Weight Loss at Creative Health Institute
- by Donald O. Haughey, founder of Creative Health
Institute
Those who devote their lives to teaching a whole life
turnaround, after having experienced it in their own lives, live with stable
body weight and reliable life energy that supports their very active
lifestyles.
When asked about weight loss I say that my old sick body
was 55 lbs overweight and my new year-round weight, after adopting the
life-saving lifestyle of the Wigmore Diet, has been constant for over 30 years
now. Now my motto is "stay light and travel fast." Admittedly, at 78
I don't travel so fast anymore, but the extra years I've lived make up for it
-- especially since I was told, at 43, to "get my affairs in order because
my time was short." Quite believable, because my brittle asthmatic
condition had threatened my life three times in as many months.
Hiawatha Cromer came here to avoid an early death that
seemed imminent. Her desire was to work in the kitchen, stay active and learn
this new way of eating first-hand. She had to have a kitchen stool to sit on at
work because her knees would not support her. Her overweight condition proved
to be 67 lbs more than her rejuvenated body is now comfortable with. Hiawatha
now runs a Wellness Center associated with her church, teaching the Wigmore
Diet, spends time at Creative Health Institute, and travels.
Victoria Boutenko's family of four spent many months at
Creative Health Institute and went on to write the book "Raw Family,”
and several others (http://www.rawfamily.com). This book has
opened the door to a proactive life for all of them, and they now travel North
America teaching reversal from degenerative diseases by the Wigmore Diet. The
remarkable thing to note is that all four Boutenkos had different life
threatening diseases and all four are now remarkably healthy because they
turned to the Living Foods detoxification rejuvenation program.
Next, we share the story of Dominic Knipfing who went
from 255 down to his very healthy 175 weight level. The Creative Health
Institute lifestyle now makes up his. Eat right and experience optimal health
and weight.
The 28 year story repeats itself wherever people live and
practice Dr. Ann Wigmore's teachings.
[Don's now 80 years old, and lives on the 4th floor of
his restored 1832 Grist Mill pictured at right. He still goes up and down those
the steps all day long - no elevator. In winter he feeds the wood fires, and
supervises the waterwheel-powered generators used to warm the building by
himself.]

Raw Living Foods Lifestyle - Home Study and
Certification
Surrounded, as we are, with increasing toxicity in our
food and environment, eating a pure and healthy diet is more important than
ever. That's why the Raw Living Foods Movement is growing so fast.
There's a lot more to being a Raw Fooder than eating
fruits and veggies. Now you can learn about the Raw Living Foods Lifestyle in
the comfort and convenience of your own home. Learn how to detox your body,
what to eat, why to eat it, and how to prepare yummy
raw food meals that leave you feeling full and satisfied. The Home Study
version of the Dr. Ann Wigmore Raw Living Foods Lifestyle includes over 45
hours of video instruction, and a comprehensive manual.
The Raw Living Foods Lifestyle has been taught by a
series of visionaries in the past century. Dr. Ann Wigmore used it to
cure herself of colon cancer in the 1950's, and then taught it for decades at
Hippocrates Institute in Boston and Creative Health Institute in
Michigan, teaching others to heal themselves naturally.
If you can't get into a residential program, then the
home study program is for you. There's so much material in the home study
program - 15 lessons, 30+ videos, 350+ page handbook - that you'd have to spend
at least a month at a place like Creative Health to learn as much.
The First Lesson is Free - Examine the
program in your home for 30 days. Even if you don't elect to continue your
subscription, the first lesson is still yours to keep.

