Modern humans have created a society that is unique in the entire history of man. When reading historical literature on history and science, it appears our ancestors were not preoccupied with pain, suffering, and disease. Life was biologically organic, simple, and relatively stress-free. We, individually and as families, always depended upon ourselves and were sustained, both nutritionally and economically, in great part from what we grew. In the 19th century, more than 90 percent of us were farmers. In the case where we cultivated one crop, we traded with our neighbors for what they grew. There was not pressure nor demands on the average person to gain economic wealth and save for their very survival as they aged. Families, friends and
the first universal stressor. When the elite accrued enormous wealth from the sweat of the populace, they then required a new class of educated people to help them run what eventually morphed into corporations. This gave birth to a burgeoning middle class that rapidly created the suburbs (peripheral of cities) to gain a little sense of the inherent need of land ownership. In great part, we humans have never adjusted over the past century and a half to this newfangled way of life. When radio, then television, then computers, then cell phones entered the fray, mass communication became mass pressure. We not only were concerned about our family and community but now for the first time in history, we were exposed to national and global confusion.
independence. They became dependent upon a wide array of professions. When our children sneeze, we rush them to the hospital. When our marriages struggle, we rush to the lawyer. Occasionally, people reflect on this insanity and ask the question, “Where am I,” and, more importantly, “Who am I?” Our birthright was to contribute and be fulfilled, living passionately. Today, it is more about maintaining the status quo, paying bills and hoping catastrophe does not touch us. Our current fear-related culture is the perfect percolator of physical and mental disease. There is no wonder why illness is the standard and that for the first time in history, babies born today will die five years sooner than their parents.

today’s number of early deaths by lifestyle disorders are staggering. Here in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control actually states that “80 percent of all major disorders are created from poor lifestyle choices.” Hippocrates Health Institute is the antidote for this killing field. Since 1956, teaching and supporting lifestyle change has helped hundreds of thousands reverse and prevent disease as well as premature aging. Sadly, this effective and proven remedy does not fit into the economics of today. Disease-causing foods, living high-pressured lives, possessing negative attitudes and taking medicines to veil symptoms is the current prescription disaster. As a matter of fact, when you suggest to mainstream health professionals that lifestyle is the most import-

community most often took care of their elders and revered their experience and wisdom. There was a rhythmic and natural cycle that was born out of love that rendered a sense of pure security that is rare today. Although not utopic—there was plenty of hard work and lean times—we still knew who we were and what roles we filled. But in the mid-19th century, something changed. The English created industry that rapidly spread worldwide and became a new paradigm that led us off the land and into factories and urban ghettos. Losing our sense of purpose and surviving only to make enough to sustain became
Technology with all its benefits also became the venue for corporations to manipulate the hearts and minds of the masses. They actually created the teenage years knowing that this was a perfect time to procure lifelong consumers for their products. When lacking the fulfillment of family and wider support systems, buying stuff became the unfortunate choice that never brought the reward. Materialism became the new religion, and if one felt they were unable to purchase what they desired, inadequacies mounted. Before they knew it, people were unable to think on their own or have any sense of
betes, heart disease and cancer, are plagues among our youth. We are all so familiar with this state of disarray that we think it’s the natural state of affairs. But statistics on disease from the yonder years note that some of today’s disorders were nonexistent and others were minimal. The only deadly diseases people succumbed to were contagious disease, and those not infected lived long, healthy lives. Data on life expectancy is skewed to make us believe we live longer today than our ancestors did. Barring infectious disease and infant mortality, which modern medicine has greatly alleviated,

From my perspective, it is time we come down off the ladder, get our feet securely grounded, and take back our lives.

Ty Bollinger is a cancer researcher, former competitive bodybuilder, author and advocate for lifestyle healing. After losing several family members to cancer, he made it his life’s mission to research effective treatments available for cancer patients. : How has your history with cancer shaped your opinion on the way cancer is treated in the United States? : It opened my eyes to the fact that our current way of treating cancer isn’t working all that well. My dad was diagnosed with cancer on July 1, 1996, and died July 25, 1996. I didn’t understand how this could happen in a medical system so advanced. People can get new eyes now. They might be able to transplant entire brains. But with cancer, we’re still in the dark ages. : How do people die from cancer if our medical system is so advanced? : We have seen this huge explosion of toxicity over the last century. Polluted air, polluted water, genetically modified foods, pesticides, heavy metals in foods due to the canning process—the list of toxins is endless compared to 100 years ago. It has compromised our immune systems and allowed cancer to get a foothold. I have written a dozen books on health and several on cancer. I have been contacted by tens of thousands of cancer patients, and their stories are always the

