HELLO EVERYONE!!! How about that Rawkathon?!!! WOW!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to EVERYONE who participated. I learned so much from ALL the speakers. I hope you enjoyed it too, if you saw it. I got so much heart-warming feedback about my personal interview that I had difficulty keeping up with email all this last week. I highly recommend purchasing the DVD set of these talks, if you missed the free showings. You can access the DVD sets HERE... And... They are only available until Thursday and then Kevin takes the Rawkathon project down offline. Since I talked about children a lot in my interview, I had many questions in regards to that subject and I answer these Qs in the content below.

There are a few questions that I get from people OVER AND OVER AGAIN. One of those questions is: how can someone stay 100% Raw, living in a colder climate??? How can this be done, without warmer foods? WELL...I am currently living in the UK and it is FrEeZiNg out here!!! Usually I just wear about three layers of clothes, when it is WAY out of control. However, today, I stumbled across an AMAZING extra way to stay warm. We went to a wheatgrass juice bar in the FrEeZiNg weather and they were also selling shots of STRAIGHT Ginger Juice! We jumped on the opportunity. It was one of the craziest experiences I have ever felt. Drinking straight ginger feels a bit extreme, but I definitely want to do it again, just to get that experience again. I felt REALLY HIGH afterwards and I was warm from the inside for the rest of the day, despite the 40 degree F weather. Wow! Ginger Juice!!! I recommend it?

Well... Here we go... Please Enjoy another ~Jam Packed~ Newsletter this week!

Matt..
your rawkathon video is so GREAT... you're too funny about durian... i can't be mature about my trigger food- mulberries. CANNOT stop. i get the same look on my face that you got when he asked you about the taste of durian.
do you know why trigger foods like that are ones we shouldn't eat... rather than our bodies telling us that the food is giving us something we're lacking (i.e. iron or magnesium in mulberries??) This question is based only on healthy whole foods, not applicable to someone craving cheese or a big mac, fyi!! ;))
For instance sometimes i crave dulse like mad , eat large quantities for a few days and then it will stop for a bit. . . thoughts?

Hey Jenny! Sorry about the mulberry picture above, I just couldn't resist encouraging you to drool all over your keyboard. Yes, I have had a lot of positive feedback from the Rawkathon interview that I did. It's been CRAZY!!! Yes, I feel too that of course there is something very valid about the concept of 'eat what your body wants'. However, our mulberry and durian addictions may be a bit different... If my body needed durian nutrients, I would just need one or two pieces to get what I need. I feel that we need a lot less food than most of us think, or are willing to actually consume regularly.

Overdoing even these 'healthy' Raw Foods I feel hinders the body and most of that food is not utilized. From my perspective, most humans at this point eat food to stop the feelings of detoxification. For example, the SAD eater craves cheese or a 'Big Mac'. They are addicted to those toxic 'foods' and when they stop intaking them, they detoxify and their body wants their 'Big Mac' fix to stop the detox, while at the same time getting stimulated. Although not as damaging as the SAD cooked/processed foods, it is the same situation with Raw Foods. If a raw foodist goes on a Water Fast, they will most likely go through withdrawals as they detox and want the raw foods they were previously eating. For example, I noticed that I was eating a few tablespoons of pine nut butter every single day for weeks. When I stopped eating it, I practically tasted it in my mouth as I detoxed it. At the same time, I started to lower my fat intake on the 100% Raw Food Diet and the experience of the fat detox was extreme for me, for many weeks.

I sometimes eat a mass of dulse too. I overdo it. My body doesn't need it all but I do it anyway. My partner Angela explains a lot about these kinds of emotional eating patterns and how to release them in her book 'Raw Emotions'.
It may also interest you to hear that an experiment around overeating was done on apes. They gave one group of apes an unlimited supply of bananas and they regulated another group with a smaller amount of bananas per day. The ones who had an unlimited supply ate more than their bodies needed, became diseased and died at a younger age. If we follow our intense desires around food, it may not always be the best thing.

I LOVED listening to your Rawkathon interview, thank you for the colon hydrotherapy info. At the very end of your Interview, Thank you for offering the energy of the "Will to go for it".
BTW - When you mentioned "Bad Investments" in the Rawkathon, the houses weren't "a bad investment" in the sense of your fault. It was pushed on us by the people in power. My husband and I are losing our third home. I am a real estate broker, even we were duped!
One Q if you get a chance I am breastfeeding my 23 month old and been doing green smoothies for a month, really want to transition to raw vegan completely but worried about detoxing into the milk. From my understanding of what I heard you said, would it be better for me to wean her to goat's milk now? I will start the colon hydrotherapy right away.
THANK YOU!!!!

Awww... Thank you so much Andrea. Your lovely comments mean a lot to me.

About your question. Your intuition I feel is everything here. I feel that it would definitely be best to favor your baby's health over your own detox, if you must choose one or the other. If you feel that your baby should still be on breast milk, then I would not take that away. Cleansing the colon will certainly be a great aid for removing the toxins from your body. In my opinion, it is of course possible to go raw while breast-feeding, if you choose to: ideally you would just be sure to be careful and pay close attention to what you are doing and your baby's responses. One idea is to maybe just eliminate the next most damaging foods from your diet (Refined Sugars & Processed Starches) COMPLETELY and take it from there. There is no need to rush and make a big jump into being 100% raw, if you are still eating many other foods. Each permanent step forward/improvement is a big one. I hope that all helps.
Love,
Matt

