Shining the Spotlight - Mike Perrine - Must Read (Blood Gases Discussed)
Festivals!

Hello Everyone! I just arrived in Iceland!!! Yeehaw! There is a lot of information in this Newsletter - there's so much I want to talk about. So much fun stuff happened during my recent stay in NYC. First off, I did an interview on Tribeca Radio, which I HIGHLY enjoyed and would recommend listening to. The hosts are Mike Perrine and Donna Perrone. You'll see Mike's name popping up throughout this newsletter, as he was the colon hydrotherapist of the session I recently experienced and wrote about below. Mike also features in the 'Shining the Spotlight' section below (Blood Gases discussed - must read Shining the Spotlight).
In this interview, we went DEEP... REAL DEEP!. They practically had me tearing up, as I went into my emotional past in relation to transitioning to a 100% Raw Food Diet. I also talked about 'eye gazing' meditation technique, seeing energy and so much more. When you click the link HERE, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click 'Vitality Radio' on the right hand side. Then you can just scroll down to my interview at the very top of the page.

We got Raw Sprouted Chia Flour into the store!!! Talk about a Nutrition POWERHOUSE. You can learn more about this amazing new item in the 'New Products' Section. I am also very excited about ALL the MULBERRY MADNESS going on in this Newsletter!!! In addition to carrying those amazing dried Turkish Mulberries, we got Dried PURPLE MULBERRIES too!!! Also, we will be adding the white dried mulberries to the 'At Cost' specials list, which still includes Goji Berries from earlier this month.

I had intended to talk about my opinions on water in this newsletter, but due to the amount of info here, I will actually save that for my next Newsletter in August.

As I have written a lot lately, my mom is looking PHENOMENAL. She probably won't be too happy about me using this photo, but I wanted you to see her 'Barbie Doll' Face in her 60s. It all began when she started to follow Dr. Fred Bisci's Intermediate Diet without EVER veering from it. I was talking with my mom the other day and she passionately said, "Matt, I really wish I would have started eating healthy like this earlier in life." My response will most likely surprise you... I said, "Mom, I actually feel that you are better off starting now, later in life, rather than earlier."

Hmmmm??? WHY... would I say this???

'Becoming younger' happens when you eat fewer kinds and less quantity of foods. In other words, when you eat food that is less obstructive (damaging) to the body, you detox on a cellular level and 'become younger'. In my last article, 'Obstruction', I mentioned that there comes a point, however, after the body has thrown off its major load of toxins and has healed to a considerable degree, that the process of 'becoming younger' stops and ageing begins. It was during my mid-20s that I crossed over to a 100% Raw Lifestyle. Six years into my raw journey, I had already released most of my 'worst' toxicity and that's when I stopped becoming younger. Taking youthfulness to the next level would require one to eat less food, but as I talk about in my book 'Raw Success', that decision can often have surprisingly negative consequences for our lifespan and health in the long-run.

The effects of Raw Living have fascinated me since I began this journey and I started to watch other Raw Foodists with eager curiosity, in hopes of learning from their experiences. Often, I would meet men and women who started their Raw journey much later in life than me. I began to notice something strange. Their process of 'becoming younger' showed no signs of slowing, even after 10-15 years of being Raw... they were still healing, becoming more energized and more beautiful.

I discovered that the reason seemed to be this: They had more 'damage' and toxins to clean up from the added years of less-than-optimal living, so they were enjoying a longer process of becoming younger.

To illustrate this fact, there is a story that I want to share with you. Dr. Fred Bisci's mom had a stroke at the age of 84, and her doctors told her she had only a few months to live. Fred convinced his mom to improve her diet under his guidance and his sister's supervision. She recovered swiftly and lived to the ripe old age of 101! Her process of becoming younger lasted longer than mine. Already at death's door, the only place to go was UP! Fred's mom experienced so much extra life and energy because there was a huge amount of cleaning to be done. Not only did she evade death for quite some time, but she also pushed on to live years past many of our Raw Pioneers.

Someone who starts on this path young and stays Raw reaches a point of 'extreme cleanliness' early. After a few years they have already cleansed, regenerated, and become younger. The body quickly repairs a large portion of the damage done from the previous years of processed foods and substances. Additionally, they can more rapidly reach the point where they're cleansing deeper on a cellular level, compared to someone who starts later in life (like Fred's mom), making them even more sensitive. At this level of 'immaculate' inner health, the long-term Raw Food Eater is more susceptible to our Earth's current polluted environment, toxic chemicals, and 'not so ideal' food choices.

Ok, so, my Loved and Respected Elders... how about it? Are you ready to step up and begin to consistently eat an Intermediate Cooked Whole Food Diet or a 100% Raw Food Diet? Do you want to increase your lifespan by a minimum of two decades???