same: “My oncologist told me I was in remission after chemotherapy and radiation, but a year later the cancer came back and has spread everywhere.” The problem with the current medical system—especially for cancer—is that it treats symptoms and not root causes. There is nothing wrong with shrinking tumors, but a tumor is a symptom indicating that something is wrong. Current treatments for cancer are just bandages.
: What do you personally do to prevent cancer? : I try to eat as clean and organic as possible. At least 75 percent of my diet is fresh, organic fruits and vegetables—not cooked. I don’t avoid meat, but I choose it carefully. If I eat beef, it’s grass-fed organic. If I eat fish, it’s usually salmon from the Atlantic. And I eat organic free-range chicken and eggs. I also exercise every day and sweat in a sauna to detoxify. I think the best exercise for cancer prevention is to get a mini-trampoline and jump for 30 minutes. It’s easy to do—even elderly people can do it—and some trampolines have support handles to hold while you jump. Jumping is vital; the lymphatic system doesn’t have its own pump like the cardiovascular system does. The up-anddown motion stimulates the lymphatic system to remove impurities from the blood. : Do you instill these habits in your children? : Yes! My four children make good choices for food and they’re always out running around. We live out in the country, in Tennessee, north of Nashville. : Why do you feel so strongly about natural treatments? : Chemotherapy can’t cure cancer. It can shrink a tumor and it can mask a symptom, but the natural treatment for cancer—be it detoxification, sweating, a new nutritional reg-
imen, ozone therapy, juicing or something else—works best. There are two reasons why people get cancer: deficiency and toxicity. Those who detoxify and get nutrition into their bodies will get the engine of the body to start healing. All we need to do is use the natural substances that God put on this earth to make our body run properly. Some natural treatments work and some don’t. Cancer manifests itself differently in different people, so there is no one-size-fits-all treatment.
freedom of speech—criticize me if you want—but at least read the book first. People tend to regurgitate talking points that are against anybody who goes against the medical system.
We are sick today because we eat a lot of crap. It’s got chemicals and genetic modifications that make our bodies say, “What are you doing? This isn’t food!” Our immune system is constantly working to digest what you just ate. I think our problems can be alleviated by eating real foods. People with cancer—and maybe also suffering from hypertension, obesity or diabetes—who have gone through a 30- or 60-day juice fasts didn’t just eliminate their cancer; their other conditions went away and they lost 30 pounds as well.
: Do you think the pharmaceutical and medical industries want a cure? : The medical and pharmaceutical industries have really good people working in them. They may have friends, family, spouses and children with
“A tumor is a symptom indicating that something is wrong. Current treatments for cancer are just bandages.” _____________ : What feedback has your work received? : Most has been very positive. People appreciate the knowledge we give them. We don’t try to push anything on anyone; we just try to educate people on their choices. Nothing irritates me more than a doctor, a government or anybody that forces people to treat a disease a certain way because that’s what is approved. It should be a choice. We’ve had medical doctors confirm the data and treatment protocols we promote in our documentaries and books. Thousands of patients have used our protocols, and they work. Most of the feedback has been positive, but we do get occasional backlash. : What would you say to your critics? : A lot of the hit pieces written about us are by people who have never watched our documentaries or read our books. I’m all for
: In medical school, doctors are not taught about nutrition and holistic treatments. Do you feel this will ever change?
cancer and a majority of those people would love to see a cure. With that being said, those industries are run at the top level by people who care more about money than what is good for people. But Pharma have publicly traded companies on the New York Stock Exchange. The CEOs and CFOs of those companies don’t necessarily want to cure cancer, but make more money and maximize profits. If they can push drugs that just cover up cancer for a while, and then introduce another drug to sell, then that’s what they’ll do.
: What are the most important things people can do to prevent cancer? : The main thing people can do is become educated. Don’t wait until you are diagnosed and afraid to start learning your options. Watch documentaries, read books—not necessarily mine. There is a lot of good information out there by a lot of good people. Recovery 2018
: It’s changing a little in some medical schools. Whether the U.S. medical system will ever adopt nutrition-based education remains to be seen. But I’m optimistic. Over the last couple of years I’ve interviewed more than 150 medical doctors. Every one of them said they weren’t taught about nutrition. For the last 117 years, the medical school system has been biased against natural medicines and nutrition. Some of the unhealthiest people in the world are medical doctors because they weren’t taught how to be healthy. Doctors are certainly brilliant people, but even a genius can’t teach something they never learned themselves. : What do you think about the holistic health program offered at Hippocrates Health Institute? : I think the Hippocrates program is phenomenal! Whenever I have somebody contact me from Florida and ask if there is a place they can go, it’s the first place I refer them to.

ASK BRIAN ANYTHING! HOW@hippocratesinst.org
ASK BRIAN I BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF JUICING, BUT I WISH I COULD ADD GREEN APPLE FOR TASTE. WHY ISN’T IT RECOMMENDED? The very term green juice implies no sugar in the juice. Although many people prefer the taste of fruit sugar, it is not appropriate in any way for people who have viruses, bacteria, cancers, mold, yeast, fungus, or parasites. One of the suggestions we often make is to use the vegetable fennel or drop pure essential oil into the freshly squeezed juice.
I TAKE LARGE DOSES OF VITAMIN C DURING COLD SEASON. LIFEGIVE VITAMIN C DOSAGE IS SO SMALL THAT I’D NEED THE WHOLE BOTTLE TO GET MY USUAL DOSE. WHY IS THAT? Most people don’t know that 90 percent of vitamins are chemical synthetics made in laboratories with the word “natural” slapped on the side. The immune system attacks these synthetics, reducing the ability to prevent disease instead of increasing it. In plant-based food and supplements that have not been processed and heated, there are never high levels of any nutrient. They are almost 100 percent absorbed by the cell, making them much more effective than the chemical knockoffs. You may want to read my book, Supplements Exposed, or view my presentation on “The Real Truth about Health” on YouTube.

Brian Clement PhD, LN Co-director of Hippocrates Health Institute
MANY OF MY FRIENDS ASK ME HOW I GET MY B12 WITHOUT MEAT. I TELL THEM WHEATGRASS CONTAINS B12, BUT THEY DON’T BELIEVE ME. HOW CAN I CONVINCE THEM? I am now in my 27th year of global research on B12 deficiencies. From the thousands of sophisticated nutritional blood panels I have viewed, 70 percent of the total population lacks this essential nutrient. This deficiency causes memory loss, neurological problems, digestion problems and a number of other health concerns. It is clear to us that meat—including fish, chicken, and dairy—consumers have an 80 percent higher incidence of B12 deficiency than vegans. Vegans who consume largely raw organic plant foods have the least B12 deficiency, as Dr. Luigi Fontana of Washington University at St. Louis discovered in his groundbreaking research two decades ago. Why is this? B12 really is not a B vitamin but rather a soil-based microorganism that is destroyed when cooked or chemicalized, in the case of fungicides, herbicides, and pesticides. The only supplement we universally suggest daily is a proper living form of B12 such as LifeGive B12 or Ocean Energy. If you want to read more on this subject, look it up on the Hippocrates website in some of the past Healing Our World magazines where I describe the phenomena.

