Raw Living Foods Around the World

By the time you receive this I'll be in Michigan for my speaking engagement at Creative Health Institute tomorrow, August 26th.

I received a wonderful letter last weekend:

-------------------------------------

James,

Thank you for the always inspiring letter, but this time you have outdone yourself. It is fantastic to read all these personal testimonies of real people and their experience by going raw. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You are changing the world a letter at a time, making this world a better place.

Love and appreciation from

Hilde Bedsvaag from Norway

-------------------------------------

<blush>. So I thought this might be a good time to share some more of our collection raw testimonies and stories from Raw Fooders from Around the World.

Robert Hayes, South Africa

Hi Jim.

That was the most wonderful time. That was exactly what I discovered on hundreds of books, and CDs I worked through [over] the last 4 years. Namely, detox, positive lifestyle and nutrition. I wanted to be sure I do everything right, that's why I went there. I enjoyed the kitchen so much. All the people involved are sincere; money is not important to them.

I will promote this Institute to everyone. It's far from home. It took me 30 hours traveling. Strangely, I had no jet stress or jetlag. Coming back same thing. I didn't sleep on the planes, and after two days and 2 night awake, coming home, I slept 3 hours, got up and answered my emails, slept another hour got up and work all-day today, no problem.

I am 64 years, so this is really something. I attribute it all to the raw diet I have been following 100% the last two and a half months.

Today I have been asked to give a full day demonstration and lectures to some friends who have tried the raw diet, with an immediate improvement in their health. I am now preparing for it. It will be a busy one, having different sizes of sprouts, greens, and everything on one day, but I know the story now, looking forward to it.

Receiving the certificate was like getting a reward I worked so hard for the last four years. I was so overwhelmed with emotion that I could hardly talk, giving my speech. Reason being, I ask for the truth, I got it, my searching came to an end at the Creative Health Institute,

I now have to go and practice it. Live it. Promote it. Thanks again for your kindness and interest.

Mike and Kathy Fields, New Zealand

Hi Jim,

I am very grateful for you efforts, Kathy has high hopes for this book and is over the moon at the help you have provided. It's hard to get the computer off her these days as she is constantly checking the emails to see if anyone has sent a story through or emailing her request for stories out.

I have finished reading Ann Wigmore's book and the road she traveled was very hard. The more I learn about her the more I am in awe, the effect just one person has had on today's society is inspirational.

I'd love to know what started it all for you, how did you first come across all this and what motivated you to make the change?

Cheers
Mike
New Zealand

-------------------------------------

Hey Jim,

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me find an answer for this, and referring my query to some pretty amazing people. I really appreciate all you have done helping to answer our questions. I know that one day I will make a trip over to America and I can thank you in person.

I am looking forward to a response from Dr. Flora van Orden. I will look up her details, anyone who worked with Dr. Ann Wigmore is fine by me. I am reading another of Ann's books at the moment and I really wish I could have met her, she is so inspiring!

Thanks again for the support you are offering, it is easy to feel a little like a lone voice in the wilderness here in New Zealand and my correspondence with you is a great boost to my belief in what I am doing.

Have a brilliant day!

Cheers, Kathy

[Since these letters Kathy and Mike Fields have released a video, Vegan 2 Raw Vegan, and also had a Raw Baby. You can learn more at http://vegan2rawvegan.com/. Our review of the movie can be read at http://www.chidiet.com/news/LivingFoodsNews20070721.htm and at http://rawlivingfoods.typepad.com/1/2007/07/vegan-2-raw-veg.html.]

Reni

What I have noticed is that on raw food is that I, too, feel true hunger very seldom. I could easily eat only 2 small fruit meals and a salad a day and be satiated. This goes to show just how little we really need! Imagine if everyone ate raw food. The quantity they'd eat would be far lower and this way there'd be more to go around for everyone.

Nicki D'Amico

Steven and friends at CHI,

Thank You so much for sending out the video of our class skit! I was so surprised and delighted to get it in the mail.

I truly had a magical and unforgettable time at CHI. I really miss my daily walks and the beautiful natural sights I got to experience every day. Not to mention having delicious meals prepared for me at regular times!

I've been doing well with the raw foods after having some setbacks at first. Now I'm just enjoying this new way of eating and understanding food. Thank you again for the intense experience which definitely changed my life.

Warm regards,

Nicki D'Amico

Virginia Sanderson, Minnesota

I've thought so much about you all and about my three weeks there and all I learned. It's been hard, back in the real world, but I've made some important changes, and I'm proud of that. Breakfast is always fruit, and I make sure that I always have a big salad at lunch and dinner. I'm keeping up with the walking, too.

There is NO WAY NOT TO SPREAD THE WORD about this miraculous program. Everybody has remarked on how much healthier I look, and they are full of questions. The more I tell them, the more they ask. My doctor asked me, "What's the name of this place? Where is it?"

I'm so glad I visited this amazing and endearing place, and to have met you! Your vibrant kitchen resides in the corner of my mind, constantly inspiring me with its sound of whirring and chopping and laughter.