Thank you so much for the quick reply. How cooool to hear from you in person! My goal was to make it to a minimum two years BF'ing with her since we chose not to vaccinate. Now I can't imagine her wanting to stop, and would prefer to wean naturally. So, thank you for the validation of my intuition, I will be continuing to BF and go slowly. Since I recently learned of the raw food lifestyle I just felt like I was in a catch 22! I want to give her the best quality BM possible... been confused about exactly how to do that while improving my diet and without detoxing into the milk! Right now we are both congested, so I am not sure if we are both detoxing or just have a cold.
If you (or your fiance) come across any raw food diet information that pertains to breastfeeding moms, please forward to me if you can. =) I have bookmarked to check out Dr Bisci's site too, thanks.
In the Rawkathon, I LOVED your vision for your child, that's how I feel about my little Indigo "dolphin child". I'm from Kona, Hawaii, though now in San Diego, and used to take people swimming with dolphins for a living. We swam with a pd of over 200 Hawaiian spinner dolphins while 5.5 months pregnant - they sonared me and were so interactive and fantastic! I highly recommend it when you do get pregnant, it is an experience you will cherish forever. It was pure bliss for all of us! The love and ecstatic joy of it all.... Just wait till you guys are parents - it is the most amazing experience in the world! I am so excited for you and you fiance, and especially your child, to have such wonderful, aware parents to be born to is such a blessing!
Thanks again for your help and living your purpose.
=) Much Love, Andrea

Thank you, Andrea! ...and check out the answer to the next question too - I sense it may help you even further...

Firstable I would like to apologise for my english, but I am spanierd. I am breastfeeding my two daughters, one is three years old, the other one is 17 months old. I am not a raw fooder and I don't know if I will ever be, but I am reading and experimenting with this diet cause I think is the healthiest one and that's what I want for my family. I would like to be at least 80% raw and do colonics and "water days", as I use to do in the past. My doctor has advice me to do not do any of these while I am breastfeeding cause it could be harming for my daughters and also I could loose my milk. She told me to be raw for a few days instead. What do you think of that??, I think you cannot that colonics if you eat food, true?
Thanks

Hi Patricia,
Overall, I give you the same advice as to Andrea above, that it is all about your intuition. In terms of potentially losing your Breast Milk, my main recommendation to counteract that is to DRINK VEGETABLE JUICE. Dr. Fred Bisci once told me that he knew a woman who had a problem producing breast milk, so he recommended her to drink a couple glasses of Vegetable juice daily and I believe that included carrot juice. After she did that, she had so much breast milk, she didn't know what to do with it all!!!

I knew that SOMEONE out there must have successfully transitioned from drinking coffee daily to replacing it with Raw Cacao. Although Raw Cacao may not be ideal for EVERYONE, I am definitely proud and happy for one reader - Amanda - who has taken up Raw Cacao and as a result, eliminated Coffee!!! I see this as a very beneficial use of the Raw Cacao Bean!

Here's Amanda's summary of her journey:

From Coffee to Cacao
A lot of our coffee addictions are psychological. Knowing this lead me
to reframe how I approached it, rather than that warm start to my day
it became the beginning of a cycle of Rolla coaster crashes which
ultimately robbed me of all the good stuff I was putting in my body by
leaching vital nutrients from it and countering the alkalinity of my
diet with acidity. It just stopped making sense once I began to engage

with this new belief. That was the first step. The second was having
something even better than coffee to start my day, cacao! Nothing could
be more perfect. In naked chocolate David Wolfe explains that in Spain
they prefer these drinks to coffee and its not so hard to see why. It's
a great replacement too because if you crave coffee emotionally not
only does it flood your body with feel good molecules, including
neurotransmitters like Serotonin and Dopamine, even a bliss chemical
called Anandinamide, but it gives you a replacement for the oral
fixation/behavioral component of coffee reliance. You don't have to let
go of the appeal of a kick start and you don't have to crash! I love
adding raw maca to mine. This gets me flying! I do a tbs of cacao with
vanilla flavored almond milk and a tsp of maca and I'm good to go. The
appeal of cacao drinks first thing in the morning and the immediate
rush of feel good energy, especially with the maca added, makes the
transition away from coffee quite an easy one, at least for me. You can
add agave nectar as well if you like something sweeter.
Amanda

CONGRATULATIONS AMANDA!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your story like this. I think this testimony may help many people with their coffee addiction... AND... Amanda, you have definitely already motivated one reader, named Thomas Cleary. He is even intending to use your Cacao Recipe EVERY MORNING!!!

OH... I've got some great news everyone... The Raw Chocolate Challenge is officially ON!!!!!!!

Meet Thomas Cleary...
Thomas resides 8000 feet above sea level, in Crestone Colorado, at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. He is a 42 year old science teacher who lives a fairly healthy lifestyle. He eats mainly vegetarian (some fish) and gets out to hike, raft, fish, and rock climb, or just to walk the dog regularly. That said, he also has a long term coffee habit. Each morning he wakes early to do his school lesson planning with 3 stout mugs of coffee and usually another three cups of decaf in a thermos on the way out the door. It doesn't seem to matter what he had for breakfast, he is hungry well before lunch, due to the coffee. Thomas has been wanting to get off coffee for some time and is motivated to take up the RAW Chocolate Challenge!
In addition to teaching school, Thomas runs a home based business, recycling old rock-climbing ropes into beautiful and durable door mats, dog leashes and toys, and more. Thomas weaves and meticulously adjusts every Retied Rope Rug himself. The ropes he uses are steeped in the stories and the memories of the many climbs they have encountered. To contact Thomas, or to check out his environmentally friendly business, go to www.roperugs.com.

Thomas has committed himself to take on the Raw Chocolate Challenge!!! For 90 days, he has agreed to eliminate Coffee and replace it with Raw Cacao.

