Inside The Video Vault…One of the biggest myths and misconceptions people have about the raw diet is “how do you get protein?” Here’s a very rare video of Dr. Ann Wigmore herself talking about how raw foodists can get protein in their diets.
Two concluding comments:
- First, I’d love to know what you thought of the video and your plans on getting protein in your diet - please share your thoughts on the blog.
- Second, I’m giving some thought to doing this on a biweekly or weekly basis. So if you’d like to see more interviews, videos, ebooks with different speakers or authors who “get it,” just let me know…

Jim,
Thank you for sharing such great material and helpful information that have been life changing. I met a man who worked with Ann named Dr. Wayne Pickering. He said she used some of his work when they knew each other. He spoke very highly of her work and I just wanted to know if his information is in the updated program that will be released?

I drink green smoothies, that are at this time being made in the little Magic Bullet. I add things like 8-12 unsoaked nut (Wolfe states they don’t need to be soaked if eaten WITH greens, the enzymes for digestion are in the greens, and so far, I’ve had no problem with nuts this way), seeds like flax or chia, add a bit of tahini, spirulina and/or chlorella, sometimes bee pollen.

I am so thrilled to hear Dr. Ann Wigmore talk about protein in sunflower and almond seeds. I have a 2 yr old almond tree in my backyard with fruits starting to come out. I will try her almond cream when they are ready to be picked. Our city gives us 6 trees each year to plant, so I am definitely planting nut trees in my backyard to add to my other fruit trees, at this time I have 23. I told my husband that soon I will be eating just raw fruits and nuts from my backyard trees and save him a lot of money, just like Adam in the garden of Eden, who lived for 930 years . He never cooked his food! Thsank you for emailing me Dr. Ann Wigmore’s video. It is precious. Keep up the good work of helping others become healthy each time they eat raw foods!

Thank you for saving and posting these videos of Dr. Ann Wigmore. Keep on teaching us. I use seed and nuts as my main source of protein along with greens. Nut milks and smoothies are great and just raw for snacking and keeping my energy up while at events like Tony Robbins UPW I just crewed in LA (3/08).
April 2nd, 2008 at 8:31 pm
thank you for this venue to talk about raw food. the video with ann wigmore discussing protein wasn,t very clear on how. to prepare the seed loaf or the almond nugget.

I’m off to make my seed cheese. So happy with this diet. Please keep me posted on anything. Hope to convert my son when he returns from Cambodia next month
April 2nd, 2008 at 11:55 pm
Love your video, but I found parts of it hard to understand or clearly hear. Keep up the good work!
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:16 am
I am inspired to make the sprounted sunflower cheese and cont. on my quest to be a raw foodist.
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:49 am
I loved it. I wish i could have seen it all it cut off at ten minutes. Can I purchase a copy??? if yes please tell how thanks for sharing
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:37 am
What a wonderful job you are doing for us all. I have made seed cheese since I started with Raw and it really is the best protein for us. Bless you and your work, please keep it coming if you can.
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:29 pm
I love the videos!! It is good to learn more and more every day, and to use them as encouragement when feeling tempted to eat cooked foods. It can be hard to hear what is being said. The quality is not the best, and because it is filmed at a distance and it is dark, we can’t try to read her lips to go with the audio. Despite this, PLEASE continue showing such videos. Perhaps when they involve a “recipe” you could then have it written out for us as well. Keep up the great work!!!!
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:47 pm
Can someone post the recipe. I didnt’ catch it all.
April 3rd, 2008 at 10:16 pm
Cool! Thanks for all your hard work. Keep the videos coming…. love it! Hugs,V

me and my girlfriend want to eat healthier. She is looking for a way to loose weight, she will probably relate to your life story when she gets the chance to read it.
I just don’t even know where to start. I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to meals and food. We have the basics of chicken, potatoes, breads mostly. Where/how do I start? Kicking those staples out of our diet feels like a long way off for us.

I was happy to see a bit of Anne Wigmore and hear her voice, but I really find it much easier to follow printed material when I’m trying to learn about foods and how to prepare them. I know many prefer video but I find it more difficult to use than printed matter. Thank you for sharing this.
April 17th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
Thank you so very much for the wonderful ebook. My favorite story so far is Honeysuckle.
I am glad you,(meaning all who helped with this website,etc.) are in this world with me.
Thanks,Love,and Peace,

I cannot open any prompt to see or read the FREE EBOOK!
April 24th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Yes, yes, yes … more Wigmore … I don’t think she ever got to the part of showing how to make the seed loaf … but it was fabulous … will add her seed/rejuvalac concoction when making my brazil nut crackers … and will let you know. Thanks for sharing.
Also good raw videos on you tube, David Wolfe, etc.

