Carey, Ph.D. former Director of Creative Health Institute former Executive Trustee, Creative Health Institute Trust, chiDiet Home Study Program Those of you who have been rs for a while know that this newsletter supports all raw fooders, living fooders and raw food organizations. Last week we had an essay by Brenda Cobb (chidiet.com/news/LivingFoodsNews20060415.htm#brenda) about how the Ann Wigmore Foundation in New Mexico (http://www.wigmore.org/) is suing her for using the terms " Living Food " and " Living Foods Lifestyle " in her 2002 book, The Living Foods Lifestyle. We've had SO many emails and calls on the subject that we'd like to share some of the background on the subject, since so many different rumors are flying around. Susan Lavender is the Director of the Ann Wigmore Foundation. According to Donald Haughey, cofounder of Hippocrates Institute of the Midwest, later renamed Creative Health Institute, Susan came to Creative Health in '99 as a garden worker. After a few months Don agreed that it would be better for everyone if Susan were to take a position at another Wigmore center, and he arranged for Susan to transfer to the Ann Wigmore Foundation in New Mexico. Susan arrived at a time of transition. Dr. Ann had perished in a fire at the Hippocrates Institute in Boston back in '94 (she was 83), and the insurance money would not cover the cost of rebuilding the Institute. Thus it was decided by the Board of Trustees to move out West where property was cheaper and the climate milder (Dr. Ann had always kept Hippocrates at 85 degrees, year-around). Within a few months of Susan's arrival in San Fidel all of the staff, including Shu Chen, had left for other opportunities. Susan found herself promoted to Director by default, according to Donald Haughey. Don also says that Susan became involved with the Wigmore program five years after Dr. Ann had passed over; Susan had never met, much less known, Dr. Ann Wigmore. In '02 Susan contacted Creative Health because she was having financial troubles, and was several years behind in her legal paperwork. Mary Jane Moore, Director of Creative Health for a decade, went down to the Foundation's center in New Mexico and brought all of the legal paperwork up-to-date, securing concessions and forgiveness from the State of Massachusetts. At that time Donald Haughey was named to the new Board of Trustees of the Ann Wigmore Foundation. In '03 Susan contacted Creative Health, along with numerous other raw living fooders including Hiawatha Cromer and Victoria Boutenko, and strongly suggested that each of us donate $1,000 a year to the Foundation because it was, again, having financial difficulties, and it was " Oh, so important to keep Dr. Ann's legacy alive. " In that year Hiawatha Cromer went down to New Mexico to assist as a volunteer. Within a few weeks she contacted me, and asked if I could donate or raise $20,000 for emergency property repairs for the Foundation's center. I demurred because my support is with Creative Health, a group that actively hosts and trains hundreds of people a year; Susan wasn't doing a fraction of that many. In '04 I was contacted again by the Foundation, first by Susan and later by her attorneys. They demanded that all sales and assets of chiDiet.com be turned over to the Foundation because we were using the copyrighted terms " Ann Wigmore " and " Living Foods Lifestyle. " My attorney found that " Ann Wigmore " never was a registered trademark as far as we can tell; " Ann Wigmore Foundation " had been registered at one time, but had been allowed to lapse in '99. " Living Foods Lifestyle " had also been allowed to lapse in '99. This can be easily verified at http://www.uspto.gov/. Furthermore, since chiDiet.com was part and parcel with Creative Health Institute Trust, and since we were operating under a Charter originally granted by Dr. Ann Wigmore and Hippocrates Institute of Boston (the predecessor of the Ann Wigmore Foundation), we had full right and permission to use Dr. Ann's name, phrases and teachings. Upon advice of attorney we told them to " buzz off. " Susan contacted Donald Haughey, and by the end of that conversation Don had resigned from the Ann Wigmore Foundation Board of Trustees, and Susan was going to sue Don and Creative Health, a threat that Donald laughed at. As an aside, my attorney recommended that I file for the trademark names myself. We considered it, but didn't do so for two reasons. We were concerned that others would perceive such a move as a power or money grab by Donald and/or myself. It was also felt that the terms " Wigmore Diet, " " Living Foods, " " Raw Living Foods " and " Living Foods Lifestyle " had entered the public lexicon. When a name enters the public lexicon it means that it's of such common usage that it's a generic term and, thus, can't be copyrighted or trademark registered because it would cause a confusion for the public. Could you imagine what shopping would be like if the term " water " was a trademark? Nobody would be able to use that name