So, now meet our gracious Master Raw Chocolatier, Linus Gorpe...who is the official Raw Chocolate Donor for this Challenge. Linus has agreed to provide Thomas with a total of 90 Raw Chocolate Bars, freshly made by his business... The Raw Chocolate Company. Linus stated, "'Pitch Dark' is our strongest chocolate bar and 'Twilight' is easier to eat a lot of. I think that 45 of each would be best." Sounds great to me Linus and thank you for your generous donation in the name of raw research! Well there you have it, readers - chocolate challenger successfully matched up with chocolate provider! I recommend supporting Linus Gorpe's business "The Raw Chocolate Company". I feel he definitely DESERVES your business. His company is based in the UK, so I would recommend stock-piling up on his chocolate, so that you get the biggest bang for your buck. He even has a deal that if you buy 11 bars, you get 1 free. You can order his chocolate HERE. Linus, the founder of the company and guiding chocolate jedi-master, decided to explore just what was possible with raw cacao. He evolved into something of a mad scientist, but when he emerged from his chocolate laboratory he had the recipe for his chocolates, and a shining glint in his eye.
That shining glint was what quickly secured the upward growth of The Raw Chocolate Company. Joining the ranks of that other Crazy Raw Foodist Steve Pavlina, Linus invested a great deal of money, time, energy and love into starting The Raw Chocolate Company. Founded in early 2006, the Raw Chocolate Company is now ten people strong and expanding, and is fast becoming a favourite with chocolate lovers all over the world.

Linus!... YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!

I am also going to supply Thomas with all the ingredients for Amanda's Raw Cacao drink At Cost for the 90 days, as he wants/needs it. Thomas wanted me to also mention that cheese and sugar are pretty big in his diet..... He supposes that those will be the next harmful foods to go, as and when he is done releasing the coffee addiction.

Lastly, I would LOVE to include a short, sweet message from Thomas to Linus that I was cc'd on:

Hey Linus,
Thomas Cleary here, you and the Raw Chocolate Co. are sponsoring me on the Chocolate Challenge put together by Matt Monarch. THANK YOU so much. I am looking forward to using your fabulous sounding chocolate to help me quit coffee. I can't wait to get started and your sponsorship is a big part of my motivation. Thanks again, I'll be in touch as things progress!
Sincerely,
Thomas Cleary

Well there you have it, trusty readers!!! I will keep you posted on the Raw Chocolate Challenge as the 90 days goes by...and let's all please send Thomas mighty best wishes for these 3 months...

Hi Matt,
Periodically when I was a SAD eater I would get a pain in my chest that felt like heartburn. Not actually heartburn, but similar. I am finding that over the last month I am feeling the pain more often and pretty much all the time. I know it isn't a heart problem or anything because I have been having the pains for a while. If I was going to have a heart attack I think I would have by now! (I am also only 24) I am concerned because I was expecting that pain to go away, not increase on raw. Could it be a gas thing? Am I eating too many fruits? I have read your stuff regarding too many fruits, but what I don't know is how many is too many? I just want to do right by this poor body of mine, and am struggling with how to do it.
You and Angela have been an inspiration to me and give me strength to keep looking for the answers. I am also inspired because you two are close to my age so I feel the ability to relate to what you both say.
My best,
Dana

Wow Dana! I am really impressed by your perception and insight that the blood gases may be causing the so-called 'Heartburn'. It could also potentially be thousands of different things, however, I think you nailed it right on the HEAD...!!!

When you were first experiencing heartburn before you improved your diet, in my opinion, that was a direct result of eating the foods you were choosing. Back then you ignored your body's warning signs and it went away. Now that you are going raw, you are eliminating all of those food choices that caused the problem and all the stored waste/toxins are being released inside your body, in the form of gas - hence, you are feeling this pain again.

These gases travel all throughout the body and if the gas pressure gets strong in the heart area, it can create something like the feeling of heartburn, but a bit more severe. When this happens to someone, they may experience a lot of fear as they feel their life may be in danger, due to a Heart Attack or something similar. Many months after my mom improved her diet, for example, she went through something very similar and it scared her a lot. She had to catch her breath and sit down often, as she experienced physical pains in her heart.

Dr. St. Louis Estes, author of 'Raw Food and Health', is the only other author I know of who seemed to write about these blood gas concepts. His book is available HERE. I highly recommend reading the chapter entitled "Gases". I recommend reading my book 'Raw Success' first, which goes into great depth about the Blood Gases.

Dr. St. Louis Estes writes:

Palpitation of the heart is very often caused by intestinal gases. I have seen cases suffering from gas pains to such an extent they were forced to go to a hospital for treatment. Every morsel of food or drink which they took into their body was seemingly converted into gas, and the misery which they suffered was intense. Severe contraction of the muscles around the heart and sharp, stubborn pains through the heart areas, which actually shut off the breath for a few seconds, frightened these patients into believing that death was imminent. The natural result of this condition, if neglected, would be a diseased condition of the heart, for the pressure of the gas on the nerves causes surcharging and congestion of the blood vessels and a persistent irritation to the regions afflicted. The great strain on the heart under these circumstances lowers its vitality and changes the heartbeat, making it slower and irregular, or quickened with frequent rapid flutterings and racing throb. Fainting fits are not uncommon to these conditions, for the sudden congestions due to gas around the heart draws the blood from the brain.

Dana, I feel that if you do colon hydrotherapy, there is a chance that you may get instant relief. The internal release of these gases is an ongoing process and I recommend cleansing the colon on a periodic basis, accordingly. Additionally, I of course don't know what you eat, or how you eat, on a daily basis. A lot of people overlap meals, overeat and other habits like that on a raw diet. These foods are powerful and when you mix poor eating habits with these endogenous poisons and gases, a very toxic system may result. This is just another reason why I feel it is important for a Raw Foodist to practice periodic colon cleansing.

I heartily recommend getting those two books that I mentioned above, as this is just the tip of the iceberg that we've covered here, in terms of the effects of the blood gases in the body. One other potentially-related phenomenon is that many people experience an unusual amount of hair loss when they go Raw. Here is another excerpt from Dr. St. Louis Estes' book, in which he gives a possible explanation for this:

Continuous recurrence of this reaction to gas deprives the scalp of its nourishment, and the hair dies and falls out.
('Raw Food and Health', by Dr. St. Louis Estes, pgs 112- 113 )
-----------------------------------
Lastly, we came across an eco-fashion website HERE, which introduces a car that is powered by AIR!!! It's unfortunate that we don't often seem to take the ball and run with this type of technology. We once had an ideal replacement for gas-fuelled cars... the Electric Car. However, owners were forced to give up their cars and they mysteriously 'disappeared'. You may want to check out the film 'Who Killed The Electric Car' to learn more about that story. For now, we're wishing the AIR car a great reception...