Andrea GRAEVE Colon Cancer
HEALED AND TRANSFORMED SINCE 2011
A
bout six years ago, in August 2011, I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer after noticing fresh blood during a bowel movement. I was referred to a surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic who specialized in this type of cancer. His plan was to remove my entire rectum and install a temporary colostomy. Later, he planned to reconstruct that area. Needless to say, the thought was frightening and extremely unpleasant. My surgery was scheduled for October 2011. In the meantime, a precious family member gave me a gift of the Life Transformation program at Hippocrates. I decided I would split up the three-week program and go for two weeks before my surgery and the final week after, believing Hippocrates to be a relaxing, healing place. I live in West Palm Beach, where the institute is based, so rather than stay at the institute, I commuted 15 minutes every day. I arrived early in the morning so I could join a group that was shuttled to a local park with a beautiful walking trail. I spent the rest of each day learning, exercising, experiencing therapies and enjoying fresh, healthy foods and juices. I learned to love and crave
the benefits of the fresh green juices we were served twice a day. The freshly grown sprouts and veggies we ate for lunch and dinner, along with the homemade dressings and extras, were delicious. I greatly looked forward to each mealtime. The healing power of wheatgrass juice was especially meaningful since the founder of Hippocrates, Ann Wigmore, also had colon cancer herself and cured it with the juice. And I learned so much attending the lectures and classes that I felt like I had completed a college course when I was done. My days were filled with many beneficial therapies, including one that was crucial to my healing: spiritual counseling. My counselor, Antony Chatham, understood that my faith in Jesus Christ had given me peace and assurance that I would be healed. He made a beautiful, healing audio CD in his lovely soothing voice that I could listen to often while picturing myself healthy. I walked around the breathtaking campus smiling all day long. There was no question that I would be healed. After my first week at the Institute, I went for a routine blood analysis by one of the nurses on staff. She looked at me and told me I should

postpone my surgery. I was healing so quickly and doing so well that she thought I should finish the three-week program at home before deciding on surgery—and she certainly didn’t say that to everyone. As I left that appointment, I got a phone call from the Cleveland Clinic saying they wanted to postpone my surgery because of an insurance issue! So, the decision was made for me. I finished my glorious three weeks at Hippocrates and continued the program they taught me at home. I grew my own wheatgrass and sprouts, and I practiced all the gourmet vegan recipes I had learned from the many classes in which I had participated. I continued the practice of healing enemas. I exercised and stayed very positive. I shared my story with many other people and helped them with their own. My husband also lost weight and lowered his blood pressure just by eating this new way. At the end of three months, my tumor had shrunk 60 percent and was crumbling apart— not to mention all the other ways I improved my health! My new surgeon removed the remainder of the tumor in a very simple procedure. I never needed a colostomy. I’m cured. I believe with all my heart that it’s because of what I learned at Hippocrates. I tell people often to go and get well. Since then, I have lived a very blessed life. I’ve been married for 37 years, and have six wonderful, beautiful grown children. Five are married to amazing spouses, and have given us seven magnificent grandchildren—with two more on the way! I am so grateful that I can enjoy and love my beautiful family as it continues to grow and bless me so much.

y journey to enlightenment started several years ago, at a time when my health was not so marvelous. I was sick for many years, and was facing the threat of death. I went to the emergency room— almost too late. I had lost all but three units of blood and had an extremely weak pulse. I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, anemia and an autoimmune complication called ITP thrombocytopenia. My platelet count would suddenly drop to dangerously low levels. In my early 20s, I was diagnosed with ITP. Later came congestive heart failure, which caused more swelling and edema. Because of my illness, I lost my job and all the benefits of having an income and my own life. I felt as if my soul had been taken from me. I was bedridden because I lacked the strength to walk or stand. I crawled from the bed to the toilet, stubbornly waited until my condition was critical before going to the emergency room. It was the most frightening time of my life. Despite everything, I still had a strong will to live. Medical doctors tried everything to help me, but I knew in my heart that medicine was a temporary bandage. I often

own research led me to Hippocrates Health Institute, and my time there transformed my state of being and led me to my true life’s calling. The transformation started with the plant-based lifestyle, which opened new doors of truth about my ability to heal my own mind, body and spirit. I became fascinated with the theory of energetic modali-
ties and how they provide a sense of awareness about the truth behind the eye. I explored detoxification theories to learn the anatomy of the self-healing body. After all my turmoil and adversity, my life had new direction. Waking up at Hippocrates is like waking up in paradise. It reminds me I’m here to heal and listen to my intuitive body. On my journey to health and wellness, I learned how to be attentive to my own intuition. Now I am vibrant and healthy, and I want to share this amazing experience with everyone. I am now a raw food coach, licensed massage therapist, licensed spiritual healer coach, and restorative health instructor. Many people believe my illness was a tragedy. I believe it was a blessing in disguise. My ailment enlightened my world and gave me the motivation to follow my own heart. It provided me with a new sense of direction and allowed me to inspire others to become vibrantly healthy like I did. On your own journey to wellness, the one gift I wish you will receive is empowerment. My story is one of many, but your story will create a true reality for you and the world around you.

n 1996, I had acid reflux so bad that I lost my voice for 2 months. I didn’t listen to my body until three years ago, when I fell asleep at a stop light in the afternoon. It was a wake-up call. I did not have the energy and clarity I needed to get through the day with the busy life I lead. I needed to get my energy back. Health-wise, my triglycerides and cholesterol were too high. And I was 90 pounds overweight. But it wasn’t until I spoke with a coach about building my business that I got serious about my health. She reminded me that, though I’d been exercising and eating healthy according to American diet standards, it wasn’t enough. She said, “Andrei, it doesn’t match. You can’t get up on stage and talk about leadership the way you are, the way you look, when you don’t have your own act together.” That was a bigger wake-up call. It hit me right between the eyes. Inspired to get to the root of my problem, I started researching and heard director Brian Clement speak on a YouTube
video. My gut told me he knew what he was talking about. I took a look at the Hippocrates website and signed up for their online program. I realized I had to learn what Brian was saying—the techniques, methods and correct information about how to achieve and maintain exceptional health. I focused on strength, mobility, blood chemistry, and digestion. I was pleased to find my triglycerides dropped 50 points. I don’t feel bloated anymore. I don’t’ feel lethargic after I eat, and I’m able to go on less sleep for days at a time. I’ve got a ton of energy, and it’s not a false energy coming from caffeine. So many health woes could be diminished if more people ate living foods. We would have much less obesity, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, or even indigestion. All that can simply be treated by eliminating the toxicity in the body, getting the acid alkaline balance correct and moving around a lot. The reality is we are all machines responding to external inputs and programming. The trick is to unlearn what you’ve been taught by well-meaning authors, the medical commu-

