The Sunfood Diet Success System - Book Review

The Sunfood Diet Success System, by David Wolfe, Hardcover, 624 pages, Maul Brothers Publishing. This is the sixth edition of this book, first published in 2000. I skipped over it for all these years because I've read so many other books on the Raw Living Foods lifestyle that I didn't think I needed to read another. But at the urging of Raw Fooder Helen Terry, I ordered a copy. I'm glad I did.

While I've always enjoyed hearing David speak about Raw Living Foods, in this book he includes a lot of information that isn't in his lectures. I especially enjoyed the motivational philosophy that he covers in the first chapters, and how he relates Living Foods to not only health and disease, but also faith and the environment.

Some great quotes:

"Life transformation is an inner journey. To succeed in life you have to work harder. But not on your family, or on your friends, or on your job, or on whatever comes your way. You have to work harder on yourself first."

"When we strive to become better ourselves, everything around us becomes better too."

"The best way to make others healthy is to become incredibly healthy yourself!"

"Health is not something we can get; rather, it is something we attract by the person we become."

"You are where you are and what you are because of the beliefs you have about who you are. You are healthy or unhealthy, successful or unsuccessful, happy or sad because of the beliefs you have about yourself in those areas.

"If you keep believing what you are believing, you will keep achieving what you are achieving. If you keep doing what you are doing, you will keep getting what you are getting."

I see why Helen found this a highly motivational book. Inspiration is an important part of transitioning to Raw; this book can help you with that.

David Wolfe's book is available directly from his website at www.davidwolfe.com, and is available at a discount at Amazon.com (direct link).

A "good read."

Ann Wigmore's Living Foods Lifestyle - Movie Review

For a good overview of the Raw Living Foods lifestyle, the video Ann Wigmore's Living Foods Lifestyle is wonderful. This is an interview with Dr. Ann Wigmore in 1990, in which she covers all of the basics of Living Foods and their preparation. 1 hr., 57 min., on DVD-R and VHS: www.chiDiet.com/tapes.htm#v61.

Oh - this video also won Second Place in the Educational Category at the Raw Lifestyle Film Festival in LA last March: http://serenityspaces.org/filmfest.asp.

Raw Living Foods Home Study Program

The Home Study Program about Raw Living Foods was developed from the teachings of Dr. Ann Wigmore at Creative Health Institute. We put this program together because we talked to many, many people who either didn't have the time, or the money, to attend the two-week hands-on program in Michigan. I was going over the books recently and realized that we've shipped 20,000 videos in the last three years! That truly amazed me. I knew that there was a demand for this training, but I had no idea it would be so popular.

Twenty percent of our orders have been International shipments. We've shipped to every continent; in order of per-capita popularity: New Zealand, Australia, Iceland, Canada, England and Japan. We've also given away many complete sets of the program, including DVD players and television sets, all over Africa.

Who received video number 20,000? Two friends from Wisconsin, Natasha and Georgina. They both ordered the complete Home Study Program on the same day, and we filled their orders at the same time. One of the videos we shipped to them was number twenty thousand.

That sure is a lot of videos. I hope that they're being well-shared, and being viewed often. Being a "raw fooder" requires more than just not eating meat. I hear from many people that have thrown their bodies out of balance by eating too much fruit, or nuts, or other raw foods.

Furthermore, the Living Foods Lifestyle includes other components besides just raw foods. There is the "living" aspect of our foods, as well as internal cleansing, colon health, lymphatic system health, proper exercise, wheatgrass juice, energy soup, proper food combining, dehydrating, nutritional and dietary balance (lots of greens), and yummy food prep. All of this we teach at Creative Health Institute, and in the Home Study Program.

Surrounded, as we are, with increasing toxicity in our food and environment, eating a pure and healthy diet is more important than ever. More and more people are starting to see that, and I believe that's why the Raw and Living Foods Movement is growing so fast.

There's a lot more to being a raw fooder than eating fruits and veggies. Dietary variety, purity, balance, sprouting and personal detoxification are important, too. Now you can learn about the Raw Living Foods Lifestyle in the comfort and convenience of your own home. Learn how to detoxify 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 50 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, where she taught 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, 36 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.

Jerry and James,

I just have to tell you that I am LOVING both the book Green For Life and the DVD Greens Can Save Your Life. I read the book in one night and cannot stop watching the DVD. I really can't thank you enough, I feel it is really saving me right now. Victoria just gave energy soup the fashion makeover it so richly deserves. Who would have thought that kale and chard could be so yummy? As they say, the proof is in the smoothie.....

Thanks from the bottom of my heart,
Erica

P.S. The QUALITY of the taping is just light-years better than before. Way to go! You got some fancy stuff on there, boys!
You looked really healthy on the video, James. It shows!

Backslider's Corner

Backsliding but progressing is NOT about feeling guilty about slipping. Even if you weren't 100% raw this week, how much better are you feeling than when you were on the SAD?

Raw Living Foods Hands-on Training

Some try to heal you with vitamins or herbs, others with drugs or surgery. But the Dr. Ann Wigmore program is different - We Don't Wait to get Sick. The Wigmore Program "tunes up" your entire body, now, so you won't get sick in the first place!

We've been teaching the benefits of a plant-based diet for 30 years in an intensive, two-week, hands-on program of health education and raw foods preparation. The testimonials of former Creative Health students speak volumes about the Living Foods Lifestyle that we teach - http://rawlivingfoods.typepad.com/1/feedback_creative_health_institute/index.html.

The best way to get to know us it to come visit for an afternoon. Sundays we have a wonderful raw gourmet vegan buffet at 2:30 pm. Call us at (866) 426-1213 for dates. For driving directions and maps visit CreativeHealthInstitute.com/directions.htm.

Brenda Cobb Speaks at Raw Reunion

I had a wonderful, wonderful time last weekend. As regular readers will remember, last September I attended the 10-day program at the Living Foods Institute and had a wonderful, inspiring time.

Last weekend Cynthia Allf and some of the other students from my class put together a reunion at Cynthia's place on Amelia Island - near Jacksonville, Florida. Not only was it great to see the friends I'd made in Atlanta, but it was inspiring to see how well they've done Living the Lifestyle. Debbie Charles, in particular, was a new woman, she's lost so much weight! I'm hoping she'll write up her testimony and send us some photos.

Visits to the spa were great - at least for the women - and even I totally enjoyed our morning yoga on the beach.

The highlight of the weekend was a group shopping trip to the Organic Market (visualize herding cats), and a community food prep session for Saturday night's dinner. Wendy Sharon brought a complete series of recipes - from appetizers to dessert - and we had a truly Raw Gourmet Feast.

And then - to top off a wonderful day - we drove over to Amelia Island Resort where Brenda Cobb was speaking that evening. The scheduling that made this happen was totally synchronistic. We found Brenda very inspiring, or re-inspiring, and most of us got to share our testimonies about how Living Foods have changed our lives.

Sunday night promised to be interesting, too. Our group was to meet with the Raw Vegan group from St. Augustine, and go to a raw restaurant with them. Unfortunately, my schedule prevented me from making it to that event, though I'm sure it was rawsome.

Yep, I had a great weekend. Thanks to all of you who made it possible!

Raw Living Foods Lifestyle Reduces Global Warming
- Last year a UN Report showed that the raw vegan diet is the best deterrent to global warming and promoting sustainability.

This video by Glen Beck discusses how Al Gore - and other politicians - ignore how going low on the food chain deters global warming (8 minutes): http://youtube.com/watch?v=VwkbDubF2qM. Includes an interview with PETA spokesperson.

So... Is the Raw Living Foods® Lifestyle "An Inconvenient Truth?"
