You know the old saying, it feels better to give than to receive…
Well that saying never rang truer than right now!
After receiving over 275 “why you should win” contest entries on the blog and a walloping 2,352 emails in my inbox, I have never been more certain of the RAW Food Diet’s ability to changes lives.
What a humbling and emotionally charged experience this has been…
OK, so originally I planned to give away just 2 complete home study programs, but it was just impossible to select only two winners, so in spirit of “RAW-Volution” we have 3 WINNERS!
Not to mention the free course we gave away to June Sloan of The Colony, Texas. Here’s what she had to say after she won!
The 3 winners for 3 reasons…
1. Stood Out: They took massive ACTION to stand out!
2. Needs: Truly Needed the help and would use it!
3. Activism: Would help spread the RAW knowledge!
The contest winners will receive:
1. A FREE copy of the Dr. Ann Wigmore Home Study Program Ver 2.0
2. A One-Hour Consultation with Me
Okay, the moment you’ve been waiting for, drum roll please…
GRAND PRIZE WINNER#1: Sheila
As Bob Marley says, “Get Up, Stand Up, Stand Up for your Right” and Shelia stood up and stood out by submitting a couragous video that tugs at the heart stings.
When it came down to it, her story will inspire your soul and motivate your bones to get moving, push through, and claim the life you’ve always wanted!
All the way across the globe from Tibet, Arthur plans to run with the RAW foods ball and spread the word about the raw food movement!

Wow! The video from Melanie was so compelling.I don’t know how you made the choices you did but I’m sure you put all your resources into it(body , mind, and soul)and have certainly made the right choices. To all of you that are upset that you didn’t win,don’t be. Life is fair everything has its reason. Just pay attention to jim’s messages and you too can be a winner.because we are all winners in our own way. and his messages are full to the brim with good information, if you but apply it.

Jim,
Oh my gosh!!!
I just came home from physical therapy and I had gotten really bad news and I pretty much just wanted to sit and cry…
I was told by the Therapist that he couldn’t see the muscle damage that was done ever really getting better. It was irreversible and my only odds of beating this was at some nutritional point and that to him seemed not a reachable plateau…
He told me of all the damage he seen through out my body and this was only on a muscle nerve point opinion.
I knew what he was saying was right on point because I have heard it so many times. Cindy you will have to find a way to live with this because the damage is done.
Jim, I wanted to just sit and cry. But, I didn’t I told him I was going to get better and he looked at me with such amazement that I would say such a thing when he was showing me the damage that was done. I told him I didn’t know how but I was going to get there someday. I told him I wasn’t going to believe all the negative talk on how this is something else I will just have to live with. I told him there is nothing wrong with HOPE. I left with my body beaten but my spirit willing to find a way…
I would of honestly just cried all my way to the vehicle but my daughter who is home sick insisted she had to be with me for the physical therapy.
I came home in so much pain and you know the moment when all seems to be a no win. I have been there numerous times. It is like when no hope is left possible and then God shines brightly. I will explain this briefly. My husband was in deliriousness and I couldn’t talk to him for almost 2 days and it was getting close to his time here being over. I had just learned he wasn’t going to live much longer and I hadn’t gotten the chance to talk to him at all. Then all of a sudden when all seemed so dark he came out of deliriousness to tell me he loved me and give me a hug. He fell right back into deliriousness and that was the last time I got to here from him. He got to tell me the most important thing before he died.
What I am trying to say is when all seems it’s darkest God shines brightly and it is never at our time period but his. I came home and was exhausted and physically beaten. I guess you could say it was a dark place!
And then it happened!
I came over to the computer to sit down and I had email.
I opened it!
I read it or so I thought!
I read it again!
And again!
I screamed once I thought I knew what it was saying.
I had my daughter come read it to me to make sure I wasn’t thinking something other than what it said.
I started crying….
I am in AWE!!!!
It came at the very moment all was the darkest!
I THANK YOU TREMENDOUSLY!!!!
I DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START BECAUSE I DIDN’T EVEN OPEN THE OTHER EMAIL THAT CAME AFTER IT.
I READ THIS PAGE AND POST AND WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT!
I am well aware there were so many people with so many illnesses and health problems and my heart goes out to all of YOU!
I WILL DO RIGHT BY THE COURSE AND IT WILL BE EARNED BY MY THOROUGH BATTLE THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE I LEARN.
I WILL NOT TAKE SUCH A GIFT LIGHTLY!
I WILL SHARE MY STRUGGLE AND JOURNEY WITH ANYBODY AND ANYONE WHO WANTS TO KNOW.
Oh my gosh Jim I am sitting here typing to you and everybody else and there is a knock on the door and guess what I just got in the mail at the same time of hearing this great news… It is my green for life book! I had listened to your live phone call the other night and I loved hearing from Victoria Boutenko. I knew I couldn’t afford hardly anything so I purchased her GREEN FOR LIFE book. It came today too!
Oh my gosh!!!!!!!!!! :)
Thank you!
ever so appreciative!