Then I started putting more raw foods into my diet. I begin each morning with a 2-ounce shot of wheatgrass. For lunch I have sprouts with cucumbers, peppers, nuts and seeds. In the afternoons I eat a bit of fruit. And for my evening meal, I have another sprout salad with a steamed vegetable. Here is the best part: I have unintentionally led my family into this way of living. My two sons, 14, and 18, and my wife eat this way. My family walks outside every day. My sons and I are really focused on body weight, strength and mobility training with great results. Even people I work with are getting healthier themselves. If you save yourself through this program, you can save so many others around you by just walking the talk and leading with your own actions.

iving in Boston, I was always confident that if I faced a health crisis, I would have the best doctors in the world to help me. Little did I know that my confidence would be put to the test. When I went in for an exam in March 2017, the doctors told me I had breast cancer. According to them, it would require radical surgery and five years of chemotherapy to heal. Needless to say, this news shocked me. I know and have heard of so many who had been through similar experiences, and their treatment resulted in frightening symptoms and often failure. I got countless second opinions until I finally found a doctor who suggested that chemotherapy may not be the best option for me. What a relief to hear what I instinctively knew deep down! Hippocrates Health Institute came on my radar, since it was founded here in New England. At times I would hear remarkable stories about sickly people who went through the program and came out at the end feeling healthy and disease-free. After days of research and deep thought, I decided to give it a try. That April, I jumped on a plane and flew to Florida to take part in the Life Transformation Program. When I got back home, I
remained loyal to the lifestyle with a little help from a local naturopath the Hippocrates Medical team referred me to. I thought it would take months or years to reverse what most doctors saw as severe cancer. Imagine my surprise when September came and I found out there was no sign of my disease! I was as healthy as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever been. I am a living testimony of what happens when you take control of your own life. My instincts helped me destroy a disease that many others suffer and die from. All I know is that anyone who isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afraid to take responsibility and put forth the effort can do the very same.

ven though I’m 66, I feel sprightly, energetic and vivacious as ever. There’s a reason for that. I attended the three-week life transformation program at Hippocrates Health Institute. During that time, the holistic healing program equipped me with valuable knowledge to promote the well-being of my body, mind, and soul. I still apply what I learned to my everyday life. The results have been tremendous. I feel like I’m in better shape than when I was 50. That’s a far cry from January 2015 when I was diagnosed with polymyalgia rheumatica, an inflammatory disorder that causes pain and stiffness. It started in my shoulders and then I felt pain all over my body. It was very debilitating. A specialist told me that I’d have to take prednisone for the rest of my life. The medication brought me temporary pain relief, but also weakened my immune system. After reading two books, Grain Brain and Wheat Belly, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I eliminated grains and sugar from my diet and weaned

myself off prednisone. Unfortunately, within a few weeks it came back very aggressively. I had pain everywhere in my body and felt crippled. I could no longer work.

As a former maintenance director at Hippocrates Health Institute, I had personally witnessed the life-changing transformations of countless clients who completed the program. Why not go through the program myself? After all, my wife Linda already worked there as manager of the Ambassador Program. I enrolled at Hippocrates that November. During my stay I was introduced to a new eating regimen consisting of raw, plant-based food such as avocados, veggies, greens and sprouts. I also attended yoga and spirituality classes and spent several hours each day in the therapeutic pools and infrared sauna. I loved my experience at Hippocrates. Everyone is

hen I went raw vegan about 13 years ago (March 27, 2004, exac-a-terly), I didn’t do it out of desperation. I was already vegetarian. But I still had some annoyingly persistent health concerns. They were things I thought I’d just have to live with, like fatigue when I woke up in the morning, extra pounds, intermittent stiff neck, joint pain, blemishes, puffy eyes, things like that. I got sick once in a while, usually with the seasons. I thought it was all part of being alive on Earth. I tried raw vegan on a whim. A friend asked me to a fivecourse raw vegan dinner. “What the heck is that?” I asked. But we decided to check it out. Neither one of us ate much that day, as we were expecting a full-blown feast that night. We expected wrong. It was one of the most hilarious dinners I’ve ever been to; that’s why the date stuck with me. Each “plate” was a tiny plant-based sculpture made of leaves, petals and twigs. No wonder each course took so long to present. The wait between courses was awkward. People were
getting low blood sugar. They started rolling on the floor doing laughter yoga, or exchanging belts because they were losing so much weight waiting. Finally, there was dessert, the best part of the whole meal—raw strawberry shortcake. That was the one thing that made me think there might be something to this. So we tried it for a week, making up our own raw vegan recipes. We looked online for ideas and ate a variety of sometimes-delicious salads. And no lie, all of my nagging health issues vanished—most within that week. The first to make an exit was extra weight. Pounds just melted off because I wasn’t eating dairy or starchy carbs. I woke up every morning a few pounds lighter. I dropped 22 pounds in a ridiculously short amount of time. My mother was so concerned she exclaimed, “Is this ever going to stop?” She went mostly raw later and happily dropped six dress sizes herself. At the end of that week, I had a vision, which was not a regular occurrence for me. I saw life like a river with myself in the middle. I was part of the
flow, not watching it go by. I knew right then this was how I wanted to eat. I was “in” 100 percent, no looking back. And I truly haven’t missed a thing. No deprivation, no self-discipline, no inordinate self-control. Every type of food is there in the raw and just as delicious, if not more so. It’s food that loves you back. After that first week, I started going to food-prep classes and potlucks. Unlike vegetarians, vegans and macrobiotics, raw vegans looked awake and alive: rosy cheeks, clear skin, bright eyes. “The Glow,” as I like to call it. Eventually though, I did find some things I didn’t like. Young raw vegans imbibed in “natural” herbs, like medical marijuana. To me, natural health requires natural well-being. If you can’t get there on your own, you’re not there. Period. I even feel that way about supplements unless they’re shoring up a deficiency or are a living food product themselves. Don’t get me wrong, I took supplements before raw. I worked for an natural health expert who specialized in nutritional supplementation. But Recovery 2018
when I went raw, I no longer experienced those health issues. I got what I needed from the food. The secret is that it’s alive, like we are. The enzymes are still alive in uncooked, unheated, unprocessed food and can do their job of healing the body. Enzymes go in and attend to crucial problem first. Then they get rid of unneeded pounds and don’t put a pound back on. That part right there was one of the really special treats about raw vegan food. You can eat as much as you want and it doesn’t hang around. A giant salad is my main meal every day, and every day it tastes a little different. When my daughter came home from college, I’d been raw for about three months. She was shocked. “I can’t have my mom looking better than I do!” I made her a raw Pad Thai with coconut noodles, mung beans, and raw sauce. After only a couple of bites, she remarked, “People don’t know how flavorful real food tastes. All these flavors are just bursting on my tongue.” That was it for her. She became a raw vegan, too. It’s hard to resist The Glow.

