawl when I saw how bravely she tried to continue to believe in them, until her doctor told her, "Sherri, what have we done to you?" and she then said, "Mom, I'm going to have to do this myself.  They don't know what they are doing." 

Subject: Just in case you missed the lecture tonight, here's a very brief summary of Brian and Anna Marie Clement's talk (2 December 2007)

Never mix fruits and veggies (watermelon is a veggie, so it and greens are ok)

Don't mix proteins and starches because if makes gas and alcohol - nuts and crackers are a good example - your body will make alcohol in 20 - 45 minutes

no proteins and starchy carbs - root vegetables

If you have cancer bacterial infection, lyme disease, fungal disease, diabetes - no fruits until you get well. Afterward, just 15% of your diet should be fruits.

In CA, oranges are picked green and sprayed orange ('color enhanced'); in FL they ripen in April but are picked in November and are acid.

Children can eat up to 40% ripe fruit

80 oz. of fluid (that includes smoothies and energy soups) a day for a 160 pound person is necessary

Put distilled water in a window for 20 minutes after you add some minerals (a little dulse is ok - I use a tablespoon and blend it in a cup of water and then pour it back into the glass pitcher and put it in the window.

Do saunas to sweat

If you can't get distilled water, organized molecule water/living water by Dr. Higgins in CA

Pure (not flavored) Smart water is good and alkaline

Penta water is not good

MPCE from gasoline is in all water supplies

Send out happy, loving thoughts and within 5 minutes there is a positive chemical and hormonal healthy change that will be visable in a blood sample.

Eat local food, which has 10 - 30 times more nutrients in it than imported

95% of supplements are dangerous/damaging. Whole food supplements are not.

Brian at 20 weighed 240 pounds and smoked 3 packs a day as a drummer. If he walked up 3 or 4 steps, he had to stop to get his breath.

eat 80 - 90% of your food raw, eat all organic

After disease is healed, you may eat up to 25% of cooked food

millet or tempe

He is adamantly against water fasting. - dementia from that lack of B-12

sunflower greens, pea greens, cucumber and celery for a green drink.

Use no beets or carrots because there is too much sugar and it feeds cancers, viruses and molds..

Do use parsley,kale

2 oz. of wheat grass juice = 7 pounds of juiced vegetables

clover sprouts are great

Peace and love,
Flora

Dr. Jim,

I am the proud grandmother of a 1 month 2-week old baby girl named Rylee.  She is having a hard time on the baby milk she is on. She has thrush & a virus called a Roto virus which has killed her good bacteria in her intestines. The first ingredient in her baby milk is corn starch solids, which will only make it worse.  

I know you are wondering why I am sharing this with you.  But I thought you might know who to forward this email to who might have a suggestion on what we can do.

Liz

I passed it on to Dr. Flora:

Breast feed, breast feed, breast feed. There's nothing more important than breast milk for a baby. You will be able to give the baby a tiny amount of wheat grass juice in a dropper, use coconut milk from the coconut, blend some papaya, make some Energy Soup. But, your breasts will be able to begin a flow again, even after this short time. There are amazing stories of 'virgin' women who have breast fed 'foreign' babies, after a period of stimulation of the nipples so just don't give up.


Peace and love be with you.

Flora

Hi, I have breast cancer - why not??? -- "No Braggs or olive oil ever should be allowed in the Institute, and not more than 1/4th of an avocado or the same amount of seed or nut cheese should be allowed a student who is challenged with cancer, heart condition or diabetes."

CD, New Zealand

I'm passing your query on to Dr. Flora, who wrote the article [Dr. Flora Responds to Janet Ng]. She'll answer it much better than I can.

James

Dr. Flora responds:

Look at the DVD "Eating" from RAVEdiet.com. 470 physicians in DC at the 1st International Continuing Medical Education Seminar on Nutrition with George Washington University sponsoring it, got the DVD and it's changed the lives of everyone who has seen it.