Virginia Sanderson

Hiawatha Cromer, Georgia

On May 1, 1993 I began working at Creative Health Institute, most of the time as a volunteer. I was afforded the opportunity to regain my health here.

When I arrived I weighed 220 pounds, suffered from high blood pressure, had a pain in my right leg that caused me to walk with a limp, and had a craving for sweets.

My original intent was to stay for three months... After 9 months I had lost 60 pounds, my right leg no longer ached and I had weaned myself off of sweets except for fresh fruits.

Since being at Creative Health Institute I have witnessed what people usually call miracles. I have learned that the body is self-healing. We only need to give the body the nourishment it needs and it will heal itself.

I have also learned about the importance of enzymes. All cooked food depletes the body of its enzyme reserve. Enzymes are the foundation of all living cells, and the catalyst for all the metabolic processes that occur within the body.


Hiawatha L. Cromer, MSW

[Hiawatha is currently Program Director at CHI.]

Bill and Evah Phillips

Bill and I have just returned home today from what we have termed our greatest adventure in our 50 years of marriage.

We spent three months at Creative Health Institute in Union City, Michigan... this was a chance to do something very different and we knew we could do it... The small class was remarkable ... you become really good friends with those you spend a lot time with... a rural farm setting with clean air, long country walks, and healthy food.

It was an amazing experience, neither Bill nor I had big problems to work on, but at 82 and 83 we wanted to stay active and be able to live in our own home the rest of our lives. If you are fighting a disease we suggest you run, not walk, to Creative Health Institute.

... We had benefits we would never have guessed... The first thing we noticed was no more cramping in our legs, we credit that to changing our milk intake to sesame milk, which is high in calcium. 

I quit taking my high-blood pressure medication, but had it checked every week just to make sure it didn't get out of control. It stays well within the range on the living-foods diet.

Bill had not been able to cross his left leg over his right until well into the program... The last count on his PSA prostate test was brought down from 7.3 to 3.7...

We both lost some weight... we definitely feel our overall general health is better - we have more stamina and well-being than before we went.

If you want to tune up your health, meet very interesting people, and experience a new way of eating that really works ... then consider going to the Creative Health Institute and learn what really works.

Sincerely,
Bill and Evah Phillips

Dear Jim Carey,

Greetings.
Your testimony is wonderful and challenging.

My friend Seward Yvonne living in the US with this [email address] introduced me to this programme. But you know that we are trying over here in Nigeria, West Africa to come up well with this raw food programme. So we need to do a lot of teaching and awareness campaign to educate the people.

Could you kindly send us your teaching DVD or VHS to enable us run a good educative programme over here. Thanks for your consideration. Below is my postal Address.

Dear Jim Carey,

Thanks very much.
I just opened my email box today and saw the manuals you sent, I appreciate you.

Yes, my postal address is very correct, any thing you send through it will definitely reach me. Oh! I am so glad you care a lot, I lack words to express my joy in hearing that you are about sending the complete programme to me. That's so nice of you, I can't wait to receive them. I am very grateful.

Thanking you.

Last March Bartholomew held a raw living foods seminar at his church, and the pastors and elders from 8 neighboring churches attended. Videos of the 2-day conference are available by contacting editor@chiDiet.com.

Raw Living Foods® Continuing Education

To fully attain the benefits of the Raw Living Foods Lifestyle means more than eating raw fruits and veggies. You need to be aware of your protein and sugar intakes, and your combination of foods, for example. The lifestyle also includes internal and colon cleansing, the proper type and amount of exercise, supplements like wheatgrass juice, the benefits of fresh sprouts and easy ways to grow your own, energy soup and green smoothies, dehydrated foods, and how to deal with your cooked food addictions.

Even when you attend one of Dr. Ann Wigmore's hands-on educational centers, it's hard to retain all of the information. It's also challenging to stay Raw in a cooked food world.

For that reason we created the Dr. Ann Wigmore Raw Living Foods Lifestyle Home Study Program.

Compiled from over 30 years of teaching the Wigmore Lifestyle at Creative Health Institute in Michigan, the 15 Lessons of the Home Study Program are available as a set, or you can get one lesson at a time on the subscription plan (the first Lesson is free). Please visit chiDiet.com for more information (we're having a Back-to-School Sale this month!).

Here's what others have to say about the Home Study Program: http://rawlivingfoods.typepad.com/1/feedback_home_study_program/index.html.

Michele, New Zealand

Hi there Jim

Our order actually arrived by courier last Friday and the letter arrived with the post on the same day... we thought that was remarkable. So all in all I believe it only took about 10 days to get here. Thank you so much for the excellent customer service!

We are already into the lessons and DVD's and enjoying it all. I don't remember if I mentioned it or not but both my husband and I are doing the course together and are eating the same as well. Would it be possible for him to get a certificate as well please? His name is Ross J Sims.

We are hoping to make it over for the energy exchange program in July and have already contacted Barry Duncan about it and will be sending in our application forms as soon as we sort out a few details. It would be great to spend some time at the centre and the only thing worrying us is that we will love it so much that 3 months won't seem long enough and we will want to stay on longer!

