CareyIn four weeks at CHI last September I lost 20 lbs. I never missed a meal, I was never hungry, and I had tons of energy! I arrived healthy but overweight, and was interested in learning more about raw living foods. Imagine my surprise when the pounds started falling off! In 2 1/2 months I lost 30 lbs. -- Dr. James E. Carey, PhD -- December 2002 Updated, August 2005:  Dec 2001 at 260 lb.  Aug 2005 at 175
Dr. Lorraine Day, MD, had such success curing her cancer with the Wigmore Diet that she made a video about it, "Sorting Through the MAZE of Alternative Medicine." James, Thanks very much for this tahinni article. And your frequent news. It's a great service to use to remind myself to eat consciously. Ken Shepard Canadian Centre for Leadership & Strategy For 46 years I suffered with severe allergies and at the age of 44 developed tricuspid valve problems in my heart. I discovered the Ann Wigmore Program four years ago... Within two months on the program my heart was no longer pounding and on examination no abnormality of the valve is detectable. As an added surprise, I have found no allergies for several years now. This way of living is the most powerful I have ever found. I have seen it reverse serious illness and just make life better and more enjoyable for those who use it. -- Dr. J. Glenn Kox, BA, DC Testimonials - Victoria Boutenko and friends There are a number of testimonials that you'll enjoy on their website, www.RawFamily.com. This family of four reversed all of their health challenges with the Wigmore Raw Living Foods lifestyle. Testimonial - Department of Veterans Affairs Karen Fussell has introduced the "Living Foods Program" to several staff and patients at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center on October 19, 1998. This healthful eating concept was well received and her presentation very dynamic! Thank you for your part in her bringing us this very special program today. Sincerely, Sharalyn Davis, RMT Creative Arts Therapist Department of Veterans Affairs Battle Creek, MI October 19, 1998 Testimonial - Dianne
LahrWhen I returned home I felt as if I had just participated in an opportunity of a lifetime. I was so excited. I also felt as though I was being released from a hospital. The changes that occurred while I was there were unbelievable. They not only were physical changes, but emotional ones as well. I proved to myself that I could endure the tough eating regimen which is practiced there. Since I have been sick seven years, I had to be very careful where and how I traveled. The first week at the center was the most difficult for me physically. I was in so much pain. But it disappeared the second week. I did not notice some changes until I went home. When my husband met me at the rail station, he offered me a sprout sandwich. So I ate it. It took 2 hours to travel home, and when I entered our driveway, my sinuses were stuffed and draining. I realized that I had not had those symptoms during my stay in Michigan! I walked into our house into our family room and took off my socks. When I did, I noticed that the thick, rough, pitted scales and callouses all over the bottom of my feet were almost gone! I exclaimed to my husband to look at the bottom of my feet. Then I knew that something wonderful had occurred in my body while I was at the center! (I had previously been told by an oral surgeon that a sign of auto-intoxication was thick callouses on the bottom of the feet.) I really appreciated all of the information that you taught us in class. I truly mean all that I am saying. I never heard such clear-cut explanations of the workings of the body. Even Mike Broderick, who had attended Gerson for six weeks, was super impressed. I appreciate all of the extra time you put into us. And all of the individualized attention. It was greatly needed. I was thankful for the time. It is my desire to uplift you as to the work that you are doing. It is so worthwhile. The attitude of acceptance and trust that was afforded us on our stay there was so refreshing. It made me feel at home. So all that I can say is thank you. The center made a difference in my life. And I can not wait to go back again and go through the program. I hope that this is a letter of encouragement to you. That is its intent. And it is sincere. Thanks for being there. Sincerely, Dianne Lahr June 27, 1999 Hi James, I enjoy the articles on health that I receive and hope that you keep them coming. Thanks for all the wonderful info. Theresa January 26, 2005 Thanks James and Carole, Just wanted to let you know that life goes on after CHI. Getting accustomed to balancing (or should I say "juggling") work life and food prep. Using my home kitchen and experimenting a lot when I have free time. Of course, it is a challenge. I was spoiled at CHI. Carole: you have been an inspiration in the kitchen and the heart. James: you are an inspiring & energetic leader with your heart in the right place. Thanks to you both for all that you do to promote people to be responsible and educated for their own health. As I follow this path I trust that it will lead me in a positive and joyful direction. Paul (my s/o) is liking most of this new diet and we are transitioning where we need to. He seems to be feeling better. Appreciatively & with smiles, Jackie Klein September 26, 2004 PS: Hope all is unfolding perfectly in your world................. Dear Editor: enjoy the newsletter - especially like the way you word it - this is a lifestyle choice - not a "failing" etc. - every day is a new challenge and adventure w/ raw foods - and it is good to be reminded to take it easy on ourselves and that we do the best we can everyday. Sincerely, Sherrye in Tucson June 23, 2004 "Hello Steven and Jim, I must share with you that I am very happy with the home course. The big plus is something I would not easily achieve coming for a stay at Creative Health. Although a visit is my future plans. My children have been watching