I've already seen research that the test results with olive oil come back causing cancer 17% of the time. Do you want a quart of gasoline on your fire instead of a gallon? You will not get well with any clarified oil in your diet. Only 2 ounces of avocado diced on your Energy Soup at one time, or a tablespoon of flax seed (not oil) that has been soaked for 10 minutes and blended in with some greens or soaked almonds, or watermelon, etc., or the wonderful oils that are present in such great foods as dulse, purslane, buckwheat greens, sunflower/sesame seed cheese, etc.

It all starts with diet/Federal 'guidelines' are too fatty
T. Colin Campbell, Caldwell B. Esselstyn Jr.


  As scientific researchers who have spent our careers establishing the link
between diet and disease, we find President Obama's directive on
"restoring scientific integrity to government decision-making" very
welcome news.

  We hope this will lead to health care policy that is informed by America's
most ignored scientific fact on health: That a whole-foods plant-based
diet can prevent and in many cases reverse heart disease, diabetes, cancer
and other chronic diseases.

  Today's health care debate has very little to do with what makes us sick.
It is centered almost entirely on who gets covered and who pays. Extending
coverage to more people is a good thing. But Americans who already are
covered are suffering rising rates of chronic disease. Lack of coverage is
not causing their disease, and expanding coverage won't cure these
diseases in others. We have to do more than increase coverage.

  The No. 1 cause and cure of America's health care crisis is right under
your nose - it's what you put in your mouth.

  Unfortunately, the scientific findings on diet and disease are
marginalized by the political power of huge, mutually reinforcing
commercial interests - meat, dairy, sugar, drugs and surgery.

  These industries are desperate to sell a solution that obscures their part
in the problem. If they can convince people that the cause of our health
crisis has nothing to do with eating unhealthy food, and everything to do
with increasing access to drugs and surgery, Americans will spend
trillions more on health care without improving their health. That's what
happens when you leave science out of public policy.

  If President Obama wants Americans to get the full benefit of scientific
research on health, then he should add three measures to his health
reforms:

Hello everybody,

I am a member of The Grain and Salt Society ( http://www.celticseasalt.com/ ), suppliers of Celtic Sea Salt, other unrefined sea salts and other food products and I receive their electronic newsletter.  The current issue had the article below by Dr. Tom Cowan in it - it's very interesting and I thought I'd share it.  It explains why milk from the cows that make up the majority of US herds, Holsteins, can be hard to tolerate for some people and why the same is not true for milk from old-fashioned cows such as Jerseys.  Fortunately, small family farms around here often have Jersey cows so if you have problems with regular milk you may want to seek out one of those farms and give their milk a try.  And oftentimes raw milk is more easily tolerated because it has not been processed, altering its structure and destroying the enzymes that actually help you digest it.  For a very interesting and extensive discussion of raw milk see the book The Untold Story of Milk by Ron Schmid ND, which we have in our lending library.
All for now, Susanne

The Devil In The Milk

by Thomas Cowan M.D.

I have been involved in thinking about the medicinal aspects of cow's milk virtually my entire career. As one four-year-old child pointed out to me many years ago, "Mommy, I know why he always talks about milk, his name is Cow-an." So, I guess this milk "obsession" is no surprise.


The obsession started in earnest about 25 years ago when I read the book The Milk of Human Kindness Is Not Pasteurized by maverick physician William Campbell Douglass, MD. This was one of the most influential books I have ever read. I became convinced that a large part of the disease in this country is related to the way we handle, or rather mishandle, milk and milk products. Raw and cultured dairy products from healthy grass-fed cows are one of the healthiest foods people have ever eaten. It is the very foundation of western civilization (not that this is necessarily so good). On the other hand, pasteurized, particularly low-fat, milk products have caused more disease than perhaps any other substance people are generally in contact with. This view was re-enforced when I met and joined up with Sally Fallon and learned the principles of the Weston A. Price Foundation. End of story, I thought--I could stop thinking about milk.