It is so nice to see someone “honoring” Ann´s work without changing the main format as I have seen others do in the last 31 years! I have been fighting cancer and autoimmune disease since 1977…and I have implemented Ann´s philosophies while trying to still honor my husband´s wishes.
Thank you for your dedication and making information available without a price tag! Most people fighting major illness have families and other considerations that interfere with putting all financial resources to “buying” programs.
Thank you!

The video was good, just a little hard to hear and it
would be helpful to have the recipe written out. I use
blu-green algae in the form of e3live as well as seeds
and nuts for my protein. Also hemp protein powder.
Pleas do have interviews and live calls and videos.
They are helpful.

About twenty-two years ago I was honored to briefly meet Ann Wigmore in Cave Junction, Oregon. At that point in my life I didn’t appreciate her work as much as I do now. As a registered nurse I have spent my life experimenting with lifestyle change for the purpose of health restoration. I have conducted many types of health conditioning programs largely from my homes or in the homes of others. I believe our own homes are the best place for us to get well in whenever possible.
A few years ago I brought a health-challenged woman to a facility in Arizona for a ten day cleanse. I used my colema set there and did a lot of work with my brand new mini trampoline. To this day I tell people the program modeled after Ann Wigmore’s teachings was the most powerful I have experienced.
One time a lady planned to come to my home to work on her issues. She told me she wanted to delay coming in order to get some tests done first as she feared she might have colon cancer. I told her, “No, you come now and we will use wheatgrass to repair whatever damage may have occurred. When you have your test you will receive a good answer.” She came to my house and did wheat grass implants along with raw foods and was amazed to have a very excellent outcome with her test after.
Last November a senior citizen invited me to quit my job and move from California to Oregon in order to could share a home and prepare vegetarian foods for her. I planned to obtain private duty nursing work in Oregon. The lady was so ill I couldn’t leave even though she couldn’t pay me to care for her. She loved the raw foods I prepared and told me she didn’t want cooked foods. Soon another lady joined us.
An article I wrote about water and salt was read to some health practitioners. As a result a brain challenged lady with post traumatic stress joined us.
We have outgrown our house and are invited to move to southern California where a larger home is prepared for us. Two male quadriplegic athletes want to join us in order to re-grow their nerves and get well.
My husband and I occasionally travel and teach natural healing. Twice in one year we spent a month teaching in Costa Rica. Many people were shocked to eat at our table only raw foods. Many said we had saved their lives with the information we shared in lectures as well as practical hands on teaching.
I am grieved at what happens to people when they become dependent on the medical system. Their minds become locked into slavery which is worse than their bodily afflictions as they fear to make any moves to help themselves for fear of offending the medical establishment.
Two weeks were spent in the home of a quadriplegic that had become paralyzed after eating a whole jar of peanut butter at night. His caregivers hated me when I came there and were determined to have nothing to do with me or this “terrible” raw food! I enlisted the children to help me prepare irresistible fruit dishes in parfait glasses. Before it was over I had won all their hearts with love and my raw foods. The women weren’t even doing parasite cleansing but they said they didn’t even dare look at what was coming out of them into the toilet but flushed it quickly as they knew something huge and too much alive was passing out on a regular basis. They couldn’t believe that they were soon wearing jeans they hadn’t fit into in years.
An obese male nurse aid seemed angry enough to call the police on me when I arrived. By the end he was coming to work early to share our afternoon meal outside at the picnic table where we invited all the neighbors to join us. The man I came to help said he felt we had reversed fifteen years of aging in two weeks.
An eighty- two year old man suffered from severe arthritis, lifelong osteoporosis, near kidney failure, nerve damage, etc. I cared for him in his home and fed him mostly raw fruits for a number of weeks. The day after I left he lost his life in a vehicular wreck. At his funeral the mortician said he had never seen such clean arteries unless the person was under thirty-five years of age. After the cremation, the mortician told me he was shocked at the volume of ashes received from this tiny wisp of a shrunken old man. He told me that a normal person puts out one urn of ashes. He expected less than that from this man, but was amazed that he put out two urns full! When asked what factor determined ash volume, I was astounded at his response: BONE DENSITY!! We had unwittingly learned some of the secrets of rapid bone re-construction!
A young mother came to my house with a two year old girl who had lost a large portion of her large intestines to repeated surgeries as an infant. She appeared very weak, listless and transparent. Her mother fed her through a tube inserted near her shoulder and a tiny colostomy bag attached to her belly handled evacuations. Financially challenged. the mother asked me what I would do if she were my child. I told her I would feed her wheatgrass. I told her to cut grass from the field and juice it with an old meat grinder she had until she could grow her own. She did this and was amazed at how the child improved. The next time I saw her, the child had gotten rid of all her tubes! She proudly showed me her scars on her chest and belly and the absence of her bags and tubes. Other mothers have done similarly and received similar results with health challenged children.
Last year, on the first Sabbath of my work in the home of a family dealing with the wife’s Alzheimer challenges, a special friend called to report about an open eyed vision he had experienced early that very morning. In the vision, he and his wife were standing outside a building. They observed a tiny motorized vehicle racing past them on a very straight paved road. The female driver had on some kind of magnifying driving glasses. Her cape was flying in the wind. She carried wheat grass, colonic tubes, charcoal, and some herbs packed all around her on her go-cart. Travelling like a bullet with eyes straight ahead , as she raced past, the people murmured, “Who does she think she is? Where does she think she is going?”
Dead ahead on the road were the gates to the Garden of Eden flanked by shining angels with flashing swords. This woman failed to even regard them but continued straight ahead. Right when everyone gazed in horror braced for the crash, the gates flew open just long enough to let her in and she disappeared from sight as the gates slammed shut behind her.
The man who received this vision recognized me as the driver of the go-cart. He was told after that the understanding I had about natural healing would soon be carried to the whole world. I believe I am called by heaven to continue the legacy and build upon the truths received from Ann Wigmore.
I own a blogsite wheatgrass360.com which is totally inspired by the things I learned from Ann Wigmore. I am most grateful for her book “Why Suffer?”. I am thrilled to see it back in print. I have read it to quadriplegics trying to get them inspired to see that they could do things to help themselves.
I would be most grateful to receive a free course in raw foods to help me accomplish my mission. Regardless of whether I have an opportunity to do the course, I am placing a link to your site on my wheatgrass blog.

