Today, November 14th, is World Diabetes Day. On this day over 700 monuments around the world including the Empire State Building in New York and the London Eye in England are being lit up with blue lights.
Millions of people are gathering together for activities in Argentina, Slovenia, Italy, France and hundreds of other countries around the world. Poland ? Where is Poland on the list?
However, what you won’t see at these events is information about reversing diabetes naturally through raw and living foods.
The closest that the World Diabetes Day website comes is to mention that it is important to “eat a healthy diet”, with no explanation of what this means. Instead they talk about managing diabetes through drugs (not a surprise since they list 12 drug companies on their home page as sponsors).
So, in honor of the millions of diabetics around the world who are not being told the full truth about their disease today sixteen raw food experts are giving away a whole array of information in support of the documentary film “Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days.”
Also, if you’re not a diabetic and think that diabetes doesn’t affect you, then ponder this:
“Diabetes costs the United States alone $174 billion a year. That’s about as much as the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and the global war on terror combined.”
The drug companies are working hard to push their drugs. We could use your help today in letting people know the truth. If you know any diabetics, then please let them know about the information we’re giving away today. All it takes is one email or one call to change somebody’s life forever.
Read how it changed Lawrence Pintard’s life:
“When the doctor told me that my blood sugar was out of whack (384 blood sugar level – normal is 80 to 100) and that I would be on medicine the rest of my life, I told him no way. I didn’t know where or what I was going to do to get help, and then I heard Dr. Cousens on Coast to Coast AM radio and found the DVD’s of “Simply Raw” and “Raw for Life” and bought them and now my life has changed.
I have completely changed what I eat and have so much more life and energy now. My doctor has taken me off of all of my diabetes medications as well as my cholesterol medications. My blood sugar level is down to the 140 range now and is still going down. I am telling all my family members, friends, Church brothers and sisters, and truckers (because I am one) when they give me the opportunity.
Well, I am so thankful to you all you for what you are doing, Thanks!”
Again, let’s don’t miss the opportunity to see the TRUTH!

Dear David: I’m a big fan of all the shows and just wanted to put that out there, I’ve been listening to everything. Quick question is, my daughter has a very severe peanut allergy and we just found this out and was wondering if you knew of any remedy or any solution to that? Is there anything out there for that?
Dave: Okay, that’s an excellent question. These things can change over time, it depends on a child’s age. Sometimes allergies will come and then go. Peanut allergies are caused by two things. One is the, an actual allergy to alfatoxin and a few other mold residues. It’s actually the residue of the mold, not the mold itself that can actually cause an allergic reaction. That’s one cause and then another cause is just a reaction to the proteins in the peanut itself. What I’d recommend is first giving your daughter lots of MSM. That’s a really great way to, if she’s ever having allergies or about to have a real strong allergic reaction or you know she’s going to have something that she might be allergic to in it, just put some MSM in her water. MSM is a powder. It is made out of pine trees and it comes out of lumbar, it’s a by-product of the lumber industry and is found in all living things and is a very powerful chelator of proteins that are foreign to your immune system so when your immune system doesn’t know what’s going on, MSM can help your immune system identify what’s happening and to basically chelate out the foreign protein and it stops an allergy.
There’s another thing too and that is our own urine is a very powerful anti-allergic, hypoallergenic substance and what that means is is that if somebody’s having an allergic reaction, especially if it’s a deadly reaction, I’ve actually seen this one time, there was a guy who came to David Jubb’s lecture almost died from an allergy and David Jubb basically told him, hey, drink your own urine and he did and it saved his life and that’s really important to know in a very severe reaction. So there’s another thing too about allergies and that is, this is basically liver stuff and basically if you’ve looked at some of the research on pesticides and just overall chemical solvents in the environment, a lot of kids now have 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 different pesticide residues that are over the carcinogenic levels at the age of like 5, 7, 8, it’s outrageous what’s happening these days.

...in memory of a discussion with Jack the other day…
I don’t talk about my habits if I don’t want to.
I don’t talk about raw food if not asked about.
This is a decision I made a while ago, after trying to preach people, who didn’t want to listen about something that doesn’t seem interesting enough for them. And that’s fine. Perfect!
