Raw Living Foods Hands-on Training

Some try to heal you with vitamins or herbs, others with drugs or surgery. But the Dr. Ann Wigmore program is different - We Don't Wait to get Sick. The Wigmore Program "tunes up" your entire body, now, so you won't get sick in the first place!

We've been teaching the benefits of a plant-based diet for 30 years in an intensive, two-week, hands-on program of health education and raw foods preparation. The testimonials of former Creative Health students speak volumes about the Living Foods Lifestyle that we teach - http://rawlivingfoods.typepad.com/1/feedback_creative_health_institute/index.html.

The best way to get to know us it to come visit for an afternoon. Sundays we have a wonderful raw gourmet vegan buffet at 2:30 pm. Call us at (866) 426-1213 for dates. For driving directions and maps visit CreativeHealth.us/directions.htm.

Barry Duncan, Director, Creative Health Institute

January 29, 2007

The founder of Creative Health Institute, Don Haughey, asked me to introduce myself to our readers. Following is a little about what brought me here and my work history.

I arrived at Creative Health at the end of April 2006 for energy exchange. Spring and summer was spent in various capacities from teaching classes and mowing the lawn to cleaning. I started as Director in September when the position became available.

To live and work for a period of time, in a living raw foods community was the change that I sought. Since my cholesterol, blood pressure, and weight were too high, it was time for a change. All “health challenges” brought about by not living according to Nature's laws have, of course, been corrected.

Prior to joining the Creative Health Staff I toiled at a career in loan servicing for 11 years. This was a much enjoyed career, and it brought much happiness to my life. I am grateful for the many opportunities during my career. It was during this time that I worked for supervisor(s) that understood how to create environments in which people flourish. It was a blessing to have worked with them. In addition, I work diligently at creating this environment at Creative Health.

It is with great enthusiasm that I continue to direct the mission of the Creative Health Institute, teaching Ann Wigmore's living foods lifestyle.

Creative Health Institute Wellness

Once you have been here you can ask yourself this question: "Where in the world can you better achieve health and wellness in a more positive & natural structured wellness environment?"

Many people have set about to establish their fame and fortune offering some pill, method or promise that ends up very expensive and requiring dependency on their source continually.

Indeed, it is refreshing to learn that Dr. Ann Wigmore gave the better part of her life to share the means of dis-ease reversal and wellness, never attempting to build a fortune for her service to suffering exploited mankind, ill because they lived on the diet and idealogy of our often exploitative and very expensive health care system.

She gave much personal attention to the establishing of Creative Health Institute which has now carried on her teachings and philosophy for 30 years in this non-profit, unostentatious rural setting, where people learn how to detoxify and rejuvenate, and restore wellness by stopping or limiting meat, milk, eggs, cheese, salt, sugar, caffeine, alcohol and stopping smoking altogether, to undertake the diet consisting of “raw living foods.”

Believe when you can that the natural diet for humans is fresh unprocessed uncooked fruits, nuts and vegetables with good percentage of organic unprocessed and not frozen.

Dr. Ann made wheat grass famous as a quick detoxifier and rejuvenator and Creative Health Institute has helped thousands experience and benefit actual cures of life-threatening disease.

Her book WHY SUFFER changed my life from dying to well.

"One kind word can warm three winter months." - Japanese proverb

Backslider's Corner - Back to Basics

Backsliding but progressing is NOT about feeling guilty about slipping. Even if you weren't 100% raw this week, how much better are you feeling than when you were on the SAD?

Every essential nutrient is provided by the raw vegan diet when a good variety of foods are eaten.

One great big Green Smoothie a day is a great start... The rest will come with time.

"The wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings. Let food be your medicine." - Hippocrates

Valentine's Day Special - Raw Living Foods Home Study Program

"To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art." - La Rochefoucauld

The Home Study Program was developed from the teachings of Dr. Ann Wigmore at Creative Health Institute. I put this program together because, as Director of Creative Health, I talked to many, many people who either didn't have the time, or the money, to attend the two-week hands-on program in Michigan. I was going over the books this morning, and realized that we've shipped 20,000 videos in the last three years! That truly amazed me. I knew that there was a demand for this training, but I had no idea it would be so popular.

The Living Foods Lifestyle includes other components besides just raw foods. There is the "living" aspect of our foods, as well as internal cleansing, colon health, lymphatic system health, proper exercise, wheatgrass juice, energy soup, proper food combining, dehydrating, nutritional and dietary balance (lots of greens), and yummy food prep. All of this we teach at Creative Health Institute, and in the Home Study Program.

Surrounded, as we are, with increasing toxicity in our food and environment, eating a pure and healthy diet is more important than ever. More and more people are starting to see that, and I believe that's why the Raw and Living Foods Movement is growing so fast.

There's a lot more to being a raw fooder than eating fruits and veggies. Dietary variety, purity, balance, sprouting and personal detoxification are important, too. Now you can learn about the Raw Living Foods Lifestyle in the comfort and convenience of your own home. Learn how to detoxify your body, what to eat, why to eat it, and how to prepare yummy raw food meals that leave you feeling full and satisfied. The home study version of the Dr. Ann Wigmore Raw Living Foods Lifestyle includes over 50 hours of video instruction, and a comprehensive manual.