Paw Paw
Picking and Wild Edible Plants
A Spectacular Ending to a Wonderful Season at Creative
Health Institute
By Sarah Thompson
For years I've been coming to the Creative Health
Institute (18, to be exact), and with each passing season the small but potent
wheatgrass institute impresses me more and more. What is it in Hodunk that
affects me so deeply that I would rather spend my summer laboring in our
organic garden than sitting on the beach at Cancun? Is it the good fellowship I
have with my fellow raw fooders, a chance to mingle with like-minded people? Or
do I simply enjoy watching guest after guest go through this remarkable process
detoxification and rejuvenation, satisfied that I've helped empower another
human being with this sacred knowledge? Or, could it be more basic than that?
Is it the food, and the way it makes me feel that draws me back? More
specifically, has my physiology adapted over the years to the local
plants?
For years, I've also been eating the wild edibles here at
Hodunk. I've actually dubbed Hodunk the "Wild Edible Capital of the
World" because I've never seen a wider variety of them anywhere else.
Plants such as Lambsquarter, Parslane, Queen Anne's Lace, Stinging Nettles,
Plantain and Burdoch Root, to name just a few, grow abundantly on our grounds.
This year alone I've consumed at least fifty young sweet red clover flowers. I
always knew red clover as a blood cleanser with anti-cancer properties, but
this year I learned that it's also a powerful hormone balancer. No wonder I
feel so good! (Thank you, Dr. Ann!)
And everyone should be growing Comfrey, especially if
you're a vegetarian. Did you know that Comfrey is high in plant protein and as
one of the only plants that draws B12 from the soil? It also contains the
compound allantoin, a cell-proliferant, which means it aids both plant and
animal cells in creating new cells rapidly. Taken internally it helps to build
cells, especially bone; used externally it makes a powerful poultice.
Personally, I enjoy eating the roots, especially on a crisp fall day like the
kind are having now. Which brings me to the Paw Paw.
As fall begins to approach winter, one by one, all of the
wonderful plants that I've nibbled upon all summer are beginning to lie down
and go to sleep. Every day I find it more and more challenging to forage. This
afternoon Donald Haughey, our wonderful founder, decided to take us to a
special grove of trees to forage for the elusive Paw Paw fruit.
Now, the best thing about foraging for Paw Paw is that
you get to say "Paw Paw." The Paw Paw is a small green fruit shaped
like a kidney. The tree is thin, almost out-of-place amongst the maple and oak.
Resembling a more tropical plant, it's known as the "Indiana or Michigan
banana," growing mainly in Eastern America. The early spring twigs are
being studied for a potent anti-tumeral agent known as Annonaceous Acetogenins.
The fruit, however, is mild and sweet, and harvesting them with my friends was
a treat I'll not soon forget.
The trees were glowing with the brilliant colors of fall,
casting a light yellowish-green luminous quality around us. At first we
suspected we were too late, but upon closer inspection we found enough fruit to
fill our buckets. By simply shaking the trees, the fruit fell easily to the
ground. We harvested enough fruit so that our guests and staff can enjoy the
nutritious fruit for weeks to come.
Nature is remarkable, especially if you have the
opportunity to follow its natural rhythm. Here nature has provided us with
fruit at the tail-end of the season that is high in the antioxidants vitamins A
and C, boosting our immune systems so that we can enter into the winter months
fortified.
My challenge for you is to find the wild plants in your
area that are edible. Never eat anything you can't identify, so start out with
something simple like dandelion. You'll be surprised at how good you'll feel
after juicing the plant with carrots, or blending it (including a flower), with
apple and avocado.
Don't forget: if you ever find yourself in the middle of
a Paw Paw grove, shake down a few for the deer. They always appreciate a
helping hand!

CONGRESS PONDERS LEGISLATION REQUIRING ID CHIPS IN
ALL U.S. FARM ANIMALS
Congress is debating a controversial program called the National Animal
Identification System (NAIS). The system would require tagging or implanting
all farm animals with radio frequency devices and registering those animals
with a federal government tracking system. The plan would require every
owner of even a single livestock animal to register their home with a national
tracking system, including Global Positing Coordinates (for satellite tracking)
and implant or tag every animal with a radio frequency device (RFID).
Large-scale livestock producers say NAIS would help them control an outbreak of
disease by allowing individual animals to be tracked to their origins.
Small-scale farmers say the registration fees, RFID expenses and administrative
bureaucracy of the system would drive them out of business. OCA supports the
principle of being able to track animal diseases back to the source in order to
protect public and animal health, but any national program needs to be designed
so as to not harm small farmers and must insure the privacy of farmers and
animal owners. Take action:

(CNN) An estimated two of every three American adults,
and more than one in six children and adolescents are considered overweight or
obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Being
overweight increases the risk for diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart
diseases, stroke, sleep apnea, respiratory problems and some cancers. Being
obese poses the greatest health risks. A study released last year by the
National Institutes of Health suggests average life expectancy could decline
by nearly five years if the rising rates of obesity cannot be curbed:

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of
Public Health measured levels of an antibacterial hand soap ingredient,
triclocarban, as it passed through a wastewater treatment facility. They
determined that approximately 75 percent of the ingredient washed down the
drain by consumers persists during wastewater treatment and accumulates in
municipal sludge, which later is used as fertilizer for crops. Their
findings are presented in a study appearing in the online and print editions of
the journal Environmental Science & Technology. :

