This week's special raw food guest is Dr. Craig Sommers. Dr. Sommers was living the standard American lifestyle, eating the standard American diet (SAD), until the early 1990's when his mother was diagnosed with cancer and then heart disease.
As a free subscriber you can see Part 1 of 5 parts on my site I'm leaving it up for 24 hours. Tomorrow I'll post part 2.
As a member you can see the full-length video anytime.
While visiting his mother in the hospital, after one in a series of unsuccessful surgeries, a mysterious stranger entered her hospital room. He handed Mrs. Sommers his business card and suggested that she give him a call if she was interested in learning how to heal herself through diet and lifestyle changes. Neither Craig nor his mother ever heard from that man again, but Craig was so inspired by his suggestion that he began to seek out information on Natural Healing.
Since that day in the hospital, Dr. Sommers has single mindedly pursued knowledge of holistic healing, nutrition, and lifestyle. He first learned enough to help his mother reverse heart disease and then began to peruse natural health for himself and others. He opened a health food store on Long Island and when that became too stressful, he sold the store and pursued a doctorate in naturopathy.
Dr. Sommers now travels the globe giving lectures on how to achieve optimum health through proper nutrition and lifestyle habits. He is also a certified yoga instructor, certified nutritionist and the author of Raw Foods Bible, a comprehensive easy to read guide to the optimum diet and lifestyle. Craig's website is
I really enjoyed the VanOrden interview. He looks like Ben Stiller.
So why are these guys hiding behind their facial hair?
@sclaysdharma Wise Men have beards that’s why
I don’t think most people have that impression. Not a good look unless you are a radical Muslim.
Really? You are being attacked for your beard? NATURE or GOD put beards on men. Take your pick, but explain to me why any of you know better than Nature or God. Never mind don’t. I have no patience for it today. Removing the beard interferes with all kinds of natural processes going on that Reality Show mind is simply unable to decipher or perceive.
Dr., I am checking out your videos because I have identified you as someone that may one day be able to contribute to an effort to establish an Ethnocentric ecosystem on a manmade floating habitat. I have a vision and I cant make it happen alone. In a few thousand years it may be the last place on Earth where humans live as others destroy themselves and we struggle to overcome the damage they have caused. This floating continent will have far less effect on the Natural world since the Oceans cover so much space and can handle the human presence with greater ease…. as well as our commitment to cleaner and more sustainable living as a Nation.
To give you an idea of the direction I am coming from: My first health recommendation to everyone is Get Back To The Sea. Meaning we are designed for living in closer contact with the ocean, evidenced by the many adaptations to marine coastal conditions. Even our babies can swim and hold their breathe from birth, yet can’t walk until much later. Practically tadpoles!
Our need for plenty of Iodine, something in abundance in the ocean but not so much elsewhere. The need for salt. And much more. So the people I choose to join must be people who get the idea and are prepared for a life eating plenty of seafood, living in underwater homes, looking out their windows at fish and artificial coral reefs instead of sidewalks and lawns. Exiting upstairs to a terrestrial environment on top of their home, which is protected below. I don’t want to necessarily replicate any particular habitat in existence but put something together that is good for humans incorporating species from all around the world.
this is youtube …. share the whole thing 🙂
Craig is the best naturopath ever. I bought his book and I am so pleased. God bless him.
