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!

Rawsomely Yours,

Jim Carey

Since many people have been asking me what’s the best way to make a green smoothie, I decided to post a great video by my dear friend Victoria Boutenko. She shows you how to make an amazingly healthy and nutritious green smoothie.

Enjoy

Recently I spent 30 minutes on the phone talking to a friend of mine who was interested in the raw food diet and something magical happened. I hadn’t spoken to him in quite some time, and while my health was getting better, his health was deteriorating. So after giving him the inside scoop of the diet, he came back at me with a series of concerns…

• How do I get protein in my diet?
• It’s too expensive!
• I can’t cook my food?
• I can only eat raw foods?

Everything that he heard and that most likely you have heard IS ALL WRONG! These could not be farther from the truth, so I decided to make a quick video for you “dispelling” the raw food myths. Take a look at this video and let me know what you think. I’d love to hear your feedback.

This message today is slightly hard for me to write.

I can’t BELIEVE all the highs and lows from the past two days.

I’m going to explain what happened, and then why I’m truly sorry…

First…

The orders that came through were OVERWHELMING. I’d like to thank everyone who ordered from the bottom of my heart.

Words cannot articulate how much your life is going to change for the better. And I’m truly honored to be able to be a part of that.

In fact, we got so many orders that our server was SHUT DOWN.

Who would’ve thought? We actually had TOO MUCH TRAFFIC to the website and our website host thought we were doing something shady.

I can’t believe it!

That’s my first apology. I’m really sorry for those of you who had technical difficulties. We finally got everything fixed – but after the site was shut down for four hours.

I know some of you tried to order, because we got an influx of customer support emails. I’m really, really sorry for that.

I’d also really like to thank you guys for getting “me”. I acted really out of character, and I’m honestly a little ashamed of myself.

You know when you get really excited about something that’s important to you, but maybe not as important to other people?

Well… I think I did that.

See, I get so PASSIONATE about Dr. Ann’s teachings. I’ve seen it help so many people… and so when I know I have an audience, I’ll just keep going on and on.

But I was reflecting back, and I thought that maybe I came off a little too strong.

The last thing I ever wanted to do was come across as a “sleazy salesman” or anything like that.

It’s just hard when you’re so excited about something.

I’m glad that you guys saw through it – as evidenced by all those orders – but I still wanted to make sure I made that apology.

And as a thank you, as well as an apology to everyone who tried to order but the site was shut down, I’m going to do something special.

See, I had another product idea for down the road. It was going to be a high priced monthly raw recipe meal plan. But I feel like the right thing to do, right now, is to give it away. Everyone who already ordered will automatically get this. And the next 300 people (I say 300 because that’s how many copies we have left) will also get access to it.

Since it’s something we’ve been working on we don’t have it complete as of yet, but at the end of the month you’ll get the first monthly meal plan edition.

Please don’t let the fact that this is free devalue it at all. It’s worth a LOT. I just really feel like the right thing to do is to give it away.

And again – I REALLY don’t want to sound like a slimy salesman… but if you’re interested, please make sure to order right away. We do only have 300 copies left (who would’ve thought so many people would have purchased!?).

http://www.ChiDiet.com

On Monday I’ll share some stories with you from people who already purchased. I’ve been getting so many “I’m so excited!” emails, and they’re truly invigorating.

But anyway, thank you again. For your orders, for your trust, and for reading this long email.

To your health,

Jim

That’s what the web host company said to me.

Turns out, that when you have thousands of people visiting your website at one time, the servers take a hit and this causes it to well… basically crash.

This “crash” held down the website for about 4 hours today. Four long hours grueling hours. Waiting and pulling your hair out really don’t go together…

Anyhow, the site is back up and running like a champ!

I want to apologize to everyone who tried to order the course. It’s been a wild ride these last 2 days and a response that I never EVER expected. I know a lot of people were waiting to get their copy of the course and I can assure you that you order will be processed as fast as possible.

Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow and I have some special *videos* to give you early in the week.

See you soon,

Jim

I know it’s been a while since I gave you some really great content on the blog and I apologize, but these past 2 weeks I’ve been busier than I’ve been in the last 2 years.

Ever since we sold the last 22 copies of the Raw Food Home Study Course, my phone and email have exploded! The question everyone asks me is, “Why have you decided to stop selling the course?”

Good question.

Frankly, it’s been driving me crazy! It’s been more work than I’ve ever imagined, especially over the last 2 months. People from all over the world have been ordering the course, which incidentally means that I have to work harder.

You probably don’t know this, but creating each course is *a lot* of work. I have to burn and label all the DVD’s, print and assemble each 350 page success guide, put each DVD in each jewel case, package each order, and then ship each package to each customer…… and I get to do it all by myself!

All joking aside, I’m getting older and I really want to enjoy life as I turn 102 this year. So I was going to move on to other things, but the overwhelming feedback I’ve received has made me reconsider.

That was a joke by the way… I’m way younger than that.

The real reason I’ve decided to stop offering the course is because…

——————————
I QUIT!
——————————

That’s right. I quit making the DVD’s, quit printing the books, and quit packaging each Home Study Course by hand. I’ve passed it along to another company. A company that does this for a living. (Actually, for about 15 years now).

I’ve got some good news and bad news.

——————————
THE BAD NEWS
——————————

Those last 22 copies are gone. Gone forever.

——————————
THE GREAT NEWS
——————————

These last 3 weeks I’ve been editing videos, rewriting the success guide, and completely overhauling the Home Study Course. I don’t mean to toot my own horn here, but I must say…

This is the best Raw Food Home Study Course I have ever produced. Not only have I updated the material, I’ve had the DVD-R disks converted to true DVDs! (True DVDs will work on every DVD player.)

I can’t go into the full details here, but we will be releasing this really soon. I don’t have an date, but in the meantime I’m going to be sending you some really great videos on how to truly live a fantastic life with raw foods. So here’s to quiting

Well, quitting the “hard work.”

Chat soon,

Jim

P.S. In the next couple of days, I’ll be sending you a great free video called “Dispelling The Common Myths About The Raw Food Diet.”