Many thanks, Jim, for all your work! Bravo!!
Dr. Ann Wigmore has been my inspiration since meeting her and working on staff in 1977 at Hippocrates Health Inst.-Boston in 1977. It was like coming home and was the best time in my 26 years at that time. I have been changing my diet and lifestyle since that time and recently got a glimpse of my dream to work at H.H.I. again. Last year I created a micro-model of Hippocrates Health Institute right in my own home, called The Green Essene. I’m doing it without anyone to assist me; and so far, have only had one live-in resident for two weeks last spring. Also, I’ve been offering classes in Live Food Preparation and Indoor Gardening: Wheatgrass and Sprouts. All my teaching is very ‘hands-on’. Just today, though, a survey was placed into my hands that was asking questions of the feasibility of a Health Resort much like Hippocrates, close enough to me and in a much more populated town. I feel Dr. Ann’s work is and forever shall be carried on. Perhaps we can join forces.
I do not ask for a free course. There are many others who need it more. What I would very much like, however, is support. Most of all, I would like to connect with anyone out there who was at H.H.I./Boston in 1977, spring to end of summer.
Hopefully, I’ll get home in time from work tomorrow to attend the call-in talk with everyone.
Thanks again, Jim!
Blessings, Jeannie

keep it up the video was great.look forward to more.i’m just getting my feet wet and any info is a great help.

I have been living on organic, raw food for several years - except for cooked oatmeal which I cover with 2″ of chopped up wheatgrass. I also find it beneficial to eat 3 ozs. soaked,raw nuts and 2 - 3 Tablespoons of chia seeds soaked in water for 12 hrs. Plenty of protein here.
It is also important to make a green drink in the Vita-Mix daily with red beets, garlic, horseradish, brocolli, parsley, etc.

How do I view the rest of the Ann Wigmore movie?I loved it and wanted to see the whole thing. I really enjoyed seeing her in person and watching her present. Just watching how she prepares things is insightful.