Over the years, every once in a while Sally would say to me, "You know we have the wrong cows here." I had also heard this from assorted bio-dynamic farmers but didn't really know what to make of this or whether this was a medical issue I should be tackling. All along, though, something was not quite right. It remained unmistakably true that many of my patients, in spite of eating only the proper dairy products, still had illness and still seemed not to tolerate milk. Truth be told, for most of my adult life I myself couldn't drink any kind of raw milk without feeling a bit sick and congested. Somehow my story with milk wasn't quite finished.

Along came the GAPS diet (Gut and Psychology Syndrome) and the use of low dose naltrexone:  many patients only improved and recovered when they eliminated milk (but not other dairy products) from their diets and took a medicine that stimulated endogenous (one's own) endorphin production. Then, a further nudge on this topic showed up about a month ago. I was asked to consider writing the foreword to a book called The Devil in the Milk, written by agribusiness professor and farm-management consultant Keith Woodford. In this book Dr. Woodford lays out the theory that there is a devil in some of our milk, and this is something we need to come to grips with. Here is a brief synopsis of the main thesis of his book.


Milk consists of three parts: 1) fat or cream, 2) whey, and 3) milk solids. For this story we are only concerned about the milk solid part, as the fat and whey don't have this "devil." The milk solid part is composed of many different proteins and sugars such as lactose. It is the protein part of the solid we're interested in. One of these proteins is called casein, of which there are many different types, but the one casein we are interested is the predominant protein called beta-casein.


As you may or may not know, all proteins are long chains of amino acids that have many "branches" coming off different parts of the main chain. Beta casein is a 229 chain of amino acids with a proline at number 67; at least, the proline is there in "old- fashioned" cows. These cows with proline at number 67 are called A2 cows and are the older breeds of cows (e.g. Jerseys, Asian, and African cows). Some five thousand years ago, a mutation occurred in this proline amino acid, converting it to histidine. Cows that have this mutated beta casein are called A1 cows, and include breeds like Holstein.


The side chain that comes off this amino acid is called BCM 7. BCM 7 is a small protein (called a peptide) that is a very powerful opiate and has some undesirable effects on animals and humans. What's important here is that proline has a strong bond to BCM 7 which helps keep it from getting into the milk, so that essentially no BCM 7 is found in the urine, blood, or GI tract of old-fashioned A2 cows. On the other hand, histidine, the mutated protein, only weakly holds on to BCM 7, so it is liberated in the GI tract of animals and humans who drink A1 cow milk, and it is found in significant quantity in the blood and urine of these animals.

This opiate BCM 7 has been shown in the research outlined in the book to cause neurological impairment in animals and people exposed to it, especially autistic and schizophrenic changes. BCM 7 interferes with the immune response, and injecting BCM 7 in animal models has been shown to provoke Type 1 diabetes. Dr. Woodford presents research showing a direct correlation between a population's exposure to A1 cow's milk and incidence of auto-immune disease, heart disease (BCM 7 has a pro-inflammatory effect on the blood vessels), type 1 diabetes, autism, and schizophrenia. What really caught my eye is that BCM 7 selectively binds to the epithelial cells in the mucus membranes (i.e., the nose) and stimulates mucus secretion.


For reasons which are unclear historically, once this mutation occurred many thousand years ago, the A1 beta casein gene spread rapidly in many countries in the western world. Some have speculated that the reason for this wide spread of A1 cows is that the calves drinking A1 cows milk and exposed to the opiate BCM7 are more docile than their traditional brethren (in effect, they were stoned). This is only speculation, of course. But what is true is that basically all American dairy cows have this mutated beta-casein and are predominantly A1 cows.
The amazing thing for me is that all these years Sally was right: it's not the fat, it's not the whey, and it's not raw milk. Consider French cheese:  mostly due to culinary snobbery, the French never accepted these A1 breeds of cow, claiming they have lousy milk. Voila, they have good milk and cheese. Our issue in America is that we have the wrong cows. When you take A1 cow milk away and stimulate our own endorphins instead of the toxic opiate of BCM 7, some amazing health benefits ensue.


