Can the 100% Raw Food Diet be Harmful? - article by Matt Monarch
Please don't misunderstand my message here about whether eating raw can be "harmful". I believe that if 99% of the population went on a 100% Raw Food Diet, they would become younger and younger for many years, as they have so much to 'undo'. I personally started the 100% Raw Food Diet at a young age (around 24) and I have been on a 100% Raw Food Diet for 10 Years as I write this. Throughout these 10 years, I have eaten mainly simple whole foods, (fresh vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, seaweeds) since the beginning. CONSISTENCY is KEY... Meanwhile, I also cleansed my colon on a periodic basis with colonics and/or enemas.
Whole foods, vegetable juice, cleansing the colon frequently PLUS consistency, have brought me to a state of extreme "cleanliness" at a cellular level.
This is what my current daily intake looks like....
Some form of Vitamin C (camu powder or a bit of grapefruit or orange juice)
16 - 32 oz green vegetable juice with carrot juice
Lunch... Is my FAVORITE apple meal... Recipe is as follows (Yes. I usually eat it EVERY DAY... AND... I LOVE IT!!! Dr. Norman Walker did the same thing with a smaller quantity of a similar banana meal and lived to be around 100. He also obtained a variety of nutrients from all the different juices he drank and salads he ate.)
Ok... The apple meal recipe:
2 medium-big apples
2-3 tablespoons of Nut/Seed Butter (either Tahini, Black Tahini, Pine Nut Butter, or Hazelnut butter {Variety}) Food Process the above ingredients together until they are all mixed well.
1 handful of purple mulberries
1 handful of goji berries Swirl these berries into the meal with a spoon.
3 - 4 tablespoons of ground flax Throw the flax on top, without mixing it in. It's like a topping... YUM!!!
16 - 32 oz green vegetable juice with carrot juice
Salad in a big bowl... AND...
The Recipe...
8oz Lettuce to fill a big bowl
1 - 1.5 oz of dulse
sugar snap peas cut up into slices
handful of fresh sprouts
5 Tomatoes Combine all of the above in a big bowl and set aside.
Food Process together:
1/2 avocado
1 clove of garlic
2 - 3 tablespoons of Nut/Seed Butter
1 cucumber Food process the above to create your dressing, then stir/mix this dressing into the salad in the big bowl and enjoy!
Depending on your perspective, these two meals a day might either seem like a very small amount or a massive amount - I hear differing opinions on this all the time. Let's be clear: if 99% of the human population were to eat this way, they would regenerate for years to come. When you are truly only eating Raw Foods and nothing else, a big salad like this is EASY to demolish... Trust me... ;) Additionally, the longer you eat 100% Raw, the cleaner and more efficient your body becomes and the less food you need to maintain high energy levels. The way that I currently eat may not work for you and also wouldn't likely have worked so well for me at other stages of my raw journey. I have been on this path for 10 years and require less food now. When I first started eating raw, I ate much larger quantities than I do now.
So... I have been doing this for 10 years. As I discuss at length in Raw Success, if you start eating this kind of way at a young age like I did, from a relatively healthy background, then the process of recovery and balancing out is usually RAPID compared to someone who starts a Raw Food Diet later in life. In actuality, the above intake that I am currently eating is really a little too much for me physically and it takes a bit of a toll on my body. My body has become so "clean" now that it begs me to take my intake to the "next level", i.e. reduce the quantities I consume. Because of my cellular "cleanliness", the way I currently eat is kind of like being on the Standard American Diet for someone who is not as "clean" as me... Their diet is aging them and mine (to a lesser degree, most likely) is aging me.
People I consider "successful" Raw Food Pioneers include Dr. Norman Walker and Dr. Ann Wigmore. They both ate 100% raw and periodically cleansed their colons. They ate such small amounts of food it could boggle your mind. When you live this type of lifestyle for a long period of time like Norman Walker and Ann Wigmore, for ULTIMATE health, it seems key to reduce your intake down to very little, just like they did. From my experience, I can see and sense why they ate so little. After decades of doing this, you become so "clean" that it's like your body pushes you forward and forward to eat less and less food. If you don't listen to the messages from your body, in the long run, you may see repercussions with your health. It is certainly not my intention to scare you, as the BENEFITS of living thi!
s way can be truly miraculous and I imagine I could probably easily live to be 90 - 94 on the above diet, all other circumstances notwithstanding. What we're really talking about here is going all the way in the long-run (No RUSH!) just like Ann Wigmore, Anastasia, and Dr. Norman Walker. The potential this can help us to explore is ENORMOUS! The blessed spiritual heightened lives these people experience(d) are to dream for... and I believe that we as a species are capable of living WELL PAST the Century Mark.