If so, I send you all my best wishes for your journey of 'becoming younger'... The information below is for education only and is not meant to diagnose, prescribe, or treat illness. It is valuable to seek the advice of an alternative health care professional before making any changes. I would love for you to make an appointment with Dr. Fred Bisci at 718-979-7950, for the most accurate information possible.

I know that Raw Cacao gets a lot of flack from a lot of people. I generally have a positive outlook on Raw Chocolate and I am beginning to see my views lighten up on it even more... If someone is 'down' a lot and generally has a lack of energy, a moderate amount of cacao may be beneficial for them. We all know that having energy is an important aspect to the happiness of an individual. I feel that as long as it is done occasionally and not 'abused', it could be a great thing... Well... It's all relative... For example, if a cocaine addict were going to quit cocaine and replace it by 'overdoing' Raw Cacao, then that would be a major improvement in my opinion and I would love to see that.

Dear Matt:
I enjoy your newsletters very much, thank you! I just want to ask you do you know of any successes with permanently clearing viruses, i.e.; herpes from the body by doing raw. And if so, in what manner was the diet done and were any other modalities used, like superfoods, herbs, etc?
Thank you in advance for your answer.

First off, I am so sorry that this is a concern for you. I can only imagine how this affects your life. I have met numerous people with Genital Herpes, and it seems to CONSUME their entire being. I feel drawn to suggest that ultimately it is all going to work out well for you and it !DOES NOT! matter that you have Genital Herpes!!! This can be resolved. If you can get into your center and relax into being your normal self, without feeling TOTALLY consumed by this, it need not affect your Love Life. If a woman TRULY falls in Love with you for who you are, THE HERPES WILL NOT MATTER!!! I promise you that!!! As for handling the physical side of this matter, please read on for more suggestions?

All disease is the SAME. It is waste trying to leave the body and a lot of the time it will leave via the place of least resistance. For example, for someone with Psoriasis, it will come out of the skin as Psoriasis patches, for someone with acne, it will release out of the face and for someone with Herpes, it will come out in blisters on the genitals.
My good friend from NYC has a pretty bad case of psoriasis and she has been on a 100% Raw Food Diet for a good amount of time. Remember, when you go on a 100% Raw Food diet, you are going to pour out acidic toxins on a cellular level. If you don't keep up with these endogenous poisons by doing colon hydrotherapy, there may even be a greater chance that a Psoriasis or Herpes Outbreak may happen.

Although it is not yet documented, I believe there is a way to get rid of any virus COMPLETELY... However, it can be a very 'dangerous' method (which I am not going to talk about here) and you would have to become so clean on a cellular level that it could kill you if you don't know what you are doing.

We will take a gentler approach here. In my opinion, the key to limiting Herpes Outbreaks to nothing or almost nothing is as follows.

Don't eat any processed foods. You can do a 100% Raw Food diet or an advanced 'intermediate' diet, which includes steamed vegetables, whole grains such as millet, quinoa, and buckwheat.

Do Colon Hydrotherapy on a monthly basis. When you improve your diet in any way, you cleanse deeply on a cellular level and colonics will help pull the toxins out. If you don't do this, there is a great chance that in your case, whenever there is an excess of toxins in the body, it will leave through the genitals. If you find yourself having an outbreak, it is key to schedule a colonic ASAP. The body is ALWAYS cleansing, that's what it does, and it cleanses more on a ?clean? diet, therefore, it is key to practice colon hydrotherapy on a periodic basis, to keep up with the toxicity being released.

Take Dr. Fred Bisci's Therapeutic Enzymes on an empty stomach every day.

Drink Green Vegetable juices to help alkalinize your system.

STAY CONSISTENT WITH YOUR DIET! It is KEY to eat the same kinds and quantities of food each day, if you want to live with optimal health. When you eat a better diet like this, you become locked into that particular diet. Eating any more than that diet will result in extra waste in the body, which may possibly result in an outbreak. I am happy to find myself at this point on my raw journey eating the same kind of things every day. Well... I switch up the types of fats, nuts, seeds, fruits, and vegetables, of course, but I always seem to be eating approximately the same quantities at about the same times, day-to-day.

Don't overdo the fruit. Too much fruit may result in excess waste and toxins being stirred up in the body, resulting in an outbreak.

For well over a year now I have been using a 6 quart enema bag for colon cleansing, thinking that I personally could do as good of a job as going to get a colonic. Although enemas are certainly still beneficial, a recent colonic experience BLEW MY MIND! While I was in NYC, I did a colonic with Mike Perrine (see the Shining the Spotlight Section below for more info), who in my opinion is the Top Gravity Colon Therapist out there. This colonic CHANGED MY LIFE!!!

