Quote Of The Day:  ”Without health, life is not life; it is only a state of languor and suffering.” ~ Francois Rabelais

A few weeks ago I took a short drive to Grass Valley CA. to visit a natural spring called Bitney Springs. In my opinion, natural spring water is by far the best water you can drink. Enjoy the video…

Quote of the day: “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.” ~ Genesis 1:29

Today I am pleased to share with you 3 fantastic recipes for salad dressings. My friend Chef Brook, owner of The Green Boheme in Sacramento, gave a class and demonstrated for us 5 different healthy, raw and vegan dressings that we can easily make at home. This is a great alternative to the high fat, high calorie and food additives you normally find in your store bought dressings. Here are the first 3 recipes. I’ll share the other 2 on an upcoming HFO newsletter. enjoy…

In this issue: My video interview with Peggy McDonnell and Ken Brown of Angels Health Institute

Quote of the day: “We must turn to nature itself, to the observations of the body in health and disease to learn the truth” – Hippocrates

  Last Saturday Sept 26, Peggy McDonnell & Ken Brown gave a lecture about their life stories and triumphant recoveries from what doctors determined were incurable diseases. It was a wonderful testimony to the power of nature and endless influence that superior nutrition can play in our life. Weather you or a loved one is chronically sick or if you want to be proactive with your health, Angel’s Health Institute, in Southern Oregon, is a fantastic place to go and get educated on the very best way to live. I invite you to check out Angel’s Health Int. and educate yourself on the growing movement in dis-ease reversal and avoidance by way of proper nutrition with a whole living foods lifestyle. After the lecture I sat down with Peggy and Ken for a short interview. enjoy…

I thought I would share some information about one of the books I’ve recently read. I probably read about 10 to 12 books a year and all of them in the alternative health or natural foods category. Since Jan 4th of this year, I’ve been converting to a 80% raw food diet. I’ve always known about the health benefits of eating more fruits and vegetables in there natural state (un-cooked) but until recently, after reading a few books I now understand why.

My colleague, Susan Schenck, has a very special offer:

Change one Habit, and Change Your Life!

What if you could stop (or reduce) one habit—that of eating cooked food

—and reverse/prevent disease, become more beautiful, slow the aging

process, enhance your creativity and increase your IQ by as much as 40%?

According to authors Susan Schenck, LAc & Victoria BidWell, PhD, that is

exactly what happens to many people who eat a diet rich in raw foods!

A diet of at least 80% raw foods is surprisingly easy to do with the tips & tools

in The Live Food Factor, and it helps you

Ø      Reach and maintain your ideal weight!

Ø      Get the competitive edge at work!

Ø      Regain the energy of your youth!

Ø      Prevent degenerative disease!

Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet  won the IPPY award of