on their product. They could sell " H2O, " or " stuff that comes out of taps, " but they wouldn't be able to call their product " water. " In addition, it's the legal responsibility of the trademark registrant to rigorously enforce usage of their trademark. Since the '60s Xerox has done just that with their name. Everybody else had to sell " copiers; " to sell a " xerographic copier " was a trademark infringement (it's correctly written as " Xerographic copier " - I don't need THEM mad at me! <g>). It doesn't take much digging around on the Internet to see that " Living Foods Lifestyle " is a generic term that describes the way we live our lives. I got 17,100 hits on it this morning, and 3,900 on . There was a third consideration. Anyone who knew Dr. Ann Wigmore also knew that it was her dream and intention that any and all who learned the lifestyle from her go forth and share it with the world. That's why we've always been so supportive of all raw and living fooders in this newsletter. That's what Brenda Cobb learned from Shu Chen, that's what she went out and did, and that's why she's now being sued. Apparently in the last 18 months Susan found an attorney to get her trademarks current. While the original intention was to sue Donald Haughey, chiDiet.com and Creative Health Institute, any good attorney knows that it's hard to win a case when someone has been using the term since before it was registered as a trademark, or if they have permission to use the term. So, good attorney that I'm sure he is, he chose Brenda Cobb's book as his target. Interestingly enough, when her book went to press " Living Foods Lifestyle " didn't show up as a registered trademark. In good faith Brenda went forth from her life-saving training at the Ann Wigmore Foundation, doing what they (Shu Chen and staff) encouraged her to do - share this knowledge with the world - and then somebody else comes along, takes over the Foundation, and proceeds to make money with it any way they can. The best way to help Brenda right now is to convince the judge that the terms " Living Food " (currently expired), " Living Foods, " " Living Foods Lifestyle " (some searches show it as expired, others as renewed), " Raw Living Foods, " and all combinations of those words are part of the common lexicon, in the public domain, and should not be used as trademarks. Email Brenda a letter, then mail a copy of it to: Living Foods Institute 560 Elmwood Drive Atlanta, GA 30306 www.livingfoodsinstitute.com Brenda Direct office line: 404-607-1816 Cell: 404-625-1956 Brenda needs to have these letters by April 25th. Even if you can't get a hardcopy to her in time, at least email and tell her what you think. Susan Lavender and the Ann Wigmore Foundation can be contacted at livingfood and their website is http://www.wigmore.org/. back to the index ---- The Doctor of the Future >From www.snopes.com Inventor Thomas Edison said: " The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease. " But did Edison really say it? Beyond the invocation of his name, the " doctor of the future " statement appears unaccompanied by any other details, such as when, where, and in what context Thomas Edison supposedly spoke these words. In the 1989 book They Never Said It, the authors noted that no one had yet been able to trace the quote back to Edison himself. Researchers turned up several newspaper articles from late 1902 and early 1903 that reprinted Edison's predictions for the upcoming year, including some comments from him about the future of medicine, a portion of which includes the " doctor of the future " statement now attributed to him: " Nineteen hundred and three will bring great advances in surgery, in the study of bacteria, in the knowledge of the cause and prevention of disease. Medicine is played out. Every new discovery of bacteria shows us all the more convincingly that we have been wrong and that the million tons of stuff we have taken was all useless. " The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will instruct his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease. " They may even discover the germ of old age. I don't predict it, but it might be by the sacrifice of animal life human life could be prolonged. " Surgery, diet, antiseptics - these three are the vital things of the future in preserving the health of humanity. There were never so many able, active minds at work on the problems of diseases as now, and all their discoveries are tending to the simple truth - that you can't improve on nature. " The bold passage is rendered slightly differently in various newspaper accounts (e.g., " The doctor of the future - there will always be doctors - will instruct his patient how to care for the human frame and how to diet himself instead of giving him medicine " ), perhaps due to the vagaries of transcribing from an oral statement (or from memory), but it's clear that the statement in question (or something very much like it) was widely reported as something Thomas Edison himself said in late 1902.