So what are we all to do with this? Does this mean no one should drink US raw cow's milk? One saving grace, as expressed in The Devil in the Milk, is that the absorption of BCM 7 is much less in people with a healthy GI tract. This also parallels the ideas of GAPS theory which talks a lot about this. BCM 7 is also not found in goat's or sheep's milk, so these types of milk might be better tolerated.

One final point: we now have one more thing to put on our activism to-do list. Dr. Woodford explains that it is fairly straightforward to switch a herd to become an all A2 herd. No genetic engineering is needed, no fancy tests, just one simple test of the beta-casein, and it can be done. Hopefully, when this becomes widespread we will end up with a truly safe and healthy milk supply. Then maybe I should just change my name.

Good New for Good Fats

If you have been keeping up with the nutrition news, you have heard how important Omega-3 oil is for us. In fact, with all the grains we eat, we don't get nearly enough Omega-3s. That creates all kinds of health issues.

Now, however, new research seems to show that fish oils (rich in Omega-3) may actually help reduce tumors. Researchers from Egypt and Britain have published an article in Cell Division magazine which indicates they have evidence to support that theory. This information adds to the research here in the United States.

In March, U.S. researchers showed that a diet high in omega 3 fatty acids -- the kind found in fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring and sardines -- protected against advanced prostate cancer even in men more at risk from the disease. The fatty acids, also found in foods such as walnuts and leafy greens, have been shown to provide an anti-inflammatory effect and have been linked to a lower risk of heart disease.

And the best part of all is that Omega-3 fatty acids (essential fatty acids) are an integral part of the Life Energy Pyramid©. Good news for those of you who know they can be their own raw food doctors!

Lowers Risk of Heart Attack

The journal Obstetrics and Gynaecology reports that breastfeeding is a 'win-win' proposition. We know it's good for babies but now we find - it's good for moms, too. 

A University of Pittsburgh study says mom lowers her risk of heart attack, heart disease and stroke by breastfeeding. In fact, even breastfeeding for at least a month may cut the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

Again, we discover that Mother Nature still knows best...inspite of what people in laboratories all over the world think.

Hello Dr. Carey,  

Thank you for all the work that you do.  I few months ago I ordered the Home Study Program and have enjoyed learning more about eating raw. The information inspires me.  I have enjoyed eating mostly raw for many years and am so grateful for all the benefits of doing so. 

I recently found out that a very good friend of mine has been diagnosed with lymphoma.  He is eating more and more raw foods now.  I have a few questions.  Do you think that it is possible to cure oneself of this disease by eating raw foods?  Do you have any specific advise for someone who is opting to go this course and heal himself by diet?  Have you heard any testimonials that have done that (specifically with this kind of cancer)?  I would greatly appreciate any information that you can share with me.  I hope you are well. Take care.    
 
Thank you very much for your time.

When I was Director at Creative Health I saw all forms of cancer respond wonderfully to Dr. Wigmore’s Raw Living Foods. You can find some good advice at http://rawdoctors.com/past-articles/ask-dr-flora.html and at chiDiet.net.

I’ll pass along a copy of your letter to Dr. Flora and we’ll see what she has in her treasure-trove of experience.

I will say this: With most forms of cancers the body needs a 100% raw diet to heal itself.

He’s on the right track. Your support and encouragement will help a Lot.

Jim Carey

Dawn: Lymphoma is literally a sign of bad blood: toxic lymph, toxic blood. The lymph is supposed to clean up our blood stream contents, and when we are so toxic that the lymph is cancerous, blended raw foods, with an electric current, is the way of choice for people who want the fastest, surest cure - not simply a bandaid drug or operation to stop a symptom.

Am reading now how dangerous the new chocolate candy is that won't melt in your hands or heart, liver, fingers or toes! Anything so highly processed that the Gulf soldiers won't have to end up with messy fingers is like plastic in one's body.

