Charles Nungesser has dealt with health challenges since he was very young. A severe food reaction at the age of one sent him to the Emergency Room in Anaphylactic Shock. His entire body had swelled to twice its normal size. Later his Allergist diagnosed him to be allergic to all foods except chocolate and onions.

When he was 20 years old his throat became swollen around a piece of broccoli, and he could not breathe. A co-worker quickly used the Heimlich maneuver and saved his life. Charles was also an asthmatic. He could not leave the house without his inhaler, Physical activity, such a snowboarding in the cold, high altitude was very difficult prior to a raw food diet. Now it's a regular winter sport!

Since changing his diet, his food allergies and asthma are gone and he now enjoys a variety of physical activities.

George M. Nungesser:
In 1999, while working as a pilot in California, George began to investigate the world of nutrition. The more he read and compared the information with Charles', the more George realized the positive impact that living food has on the body. George says that he and Charles decided to make a radical change in their diet. So George, Charles, and a friend Stephen Malachi decided to go on an all RAW plant based diet challenge for one year. They transitioned from a Standard American Diet to an all RAW menu in one day. If they did not see any health benefits after one year, then they would go back to pizzas, hamburgers, and chicken fried steak sandwiches. Well after the one year challenge, they saw benefits and have been eating healthy ever since.

Coralanne Nungesser:

When Charles and George started their one year challenge to eat only RAW food, Coralanne had already been a Vegan for three years. Coralanne decided to try this conversion to an all raw diet as well. She considers herself a female version of the Top Raw Men™