The Raw Living Foods Lifestyle has been taught by a series of visionaries in the past century. Dr. Ann Wigmore used it to cure herself of colon cancer in the 1950's, and then taught it for decades at Hippocrates Institute in Boston and Creative Health Institute in Michigan, where she taught others to heal themselves naturally.

If you can't get into a residential program, then the home study program is for you. There's so much material in the home study program - 15 lessons, 30+ videos, 350+ page handbook - that you'd have to spend at least a month at a place like Creative Health to learn as much.

The First Lesson is Free - Examine the program in your home for 30 days. Even if you don't elect to continue your subscription, the first lesson is still yours to keep.

New Year's Bonus Special

Jerry and James,

I just have to tell you that I am LOVING both the book Green For Life and the DVD Greens Can Save Your Life. I read the book in one night and cannot stop watching the DVD. I really can't thank you enough, I feel it is really saving me right now. Victoria just gave energy soup the fashion makeover it so richly deserves. Who would have thought that kale and chard could be so yummy? As they say, the proof is in the smoothie.....

Thanks from the bottom of my heart,
Erica

P.S. The QUALITY of the taping is just light-years better than before. Way to go! You got some fancy stuff on there, boys!
You looked really healthy on the video, James. It shows!

Dear James,

Hi there! I stumbled upon this CBS news report on raw foods and felt the need to pass it along. I don't care what anyone else has to say, really, since I experienced the benefits of living foods myself. I attended a detox program there in Hodunk in 1992 and stayed and worked for Don for 4 months. I am not currently "raw" but I am trying to work out a plan to go back to CHI. I will be emailing again soon.

Thank you,
Lesley Poling

P.S. Tell Don hello! (I don't know if he will remember me or not!)

Raw Living Food Recipes - Generic Recipe for Chowder

When I lived in the cold country this was one of my favorites. It's tasty, filling, and can be served warm by letting the blender run for a bit (just don't let it get hot!). I took a blender full to a raw potluck in Makawao (Maui) last week, and, even without the "optional" ingredients, everybody thought it was the greatest sauce and dip.

This recipe comes from Victoria Boutenko's book, 12 Steps to Raw Food, page 136.

Blend 1 cup coconut with 1 cup water for 1 minute in Vita-Mix or 2 minutes in regular blender.

Add 1 cup cashews and blend for another 1/2 minute.

Add the rest of the following and blend well:

1 cup water
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (optional)
1 teaspoon honey (optional)
1 cup chopped celery
hot peppers to taste (optional)
2-5 cloves garlic (optional)

Now you have plain chowder.

Pick the flavor:

For clam chowder taste add dulce flakes
Other ideas:
add your favorite mushrooms, dry or fresh
add chopped tomatos
add broccoli
add carrots
cut corn off the cob and add
add fresh peas
your creation????

Sprinkle with parsley or parsley flakes before serving.

League for the Protection of Raw Vegan Families

by Jinjee

We have been talking with a couple in Australia who's 12 month old baby was taken from them last week for being “skinny” and being fed a raw vegan diet.

They emailed me a photo and the baby looks a picture of health! Why aren't all the obese babies being taken away from their parents when it is KNOWN that these babies are at risk for disease, whereas one can totally thrive being skinny! The authorities are saying this baby is low in protein levels. But he hasn't been sick a day in his life! Not even so much as a runny nose! So because he doesn't measure up on paper to some government standard of how much protein a person is supposed to have he is being separated from his parents. I suppose they want to get his protein levels up to a level where he will be ever-congested and riddled with everything from diaper rash to colic to asthma to chronic debilitating diseases! What a time we live in!

After helping several families over the years with similar issues Storm and I have decided to form a League For The Protection of Raw Vegan Families under the umbrella of our non-profit organization Ekaya, Inc..

We want to make this League open to everyone who is moved to be involved in any way. If you want to help through just putting your name on our list of supporters or members, if you are a professional person who can contribute legal help, medical or scientific support, or simply to lend credibility, if you have had personal experience with this type of thing and are able to offer emotional support and advice to the families involved, or if you would like to volunteer in any other capacity we would love to hear from you. Just email me at info@thegardendiet.com with whatever information you would like us to know about you and we will keep you in our database of supporters. We'll contact you if there are opportunities to help, we'll keep you updated on our activities from time to time, and we'll list you as League Members in our petitions on behalf of the families.

We are putting together an Educational Package that families can give to the authorities they are working with to educate them on the scientific and medical validity of the raw vegan diet. If anyone has any information to contribute, especially articles from medical journals, studies done by universities, recommendations from doctors, or reports from the FDA, CDC, or other government or medical institutions we would be grateful for this information to include in the package.

The Educational Package will include our film “Breakthrough” in which a Medical Doctor tells us that there is nothing unhealthy about being thin. At the time Adagio was quite underweight according to the charts. The doctor said there was nothing to worry about since he wasn't sickly. He also looked a picture of radiant health and was full of energy with no physical complaints whatsoever.

The Educational Package will also include the DVD “Eating” which was produced by doctors and gives the most factual and compelling scientific evidence for a plant-based diet that I have ever seen.

We'll also include some of the scientific articles we've been collecting and putting up at
http://www.thegardendiet.com/science - I have a few more that I'll be adding soon.

Please feel free to email us with any other ideas!

Yours in Health,
Jinjee