Ok, this might be a little TMI for some people, but I could not believe the acid that POURED out of me towards the end of my session. As soon as I finished this colonic, I could feel masses of oxygen flowing through my entire body. It gave my hands a feeling of more sensitivity as I used them and touched things. I could not believe it. I looked in the mirror and my face had 'become younger'. Oxygen had spread throughout my entire body. My tissue quality improved and my muscles were bulging out of my skin. I thought my throat and sinuses were already clear before this colonic, but afterwards I could not believe the clearing that took place. Acid just poured out of me!!!! My entire sinus cavity was completely vacant of mucus and the vibration in my body was insane.

As Mike and I were walking around the city after the colonic, I told him that I feel this is the way we were ABSOLUTELY meant to feel. It felt impossible to not just fall into deep meditation and see the 'psychedelic' WORLD around me. Doing Colon Hydrotherapy in conjunction with a TRUE & Simple 100% Raw Food Diet has the potential to result in absolute bliss. I just WISH that YOU could have jumped into my body at that time and felt this experience for yourself... I am CONVINCED that waste in the system harbours negative energies and emotions within the body. I was void of all waste and filled with absolute LOVE. There were no 'negative' feelings in my being. It was absolute BLISS! My strength and confidence skyrocketed. My digestion has never felt better, small raw cravings were diminished, and it is even easier now than ever to control my appetite. My brain became SHARPER and just so C L E A R... I had so much energy, that I felt like running to Brooklyn and then over to Staten Island!

Why would I have so much acid and waste in my system? IT IS BECAUSE I AM 100% RAW!!!!!!!!!!!!! Most people seem to expect the exact opposite - that a 100% Raw Food Eater would not need to do colonics, because they only eat Raw Foods. The waste and acidity in my system is due to how cleansing the 100% Raw Food Diet is, as stated in my article entitled, The Missing Link on the 100% Raw Food Diet. In my opinion, it is key to do colon hydrotherapy on a periodic basis, in order to succeed in the long-run on a 100% Raw Food Diet. I know of many 100% Raw Food Eaters who are not doing well. On the other hand, there are many people who are trying to go 100% Raw and "cheat" every once in awhile. They may paradoxically seem to be doing better with their health than a 100% Raw Food Eater, ESPECIALLY if they practice Colon Hydrotherapy. There are a few reasons for this.

When you 'cheat' on the 100% Raw Food Diet, you are holding yourself back from becoming more sensitive. Additionally, you are holding back your body from throwing off more acid endogenous poisons into the blood stream. That acid can be extremely uncomfortable, like a drug addict going through withdrawals. No wonder why some people don't stay 100% Raw. So... As a 100% Raw Food Eater you cleanse more on a cellular level and more endogenous poisons are entering the bloodstream. In essence, you become more sensitive to toxins and there are more toxins inside the body at the SAME TIME! Although a person may not feel the ultimate physical vibrational bliss that they could experience with a balanced 100% Raw Diet, a high % Raw Diet may be better for most people.

I feel the main concern for the TRULY 100% Raw Food Eater is their health in the Long-Run. If I hadn't done this colonic and instead sat with that acid in my system for another 20 years, I am convinced that I would age just as fast or even faster than others, as my body is so sensitive now. Additionally, the longer you live on a 100% Raw Food Diet, the more you detoxify poisons at a cellular level, the cleaner you become, and the more sensitive you become to ALL toxins. The unparalleled sensitivity of a 100% Raw Food Eater in the Long-Run should, I feel, be the utmost concern. Not only are you more sensitive to toxins, but also you are more 'locked in' to your consistent diet and veering away from that can cause harm to your system. Some people run into problems on the Raw Diet 40 years down the line. They may be thinking their Raw Diet is the 'cause' of the problem (whereas it is in fact most likely acidic toxins continually circulating in the body, which are not being efficiently released). Such people sometimes then go 'backwards', by eating cooked food, which has the potential to result in a Long-Term Raw Food Eater's demise. Someone who has been raw for 40 years is highly sensitive, and jumping out of a long-term consistent routine that their body has adapted to can be very shocking to the system. If you are truly 100% Raw, I recommend you try doing a colonic once a month and see the difference it makes to your overall health and vitality.

Don't mistake not feeling well after a colonic as an indication that they are not good for you. Most people are very clogged with gas, acid and other toxins, when they do a colonic. It is like unclogging the sink and a NECESSARY deep outpouring of waste from the body may give you bad breath or maybe even result in you feeling sick. This can actually be considered a good thing and if this happens, it may indeed be advisable to do another colonic. When you don't feel well, it generally means that you are becoming cleaner and 'evolving' to the next level - it is a necessary part of the process and not something to be afraid about.