One loses all feeling in one's fingers and toes, feet swell up and the heart gives up.

Here's the article: http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/stories/2007/1912320.htm

Jim, I am so impressed with how you have developed your blog and site. Keep up the good work.

I have a thought after listening to your video twice: diabetes is not caused from eating too much fruit: that type of sugar is not ever involved in the cause nor in the worsening of the symptoms - it's dairy that causes it, and granulated sugar that will cause the acid burning of the kidneys.

Dairy's protein damages us in so many ways and diabetes is just one.


Peace and love be with you

Renata on Raw

Do you like being in your kitchen and preparing food? I mean do you really like to be in your kitchen?

For me, it is very important to be surrounded by colors, light and utensils I like to handle. After all, I want to prepare delicious food, and the main ingredients besides organic produce (if possible) is lots of love. That means my spirit must be in a good mood in order to transfer love into the food.

I don't want to sound too esoteric about this rather intangible ingredient "love." By now many of us have heard about vibrations. I am sure you have been in a situation where somebody emanated less than loving vibrations towards you. Not a pleasant spot to be, wouldn't you agree?

However, if you are in the presence of lovebirds, the love they radiate seems to be so catching. And it is actually catching. We feel touched by love. Pets feel the love and even plants, as studies have shown (Secret Life of Plants). Can you imagine how your body and the people you delight with your culinary creations will change if they continuously are exposed to this loving vibration via food?

I need to be in a loving space, mentally and physically, in order to prepare food. That means my environment reflects my taste in dishes, in silverware and yes, even the strainers. Anything I handle on a daily basis must be zangy, zingy and zippy. Purple salad utensils, green plates, various colorful dishes, little cheerful containers for leftovers. You get the idea.

You must have fun in the kitchen, especially when transitioning. It is a new chapter in your life. Time to let go of the old (Goodwill stores are just around the corner)... which holds a lot of memories and might keep you in old patterns.

Fun, sunny dishes and gadgets must not be expensive. Any "dollar store" has great kitchenware for a very reasonable price. Pick your favorite colors and play.

Practicality is another ingredient in the raw kitchen. You might want to cover your stove with a big cutting board (cut the electricity/gas to prevent accidents) which gives you more counter space. Leave blender and food processor close by. Rearrange your fridge for convenient handling of the various foods such as top shelf for sprouts, middle shelf for leftovers, get one or two big extra containers for the kale and collards, wash them before storage. I think you are catching on...

Have fun and enjoy!

The 'Sweet Tooth' and Your Waistline

Johns Hopkins has looked and they think that sugary drinks are worse for you than sugar foods. They say the consumption of liquid calories is a huge issue in this country. In fact, they believe they can track the use of sugary drinks with the rise of obesity. 

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports that something must be done about the problem. While many of us will admit that eating a donut is a step on the wild side, we aren't so quick to see the same problem with sweet drinks. Diet drinks, so called fruit drinks, energy drinks and more are easy ways we fool ourselves into thinking we are not sugar junkies at heart. And don't even start me on those phony 'sugars.'

Here is a bottom line, take-it-home truth. Taking in processed sugar is one of the quickest ways to disease and death. Sugar changes chemistry. It fattens, hardens, inflames and just generally makes you older and sicker faster than just about anything else. 

If you have a 'sweet tooth' is tells me you need more protein in your diet. If you're a carb addict, you are a sugar addict. High quality proteins and lots and lots of raw, organic living foods will give you what you need. You can be your own rawfood doctor!

Hormones are strengthened, increased, by eating foods that are of animal origin, especially dairy and eggs because they are both full of reproductive cells. If one just stops putting eggs and dairy into one's body, then the hormones will naturally decrease.

Our body makes all of the hormones we need. We don't need to use perfumes that stimulate sex hormones, or eat foods that stimulate hormones. When the right person is with us, we will 'turn on' naturally.  All I would have to do would be to eat something with eggs in it or dairy and my body odor would change into something that would make me smell 'sexy' and men would be attracted to what I radiate.