the videos with me. All three have done wheatgrass shots. Their ages are 10, 12 and 18. I firmly believe hearing the benefits of this lifestyle from the tapes, as opposed to 'just Mom,' is vesting them into at least trying. Thank you for making this available. Blessings Gloria" "Hi, Just wanted to say thanks for putting out this email news letter. I appreciate it a lot and it encourages me in my daily struggle with food choices. Warmly, Nancy" To the Staff, Thank You so much for all your hard work here at CHI. I know that it's not an easy thing to develop a servant's heart in the presence of what seems to be ingratitude, but you have risen to the occasion. Thank You for your patience with me. I appreciate so much having my meals made 3 times a day, my wheatgrass always there all your helpful friendly smiles. It gives me all the time I need to study, take classes, read pray. I'm able to heal grow because of you! Thank You with all my heart! Penny August 2005

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 I want to thank you for your efforts in educating people on the benefits of the healthy lifestyle. I enjoy reading your comments. Ellis Whitehead
Send YOUR testimonial to editor@chiDiet.com Testimonial - Hiawatha L. Cromer 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 When I arrived here at CHI I was so ill that I was concerned for my life. I was in a great deal of pain, my arm had deteriorated (the cuff is gone and inoperable as well as my spine) and I'm also diabetic and have neuropathy really bad. When I arrived I couldn't walk without the walker, or bathe myself. I am now able to do both and within a week I was able to start living on my own, which I never thought would again be possible. I believe there is hope that I can get better, not just a little by that I can get well. I'm 73 years old, and becoming young again. -- Connie Testimonial - Rhonda
EggenWhat a wonderful experience it's been this past week at CHI. I have been battling a number of health challenges over the past few years, and my doctors have been continuously adding more and more prescriptions to the list of drugs I have been taking. I had some vacation time coming, and decided that the best thing that I could do was to take a week to begin healing my body. I felt welcome the minute I walked into the door! I am leaving CHI today feeling better than I have in the past couple of years. I was even able to reduce and/or eliminate some of my medication. All of this in only 5 days! I also want to thank the staff for their caring ways, and their willingness to share all that they know. Steven is extremely energetic and knowledgeable, and you can't help but pick up on the positive energy that he puts out. Jeannie was so patient and accommodating as far as her teaching us "hands on" in the kitchen. Because of her dedication and willingness to go above and beyond, I feel confident that I can go home and easily prepare the delicious dishes that we mad together while I was here. Once again, the entire staff was awesome!!! If you're feeling sick Or feeling blue Come to CHI They'll know what to do! With my Sincerest Gratitude, Rhonda Eggen March 25, 2005 Testimonial - Billye Graham Dear Don, One should always tithe where one receives their inspiration and spiritual uplifting. I enjoyed my stay at Creative Health Institute and was very appreciative of the opportunity to listen to that heavenly music we all made on Sunday. Enclosed please find my check for $xxx You seem to want to know that you will be assured a place in Heaven. Well, I want to let you know that you have my vote. Religious fever is not all that God measures us by. It is also by our works and deeds that we shall be known. In creating CHI you have provided a great healing that has a ripple effect, touching so many lives and erasing a multitude of your sins. God has blessed you with many gifts and talents. And to he who is given much, much is required. You have give much. Thank you, Billye J. Graham Hi Jim, Just wanted to say that you do a great job with the news letter. Keep up the good work! God Bless, Janet McDermott Thank you, CHI... for your newsletter and your timely 'timeless' information!!! As a mother of 5 (who cannot get away at this time), I plan to order the 'Study @ Home Plan'. We desperately need the information you have to share. I know you probably send the newsletter to 'countless' people... but I wanted you... the editor.. to know IT IS COUNTED! Thank you... for promoting health! Pam Girouard March 16, 2005 Wow... Jim... you are amazing and I hope you don't let your talent stop just at my first issue of the newsletter. Keep them coming. Did you get them from a book? Which one? What a great way to tease people. Maybe I need to use the cherry one and put it on my pastors saladacco pasta if I make him the teaser. I go to a huge church which means 8,000+ per week come in... I am very involved too, and just yesterday the pastor had his secretary call to set up appointment to discuss my health ministry (hacres.com). Now we have to figure out how to make classes cost effective. Isn't that amazing... $150 for drugs per month for some and they want to have classes re health cost effective. Maybe that should be their motivator to keep more in their pocket in the long run!!!!!!!!!!!! Carol G January 21, 2005 To all my friends or better put family at Creative Health, I would like to say Thank You for all you did for me during my last stay. Thank you so much to Jeannie, Sara, and Gwen for helping me in my time of crisis and getting me to the hospital. You're life savers. The support there is wonderful and the love for the guests goes way beyond what most people could ever conceive. I want to let you know, I will be leaving this weekend for Mexico. I plan to be gone 2 weeks. Will let you know what happens. I feel very confident that I will get rid of this trache tube in the near future. God brought me this far, he has much bigger plans for