There is no doubt in my mind that when you enjoy a Balanced 100% Raw Food Diet in conjunction with colon hydrotherapy, this it is the ultimate in terms of health, for the human organism. It is understandable that if you choose to do this, you will do a lot of cleansing as a result and you will also have many ups and downs. However, when you want to rise to the occasion when you are around others, you will flourish with flying colors, as your energy and aura reveal an unfathomable light. You will notice that you are actually feeling better than ever before and seem to be enjoying much more vibrant health than most others around you.

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

After being in NYC, I stopped being consistent about not eating food after 2pm daily. I found I felt more 'pressured' to eat at certain times. I feel that in the future, when I am settled somewhere again, I may begin to eat that way once more, as I was very much enjoying it. I learned a lot from this experience and it has also trained me to eat my heavier meal earlier in the day and eat lighter in the evening time.

Mike Perrine is an extremely talented Gravity Colon Hydrotherapist in NYC. He has known Dr. Fred Bisci for quite some time now and has worked on a lot of his patients. I just met Mike Perrine in the flesh for the first time while I was in NYC this past week. In the past, I have emailed and talked to him on occasion. I have known of Mike for many years now. I've always had a STRONG interest to meet him. I've always felt this 'family-like' connection to Mike, even though we haven't communicated much. His vast knowledge, positive actions, expressive Love & Care, and his Colonic-giving-abilities all more than qualify his unsurpassed reputation in the health field.

For good reason, it seems Mike's Colon Hydrotherapy appointment book is packed out far in advance, due to his popular demand. Somehow he finds a way to fit in 'important' appointments for any person really in need. Of course, he works with the 'Best of the Best' Colon Hydrotherapists in his office. Therefore, if you can't get in for an appointment with Mike, you can be assured that you will still have an extremely effective session with one of his colleagues. I personally intend to travel to NYC to do more Colon Hydrotherapy sessions with Mike, in conjunction with a few Liver Cleanses.

I learned so much from Mike on the day that I spent with him. If you could hear the amount of MIRACULOUS recovery stories that this man has witnessed, I sense you would book yourself in for a Colon Hydrotherapy session MONTHLY! In my opinion, Colon Hydrotherapists are the best Nutritionists out there. They have a deep understanding of what is happening to people's health, due to what they witness daily on the colonic table. Additionally, they sometimes understand or even have working knowledge of the Blood Gases, which can be key in helping someone heal from degenerative diseases. I asked Mike, "Do you believe in 'The Blood Gas Theory'?" He looked at me with a smile and said, "I do not consider that a theory... It is ABSOLUTE TRUTH." He told me many stories that blew my mind. He told me one story of a man who had just finished his colonic and his inflated 'gas filled' stomach shrunk back down to nothing. Mike turned away to refill the tank for just one more fill and when he came back, the man's stomach was inflated again. If you read the Blood Gas article HERE, you will understand that through the process of 'Gas Diffusion', the stomach inflated again from gases that are embedded deep in the cells. I discuss another story about a person?s ring falling off their finger in The Blood Gas Theory article.

Mike is also a co-host with Donna Perrone on their popular 'Vitality' Radio Show, which is hosted on Tribeca Radio. Don't let this innocent, talkative 'pretty blonde' Donna fool you. She knows what she is talking about and is a WEALTH of knowledge. You can learn more about her at www.GravityEastVillage.com, by clicking on 'Accent on Wellness'. She has the BEST Raw Food Support group in NYC, in my opinion, so you may want to get on her Newsletter list to receive all the 'Skinny' in NYC. Donna also works with Mike doing colonics at their business.

I was a guest on their radio show this past week, which is now available to listen to online. Beforehand, Mike asked me if he could ask me anything. I love that sort of thing because I don't hide anything and I am an open book. He asked me again, "are you sure?" Laughing in my head, I said "Of course, I am sure!... Go for it!!!"... Woah! He did catch me off guard, which was fun. I later heard some of the questions he had asked other "gurus", such as David Wolfe, and I understood why it can be wise to be wary about his 'can I ask you anything' question. You can listen to my interview now on the show or many other "Raw Gurus" who they have interviewed, including Dr. Fred Bisci, David Wolfe and Viktoras Kulvinskas. Just click HERE, then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click 'Vitality Radio' on the right hand side. Then you can just scroll down and see all the interviews.

After Mike bought me two Norwalk juices from a juice bar, he made sure to take the containers, bring them home, and recycle them. Thank you, Mike. I trust Mike Wholeheartedly, as a friend, colon therapist and even business consultant. You have had such a positive impact on my life and thousands of others.

Thank you Mike for Making a Difference!