I am at a point where I feel called in this direction of reducing food intake now, for ultimate health. Although, as stated above, 99% of the population would surely go through massive regeneration for many decades if they ate the way I currently do, for me personally, at this stage in my journey, this way of eating is aging me - slowly but surely. My body just doesn't want these quantities of food anymore. Dr. Norman Walker ate a couple of VERY SMALL meals each day. In my book Raw Success I go into great detail about Walker's diet. Ann Wigmore, I have heard, generally consumed five sips of energy soup, five times a day and drank wheatgrass juice. That was it!!! Though he's not 100% Raw, Viktoras Kulvinskas has also discovered that eating the same thing every day in the same exact small quantities helps him feel his best. I believe it took Viktoras many years to rea!
ch this point and it is now working really well for him.
Quick note: In my book Raw Success, I discuss that when you eat small meals consistently like this, there is very little margin for error. I wrote about a man who would eat one 12oz meal per day. He went up to 16oz for a few days and almost died because he had been doing the 12oz meal for many decades and his body could not easily accommodate the extra ounces. I recommend getting my book Raw Success and also Hilton Hotema's book Man's Higher Consciousness. These combined will give you a DEEP understanding about these concepts. (If these concepts interested you, then I suspect you will not be able to put down 'Man's Higher Consciousness', by Hilton Hotema. If people everywhere read this book and understood this information, I sense that major posit!
ive shifts would take place.)
My current food choices are of course not a "life or death" situation - I am not dealing with any acute conditions that might urge me to follow my body's promptings to eat less immediately. For now, this is much more a question of tweaking my personal intake to the optimal levels over time and in truth, I am not ready to make the kind of commitment Ann Wigmore or Norman Walker did QUITE YET. I would say though that within the next 4 - 7 years, this will all very likely unfold for me. Just not quite yet... ;)

Bentonite Clay Baths and Topical Applications
have been used since ancient times to detoxify
our skin by pulling toxic substances and metals
out through the pores of our body's largest organ.
Clay Baths are also a wonderful way
to complement the exfoliation of our skin.
Simply add to a warm bath, then settle in for
a truly luxurious experience. You'll feel rejuvenated
and your skin will thank you!
NET WEIGHT 8 OZ.
Clay Bath Mixing Instructions: Slowly add 1-2 cups
of powder into bath & soak 20 to 30 minutes.
Topical Mixing & Application Instructions: Mix one part
clay to two parts water (example: 1/4 cup clay
to 1/2 cup water) in a plastic or glass
container. Stir with a wooden or plastic spoon
(do not use metal). Let stand for several hours
until gelled.
Facials: We recommend a medium to light
coating over the face and neck area. Allow it
to dry 15-30 minutes. Apply warm wet towels to the face
and neck area to loosen the clay and then wash
the clay off thoroughly. The clay works exceptionally
well with acne or wrinkles.
Body Wrap: Apply clay to body. Leave on the body
45 minutes to 1 hour for best detox results and
then shower.
(You may wrap up in a sheet if you like.) If
possible, drying outside in the sun is perfect.
The clay can be used 2-3 times a week or
as needed, depending upon the sensitivity of the skin.
Ingredients: All Natural Calcium Bentonite (Montmorillonite) Green Clay.

The Organic Food Guide, by Steve Meyerowitz
Since the U.S. Department of Agriculture put into place the long-awaited National Organic Program, American consumers have finally had a set of nationwide standards for organic foods. But new standards raise new questions. What is organic food? What's the relationship between organic food and food labeled with terms like all-natural, free-range, hormone-free, and locally grown? Are organic, made with organic, and 100% organic foods different? And most importantly, is organic food better for me and my family? This handy guide provides a thorough but non-technical introduction to organic food. Some topics of special interest include product labeling, health and nutrition, environmental quality, and pricing.

Product Review - Certified Organic Jojoba Oil in a Glass Jar...
This Certified Organic Jojoba Oil is the BEST Jojoba Oil on the Planet!!! I discovered it at the Farmer's Market in Ojai, and these two videos below state it ALL... Enjoy...
You can order this 'Certified Organic Jojoba Oil in a glass jar' by clicking HERE!!! You can also order 'Beauty by Nature', by Brigitte Mars by clicking HERE.
This is the Purest Jojoba Oil that you will ever come across. Straight from the La Ronna Jojoba Company, this Jojoba oil is Certified Organic by CCOF.