Almond Dream Bar & Chia Recipe
Almond Dream Bar

(Warning: my hair is a bit CRAZY in this video as I had just washed it.) Angela asked me to make her 'Almond Dream Bars' on camera so that she could share it with her blog readers. It was fun making the video and the recipe is down below. Note: this recipe is a bit high in coconut oil, therefore, I suggest just eating a small amount at a time.

8 oz of almond butter
7 oz of raw coconut oil
1/4 cup of lucuma powder
Puree these three ingredients together in a food processor.
Add sprouted/dehydrated buckwheat and goji berries to taste.
Pulse them into mixture briefly, just to mix them in.
Place mixture into container(s), then into the fridge to harden up. Let pieces of this divine mixture melt-in-your-mouth for outrageous yumminess ;)

Angela Wrote:

WOW. This can be made with different nut/seed butters to your taste - tahini is yummy, as is hazelnut and I bet macadamia would be GREAT too. This recipe was originally inspired by the 'almond dream bars' served at Live Cafe in Toronto. I loved this dessert SO much that the Monarch felt he simply must re-create it. They use agave though and I'm not much into sugar-spikes anymore, so he uses low glycemic lucuma powder instead. The buckwheaties and goji berries are not ESSENTIAL - you could just make a solid bar, if you prefer, with no 'bits' in - I just LOVE the texture they add...Mmmmmmmmm ;) ENJOY :)

Chia Sushi
I accidentally created another AWESOME recipe recently: chia sushi. I happened to be eating a blended salad with nori sheets for a meal. Angela was eating this amazing chia mixture that I had made a couple of days before. When I finished my meal, I looked over at Angela and she was thoroughly enjoying this chia meal. Witnessing her ABSOLUTE beauty and enjoyment of this chia meal, I decided to join in for a bite or two. I took a spoonful of the chia mixture and wrapped it in a small piece of the nori sheet. Wow! It tasted just like and had precisely the texture of 'real' Sushi! Amazing!!!

Here is the Recipe:

Soak your desired quantity of chia seeds in freshly pressed Carrot-Apple juice (e.g. if you have 3 cups of juice, add in 1 cup or more of chia seeds). Keep adding chia and stirring the mixture until it is thick. It will keep in the refrigerator for 2 - 3 days. Add the mixture to small sections of Nori Sheets and enjoy! Voila! Chia Sushi!!!

Raw Sprouted Cereals!!!

When I first lowered my fat intake recently, I was replacing the fat with a Sprouted Buckwheat Cereal here in the UK. It really did the job for me as the liquid (almond milk) really helped give me the feeling of satiation during this detox process. Paul Nison has been telling me to get Lydia's Sprouted Cereals for sometime now. After I got a couple more customers requesting Raw Cereals, INLCUDING MY MOM, I felt compelled to place an order with Lydia. Boy am I glad that I did. They are a HIT and everyone is LOVING these Sprouted Raw Cereals...

Sovereign Silver Product Line

I heard about this colloidal silver brand on the market that is supposedly of the very highest quality. Colloidal silver is known to be a great help for the immune system and is a natural antibiotic - it protects against infection and promotes healing, amongst other things. I did my research and discovered that the owner of the recommended company is actually a Raw Foodist. When I learned more about his products, I was indeed very impressed. Here are some stats documented in different studies of the Sovereign Silver products:

Smallest average particle size ever seen - 0.8 nm (nanometers) / 0.0008 microns / 8 Angstroms - confirmed by Univ. of Miami Medical School.

96% actively charged particles - confirmed in a University of Miami study.

Safe low concentration of 10 ppm (parts-per-million) - confirmed at an FDA approved laboratory with an Acute Toxicity Study.

Made from 99.99% pure silver - confirmed by 3rd party assay.

Made with ultra-pure, medical-grade water (the only other ingredient).

Crystal clear and virtually tasteless.

This company feel they have "a special responsibility... to bring a new generation of colloids [appropriately called "hydrosols"] to those who need it for their own health, as well as to those who attend upon the health of others."

Sovereign Silver represents the most significant breakthrough in colloidal technology in the last 90 years. It is an omnipotent resource in the defense of health, one with which to confront the ever increasing immune challenges threatening man, even the whole of mankind.

Kale Chips
The Kale chips have been flying off our warehouse shelves. For those of you who have not experienced them yet, I wanted to give you a little visual aid, to see what they look like - so we took a quick picture that you can see here to the left. Besides the Kelp Noodles, I have never seen a product fly off the shelves like these Kale chips. It has been hard to keep them all in stock!

Matt Monarch's Monthly Recommendation

The 4-Quart enema bag is one of the products that I would most highly recommend from our website. A typical enema bag that you would get at a local pharmacy is about 1.5 - 2 quarts. The colon can hold about 3 - 4 quarts. With this 4-quart bag, if you know what you are doing, then you have the potential to cleanse deep into both ends of the colon.

For those who don't want to spend money on colon hydrotherapy on a periodic basis, this enema bag can be especially beneficial. I do still recommend getting a professional colonic every once in a while too, though.

I always get asked the question, How do you do an enema? At first, you very likely won't be able to fill so much water into the colon, because there will probably be a lot of gas and waste. In the beginning, just fill up enough to release the waste in the lower portion of the colon. As you clear out the waste and gas, you can start to add more water in and go deeper. Sometimes there may be a lot of gas in the colon causing pressure and people get a bit of pain as that gas shifts around for release. Many people get scared to take in any amount of water due to this pain. I don't want you to push yourself unnecessarily and you do of course want to be careful, but I also feel that sometimes it is important to 'push through' this temporary discomfort and let more water into the system. The key is to get that gas out that is causing the pain when water tries to enter. This discomfort doesn't ALWAYS happen, but it does on occasion. I like to recommend professional colon hydrotherapy, because it is pretty much guaranteed that the entire colon will get cleansed out, including all the gas and debris and you have a 'professional' there to help guide you with the process.