We have spent thousands of dollars with Orkin and on ant poisons trying to keep them under control but nothing has helped. So when I read somewhere that aspartame (Nutrasweet sweetener) was actually developed as an ant poison, and only changed to being considered non-poisonous after it was realized that a lot more money could be made on it as a sweetener than as an ant poison, I decided to give it a try. I opened two packets of aspartame sweetener, and dumped one in a corner of each of our bathrooms. That was about 2 years ago and I have not seen any carpenter ants for about 9 to 12 months. It works better than the most deadly poisons I have tried. Any time they show up again, I simply dump another package of Nutrasweet in a corner, and they will be gone for a year or so again. Since posting this information I have had many people tell me of their success solving ant problems with this substance, when nothing else worked. We found later that small black ants would not eat the aspartame. It was determined that if you mixed it with apple juice, they would quickly take it back to the nest, and all would be dead within 24 hours, usually. I have found that sometimes it will kill them, and sometimes it does not. Not sure why, may be slightly different species of ants or something. Fire Ants We got our first fire ant hill about 2 weeks ago. My son had tried Terro Outdoor ant poison on some hills near his house some time ago without success, so I figured I would give aspartame a try. I opened 4 packets and scattered the aspartame over the mound. The ants seemed to be ignoring it, but a storm came in in about an hour, and washed it all away. So the following week I tried again. Once again they ignored it for 24 hours although some very small black ants found it and begun carrying it off. Then we got a light rain. It was just a sprinkle, enough to moisten the Nutrasweet and ground, but not enough to wash it away. They went crazy, hundreds of them grabbing it and taking it back into the mound. When I checked the mound 2 days later, there was no sign of the fire ants. I even dug the mound up some, and still saw none of them. How does it Work Aspartame is neuropoison. It most likely kills the ants by interfering with their nervous system. It could be direct, like stopping their heart, or something more subtle like killing their sense of taste so they can't figure out what is eatable, or smell, so they can't follow their trails, or mis-identify their colonies members, so they start fighting each other. Not sure what causes them to end up dieing, just know that for many species of ants it will kill the quickly and effectively. As with any poison I recommend wearing gloves and washing any skin areas that come in contact with this poison, and avoid getting in your mouth, despite anything the labeling may indicate. I suspect it will work for other insects such as yellow jackets as well, but have not tested that yet.

" - Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine (460-357 BC). ---- Water or Coke? WATER 1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. 2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger. 3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%. 4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study. 5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue. 6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. 7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page. 8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer. And now for the properties of COKE 1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident. 2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days 3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the " real thing " sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous China. 4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola. 5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion. 6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes. 7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy. 8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. 9. It will also clean road haze from your windshield. For Your Information 1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis. 2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly corrosive materials. 3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years! Now the question is, would you like a coke or a glass of water? back to the index ---- Raw Family's All New, Stupendously Magnificent, Outstandingly Exceptional, Green Spinach Soup Recipe from Victoria Boutenko and family at www.RawFamily.com 3 Small avocados (or one extra large) 2 Red Bell Peppers 1/2 Bunch cilantro 1/2 Bunch Organic Spinach 2 Small lemons (without seeds) 3 Cups pure water 1 Small jalapeno pepper 1/2 Teaspoon Celtic sea salt (optional) Put all the ingredients in a Vita-Mix blender and blend well using the tamper.

The judge listened to their baby's doctor and listened to the results of their psychological tests and the therapists who have monitored their family visitations and got word to everyone that they will be able to have weekend visits from their children and that things are moving so quickly because they are such good parents. The baby is so healthy, although petit, and Lamoy is fixing food for the pediatrician and his wife. As I told them, the more people who are touched by their lives, and the more people who eat their food and who get to know them, the more they will be loved and supported. That their baby was born with a birth defect (diGeorge syndrome) is nothing that anyone can undo and so they are moving on to family reconciliation because everyone knows how nutritious their food is for their family. Bless everyone who has helped them financially. They looked at a van today. Perhaps someone has an old vehicle large enough for 4 children out there that they are not using?