Because of my situation and the fact that I have taken a vow of celibacy and non-violence to focus on service to others, I do not want to attract others sexually, only in an agape (non-sexually loving) sense, so that the wives of men who come to me for direction with heart or prostate problems will not be afraid of me, and so that the men will not see me as a possible conquest.

This way, the energy is clear. We are attracted to people not only because of the way they look, but because of the way they smell. Female monkeys given birth control pills were not sexually attractive to the male monkeys and caused them to be so frustrated that they males began to mount other males (couldis there be a possible human correlation there somewhere explaining the amazing increase in homosexuality since the advent of the widespread use of birth control pills?)

Wheatgrass juice is a superfood and super'bug'killer. It will destroy viruses and make good rich blood within minutes. There are at least 150 uses for wheatgrass juice and again, it's not so much what we add to our diet, it's what we take away forever. It's important to take dairy away forever. What is it that the laboratories use to grow their viruses in in the petri dishes? albumen from eggs and dairy.

Matt Monarch has written a couple of books on raw foods that should be looked at. One of the only things he has neglected is the soaking of feet in hot non-chlorinated non-oily water (and forget putting oil on your feet afterward) for 20 minutes when one is going through an elimination, and after rubbing all of the dead skin off the feet (toes, ankles, and heels), if one pushes down on the 1st joint from the base, this helps to increase circulation.

When one gets to the point that there is an audible pop when they do this, this indicates, according to many orientals, that one is 'grounded' (little 'home' toe), emotionally clear (4th water toe), peaceful (middle fire toe), lungs and sinuses clear (2nd air toe), and spiritually balanced (big 'ether' toe).

Staying in a condition of being slightly overheated, sweating, is also going to not only help you be healthy, but is important to keep your hormones under control, as well as your weight and cholesterol.

Please read Dr. Jane Plant's books, one of which is entitled something like the No Dairy Anti-Breast Cancer Diet which shows how she cured her breast cancer by cutting out dairy, the worst of the hormone disrupters we can put in our bodies.


Peace and love be with you

The holidays are over, your resolutions are already falling by the wayside, and you're starting to settle back into the same rut you were in last year. Sigh...

Why? No, it's not because you don't have any willpower.

There are two reasons: homeostasis and toxicity.

Homeostasis is the body's natural tendency to want to continue to do what it's been doing. The body doesn't know that something is unhealthy - all it knows is that it's surviving with the current chemical balance. Thus, it's tissue's nature to resist change. This is a natural survival mechanism of your body.

Toxicity is the cause of all dis-ease. When we put toxins into the body faster than they can be processed out, the body stores the toxins in fat cells, to protect us. Accumulate enough toxins in your fat cells and you'll begin developing health challenges.

Toxicity is why I was unable to lose weight before I went on Dr. Ann's program. My body was highly toxic,  and was storing the toxins in my fat cells to protect me. My vegetarian diet was still non-organic, processed foods, so my body never got a chance to heal itself.

Once I went on a regime of raw, living, organic, uncooked foods my body was able to process those toxins and eliminate them. I not only lost 30 lbs. in 30 days, my arthritus disappeared, my mental processes became sharper, I had more energy and I was happier - all of the time. [Legal: see the "typical benefits" statement]

Dr. Flora van Orden III has a PhD in nutrition, was Dr. Ann Wigmore's personal assistant for 22+ years, traveled the world with Dr. Ann, and has been a Wigmore Practitioner for 40 years.

Flora has graciously agreed to run a 21-day Wigmore-based Detoxification and Rejuvenation program for us. This program is designed to get us back on track to a healthy, non-toxic lifestyle.

The program starts on Monday, March 1st, and will be internet-based. That is, we'll email you the plans, goals and recipes for each day, and coaching and interaction will be done though comments on RawLife.org.