For those of you who are used to using a colema board, the 4-quart enema bag is a great replacement. The enema takes about half the time it takes to do a colema and can be just as effective if you know what you are doing. These enema bags are also IDEAL for travelling, as they roll up very small and can be tucked into your luggage easily.

You can order 4-quart enema bags HERE

Shining the Spotlight - David Rain

I first heard about David Rain a couple of years ago from Angela. Angela was hanging out at the 'Tree of Life' center in Arizona for a month and David worked closely with Gabriel Cousens at that time. David was the man who introduced Angela to the 92-Day Juice Feast. When she heard David explaining this cleansing process, after some initial resistance, her whole being seemed to then scream YES! YES! YES!, let's Juice Feast! Not long afterwards, when I was with Angela in one of our deep eye-gazing states, she expressed to me that David, like us, is willing to hold a deep space of connection, while in communication with others. After Angela expressed this, I was very eager to have a conversation with David. I wanted to share this kind of connection with him.

BOY... Was she ABSOLUTELY right!!!

Upon meeting, David and I immediately connected on both a 'spiritual' and business level. I feel that we are very similar in both of those areas. I look forward to connecting more with David in the future. Although David is already a very sought out and recognised pioneer in the Raw Food & Natural Health Movement, I am still really excited to Shine the Spotlight on him. David has helped and is helping thousands of people heal from degenerative diseases. He co-authored the book "There is a Cure for Diabetes" with Gabriel Cousens, which is opening healing doors for countless people with Diabetes. David is also the man who has brought Juice Feasting to the public eye.


If you do a Juice Feast exactly the way that David Rain recommends, in my opinion, it is one of the BEST things that you can possibly do for the Human Body. There is no doubt about it. I love how David doesn't discount the need to cleanse the colon during this process... especially in the beginning. If you are interested in doing a Juice Feast, I recommend going to www.JuiceFeasting.com. Angela's book A Juice Feaster's Handbook has also been a great benefit and addition to David's website. I have never met a 'go-getter' quite like David Rain. He has brought the concept of cleansing with a Juice Feast to THOUSANDS of people. Dr. Fred Bisci absolutely LOVES David too, after they met about a year ago at the Living Light Festival.

One of my favorite interviews on the recent Rawkathon was David's. He is absolutely BRILLIANT!!!! I am so excited to get his latest book he is working on, when it is available on the market. It is called 'The Spectrum of Diet' and discusses different levels of diet which also include your emotional needs at that particular level.

For example, on one side of the spectrum, you have the SAD diet, on the other end you'd find the Raw Food diet and in between will be vegetarian and vegan diets. It's about making your way across the spectrum, while satisfying your emotional needs at the same time. My favorite concept that he introduced was that many people jump across the spectrum from a SAD background, into a 100% Raw Food diet. That is not an easy jump for most people and they then end up bouncing back from being 100% Raw all the way to the SAD life. This can be especially problematic because when you go Raw you become more sensitive to those damaging foods. For this reason, David recommends taking the transition across the spectrum slowly. For example, you would ideally learn the ins and outs of a Vegan diet first before entering into 100% Raw Vegan. That way, if you go 100% Raw and end up bouncing backwards, the impact won't be so bad if you go back to Vegan whole foods, compared to SAD junk 'foods'. I LOVE THIS CONCEPT!

Oh!!!! and I can't forget about David's LOVELY partner Katrina. Every time I see this lovely couple, they have smiles stretched across both 'spectrum's' ;) of their faces. Angela LOVES these two beings so much, that she is always talking about how she would LOVE to have them as neighbors. Katrina's hometown is in Victoria, BC. Angela stayed with them for a few days in BC and afterwards relayed to me the beautiful energy that runs through Katrina's entire family. Katrina's dad, for example reminds Angela of Gandolph the Wizard - he is well over 6 feet tall with long white hair, a huge grin and so much wisdom to share. What a delightful family!

David & Katrina... We absolutely LOVE you!!!

Thank you for Making a Difference!!!

~Many Blessings 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!

Hello Everyone! I've been sitting still in one place for about a week now... And since I am not travelling continuously, I have more time available to send you out another Newsletter. YAY!!!

I can't get over how enjoyable the Raw Spirit Festival was for me! I recommend attending these events as the opportunities (Business, Love/Dating, Fun, Growth) are endless. They are actually creating TWO Raw Spirit Festivals a year now. The new one is in Santa Barbara in June 2009 and you can learn more about it HERE. My good friend Jeff, the "Rawtographer", took this photo of me speaking above, at this year's festie in Sedona. I recommend checking out his work HERE.

It is quite amazing the PROFOUND impact that Angela's recent CNN Weight Loss story had for the raw foods movement and I guess the planet in general. Almost all of my friends who are into eating Raw have had 'Standard American Diet'-eating friends comment to them about this CNN Story on Angela. Angela is getting a MASS of emails from people who have started to eat better after seeing the story and some even go 100% Raw.

Here is one example of someone whose life has shifted since seeing the CNN Story - she's already released 9LBS in one week:

Hello Angela:
I saw your article on CNN and received the 28 page free download. Thank You!
I've been trying this past week to do as you have done, and keep it simple. I have done pretty well.
I did have a baked treat. But, I am transitioning and giving myself a break. Trying not to be too hard on myself in the beginning because this is truly a life change for me.
I was 293 lbs. last week and am now 284 lbs. I try to walk as much as possible and I do weight training on Saturdays.
I would like to adapt this lifestyle into my life.
After I ate the baked treat I mentioned up above, I felt terrible. I had that earlier today and I still feel horrible. One good thing about trying to eat raw and stay away from the treats and baked goods, is you can truly feel how you "really" feel.
I think we get so desensitized because it is normal to feel horrible and we get used to it until it fades temporarily and we do it again.
I hope to drop a significant amount of weight and know it will take a long time.
Thank you for your example,
Cynthia

This is just ONE of the HUNDREDS of daily emails that Angela receives!

