Over the last seven years I’ve published literally DOZENS of raw food testimonials and success stories. However, due to the new U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulations, in just a few days I’ll be pulling those testimonials and success stories off my web site.

This is my explanation of why I’m doing so…

I’ve published one success story after another that showed regular people overcoming health challenges with Dr. Ann Wigmore’s Raw Living Foods Lifestyle.

I kept blogging solid, real-life information from people in all walks of life, from all around the world, with all sorts of great results.

This all happened by accident – every week, almost every day, people mail and email me letters and testimonials about how a raw food diet has changed their life. Many just do it in thanks, and most want to share their success with the rest of the world.

It’s incredibly gratifying to have people come up to you and tell you how you helped them recover from a health challenge, to turn their lives around, or the life of a loved one… that you changed their lives… it’s powerful stuff. It was downright amazing for me.

Then, later, I would get letters about how one person’s success story inspired another, and how much a particular story helped them along the path to better health.

To think that I had helped so many people with this information… well, that’s why I’m so passionate and why I’m always so excited to teach about Dr. Wigmore and her lifestyle.

I love making that kind of impact on people.

Unfortunately, the party is coming to a close – which is why this is your last chance to share in these success stories…

On December 1st, 2009 the FTC is changing the rules about testimonials… and I’ve got a feeling that they’ll view these success stories as testimonials.

In the past I was able to publish success stories with the disclaimer that “results may not be not typical,”  but according to the new FTC rules, that disclaimer will no longer do.

In order to keep publishing success stories and testimonials I will need to state what results ARE typical.

Unfortunately, the FTC has yet to define how I’m supposed to measure or declare what’s typical… and I’m not willing to be a test case.

That means I’ve been forced into a corner… I can’t see any other course of action other than pulling down all success stories and testimonials.

So come December 1st they will all be going away.

In the meantime, we have approximately a week as I write this. During that time I encourage you to print and save all the success stories and testimonials that interest you.

Yours in Great Health,

Jim Carey

P.S. You can always check YouTube and Google for success stories. I’m just not allowed to use them since I can’t define “typical” results.

    AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaagggghhhh! So sorry to hear of this change, Jim. You have done such a wonderful job. So many people have written to me, as well, after you published MY testimonial!

    Do we call this progress?

    Blessings or all you do to spread the great lessons of Ann Wigmore.

    Ricki