Many thanks for all your help

Hi Jim,

I enjoyed the teleclass tonight - it was fun, thanks for doing that!

I am really enjoying the course - It means so much to me that you put all this information together, so I can buy it and have it show up on my doorstep. Thank you so much! I have been wanting to go to a raw food retreat for some time and just couldn't afford taking the time out  - (and what to do with my doggie?!) (my dog likes the kale and papaya green smoothie I make!).

I had been reading books, researching the Internet, trying things on my own, etc. But all this great information in your program, my gosh, I could never have done it on my own.

I also started a web site and blog just for fun and I added links to your site and blog (if that's okay). It's www.rawcitylife.com.

I'm making up recipes and taking photos of everything I make. Its new, so there's not much on it, but when my friends ask about the Raw Food lifestyle I just send them to my links page!

Thanks for all of your hard work, my life is changed forever.

Dear Jim Carey,

I just wanted to dash off a quick note to let you know how wonderful I think your efforts are. I spent a month at the Boston Hippocrates Health Institute back in 1977.

I think the tone and spirit of what you are about are much truer to who Dr. Ann was than the efforts of others who happened to come into possession of other fruits of her work.

Keep up the excellent work. I look forward to each newsletter.

Best Regards,
Tim Campbell

Thank You Jim.

Hi,

Well, I wouldn't have wanted to miss a class! I have scanned the entire course, especially the food planning and recipe sections. That is where I need the most help.

I hope to get to the videos next week and then go back over the entire course more slowly. It is excellent!

I will fax or email my comments per Lesson 15 after my second time through the course.

Thank you so much!

Jim,

Re: 7 Most Common Mistakes of Raw Foodists DVD. Thank you for getting this information out! I'm watching Victoria for the 3rd time.... so much fabulous cutting-edge information. And, you're right on, the greens are in the limelight just like Ann Wigmore professed!! It just makes sense!! Chlorophyll... of course!!

Thank you for putting up the 7 Most Common Mistakes of Raw Foodists on your newsletter!! That sold me and the information is invaluable. Now, I don't have to make the same mistakes over and over again, get cravings or continually want 'more.'

Thanks, Jim... and by the way, I saw you too... You did a really good introducing the director. And, I enjoyed hearing a brief version of your story.

Oh, and the cut outs made me curious. I suspect Victoria was 'bashing' some product and didn't want it on the tape... that was rather humorous. I'll ask her when I see her at RAWSTOCK in August. :-) "

Hello friends...

When we see, hear or learn something in life we have to make a decision what to do. One decision is to ignore what we have learned. Another is to take heed to this information and truly discover what and how it may play a part in our life. On another note we are right where we are supposed to be in life but that doesn't mean our friends can't plant seeds. So, here I am planting the seed that you may take heed to consider what you place in your mouth.

I was once well and became violently ill due to the things I placed in my mouth. Much of that was cooked food and from fast food joints like McDonald's! I am now on a life looooong journey to once again achieve total wellness.

Even though it has been an interesting journey I wouldn't wish it upon an enemy if I had one.

Your health is the best thing you have going for you... take it from someone who lost it.

You are a living organic organism and your fuel is “living food." Its not up for discussion... there's nothing to discuss... get the facts! End of story...

Warmly,
Steven

Renata on Raw

Dry Skin Brushing

In the last newsletter I mentioned how the skin helps to eliminate toxins from the body. The skin is actually the largest elimination organ of the body. On average it weighs about 9 pounds.

Considering the skin's importance we can give it a little help to make its life easier and its appearance radiant and healthy with hardly any financial expenditure. It takes only a simple natural brush and a mere few minutes a day to brush your skin towards the exuberant glow. By removing the dead skin cells, you will facilitate the opening of the pores for an easy exit of the toxins such as uric acid crystals.

Be gentle with yourself in the beginning, you have the rest of your life to practice this detox regimen. Start at the bottom of your feet, proceed to the legs, arms (lift them) and brush towards your colon in a circular fashion. Back, abdomen and chest need your loving attention as well. The women want to brush around their breasts. The procedure takes about 2 -5 minutes and will highly increase the efficiency of your lymphatic system.

If you ever had a lymphatic drainage massage you know how good you felt afterwards. If not, you might just want to make an appointment with your massage therapist and experience the lightness after such an treatment.

Every skin brushing needs to be followed up with a shower to clean away the debris. Natural soaps are the best. Please avoid those fancy shower gels, shampoos and whatnot. Have you read the labels lately? Chemical concoctions at their best. My motto is: If I can't pronounce it I don't want it on my skin or to ingest it.

The skin is a two-way road. What you put on your skin gets into your body. Likewise, what is in your body comes out via the skin. I am really careful with skin care products. Often, the best skin care products are right in your raw kitchen such as an avocado, coconut oil or the moist skin of a peeled cucumber.

Avocado helps to ease dry skin on your heels, organic coconut oil gives your whole body a luxurious, tropical richness, and the peeled cucumber skin feels cooling on your face, especially for us in the south experiencing the 100 degree heat.

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 People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals spokesperson.

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