This story has also spurred a bunch of opportunities for Angela to get the 'Raw Food' word out further to the masses. We had a PR agent contact us to promote her story. They came out this week to interview her and do another professional photo shoot for the story that they are confident will get placed into many Newspapers, Magazines, and International Prints all over the world.

The thing I loved most about this PR visit was what the photographer said to Angela. She mentioned that she travels around everywhere doing photo shoots of people who have lost massive amounts of weight. When she saw Angela, she was dumbfounded how VIBRANT she looks compared to all the rest!!!! Many of these other diets entail people living off manufactured 'meal replacement' bars and shakes. Compare that to the NOURISHING lifestyle Angela leads; it makes a WORLD of difference. This photographer was inspired to say the least. She left to go eat a healthy meal. Every time someone comes to visit Angela, they seem to get inspired like this. I wonder why???

We also have some other exciting things brewing up in the wake of this media exposure, which will be announced soon! ;)

If you haven't yet seen this CNN Top Health Story of the Year, you can view the video HERE and the article that had over 2 million hits HERE.

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

I always get excited about some new food product we carry and I always put them up here in the top of the Newsletter... Well...

At The Raw Spirit Festival this year, There were these two STUDS selling the most amazing Raw Pizza and some sort of Pasta. I could not believe how amazing both of these meals were. I said, "Are you sure that these noodles are 100% Raw???" They smiled and said, "YES, they are made strictly out of kelp and that is it." I couldn't believe it, so I researched these noodles when I got back from the festie. WOW!!!!, They were not joking!!! And I thought Spiralized Zucchini was the best Raw Spaghetti replacement available. Well... then I tried these Kelp Noodles. I just knew we had to get hold of them for The Raw Food World Store - they're AMAZING: made strictly from Kelp, 100% RAW!!! and INCREDIBLY inexpensive too: 2.5 Servings is only $3.95! LOL

Kelp Noodles are a sea vegetable in the form of an easy to eat raw noodle. Made of only kelp (a sea vegetable), Mineral Rich sodium salt extracted from a brown seaweed, and water, Kelp Noodles are fat-free, gluten-free, and very low in carbohydrates and calories. Their noodle form and neutral taste allow for a variety of uses including salads and Raw Pastas, while their healthful content provides a rich source of trace minerals including iodine, which kelp is well known for. Their unique texture completes the package, making Kelp Noodles a one-of-a-kind healthful and tasty alternative to pasta and rice noodles. Best of all, no cooking is required. Just rinse and add the noodles to any dish and they are ready to eat!

We have another ~Jam Packed~ Newsletter this week! Enjoy!!!

Exchanging Bread for Lettuce, Healing Varicose Veins, & Colon Hydrotherapy - Blog Post, by Matt Monarch

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.

Bread was the most difficult thing for me to stop eating when I went 100% Raw. Of course, bread also happens to be one of the MOST DAMAGING FOODS TO THE HUMAN BODY. Bread contains highly processed starch molecules. The 'Starch Molecule' is not soluble in water, ether or even alcohol. Therefore, if you eat something like bread, you end up with this solid, non-soluble starch material traveling through the body. From years of eating bread, this starchy, sticky glue-like substance starts to cake onto the walls of your internal organs and other areas of the body. Fortunately, we are blessed to have some little friends to help us with this sticky situation - so-called "germs". Germs actually benefits us by breaking down this plaster-like wall on our insides and turning it into a pus-like substance. This 'pus' is excreted through all of our eliminatory channels, including the skin. If you have zits on your face, for example, you may want to consider stopping the intake of processed starches and see what kind of results you get...

I LOVE to tell people to replace their bread with lettuce!!! This may sound odd at first, yet this simple step ALONE can literally change peoples' whole health. For example, if you have a sandwich with bread and meat, just replace the bread with lettuce. Put the meat inside the salad leaves or even put it in a salad and that alone would make THE WORLD of difference in terms of digestion and overall health.

When you cut out bread, not only are you on your way to eliminating one of the most damaging food groups (Processed Starches), you are also adding lettuce to your meals, which has a mass of benefits. Have you ever heard of Kirlian photography? This involves the use of a special camera, which captures the energy of whichever article is being photographed. When you take a picture of a Fresh Raw Food Item with this type of camera, the picture is BRIGHT & GLOWING, with all kinds of beautfiul, ethereal colours and spectrums of light around the food. However, when you take a picture of cooked food, it comes out DulL & gLoOmY. The GREAT NEWS is that foods are synergistic and they balance each other out. For example, if you are exchanging lettuce for bread... instead of a meat sandwich, it could now be thought of as a "meat salad", and then the energetic compositions of the lettuce and meat will merge (MUCH more happily than the bread and meat!). In conjunction with the lettuce, the meat will be transformed into a brighter energetic composition. This change in the energetic composition of the meal you are eating will make it easier for the body to handle. (Of course, IDEALLY, one would also replace the MEAT with a plant-food, such as nut butter, avocado, a nut pate and so on - one step at a time though ;)

Due to foods being synergistic like this, I LOVE to tell people that if they eat cooked food, to have lettuce before-hand. If you were to also take some
Digestive Enzymes after this type of meal, it would make an even BIGGER difference. If someone eats steamed vegetable (which is just one slight step away from a 100% Raw Food Diet) and does this process with the lettuce beforehand and the enzymes afterwards, it's ALMOST like they didn't even eat the steamed vegetables. Well... not really... but ALMOST! I hope you get the idea...!

