Next Item: For those who have asked about my book, Hooked on Raw, and when
it will be out Ð the editing is finished, the illustrations are finished. I
am now working on eight pages of color photographs for the book. I am also
working with someone to put the book into Quark format so that I may give it
to the printers in January. The new estimate is that the book will be out in
Spring, 2000. Please hold this good thought for me. Thanks.
<p>
Next Item: I am available for private classes on raw and living food
preparation. The material to be taught will be based upon and geared to your
individual needs. You will also receive a folder with approx. 25 recipes and
some excerpts from my forthcoming book, Hooked on Raw. A 3-hour class
including lunch is $100. If interested, please leave a message at the end of
this tape.
<p>
Next Item: Join the Campaign to label genetically engineered foods. All the
information you need to participate is on the internet at their website: www.
thecampaign.org/activities.htm. Please get involved to turn the tide against
genetically engineered foods. The very first step that needs to be taken is
to get everything labeled so that we and others can reject this food in the
marketplace. At the present time however, there is no way to know what you
are being sold. 60% of all American-grown soy beans are genetically
engineered. A very high percentage of the corn also is genetically
engineered. The European community refused to accept our corn exports this
past season. American farmers were left with a surplus of corn they didnÕt
know what to do with. It probably ended up in processed people foods and in
pet foods. I know that I saw an advertisement for a new type of cat litter
this year that IÕd never seen before and it was billed as "the worldÕs best
cat litter -- a completely natural litter made from good, old-fashioned,
whole kernel corn." It is being sold at Whiskers Holistic PetCare in New
York City. Could this be the genetically engineered corn that the farmers
got stuck with?
<p>
Next Item: The Giant Sequoia trees of California are some of the tallest and
oldest living trees on earth. Some of them are over 3500 years old, with a
diameter greater than 35 feet, and heights approaching the size of the Statue
of Liberty Ð over 25 stories. More than 50% of the Sequoias left in the
world are endangered by destructive logging practices. Recently victories
were won in behalf of the ancient rainforests when the Home Depot said it
will no longer purchase uncertified wood. The Temperate ZoneÕs forests are
being threatened with accelerated destruction by the loggers. The Sierra
Club and other similar groups are trying to preserve the redwoods for future
generations. Last February I was visiting northern California and I saw and
experienced a huge redwood forest and it was spectacular. One of the people
in the area told me that I had been in a ÒyoungerÓ redwood forest, meaning
the trees were only a few hundred years old, as opposed to the older forests
in which the trees are thousands of years old. For anyone who has never seen
these forests, please give yourself the gift of this experience. It is
awesome!
<p>
It would be a great sadness if these types of places and the wonderful energy
they provide were lost to future generations because of private corporate
greed. We can do something about it by supporting organizations, like the
Sierra Club, that are fighting to make a difference. Over the years, the
Sierra Club has been instrumental in getting effective legislation passed to
protect many parts of our environment, including the Alaska Lands Act which
added 103 million acres of protected national parks, wildlife refuges and
wilderness areas, passage of the Antarctica Environmental Protection Act,
which prohibits mining in Antarctica for at least another 50 years, and The
California Desert Protection Act. The clubÕs efforts through the activism of
people like you and me, helped push passage of the EPA's new clean air
standards to reduce the levels of dangerous soot and smog in our air. The
Sierra Club can be reached at (415) 977-5500. Check out their website at:
www.sierraclub.org

Next Item: If at any time you would like to bypass the hotline and leave a
message for me, please press the star sign on your phone, wait for the beep
and then leave a message.
<p>
Next Item: There are three living foods institutes I can recommend. These
institutes are set up as schools where you can learn the entire living foods
program. The Ann Wigmore Institute in Aguada, Puerto Rico, offers a
comprehensive program in a very loving and supportive atmosphere. They have
classes on all aspects of health, which begin at daybreak with Yoga by the
Sea. They have luscious tropical fruits, including coconuts like youÕve
never seen in New York. You could live very happily on the coconut water,
which I did for a few days while I was there, and the coconut meat is soft
like custard. This is my favorite live food institute, because of the
tropical setting and the relaxed and loving atmosphere. Call for more
information (787) 868-6307. From time to time this institute also offers
work exchange programs for those who are able to spend at least three months
there.
<p>
The Optimum Health Institute of San Diego (in California) is a 2-3 week
program, but you can go for one week also. Check-in is on Sunday. They
offer a comprehemsive program covering many aspects of health maintenance,
including mental and emotional detoxification, as well as the physical.
Spiritual matters are also addressed in the classes. Their prices are super
reasonable at $400. per week shared room or $550. private. For information
and a brochure call (619) 464-3346.
<p>
The Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida, also started by
Dr. Ann Wigmore in Boston, but now run by Brian Clement, also offers a very
comprehensive program. They do Live Blood Analysis while you are there so
that you can monitor the progress of your own blood picture. This is quite
fascinating and you are able to actually see with your own eyes how the
bloodstream cleans up on living food. Recommended for those that need
tangible proof. For prices and a brochure, call (561) 471-8876.
<p>
If you would like to speak with me, please leave a message after the beep.