y the age of 34, I had already lived a sickly life. I suffered severe migraines 20 days out of each month. As a 6-month-old, I had eczema. My childhood was marked by allergy tests resulting in the removal of the foods or substances that were making me sick, itchy or breathless. At 8 years old, my tonsils were removed; at 12, my appendix. At 17, I had my first kidney infection, and at 22, my second. Between 12 and 34, I vomited bile every three to four months. But in April 1998, my life took a major shift with my first 21-day retreat at Hippocrates. Everything I learned was so different and new. At the time, I didn’t believe that Anna Maria and Brian actually liked the taste of wheatgrass! I was so skeptical that I thought they hired actors to pretend to enjoy the lifestyle. I now can’t believe how far I have come. In 2000 I returned to the Institute to release a big “family secret.” This became the beginning of my healing, my deep understanding of emotional intelligence and the importance of expression. The frequency of my migraines and
headaches had drastically reduced. I met a vegetarian man who I eventually married. Over the next few years I furthered my training on the Living Food Lifestyle and began to study communication. I became a neurolinguistic programming post-master two years after. I also graduated as a certified coach with 1,000 hours of training and sixmonth practice supervision. My spouse and I are still in love with Hippocrates, and chose to celebrate Thanksgiving and our seventh anniversary at the institute in 2007. The very next year, we both were proud to become Health Educators and Ambassadors. We even won the Derrick Brockie Award for our plan to assist the institute with their expansion. In 2009 my mother finally came to Hippocrates to improve and heal her arthritis. I started offering Hippocrates guests free French translations using an online device. The translation service became so successful over the next year that I created a one-week Living Food Lifestyle Program at a destination spa in Quebec. They continued to offer the program for another seven years.

I also temporarily became a columnist in health magazines. I partnered with Paris-based Dany Culaud and put together the first Franco-Quebec health group. In 2013 I invited researcher and author Jacqueline Lagacé to experience the Hippocrates Program so she could analyze the scientific foundations. It inspired her to write her fourth book, The End of Pain: How Nutrition and Diet Can Fight Chronic Inflammatory Disease. That summer, I graduated from the NeuroLeadership Institute and prepared to launch two fully French-translated holistic websites: qilucru.com and instituthippocrates.com. I also organized Brian Clement’s 2014 visit to a Montreal health conference with Crudessence. And as a tribute to Andy Bernay-Roman’s support in my recovery, I translated his book Deep Feeling, Deep Healing into French. It is available on Amazon: A sentiment profond, guérison profonde. As an executive coach trained in neuroscience, I concluded that the focus on leaders’ vital energy is a foundation to their business success. In April of this past year, Brian Clement asked that I give my first corporate workshop at Hippocrates for a business team holding its strategic planning offsite in Florida. What a joy to get this opportunity to merge my passions for coaching, neuroleadership, and health. I sincerely hope my journey inspires you to create your own wonderful life story.

lthough I’ve always known the importance of a well-balanced, healthy diet, I didn’t know how important a raw vegan organic lifestyle could be to my overall health. My journey began when my younger sister, at the age of 36, was diagnosed with an invasive form of breast cancer. I have what my doctor calls white coat syndrome—extreme fear of doctors—but really needed to support her. She seemed to take the news and the discussions of different treatments very well. I was the one who completely fell apart emotionally and could feel the stress begin to affect me physically. She was constantly checking on me to see if I was OK, and we both agreed that I was not the right person to accompany her on visits to the doctor. When her doctors explained the link between hormones and breast cancer, I decided the best way I could show my support was to help her eliminate animal products from her diet. In my determination to get her well again, I began to live the way I wanted her to live. This led me
to a vegetarian diet, for which I was a bit too aggressive and did not research. After a routine gynecological check and blood work, I was told my iron was extremely low. I had ignored symptoms for so long I thought my rapid pulse and continuous yawning were normal. I also developed intrauterine fibroids. I began to see an acupunc-
turist for help with shrinking the fibroid tumors, which did shrink 2 centimeters. After several sessions, I decided that a vegan lifestyle was the way to go and noticed there was quite a difference between consuming a vegetarian diet versus a vegan diet and lifestyle.

springing out of bed with so much energy is a really good feeling, but I still had a large 6-centimeter fibroid, which although asymptomatic, was making me uncomfortable with my otherwise healthy body. I elected to have multiple myomectomy surgery last year, just as I was finishing up the last module of the Hippocrates Health Institute course. My plan was to have the surgery to remove the fibroids and during my six-week recuperation time I would consume only the raw vegan food that I had studied over the previous year. This went really well. I was even sprouting and dehydrating foods, all of which I had learned through HHI. I stuck with the fully raw diet for the summer of 2016 and again for summer 2017. During the winter months, my diet was about 75 percent raw. I decided to consume a fully raw diet during the summer months and 75 percent for the winter months. However, I do know if ever I become ill and am fighting a disease, I will definitely resort to a fully raw diet. Through my studies at Hippocrates, I understand my symptoms and how they related to low iron, low oxygen, and excess estrogen. Fibroids can grow back, but I am confident I have gained the knowledge about why they were there and what caused them to rapidly increase in size. Thank you, Hippocrates, for showing me how to safely combine foods and for explaining growing and sprouting and the importance of soaking nuts, beans, and grains, and the importance of consuming highly oxygenated food.

visited Hippocrates for the first time on January 1, 2011, to support my good friend Charles after he was diagnosed with cancer. On our flight, he explained that the food we would eat was plant-based and entirely raw. I grew up in the country on a small cattle-and-hay farm eating meat. Two of my passions were hunting and fishing. Naturally, this type of eating was a shock to me. When we arrived, I was out of my element. I wondered how I was going to stay alive. But I kept telling myself, “Charles has cancer for God’s sake. Focus on him and quit worrying about what you’re going to eat!” Every morning, we followed the lifestyle laid out by the Institute. The first four days were tough, physically and emotionally, as my body went through the initial cleansing process. What I was experiencing was a “healing crisis.” My body was cleansing all the waste and toxicity that had built up over 37 years. The staff called it “surgery without a knife.” All I