I'm fairly new to raw (4 months) and have really enjoyed the information in your newsletter. I feel really great with this new way of eating and always ate a diet that was high in fruits and vegetables and was probably quite healthy compared to the SAD diet. My question is about varicose and spider veins. I'm 33 years old and started noticing them a few years ago, much to my chagrin. Is there anything I can do in particular to ameliorate the condition and stop any more from forming? I really appreciate your time and only ask because your information has been so valuable. Thank you!

Hi Sarah,

The best information I've found on Varicose Veins was in the book Fresh Vegetable & Fruit Juice, by Dr. Norman Walker. Most other materials on the subject say the cause of Varicose Veins is 'unknown'. Dr. Norman Walker states that Varicose Veins result from eating processed foods (especially Refined Sugars & Processed Starches), which allows inorganic calcium to build up in the body (among many other things). The body can't utilize inorganic calcium and it starts to accumulate within the body. The inorganic calcium forms deposits in the blood vessels resulting in toughening of the arteries (Varicose Veins). Additionally, excessive use of standard table salt does the same thing, as it contains inorganic elements too.

Dr. Norman Walker states that in Scotland they used to use Apple Cider Vinegar topically to help shrink varicose veins. He states that you should use it "judiciously all across the vein in the morning and in the evening" for over a month. Additionally, at the same time a person should be drinking two to three glasses of water per day with two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in each glass. Supposedly, many Scottish people had AMAZING results with this method. He said the top three vegetable juices that are ideal to help with bulging Varicose Veins are 'Carrot-Spinach' juice, 'Carrot-Spinach-Parsley-Celery' juice, 'Carrot-Beet-Cucumber' juice. Along with straight Beet Juice, I feel that these three vegetable juices would be ideal for encouraging the solubility and release traces of inorganic calcium, removing the inorganic deposits from the veins. If I, 'The Extremist', were in your shoes, I personally would throw a teaspoon of Therapeutic Enzymes into these three juices daily, to help expedite the process further. I also feel it is important to make sure you are 'keeping up' with the toxins within the body by practicing periodic colon cleansing to ensure the swift removal of these deposits as they are released. And of course... Make sure to eliminate the cause of the Varicose Veins, by eliminating Refined Sugars and Processed Starches from your diet COMPLETELY, or you may very well just be wasting your energy.

If you or anyone you know happens to get any results from following this procedure, I would LOVE to hear about your experiences.

Hi Matt,
I attended your talk in West Haven. Since then I read the book "Become Younger" by Dr. Walker and found it very interesting. For a few weeks I have been eating mostly raw food, no grains, no sugar, hardly any dairy products and meat, and absolutely no junk food. My problem is the following: I noticed that my digestive system is abnormal. I have loose bowel movements, sometimes even cramps and more acne than usual. What is your suggestion?
Thanks in advance! Eva

Hi Eva,
COLONIC!!!! You are detoxing. Do a colonic and watch what happens.
Great job!
Matt

Eva Later Wrote:

Hi Matt,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I had a colonic today and feel great. I just needed a little push, because I didn't have a colonic for 3 years.
I would really love to work in the field of natural health, but I am still not sure what I want to do exactly.
weeks later Eva wrote: I also just wanted to mention that I did not experience arthritis pain since my colonic.

Beatrice Wrote:

Hi,
Thanks for that advise.
One other thing I noticed on your website the colon cleanse product which you recommend doing colonics along side it.
Do you think its possible to get rid of the plaque with just this product without doing the colonics?
I haven't tried doing enemas because I know there is also a chance of backing stuff up back into the colon if its not done correctly which I find a bit off putting.
I also do come across people who have health problems but do not have the funds to do colonics so I'm wondering if they were to do a juice fast alongside using this product it would have the same action?
Once again thank you for your advice I appreciate it
kind regards
Beatrice

Hi Beatrice,
Anything is possible. Without Colon Hydrotherapy as an option, Colosan is your best bet. However, in my opinion, it is unlikely that you will get all the mucoid plaque out that way. I recommend Bernard Jensen's 7-Day Psyllium and Bentonite Cleanse, which I have mentioned often, while doing the amount of colon cleansing recommended in his book HERE.

In my opinion, doing a Juice Fast in conjunction with Colosan is not really going to make much of a difference. There is a possibility that it can even make the situation 'worse', in the long-run. When you go on a Juice Fast, you are omitting solid food and fat from your intake and you are going to detox more on a cellular level. If someone is clogged with masses of impacted gas, refuses to cleanse the colon, and then goes on a Juice Fast, it may just add more gas and waste to the Bonfire.

There is NO OTHER method that detoxifies the body like Colon Hydrotherapy.

NONE!

You can do an infrared Sauna for 5 days straight, an hour a day, foot soaks, skin brushing, Toxin Removal Patches, Exercise, Eat Fiber Supplements Everyday and NONE of these methods will even come close to the deep cellular detoxing that cleansing the colon is capable of... NOTHING! They are all great methods, but they just don't compare when it comes to detoxing the body. Keep in mind that the colon is THE central waste station for our bodies. Trying to do your detoxing through other routes instead of cleansing the colon is like cleaning up a few crumbs on your kitchen sideboards while your trash can is stinking up the whole room with garbage. Make sense?

I knew a woman who told me that when she was younger, she was on the verge of dying and she had absolutely NO MONEY. An elderly woman gave her an enema bag and told her to use it as much as possible and that it had the potential to save her life. This young lady started doing the enemas daily, which started a massive clean out of her body. She was dumbfounded by the results. Mucus and toxins were coming out of every orifice of her body. She said that she could not believe the kind of Vaginal Discharges that exited her body. Waste was coming out of her nose and her nipples and she said that she wouldn't tell me anymore than that or I would be truly disgusted. Now, as an elderly woman herself these days, she told me she knows that enema bag saved her life. She is now a Successful Colon Therapist who can sense energy in the same way as Ann Wigmore and Dr. Fred Bisci, like I mentioned in this past Newsletter HERE.

