The dirty little secret of the raw food movement...

[Guest guest]

Yes, it's true. The raw food movement has a dirty, nasty little secret.

It's this: Many people go raw, only to encounter NEW health challenges,

sometimes much worse than what made them go raw in the first place.

Over the years I've received numerous letters about this. One woman even

described her journey from SAD (Standard American Diet), to Raw, to

insulin-dependent Diabetic. Surprised? I was. So much so that Dr.

Flora van Orden III - PhD in Nutrition, and a 40-year raw fooder - Dr.

Flora and I spent time consulting with each of them, over the years.

In every case we found the same fundamental cause. The person in

question suffered from a dietary deficiency. That is, while they were

eating healthy, nutritious food, they weren't eating a balanced diet.

That is, they weren't getting all of the different nutrients that their

bodies need. The insulin-dependent diabetic, for example - she

admitted that her raw food diet

<http://rawfoods-tagging.jiglu.com/overlay/421144342047d9c1012087d7a5566\

aa3/raw%20food%20diet> consisted almost entirely of fruits, and the

overload of sugar did her in. She sees this now, and her request is that

we make people aware of potential traps like this one. Statistically,

after one year most vegans are only eating seven different foods.

That's not enough for the body to get all the different things it needs

- the typical list is 112 different vitamins and minerals, all available

from plant-based foods. So, how DO you get enough protein? How about

vitamins, especially B-12? Carbohydrates? Some fat in your diet is

important, but what's the right source? Where do you get Omega 3 if you

don't eat fish? This is where Dr. Ann Wigmore's Raw Living Foods

Lifestyle

<http://rawfoods-tagging.jiglu.com/overlay/421144342047d9c1012087d7a5566\

aa3/Food%20Lifestyle> Program comes in. Dr. Ann Wigmore has been

called " The Queen of Green, " " The Original Raw Diva " and many other

compliments, along with earning numerous degrees and awards (click here

to read them).

 

Dr. Ann developed her " Raw Living Foods Lifestyle

<http://rawfoods-tagging.jiglu.com/overlay/421144342047d9c1012087d7a5566\

aa3/Food%20Lifestyle> " back in the 1950's after being told by her

doctors that nothing could be done for her colon cancer

<http://rawfoods-tagging.jiglu.com/overlay/421144342047d9c1012087d7a5566\

aa3/colon%20cancer> .

 

Through study, research and experimentation she healed her cancer, then

went on to teach thousands of others around the world how the body can

heal itself with the proper nourishment. Dr. Ann found that certain

foods - foods most people overlook - are essential to a balanced,

healthy diet

<http://rawfoods-tagging.jiglu.com/overlay/421144342047d9c1012087d7a5566\

aa3/healthy%20diet> . Dr. Ann taught that it's not about

" superfoods, " it's not about supplements, it's about balanced, living

nutrition. By the 1960's she had become a world-recognized expert in

the field of raw food, had earned numerous degrees, and her advice was

sought all over the world. Sadly, all great programs lose some

of their momentum after the founder passes. Dr. Ann perished fighting

a fire in her apartment in 1993. Eighty-four years old, she was found in

the hallway with a bucket of water beside her, and another bucket in the

bathtub, with the water running. Smoke from the fire had overcome her.

Dr. Ann did leave us her Lifestyle Training Programs. You can learn

about the various hands-on programs at AnnWigmore.com - Learn More. I've

been to a number of them and have seen people undergo amazing

transformations. My first exposure to Dr. Ann's program was at

Creative Health Institute

<http://rawfoods-tagging.jiglu.com/overlay/421144342047d9c1012087d7a5566\

aa3/Health%20Institute> in Michigan

<http://rawfoods-tagging.jiglu.com/overlay/421144342047d9c1012087d7a5566\

aa3/Michigan> , and it did wonders for me. I've been a member of the

Board of Trustees of their non-profit Trust for many years. My favorite

is the Living Foods Institute in Atlanta, Georgia. Brenda Cobb and staff

do a wonderful job of imparting a true Wigmore program. From what I've

seen and heard, they all do a great job. Dr. Ann's program works. It

really works. It works because it focuses on the proper types and

varieties of plant-based foods in order to give the body full, proper

nutrition.

For those who can't afford two or three weeks and several thousand

dollars for a hands-on program, we developed the Dr. Ann Wigmore Raw

Living Foods Home Study Program five years ago, and it, too, has

benefited thousands, all over the world. We have hundreds and

hundreds of testimonial letters. You can read and see some of them at

the following links (be sure to click on Previous or Next at the bottom

of the pages):

See chiDiet.com/blog/category/success-stories and chiDiet.net (see the

" Feedback " pages) and AnnWigmore.com (see the " Testimonials " pages)

Look around these websites and you'll find many more positive success

statements. We have such a big collection of them than I don't have

anyplace to publish all of them. However, even the Home Study

Program

<http://rawfoods-tagging.jiglu.com/overlay/421144342047d9c1012087d7a5566\

aa3/Home%20Study%20program> isn't inexpensive. The current economic

climate has pushed me into coming up with something new and even more

affordable. Here's what I've refined Dr. Ann's program into - The Dr.

Ann Wigmore Collection - a collection of 10 DVDs

<http://rawfoods-tagging.jiglu.com/overlay/421144342047d9c1012087d7a5566\

aa3/DVD> of the basics of Dr. Ann's Raw Living Foods Lifestyle.

While the Dr. Ann Wigmore Collection is only a good overview of her

program, it contains enough to get you started on the right track.

Seven of the DVDs give you hours of rare footage of Dr. Ann teaching her

program, and cover a lot of detail, especially about the right foods to

eat, and why. The other three fill in the gaps that Dr. Ann's videos

didn't cover, and are taught by veteran instructors from Creative Health

Institute, which was co-founded by Dr. Ann and has been teaching her

program since 1976. In addition, these two instructors have agreed to

be available to you for personalized coaching by phone or email. I

know, a set of ten DVDs like this normally runs $250, even $300. Not

these. I bought a huge quantity of them, and I'm offering the set of 10

for only $88. I'm going to ship them to you for free (within the US),

AND I'm including over $1,000 worth of donated bonus items!

I can think of no better way

Lifestyle than to view - and re-view this information. This Collection

is going to throw a lot of what you think you know about food - even raw

foods - out the window. Remember - this is tried, true, proven

information that has withstood the test of time - and protects you from