This program is free! Sign up here: http://rawlife.org/detox/an-invitation.htm

Flora and I will endeavor to answer all of your questions in a timely manner.

Please, come join us! I promise we'll make it fun!

Last year I decided to "Go Green" with the Dr. Ann Wigmore Raw Living Foods® Lifestyle Study Program. So I set up an entirely new website, RawLife.org.

I converted all of the books, CDs and DVDs to digital, online delivery content. It was quite a project; there's about 60 hours of video, several online manuals and two Dr. Ann Wigmore audio books.

The content is measured in Terabytes (TB). One TB = 1,000 gigabytes, or several times the size of an average hard disk drive.

It was so big, in fact, that I had to buy a hosting service to have enough storage, not to mention the bandwidth required to deliver that much video to hundreds of people simultaneously. So last year I bought a premium hosting service on the Internet Backbone as part of this project (translation: it's fast).

By August RawLife.org was up and running. It was instantly popular - real popular. What people appreciate the most is how well-organized it is, and how easy it is to find the exact material you're looking for with the search feature. Check it out at RawLife.org.

It was so popular, in fact, that I thought we could discontinue the physical DVDs, CDs and books of the traditional Home Study Program. So when we ran out last month, I didn't reorder.

THAT WAS A BIG MISTAKE!

I'd misjudged what you folks want. I know you're a high-tech audience. I've done surveys of the newsletter readers and Home Study Students, and I know your market demographics. The vast majority of you have no problem downloading and viewing streaming video.

What you don't want to do, however, is replace your DVDs and TVs with a computer screen.

Boy, did I get the calls and emails. Yes, you're right - it IS easier and more convenient to pop a DVD into the player in any room of the house, and to jump to a particular place in the video when you've seen it before.

Now, mark my words, in a couple more years your computer is going to replace your TV for entertainment and news.

But you guys are right - that day isn't here yet.

So I've reordered the Home Study Program on DVD.

As a "green compromise" I've put all of the handbooks, manuals and recipe books on CD so they're easily transferred to your iPod, Kindle or whatever, and you can quickly search for the specific item you're looking for.

Thus, the Dr. Ann Wigmore Raw Living Foods® Lifestyle Home Study Program is available on DVD again. Buy it all at once and you'll have something like 47 DVDs and over a dozen CDs in your instant raw living foods library. That's six months to two years of educational and motivational material, and a great way to share with others or teach raw living food classes.

I've also split it up into segments so that you can acquire it over time, and I've added monthly payment options, too.

You'll find it where it's been for the last seven years, at chiDiet.com.

If you have any questions please contact me.

Thanks!

Yours in Great Health,

Jim Carey

Dear Dr. Carey,

We just received your package yesterday in the mail.  Everything seems to be in good condition.

The boys had fun helping me sort everything and check it off against the checklist online.

We felt like children in a candy store, God's "candy" that is!  Not only were we able to check off everything, but found even more extras!

I told a friend of mine that this will be our Health and Nutrition curriculum for the next 10 years!

The Super Quick Start Guide is extremely helpful!  Like you said, this is A LOT of information and it looks very overwhelming at first.

It is hard to stick to the schedule you laid out, I want to look at and read everything at once, but I know it will be worth it!  :-)

Right now, I am starting to read Why Suffer? How I Overcame Illness & Pain Naturally.

Thank you, once again, Dr. Carey, for the program!

God bless,

Lisa Dams

I’m on exactly the same wavelength, Flora. The spiritual aspect(s) of Dr. Ann’s teachings are what I hope to reach people with.

I don’t speak until Saturday afternoon [at Raw Spirit Fest] so we’ll have a chance to chat before then.

James

Thank you for your input. I didn't realize that you were going to be a speaker?

I remember everything we spoke about when we were walking. Even then you were using your energy to focus quietly on the tasks at hand and were concentrating yourself on building understanding and empathy.