If I have a feeling like talking about chocolate I made today , I will just have a conversation with myself. Why not, right?
We all should be aware of somebody’s personal space.
If there is no place for my choco-story, I will not go there without permission anymore, although it wasn’t like so a while ago.
Anyways.
This story is about raw food discussion I was trying to avoid on this beautiful evening back in September.
Jacek ( Jack ) , you are an incredible guy. I owe you a lot and adore your brain
I am using our last mini-discussion of some sort to talk about one subject.
Don’t mind me this. It is not personal.
The subject of the discussion is below.
If you watched this video – fine, if not – fine also, because the video was only a cover to pick a little argument.
After listening to this lecture, Jack made a statements :
there is no logic in David Wolfe’s presentation
David Wolfe is a bad marketer and entrepreneur
Raw Food is just another fashion and trend
Obviously Jack got bored and the whole chocolate thing that David is talking about is a bluff.
First of all, I knew that talking about chocolate over and over again might be risky for David Wolfe.
If you watched Rawkathon with Kevin Gianni and David Wolfe you might have noticed that Kevin got a little bit picky..what i simply loved!
Kevin Gianni said to Avocado : - Let’s don’t talk about chocolate today.
I love what David Wolfe is doing for raw food/life food/pick performance health subject.
Without him we wouldn’t have this massive vegan/vegetarian/living foods/wellness and health attack.
Without him people wouldn’t know that one can cure diabetes in 30 days ( watch the movie below : A MUST!)
Without his marketing skills we will not know much about Gabriel Cousin, Dr. Mercola, Victoras Kulvinskas and all these amazing, educated teachers.
Without him I could be eating pasta over and over again thinking that because I don’t eat meat I am healthy and my body rocks.
It all brings me to the first statement :
No matter what does it mean ” a good marketer ” , David Wolfe influenced lives of thousand of people, helped them to find different way to approach their health and I am even brave enough to say : and they all got better.
But what I am aware of also is that everything in an excess might be dangerous.
That is why the whole talk about chocolate fame must quiet for some time.
People started being attached to the words like : raw foodist ( although I use this name also to describe clearly who I am thinking of ) , chocolatier, superfoodist.
Instead of talking about health seriously we started talking about raw food diet as a cool way to spend some time or detoxify.
If we use this rhetoric to just describe a subject – fine. As long as we are really committed to search and find the most healthy way of living.
But if – before even studding the whole nutrition topic, we call ourselves cool names like : rawvolta, without focusing strongly on improving the health, it is possible that we are fooling around with another diet, on salad this time instead of pasta-marinara.
I know, I’ve been there. I was “RAWVOLTA” after my first day of raw. One gets this nice high and wants to belong, I guess.
But on the other side, I don’t like cliche.
I don’t really go to raw food retreats anymore, unless there is bunch of people that I can learn from.
Yes, I love sweat lodges. But this is not my priority to decide if I want spend money for a trip.
This brings me to another subject :
RAW FOOD AS FASHION
I already wrote a post about it HERE, but let me take another look at this subject. Is a Raw Food Movement a fashion?
The first thought that comes to my mind is : Is making grills in a basement of the house a fashion? Can we consider seeking an improvement in any area of our life a fashion ?
The whole chicken/pork/egg diet is so far from my interest like raw food diet for Jack, so all I can say is : if something is beyond my reach – it is a some sort of fashion, somebody else’s trend.
Going to steak houses.
Going to chinese restaurants.
Making grill parties. Grilling, grilling and grilling through the summer….to the point when one can not find a grill at the store by the end of August.
This type of having fun doesn’t exist in my world and is almost unrecognizable as FUN.
If fashion is the way people behave and the reasons they stay together in a period of time – everything that is related to the gathering is a fashion.
Is eating the best food ever, the greenest, the purest a trend?
When did it ( the trend ?) start ? I must say : I feel ashamed to even explain this, ask questions – that’s like talking about why we even trying to breath the freshest air.