This particular Jojoba oil is cared for from the field to the bottle. They go to GREAT lengths to assure a pure quality product. It is bottled in glass because jojoba penetrates plastic, absorbing it and in the process degrading its quality. The farm where this jojoba is raised is located near the Southeast boundary of Joshua Tree National Park.
Jojoba oil is very similar to Sperm Whale oil with numerous applications from industrial, to pharmaceutical, to cosmetic uses. Jojoba has Vitamin E naturally and penetrates all layers of the skin. Used consistently, calluses will slough off, dry areas become soft and supple. It has eased, and in some cases cleared acne, eczema, and psoriasis conditions.
Add a little to your shampoo. Jojoba works at the hair roots, enhancing a healthy scalp. Use the oil for make-up removal, shaving, sunburn/windburn relief, cuticle care, massage and bath oil. Use sparingly as a little spreads a long way. Jojoba has an SPF of 3 to 5. Apply 10 minutes before going out into the sun as a natural "sun protector".
The Revitalive Plan
Each and every day of our new 30-Day weight loss programme 'The RevitaLive Plan', you get an INSPIRATIONAL video from either Angela, Kevin, Annmarie and/or I. 30 different topics on 30 different days.

Shining The Spotlight - Kate Magic Wood
KATE... Kate. Kate. Kate...
What can I say about our dear friend Kate Magic?... It ALL started about... 4 Years ago. Little Angela Stokes had just released over 160 pounds. On a NEW fun-seeking adventure, Angela came across Kate Wood's online company, Raw Living.
Not long later, Angela moved in with Kate in Brighton and started helping out with Kate-s business and child-care for her three young sons. This was the same time during which I met Angela online, while she was seeking raw websites to help sell her BRAND NEW e-Books ;). This is when I scooped up our young little 'up and coming', STAR Angela, just as she was starting to bloom... Well...ahem... this shining the spotlight episode is not about Angela and I... it is about Kate. You can view the entire 'Love Story' of how Angela and I first met by clicking HERE. Incidentally though, from the very first time Kate looked at my picture online, she apparently told Angela "this guy is your soul mate". :O She's very tuned-in, Ms. Magic...
KATE... Kate. Kate. Kate...
Kate is indeed multi-talented and endlessly creative... she is a Hip HoT DJ, MiSs MaGiC lightworker, RaW Chocolatier, SuPeR FoOd ChEf, Mommy of three HEALTHY boys, Young and Dating, Business Owner, Busy Busy, Author of FOUR Books, Raw Food Speaker and Educator, Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Bar, & Super Food Creating GODDESS! WHOAAAAAA!!!!!
Sigh... I got tired just stating all that!!!
Kate's been eating raw for around 16 years I believe and has been one of the leading Raw Food Pioneers in the United Kingdom for many years! She is the author of three 'Best-Selling' Raw Food Recipe Books, which are all available HERE.
Her latest book Raw Magic is the FIRST and ONLY Super Food Recipe book. It's insane how popular this book is on our website. We are the only US company currently carrying this book and in fact, if you look closely, you will spot Angela and I on the back cover of the book! One of Kate's Specialties is Raw Chocolate. She is one of the Leading Raw Chocolate CAKE and Bar distributors in the UK. Check out these magnificent Raw Chocolate Cake creations just above here!!!
Whenever Angela and I go over to Kate's to eat, we usually leave feeling "BUZZZZZZZZED" on these POWERFUL, Irresistible 'Raw Chocolate Super Food Cakes' that Kate creates!!! They are ABSOLUTELY INSANELY GOOD!!!!
Kate has a special place in the hearts of both Angela and I. It feels like we have known her forever and she is like "Family" to us... And the same goes of course for her three lovely boys Reuben, Zachary, and... Ethan (the one sticking his tongue out... ;)
If you watch raw videos on YouTube, then you'll probably have picked up that Kate is really good friends with Shazzie... I think they are attached at the hip, at least energectically!!! You can check out their antics together by clicking HERE.
I don't know how Kate does it!!!... She currently divides her time between being with her children, private consultations, and working on her FOURTH and FIFTH book "Ecstatic Beings" (co-authored with Shazzie) and "88 - the Untold Story of a Revolution" (about the house music revolution in London in the late 80s). She is also developing a fledgling music career.
WE LOVE YOU KATE!!!... AND...
Thank you Kate, for making a difference!!!
~Many Blessings to you from The Raw Food World~ Thank you for continuing to let us serve you.
We wish you and those you love, the very best of everything!