me. Once I get my feet back on the ground, I'll need some detoxifying. I'll be in touch with you soon -- Love Sheryl Krantz July 14, 2004 Hi James, You do a great job with the newsletter, and I appreciate your not wanting it to look like "some self-serving advertising rag". (-: Please remember you are performing a (very!) valuable service in sharing this info with others who have health challenges and may be on the verge of giving up. My suggestion was just that you make your name and website more visible for people like me. Personally, I get so many e-mails that I have to scan quickly and delete. Also, I get so many newsletters from natural health sources that it's hard to keep track of them. I can tell you're sincere in your mission and you truly want to help people. Likewise, I consider it my part to encourage friends who are sick to look into therapeutic nutrition. Passing on your newsletter might at least stimulate their curiosity to look into it further. Thanks, Judy June 8, 2004 Hi James! I got the emails you sent me. I thought I'd email you back and tell you I did get them. I'm really pleased with Lesson 1. It's excellent! Does every lesson come in a binder like this? I really enjoyed the testimonial video. I'm really looking forward to lesson 2. You've done a lot of work to put this together. It's so wonderful you have and I'm sure grateful you have put this program together. Thanks! Darlene Shule February 17, 2004 Thank God for you! You are so good
and funny! Liked the Navy thing! It made me smile! Thank you, Thank you! I
would end with God Bless You but he already has. Hugs (good healing) Marcia June 11, 2004 Hi James, We want to congratulate you and we feel like you do that CHI is on a very good path to success and sustainability to continue its long tradition of healing people. We are so glad you are here in Michigan with us. Thank you for making the decision to stay and be here at CHI. We appreciate you and are glad and grateful you are where you are. Blessings to you, Beth and Christian Bechtel Haslett, MI June 7, 2004 Thanks Jim - Shipment arrived yesterday and what a wonderful packaging job - all in a great binder to go with me and store easily. Thank you for having this material available! Will be studying with it in the coming days, -- Jodi April 3, 2004 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 SPEAD 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 September 11, 2000 "Lesson One was great! ... You must have put it in the mailbox seconds after I placed my order! Thanks for the great program and the great service." - Larry Meggs May, 2004

Dear Jim, Thank you for believing and encouraging me. I've just come back from California where I had a great time with my older niece and her family and we all celebrated the first birthday of my younger niece who is 35 years younger than her half-sister. Of course I had a Russian copy of "12 steps..." and wonderful materials from your e-mails. I am not sure, but I hope that SOMETIMES it will help. I will mail the last one directly to my older niece (she just came back from the Netherland), I hope she will be able to convince her father to pay attention. Thank you again very, very much. My best regards Sarah Shvetskaya Hello Steven and Jim, I must share with you that I am very happy with the home course. The big plus is something I would not easily achieve coming for a stay at Creative Health. Although a visit is my future plans. My children have been watching the videos with me. All three have done wheatgrass shots. Their ages are 10, 12 and 18. firmly believe hearing the benefits of this lifestyle from the tapes, as opposed to "just Mom," is vesting them into at least trying. Thank you for making this available. Blessings Gloria Jim, Wow, Gloria's testimony. Praise God. How exciting to see we can still take responsibility for our own bodies and not believe or wait for the words: chemo, radiation, cancer, death. I'm excited for the staff for believing in their "work." Just imagine "what if" Gloria was the typical patient and went for chemo, etc. after being healed. I have no doubt the "return of the cancer" would be back. Wow.... made my day without even knowing Gloria. Carol Steven's Fasting Experience Summer of 2005:"Thank you for the uplifting and informative letters. I truly enjoy reading them. Just want to say keep up the good work. The inspiration and knowledge is appreciated. I just started growing wheatgrass and am truly enjoying the experience. My diet is about 60/40 I intend to increase the raw consumption to 50/50 by the end of 2005. THANKS AGAIN!!!" - Jeff Johns. "Thanks for taking the time cos I know you're very busy! (must say I'm thrilled to get a email from the man directing such an institute.) Yes great info on all I've watched so far! And I fully understand that the original is about a while. I find the folder a great help and Dr. Ann's story is a 'Good one!.' Well this is my second day free from all cooked and processed food and I feel good! I think I eat too much sprouted sunflower so it's lying in my stomach. I go to the local boxing club and just exercise like the rest of the lads there and I feel good as I can to a degree 'keep up,' which is good for me as I'm a former smoker. Well I hope to lose a few pounds and I know if I don't eat fast food and fatty food I should do. Thanks again Jim and I'll keep you posted on my progress!! Take care, Paul Maginn." "I love these health success stories. Thank you for bringing them to our attention." - Catherine Coy. "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. :-) " - Karen Ferguson (the article Karen is referring to can be found at http://chiDiet.com/news/ and the tape is available from http://chiDiet.com/tapes.htm#v47) "Dear Jim Carey, I just wanted to dash off a quick note to let you know how wonderful I think your efforts are.

My best regards, Sarah Shvetskaya" 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 August 2005