I remember the fun of going to get the tree branches to use at the sauna and showing people how to use them to stimulate their skin as they do in Norway, Sweden, Finland and other nordic places. I have so many happy memories of that place [Creative Health Institute], and especially the ecstatic faces of the men and women who followed me outside, got grounded by taking their shoes off and planting their feet on Mother Earth while they were eating the Energy Soup that I had made for them, and who had felt the incredible force of the electrical energy coming up from the soles of their feet through their heads.

I would like to say something to that effect or even better, maybe you can, about how we really get connected. It's not by eating food that although is organic and local has been disconnected by various methods (wrapped in plastic, touched by people who do not have love and joy in their hearts, not sprouted with the use of the copper wire running underneath the ceramic bowl like Dr. Lisle is teaching now to balance Earth/Moon and Sun energies.)

I remember being on the 11th floor of a huge apartment building in Alexandria that belonged to a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and fixing Energy Soup for one of the Chief's Aides, who was suffering from AIDS (and who got clear with the Wigmore program). I took him protesting the separation down the stairs - "What will the security guards and the other residents think?" he was mumbling. We sat on a log in the front and as he started eating his food, I showed him how to move his hands from his feet upward and all of a sudden he got this smile and then a glow on his face as he 'got it'. It was at that moment that he really plugged into the program, and it was because he really felt the electricity of this food.

This is a tangible form of God's love.


Peace and love be with you,

Flora

I remember one time on the road, years ago when I was a vegan, not a raw food person, I ate some cooked string beans at a truck stop, and got botulism poisoning. 

I threw up continuously for a day or so and nearly crawled to a grocery store where I bought some watermelon and greens and that fixed me up.

I am a 54 year old female. I have been 100% raw for 18 months and a vegan for 10 years. My eye sight is getting worse instead of better.

This is normal, Mary. The fat and mucus from floured-breads, pasta, dairy (yes, some pseudo-vegans eat dairy because they don't read the labels and use fake cheeses with the most awful dairy ingredient that humans can eat that causes the major diseases of affluence: casein (casomorphine - an addictive drug that is naturally occurring in the products)  go figure! from all over your body is being 'melted' literally, and is pouring north to your head through your lymphatic system. Everything runs north. A person dies from the feet first. So, as you heal, your eyes and ears clog up, your memory fades, you become unstable physically and emotionally if you are not doing your enemas and cleaning that gunk out before you are awake 2 hours every morning.

Fresh home-ripened pineapple juice, chugalugged first thing in the am on an empty stomach, and immediately rubbing the pulp on your head and massaging it into your hair (and even allowing some of it to get on your closed eyelids for 5 minutes only), will begin to dissolve the years of accumulated fats and oils that are in your precious head.

I find myself in a position on Maui where being organic is quite expensive, and it's sometimes a tough call to make.

An organic, locally-grown papaya is $6.89 here in Kihei; non-organic is $1.29.

Granted, the organic one tastes ten times better than the non-organic, but still, $7 for a papaya?

At the local farmer's market I'm getting the kama'aina (local's) discount, and I can get locally-grown papaya for $1.50, but it's not organic.

What to do, what to do? An entire meal at the greasy burger place is only $3.

At times like these I ask myself, what is my health worth?

Then, despite the cost, I buy the deluxe, ripe, locally-grown organic papaya, take it home and have a feast.

I'm worth it.

If I have to compromise I'll ride my bike instead of drive, but I'm not compromising on my diet.

- Being Raw when possible, organic when practical, and praying over the rest.

You need to sweat at least twice a day to keep your pores open. One bite of processed grain or spoon of oil blocks your elimination of toxins at least 3 days. If I, in this 95 degree F. temp., ate one little fig cookie with oat crust, or soy ice cream with oil in it, I would be having terrible night sweats and would not be able to be comfortable in the day at all, with sweat running down my back, even though I changed my clothes multiple times a day.

If people only knew the terrible damage one little bite of clarified oil or processed grain does to the endothelial lining of the heart.


Peace and love be with you