Now... I am not saying "make cleansing the colon a way of life and do it everyday" like this woman did. If you are not 100% Raw, even just a few times a year may be plenty.

Here is an example of how just one Colonic did wonders for a friend of mine:

One woman worked for my company and had Pneumonia. She was going to go to the hospital to get antibiotics. I convinced her to get a colonic with me before she went to the hospital. After her session she met me back in the car. INSTANTANEOUSLY, right after her colonic, she started taking in really Deep Breaths... INNNN and OUTTTT... INNNN and OUTTTT... She was COMPLETELY amazed at how the Colonic relieved her.

I know that I am always saying this but here we go again... All disease is the same: it is the result of waste building up in the body and trying to exit through the weakest, least resistant part of the body. For example, acne is waste coming out of the face, with Psoriasis it is coming out of the skin, with Herpes it is trying to come out on the genitals and so on. Most people take toxic antibiotics to try to 'fight' the waste coming out and so it gets suppressed. This waste 'MONSTER' just builds up with more waste added each day and has the potential to develop into a more serious degenerative disease, such as arthritis, cancer, or any of the thousands of other ailments affecting humanity today.

It is documented that about 50 years ago, every hospital room had a colonic or enema machine. Cleansing the colon is so effective in healing the body that it was the first measure that a doctor would take in helping someone heal. Then the Big Time Pharmaceutical Companies $$$ came in and started selling their drugs. I can only imagine how they managed to eliminate the colon cleansing machines from all of the hospitals so that people wouldn't heal so fast or so often, and be enticed to pay for their drugs instead.

Beatrice, in terms of your concern about 'waste backing up into the colon when doing an enema', in my opinion this is utter nonsense. Now... there are Natural Hygienist Raw Food Advocates out there who would say cleansing the colon is unnatural and a very bad thing to do. Of course, I'd love for everyone to decipher with their own intuition what is right for them. I get questions all the time about whether cleansing the colon is detrimental. We can go into debate for hours on beneficial flora, colon dependency, etc. Well, I've said it before and I'll say it again: from my experience, There is NO OTHER Method that detoxifies the body like Colon Hydrotherapy. I hope that helps...

Raw Food Recipes - Chia Tapioca Pudding!, and Raw Hemp Oil Salad Dressing

Chia Tapioca Pudding!

One of our Lovely customers and friends - Valerie - gave us the most AmAzInG Chia Tapioca Pudding recipe.

The Recipe:
1/4 Generous cup of chia seeds
Add the seeds to 1 cup almond milk. (It would work with blended banana or coconut milk)
Stir well and allow to sit in fridge for about 10 min.

Then add:
2 T raw raisins
Cinnamon to your taste
Stir well and place back in the fridge.
Stir this mixture several times and then allow it to sit overnight in fridge.
In the morning you may need to stir it well before eating.
I swirl the top with raw agave syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon again.

NOTE TO DIABETICS FROM VALERIE: The use of chia seeds before a meal has been controlling my blood sugars! I am an insulin-dependent Diabetic. Be sure to check your blood sugars more often if you start to eat chia, as I had to adjust my insulin doses, needing less insulin without the added spikes.

Valerie also said:
"Matt, I am going to experiment with chia ground into flour and mixed into a sweet mixture and a vegetable/savory juice mixture and try to dehydrate for chips or crackers, etc. Because of the effects it has been having on my blood sugars, I want to use it several times a day."
Thanks for sharing, Valerie!

New Products at The Raw Food World

Chocolate Chia Moon Drops (100% Raw!) 4.5oz

I have been trying to get a truly Raw Chocolate Chia Product on my website for ages now. I just knew that some brilliant mind out there could create a Raw Chocolate Chia Product that would knock the socks off of YOU! So... I contacted, no other than the divine mistress-of-chocolate, Teresa at Ulimana. As usual, she blew MY socks off - and this time they can be found hanging on the American Flagpole, up on the Moon! Yes, Teresa diligently worked with me in creating the all-new, super-delicious Raw Chocolate Chia Moon Drops. She told me that they are now her favorite product that she carries! She wrote, "I've gotten sooooo much positive feedback on these that everyone who has tried them has flipped out at how good they are! Seriously!!!"

Activated Barley - Sun Warrior

All Natural Ingredients:

Organic activated (pre-sprouted) barley powder
Activated Barley- here's the 'scoop':
One issue with barley is that it's extremely gelatinous. All attempts to dry it and package it for commercial distribution were unsuccessful until a company in Sweden figured out a way to use low-temperature steam (produced in a partial vacuum) to take the barley just up to the point of sprouting -- before it turns gelatinous, but after the point where all the proteins and carbohydrates have been converted, and at a temperature low enough so that no enzymes are damaged.

This turns out to be a remarkably interesting point for food. It's like the food is placed in a state of suspended animation at the point where all of the energy of the grain has been marshalled to sprout the pearl -- and not yet expended in the act of sprouting.

The result is a brand new superfood with unbelievable properties. Think of it like a bullet in a gun.

The Properties of Activated Barley

Like regular barley, it ranks incredibly low on the glycemic index.

It has all of the nutritional value of barley -- high levels of tocotrienols and beta glucans.

It contains 1,000s of active enzymes.

It is an ultra-long-chain carbohydrate that takes up to 4 hours to break down in the digestive tract -- thus providing a slow, sustained release of energy and insulin.

Because the release is so slow, it actually lowers the body's insulin response.

It provides over 400% more energy per calorie than any other food calorie known. (Despite what the USDA may tell you, not all calories are created equal.)

It produces readings of up to 320,000 on the Bovis scale.

However, these two ladies, at the same time, each and every time, synchronistically would turn their heads towards each other and nod!!! I thought I was in a movie or something. It was a joy to witness their beaming faces.