Least Contaminated Produce
Last month we ran a list
(If You DO Eat
Non-Organic Foods - The Most Pesticide-Contaminated Foods) of the most
contaminated fruits and veggies. Now we have the good news; here's a list of
the least contaminated produce for those times that you can't find
Organic.
Veggies, listed in order of purity:
Sweet corn
Avocado
Cauliflower
Asparagus
Onions
Peas
Broccoli
The least contaminated fruits are:
Pineapple
Mango
Banana
Kiwi
Papaya
Very few mangoes and pineapple have pesticide residues
on them, and when they do they usually contain only one type. Bananas often
contain pesticide residues, but rarely multiple ones.
The best way to avoid contamination is to consume Organic
foods. But when that isn't possible, then select foods that have the least
pesticides on them.
You can buy a non-toxic cleaners for washing produce from
most health food stores and some supermarkets. Use this to wash your
non-Organic fruits and veggies.
Here is the list of most contaminated foods:

Other
Produce Concerns
Just one serving of some imported fruits can contain
enough perchlorate to exceed the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) safe daily
dose by more than 25%, according to a new study that measures perchlorate
concentrations in fruits, wines, and beers from around the world. The findings
are further evidence that risk models for what is turning out to be a
widespread contaminant need to be revised.
Perchlorate is well known as a major component in rocket
fuel, but the chemical also forms naturally. In sufficient amounts, perchlorate
disrupts the thyroid by inhibiting the uptake of iodide, an essential component
of thyroid hormones.
Cantaloupe from Guatemala topped the perchlorate charts
at 463.5 parts per billions (ppb). An average serving, one-quarter of a medium
melon, weighs 135 grams and would supply 62.5 micrograms (µg) of
perchlorate. Fruit lovers who eat half a melon would get a 125-ppb dose. For a
70-kilogram adult, the NAS-recommended safe daily dose is 49 µg of
perchlorate:

Andressohn Family Update 
by Steven Gibb
We have been blessed with many leaders stepping up to the
plate regarding the Andressohns. One of those dynamic and powerful leaders is
none other than Victoria Boutenko of RawFamily. We all know it takes a team effort
to get a project off the ground and this is what the Raw Family is all about.
Igor, Sergei and Valya play very important roles. However, Victoria is the one
behind the scenes doing massive amounts of research so she can bring you her
new and refreshing ideas. In fact, her ideas and writing have been so grand
that she has been nominated as a finalist for the Prestigious 2006 IPPY
National Book Awards! WOW is all we can say here at Raw Friends.
Victoria Boutenko has donated a case of her
powerful book, Green for Life toward the Andressohn cause. Each of
these books will have a special emblem attached, like the one on the right,
representing her nomination.
As many of you know, the Andressohns have been on a
mission to gain the company of their children after a daunting 30 months of no
contact. If you’re not familiar with the case visit

I just hung up the phone with Lamoy Andressohn after she
explained what a wonderful visit she and her husband Joseph had on Tuesday. She
also shared that they looked at a house for rent that had three bedrooms and
two bathrooms with a back yard big enough to grow a garden. While Joseph is
busy doing lawn care (sometimes 12 hours per day) Lamoy is preparing gourmet
dishes for her clients. They have been living like church mice in order to save
every penny so they can meet the court's requirements, thus allowing them to
have the children every weekend from Friday evening to Monday morning, starting
June 1st.
At the end of the summer they will have FULL custody and
their family will be reunited after a 38 month battle.
What are the requirements?
- A working, reliable vehicle
- A home for everyone to live in
- Both parents working
What You Can Do
The Andressohns both have jobs and do have a vehicle,
even though is does need some work. The next big step is the deposit for a new
home. In the past we’ve been asking for your help and are VERY grateful to
those of you who have helped from the depths of your heart. Now we're able to
give you something for your donation. Anyone who would like a copy of Green
For Life may send a check/cash/money order made out to “Joseph
Andressohn” in the amount of $17.95. This equates to $14.95 and $3.00 for
shipping. These books are packaged and ready for shipment. As soon as we get
your check we will send you this dynamic book.
Or, if you would like to donate via PayPal or credit card
you may go to http://www.rawfriends.com/opendonations.php.
Be sure to enter $17.95 for the book and shipping! This case of books equates