I knew Charles was going to kick cancer’s butt with this lifestyle. So, we committed to keep going. We had discovered the fountain of youth! When we returned home, we got busy growing sprouts and making new foods. We threw away everything toxic: house cleaners, personal care products, foods and laundry supplies. After 60 days on the lifestyle, I dropped 27 pounds and purchased smaller clothes made from natural fibers. At the same time, one of my skin conditions vanished, my acid indigestion was completely gone, and I was sleeping better. People started telling me my skin was glowing! By the end of that year, Charles felt so strong and healthy that he decided to run the Portland Marathon and asked me to join him. In October 2012, we finished the marathon together in an epic moment that I will always cherish. Fast-forward to spring of 2013: Charles’ cancer was nonexistent and all my major health issues were gone. Inspired by all I had witnessed and gone through, I felt a moral obligation to share this knowledge with others. For five years, we taught educational dinner classes at our home to more than 1,500 people. I started lecturing in the evenings and weekends after work and teaching raw food prep and juicing classes to another 2,500 people at homes, grocery stores, churches and hospitals. We also started growing sprouts and wheatgrass to deliver. At one time, we were delivering to around 50 people Recovery 2018
per week in our community. I was starting to dread going to my regular job and couldn’t wait to get home and teach a class or lecture somewhere. Little did I know, I was about to start living my passion the hard way. My younger brother Troy died in a mountain biking accident. I spent about six months trying to make sense of it before I closed my eyes and asked him, “Troy, what should I do?” His answer was instantaneous. “Do what you love, and do it now!” He reminded me how fragile life really is. Living to a ripe old age is not a guarantee, no matter how healthy you are. If I wanted something in life, I’d better get after it before I run out of time. At that moment, I knew my life’s work would be in the health industry. Over the years, I realized that folks didn’t want to make fresh juice every day, so I started selling dried ingredients so they could make green juice quickly. I have coached more than 500 people as they transitioned into the Hippocrates lifestyle. I started chemicalfreebody. com, a business dedicated to educating people through videos and supplying them with worldclass, chemical-free products. Charles and I continue to send everyone we meet to Hippocrates. Words cannot describe how grateful we are for what Hippocrates taught us. Besides my two boys being born, my visit to Hippocrates was the best thing that ever happened to me. It opened my eyes to what is possible when I take complete responsibility for my life and plug myself back into nature. I’m no longer a slave to a broken system. I’m a free man designing my life and loving what I do. What a precious gift!

I’ve been addicted to sweets ever since I was a kid. I love sugar, even though I know it’s not my friend. The doctor tells me I’m pre-diabetic, but even knowing how harmful it is hasn’t really made me change my ways. What can I do?
A
Clearly, something irrational is at play here. You’re dealing with an emotional (or kidlevel) attachment to something that makes you feel good in the immediate moment, and have no regard for the big picture of consequences. Welcome to the world of addiction! Addictions serve one major
| HIPPOCRATESINSTITUTE.ORG | Recovery 2018
purpose: to help us avoid and not feel pain. If they, at the same time, provide pleasure, ka-ching!—we have a highly addictive substance. My approach in therapy is to help a person get in touch with what they’re avoiding, feel it, and prove to themselves (at a kid-level) that they can survive the feeling. It might sound
simple, but it’s not necessarily easy. We don’t avoid pain for no reason; we avoid pain when something threatens our survival. Getting in touch at that level might require working with a therapist. If you can follow a program that involves behavioral modification alone, and not getting in touch with deepseated feelings, and it helps you kick the sugar habit, go for it. But the odds are, just like New Year’s resolutions, it won’t stick or you won’t stick to it. The emotional route in therapy is the one to take when it helps us discover that hurt kid in our own psyche, so we can love and care for him or her appropriately, because we would never knowingly feed harmful levels of sugar to a kid we love.

I have been married for 24 years. We get along very well, but we have no sex life. I know she’s experiencing some symptoms of menopause, but she’s not willing to do anything about it. What is your opinion?
A
First of all, if you and your wife have not discussed this at length, you both must become aware that lack of intimacy can hurt a marriage significantly. It is important to accept that there is a problem if one or both of you are dissatisfied with your sex life. According to a recent survey by AARP, more than 60 percent of divorces are initiated by women in their menopause years. Secondly, this issue calls for some professional help because menopause potentially is at the root of the problem. As you stated, your wife is of menopausal age and lacks sex drive. At this stage, the loss of estrogen and testosterone can cause some changes in a woman’s sex drive due to pain, dryness and lack of desire. In addition, some women report bladder problems, sleep disturbances, stress, depression and the like from menopause. But not all women who go through menopause experience loss of libido. Some report improved libido because they feel less anxious about

unwanted pregnancies and child-rearing stress. Marriage and family therapists and sex therapists are specially trained to deal with such issues, though most psychotherapists, psychologists and social workers may be able to help. Be warned: if you attempt to compensate for what your marriage lacks by engaging in sex with someone else, it will jeopardize your marriage. Even though sex is not the only glue keeping a couple together, broken trust can be much more detrimental. I’ve heard that psychological and emotional states can interfere with physical healing. What can I do about that?
A
Our psychology and feelings play into every recovery process because we are human beings. Wellness and illnesses don’t happen in a vacuum, but rather in the context of our humanity. So, it can be helpful and even important to become aware of our own inner life to see how it’s affecting our recovery. Some aspects of the inner life help, and some hinder the healing. First, let’s talk about the secondary gains that come with being ill, the benefits that illness inadvertently brings to

us. They can be dangerously seductive because they often solve emotional, relational and spiritual problems. I’ve heard countless guests make claims such as, “My family is finally nice to me,” “I finally get to quit the job I never liked,” “I’m free to follow my heart,” or “I never knew how to ask for love, so illness did my asking for me.” One Hippocrates Health Institute guest with HIV said, “Before I was HIV-positive, I was directionless and unhappy. Now I work as an HIV counselor and have a whole support network of people who love me. I don’t even want to [get better]!” Another guest perceived his illness as punishment for his sins. He concluded that he did not deserve to get well and created a belief barrier that interfered with his healing. Only when he addressed his “sins”—actually confessed them publicly in the healing circle—only when he found it to forgive himself did his physical healing advance. If you are dealing with a medical diagnosis, try to identify secondary gains that come from being sick, and get help if necessary to find and uproot conscious and subconscious beliefs that are feeding into the secondary gain system.

SUPERIEUR ELECTROLYTES IS TURNING THE ELECTROLYTE DRINK CATEGORY
‘UPSIDE RIGHT’ New drink mix is a holistic-focused electrolyte formula from real, not lab, sources with zero sugar and no dyes or weird ingredients.
I
n today’s world of dizzying technological and scientific advancements, it’s difficult to know what’s “real” anymore. Superieur Electrolytes keeps it real by using real-sourced ingredients rather than lab-made ingredients. The light, refreshing electrolyte drink mix has zero sugar, includes pink Himalayan sea salt, ionic sea minerals from the Great Salt Lake, and real vitamin C from acerola berry extract, and is non-GMO, gluten-free, and vegan. Superieur Electrolytes is not just for athletes—it’s for everybody. Electrolytes keep us hydrated, give us better immunity, more energy, and fewer leg cramps or headaches. “It’s time for an electrolyte drink with better ingredients,” says Superieur Electrolytes President Seth Bovio, who created the
formula. In fact, his product is turning the electrolyte drink category “upside right.” “We don’t use weird ingredients like maltodextrin or erythritol or rebaudioside or dextrose. We like ingredients we know,” he says. “And we don’t need dyes and even so-called ‘natural colors,’ which are almost always manmade. In Superieur Electrolytes, we don’t add any color but just trust the actual color of the ingredients, and this is appealing to the marketplace.” Seth has a long association with electrolyte drinks, from the days when his mother competed as an elite runner in the Boston, New York, and Los Angeles marathons and received “special bottles” rather than regular drink aids on the course. He ran at the high school and collegiate levels in the 1980s, and
a coach sparked his interest by pointing out how drink aids had switched to using high fructose corn syrup. The coach suggested there would be a future market for real-sourced ingredients. Seth changed majors from chemistry to business, and in the mid1990s, started formulating sports nutritional products for elite athletes. Over the years, interest in electrolytes has grown beyond athletes. When we are hydrated, we feel better, have more energy, and are less likely to catch a cold. Recognizing market growth for seniors, people who work outside, and children, Seth started Superieur Electrolytes in June 2017, and the Southampton, New York-based company has taken off since then. Sales have surpassed projections, and the selling point is the ingredients, he says.
We follow two simple rules in creating the best electrolyte formula: 1. Must use real flavors – Our watermelon formula tastes just like biting into a fresh watermelon and each swallow has a finish just like swallowing a bite of fresh watermelon. 2. Must not use an engineered and/or alcohol processed sweetener like Rebaudioside A which overpowers the natural flavors and leaves a ‘lingering’ metallic aftertaste.
Superieur Electrolytes uses a “Farm vs. Pharm” comparison: • Superieur Electrolytes uses pH-balanced pink Himalayan sea salt, which contains more than 80 minerals, not highly processed sodium chloride, (also known as table salt). Pink Himalayan sea salt has a higher pH than sodium chloride, meaning it’s less acidic. • Superieur Electrolytes uses ionic sea minerals, such as magnesium and other natural trace minerals, from the Great Salt Lake, not lab-made ingredients like magnesium sulfate or magnesium citrate.
“We made this drink for ourselves and our family and our friends as we are always looking for healthy options without sugar that taste good,” Seth says. “Our kids love it and take it to school in their bottles every day. My parents drink it as they don’t want to deal with leg cramps when they sleep, plus it helps them drink more water, a big issue for older people.” Consumers who are looking for an electrolyte drink that’s healthy, has zero sugar, and has a light but refreshing taste are attracted
Better Ingredients: Using real ingredients like sea water and sea salt for elecrtolytes and trace minerals can cost 100 times more than the common lab-made electrolyte alternatives. We are committed to using these better ingredients in Superieur Electrolytes for oursleves and our kids.
Dallas; and running stores like Runner’s Den in Phoenix. Superieur Electrolytes also is the official drink of the USA Yoga regional and national championships. Superieur Electrolytes’ eagle logo signifies an independent company “flying solo,” Seth says. The company is 100 percent employee-owned and does not use third-party formulators, middlemen or mass distributors, allowing Superieur Electrolytes to have the best taste, best ingredients, and best price on the market.
We don’t need dyes and even so-called ‘natural colors,’ which are almost always manmade. In Superieur Electrolytes, we don’t add any color but just trust the actual color of the ingredients.
• Superieur Electrolytes uses realsourced vitamin C from acerola berry extract, the complete vitamin complex found in nature, not calcium ascorbate and ascorbic acid, which are synthetic forms of vitamin C and not the entire vitamin complex. In fact, Superieur Electrolytes is one of the only, if not the only, electrolyte brand that uses real plant-extracted vitamin C rather than synthetic, Seth says. “Our competitors say their products are plant-based and that can include ingredients made from corn. We use actual plants like berry and leaf extracts.” Superieur Electrolytes ingredients also include stevia leaf extract, organic rice, and bamboo stem extract, an organic source of the mineral silica, which is an anti-aging antioxidant vital to healthy skin, hair, and nails.
—SETH BOVIO, PRESIDENT
to Superieur Electrolytes, Seth says. “They’ve been extremely responsive to our formula right from the start,” he says. “As soon as I mention pink Himalayan sea salt, I have their interest. Then, after they taste it, they’re hooked.” Superieur Electrolytes drink mix comes in canisters and individual packets. The product can be found at hundreds of independent health and natural foods stores, such as Cambridge Naturals outside Boston, Health Unlimited in Atlanta, Queens Health Emporium and Good Earth near Salt Lake City; holistic centers like Life Center in Colorado and Wisconsin; the nation’s best yoga studios, such as Hot On Yoga, Bodi NYC, and Modo Yoga in New York City, and PURE Yoga in Austin and
The company takes its name from the French spelling for one of the Great Lakes, where Seth’s wife was raised, which is symbolic of what the product aspires to be: superior, strong, and pure.

REENGINEERING U.S. FOOD POLICY Food labeling policies in the United States are about to change. Here is what you need to know to stay informed. | B Y B R I A N C L E M E N T, P H D, L N ; B E T H C L AY A N D R U D H I L E O N A R D I |

Campaign continue navigating to seek transparency and protections that make sense for your families and children driven by our “Right to Know” and “Quality Food is a Human Right.” Recently, the U.S. Department of Agriculture was charged to develop rules for labeling our food supply as instructed by Congress via the

GMO Labeling Bill S 764. Subsequently, seeking feedback for a National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard, 30 policy questions were published. Driven by principles of complete transparency and the strong belief in your consumer choice, HHI and the POP Campaign responded. (See the complete text submitted by Brian Clement
and Rudhi Leonardi at popcampaign.org) “Informed food choices are at the root of promoting improved health as the majority of chronic health conditions are related to diet and lifestyle,” said Brian. “Clear transparent food labeling is a must and in the best interests of our families and children. Simply, there is no other way.”

Here are some of the 30 questions asked: • Which modifications should be considered “found in nature”? • Will oils or sugars derived from bioengineered crops be required to follow these protocols? • Should predominant or secondary ingredients be the only ones labeled? • How many bioengineered ingredients can be in a food without labeling? • What is the role of digital disclosure links? • Should small manufacturers be subject to the same labeling rules? • Will restaurants and other similar food establishments be subject to the same labeling rules? But while all those questions are equally important, there is one that deserves a straightforward response: What terms should the Agricultural Marketing Service consider interchangeable with “bioengineering”? Here is our answer: The market continues to be very creative in its ability to scoot around any definition that is placed on a label. We propose a radical yet simple approach for true labeling: any terms that are different from the purest definitions of “food” should use the food standards from approximately 50 years ago as the guidepost. In essence, any ingredient term that is different from food of that era would be labeled. That way we’ll have labels that

This includes any in-vitro or mediated gene or clustering of genes in any bacteria or DNA fragments plus any edited gene out of a plant or living species or any insertion of synthetic fragments or gene of any other type. Also included are any next-generation biosynthetic or biocompatible expressions or advancements emerging that we today are unaware of, which in some way mediate the current less-than-organic strains of the plants and animals, including cloning of any type orchestrated through mediated recombining of genes. Included is a process wherein the beginning stage includes a fermentation base starter. A new growth begins with one type of a modified organism which is modified or mitigated by a second generation of an unmodified species, usually growing on top of it or using it as a starter. For example, current algae is modified and grown as a base, like soil or a mold. This serves as a host to another organism or seed of a plant or animal. In essence, the line of this life cycle is not complementary to the purity of the plant or animal species. As a plant-based commu-

nity, transparent labeling also applies to animal or species bioengineering when used at any level for human consumption. This includes new food gene creation beyond conventional breeding, or use of artificial tissues or organs where animal genes have been used in food production. It also includes the use of 3-D printing of genes or seeds, including any bioengineered “bio-sack” or “protective” shield to encapsulate an animal organ to make it more compatible with our human digestion. We know there is a modern-day chess game of food definitions played out by various boards and protocols around the globe. The slicing and dicing of definitions explode into a mix of classification refinement driven by industry needs more than consumer demand. Added to this are conflicting trade regulations that create a very messy policy web, including the Cartagena Protocol, Codex Alimentarius, FDA, USDA, NOSB, NOP and more. As we get exposed to more technological advancements with any mutagenesis or buzzword descriptions pertaining to gene alterations, selective breeding or any other purposeful genetic modification, our food sources are a greater concern. Short of a comprehensive, consumer-accessible database, a date-in-time system may be the safest marker of food labeling. In the meantime, the POP Campaign continues to track the loopholes and corner-cutting in the labeling process for you and your children.

HOW TO SHOP ORGANIC Truly organic clothing is organic from seed to shelf. Here are 5 questions to ask yourself when you shop. 1. ARE THE FIBERS ORGANICALLY GROWN AND NON-GMO? Buying organic clothing hurts genetically modified cotton, which makes up 90 percent of conventional cotton crops!
2. WAS THE WHOLE MANUFACTURING PROCESS ORGANIC? Fibers such as hemp and flax should undergo natural processes like retting to break down the fibers.
IS ORGANIC APPAREL REALLY ORGANIC? Tips for what to look for when shopping for organic clothing. Organic apparel is made from fibers free of chemical pesticides and fertilizers in the growing and manufacturing processes. Unfortunately, shopping for organic apparel is not as easy as shopping for an organic apple. Just because something is grown organically doesn’t mean the end product is organic. Would you buy an organically grown apple if it had a chemical wax added to its skin and an injection of toxic dye to keep it red? Not if you were concerned about your health. Same goes for apparel. The manufacturing process can involve harsh chemicals,
heavy metal dyes, and finishes of formaldehyde and perfluorinated chemicals like teflon to give the garment certain properties. The garment industry is one of the most toxic industries, employing more than 8,000 chemicals , including bleaching agents and dyestuffs that contain lead, mercury, and other heavy metals as well as mutagenic chemicals that can alter our DNA. These toxic chemicals can remain in fabric for the lifetime of the garment, giving them time to interact with our skin and cause infertility, respiratory diseases, contact dermatitis and even cancer.
Our clothing is our second skin. We wear some form of clothing almost 24 hours a day. Our actual skin is the largest organ of the body and absorbs over 60 percent of whatever it comes in contact with. Treat your skin to fibers that allow it to breathe and detoxify throughout the day.
3. WERE CHEMICALS ADDED DURING FINISHING? You want a garment dyed with low-impact, plantbased or clay dyes. Undyed garments should be whitened with a natural hydrogen peroxide. Avoid garments that claim to resist stains, wrinkles, fire or shrinkage.
4. IS THERE SPANDEX? Spandex allows garments to stretch without losing shape, but it can also compromise the integrity of organic fabric. Look for apparel that is less than 10 percent spandex.
5. IS THERE A G.O.T.S. LABEL?
