I woke up around eight o’clock this morning. My back was feeling pretty good, but I felt tightness in my ribcage. The true test is when I get on my stomach and up on my elbows. That puts a lot of pressure on my low back, and this morning it was painful. I have a [...]
It was still dark the first time I woke up, and my head was pounding. I went back to sleep and woke again with the sun. I felt miserable, exhausted, my back ached and my head hurt, so I went back to sleep until ten o’clock. My headache continued and I had to force myself [...]
One of the oddest changes that takes place when I eat predominantly raw fruits and vegetables is that I feel a healthy tiredness at the end of the day, and I go to bed early. And I wake up early. I’ve been a night person my whole life, but when I eat raw, I’m up [...]
I didn’t eat as much as I wanted today, but couldn’t eat more. I didn’t have a salad, because I got a hankerin’ for cooked food and made lentil soup with onion, celery and tomato. The soup was delicious. But I’ll tell you, lentil farts are unique in that they don’t smell like crap; they [...]

I am inspired by a book I read this weekend called The Fasting Diet: A Practical Five-Day Program for Increased Energy, Greater Stamina, and a Clearer Mind by Steven Bailey. I’m 48-years-old, so it’s going to take a lot longer than [...]
My childhood home in San Mateo, California, had a large plum tree whose fruit was delicious and abundant. I never knew the name of the plum until I moved away and ate other plums, plums that just weren’t very good. When I was visiting my aunt and uncle in Washington, they had a plum tree [...]
As I lay in bed last night unable to fall asleep, I thought about the things I would have to do today. I have the distasteful task of writing a letter to my book vendors informing them that my corporation is insolvent and is now closed, and that they would receive no more money. I [...]
My passion is health and nutrition. Health does not consist of taking the right drug or supplement or getting exercise. Health is not getting your vaccines and drinking eight glasses of water a day. Health is the proper relationship between body, soul and spirit. It is vibrancy and hope and happiness. It is purpose and [...]