My health interest started when I was able to make my own decision and when I went vegetarian ( or partially ) and this move was made based on THE KNOWLEDGE I HAD. I was doing MY BEST. I used to love to party – unfortunately, but on the other hand I was always having some vitamins and minerals ( again, based on the knowledge I had that time ) and I was doing fasts from time to time.
That is why Raw Food is not a trend for me .
I was vegetarian, then I went vegan and consciously choosing I started my raw journey. This is the only next step I could have made.
We call it raw to simplify, but we could describe it in many ways.
Also, if some want to call it “fashion” I don’t care. I opt for this type of fashion rather then a fashion of smoking, drinking vodka or having sausage parties in a basement.
If at the bottom of a fashion is a care that we give to ourselves – I will go this direction no matter what type of trend it is.
I believe that people can be brainwashed on eggs and ham. Listen to the mothers advising bacon strips to their children in restaurants.
I believe the raw food movement can make meat eaters angry because RAW FOOD is not only about spirulina, goji berries and salad a day. It is not even about supplements.
RAW FOOD is mainly about :
LETTING GO OF ADDICTIONS TO FOOD,
working on my attachments and habits,
quiting smoking,
quiting dairy,
daily blending,
taking back my power to decide what is the best for me to do for my health needs (again: David Wolfe and the power to decide with money)
How hard is to give up a swiss cheese for someone who eats it every day only I know, although as soon as my husband started calling it “cows blood” I have never looked back.
My point is : fashion or not, if the THING, MOVEMENT enriches peoples lives, changes them for better, makes them more happy, healthy – I am fine with calling raw foods names. I am going to follow advise of people who teach something meaningful.
I might find my own twist after a while and search around for broader approaches though.
The harder one wants to avoid to follow ( to tie to something ) the stronger one will stick with the stubborness, which is basically the same thing, just a different variation of a bond.
These are big voices in nutrition, longevity, marketing topics.
They all AVOID HARM.
They all have more then standard methods to approach the life.
Maybe for somebody who doesn’t look for changes, all the rest who is interested in life and health improvements on raw seems like a hippie sort of community.
But as David Wolfe said already , the Hippie ignored major thing : they put flowers into their hair, but forgot to eat them.
So, yes, my friend, Jack, Raw Food can be called fashion and it means nothing. Just another word or label. What’s important is the changes people experience through getting know this trend if you want to call it such.
Once you’ve sad that homeopathy does not work at all and if people get better it’s because of their minds, believes.
I would say that whole life is a Body-Mind game and we seem to forget about this indisputable connection.
The mind works both ways; if one builds a picture of not working homeopathy or spirulina smoothie then that’s what it will be – a bluff.
This is the Power of the Mind. And if you don’t believe in this new-age talking, just visualize this nice, hot chick with you….under you….on you….And tell me now : does the mind-body connection exist or not ?
If you remember, The Raw Summit was an online teleseminar that introduced raw food nutrition to thousands of people. The Rawkathon is Kevin’s attempt to create something even more beneficial.
This time Kevin has created a collection of one-on-one videointerviews with 15 of the top raw and living food stars on the planet and they’ll be broadcast for us all to watch or listen to in a few short weeks, starting on October the 19th.
The live sessions run from 8-10pm Eastern Time October 19-26th. Again, every session is available for a full 24 hours.
If you miss any of the sessions or – even better – if you want copies for later review, you’ll be given the opportunity to order written transcripts, MP3s, or DVDs of any of the sessions. This gives the people behind this event to generate some income from it.
JOIN ME!
I am very very excited to see and listen the Raw Living Foods Experts and I already joined the program!
I’ve been eating 100% raw for most of the time but I know there is amazing knowledge behind those eyes and hearts of experts. The more I can learn the more I can teach other people.
The world is giving me an abundance of goodies right now !
Three years ago, when I left my SAD country – Poland – I had no idea what will happen to me. I knew I’ll be fine.
Some witch told me: ” You will find an accomplishment” . ( thank You Ms witch).
Two years ago I was a part of a yoga workshop withGregor Singletonin Appleton. When he was helping me with some power yoga tricks by touching my calves..I knew the witch was right! I knew I have just started my journey..
SO THERE IT IS:
