I've had a bunch of people doing the cleanse over the last few weeks and as I have spoken to them as they have gone through it and at completion of it, I have been hearing of one benefit that comes as a surprise to many cleansers. We don't promote it that heavily, but it seems that everyone notices and raves about the significant improvement in the appearance of their SKIN.
They see improvements in terms of fewer blemishes, but it is deeper (no pun intended) than that - their skin seems brighter, clearer, more vibrant, younger, less ashy, less dry and flaky, less puffy, their pores are smaller, the lines on their face seem less severe or deep.  The improvement is often most noticeable - especially the reduction in puffiness and dark circles - around their eyes.

I had a pretty good sense of why this occurs, but just to be sure, I check in with Dr. Rober Abbatiello, L.Ac ND, author and formulator of the cleanses I market.  His response:

• "The skin becomes clear during the 11 Day Power Cleanse because the body is able to rid itself of toxins.
• The skin is an organ of elimination. When your body is overburdened with toxins it uses the skin as a dumping ground.
• When the liver can’t handle the toxic load it sends the extra to the lymph when the lymph becomes overburdened the lungs and skin take a more active role in elimination.
• Bad skin, bad breath, toxic body.
• By reversing this trend and elimination toxins the skin clears up."

Dr. Abbatiello went on to say "The skin is generally either first or last to clear-up, so if your skin doesn’t clear up don’t think that you’re not cleansing, it is a process. Mostly though people during the cleanse generally have a fantastic glow about them with excellent skin tone."

That explanation matches up perfectly my own experience.  It's what I am hearing and seeing, too.

All the best in Health !

       The 2008 Harvest Cleanse !!! 

Here we go again this Saturday October 18th we begin yet another cleanse.

I am blow away by the responses we are getting. I need to post some video testimonials for everybody.

For those who don't know about my cleanses . It's a five day cleanse done through live food , super foods, juices, smoothies, and supplements .

Check out our on line brochure , click here !!

This program is an introduction to the power of living foods.  It is not a heavy detoxification, and has been created to feed, cleanse, and heal the body in an optimal manner, enabling the natural processes to take over, run more efficiently, and to give you a sense of greater well-being. 

The Real Raw Live Food Experience™ has been created and  formulated by a collaboration with doctors, naturopaths, nutritionists, fitness expert,  a detox/cleansing specialist, healers and a raw foods chef.  In the end the body and the spirit  will be rewarded with improved vibrancy and energy.

Our body is the most complex ‘machine’ ever known to humankind.  It has an incredible ability to sustain life and adapt in all sorts of environments, both healthy and unhealthy . However, with proper nutrition and nutrient-dense food, you will be astounded at the body’s ability to repair, heal, and thrive.

Why living foods?  A diet consisting of at least 80% living (or raw) foods provides the essential enzymes and maximum nutritional benefit of our food sources.  Cooking or processing (anything packaged or altered from its natural-looking state) foods greatly diminishes the nutritive value of the food, can create toxins, and kills the natural enzymes that enable our bodies to process and digest nutrients.  Enzymes are responsible for almost all internal chemical reactions, and are the basis of the life-giving operations in the body.

 Through the stress and strain of modern life, our bodies are exposed to relentless levels of enzyme inhibitors (which decrease the power and effectiveness of enzymes) and to free-radicals (“broken” cells which mutate other cells and cause illness). A live food diet greatly increases the levels of active enzymes and of anti-oxidants (which repair the “broken” free-radicals).  To summarize:  Keep the majority of your food alive and you increase the life-supporting actions of the body.   

The Real Raw Live Food Experience™ has a combination of Organic juices, Power Smoothies, Raw Meals , supplements like essential fatty acids and pro biotics. We also include some very tasty  snacks .

Yes healthy can be yummie , you would not believe how good it can taste and what a hit you get from live food . When food is alive you need so much less to sustain you and not bog you down. Thus you thrive and loose weight at the same time. The key is to put it all together in a congruent program that transforms you in five days .That is exactly what we did . Took almost  8 months to develop the Real Raw Live Food Experience™ .

We deliver all over the Los Angeles area.Or our customers just pick up a cooler everyday in the morning. Regardless the whole day is spelled out and laid out for you . No guess work just eat and benefit.

We have added exercise recommendations, even special pre shower dry brushing instructions  and  other additional services.

* Pre and Post blood Analysis are available by appointment @ Real Raw Live.

* Pre and Post Body Composition Analysis ,  Fat and BMI testing are available by appointment .

* RRL Food Experience Supplement Boosters  and Structured water stirs are also available.

* WE have detox boosters, Immune boosters , the works !!!!!!!!!

We have a hit on our hands indeed !

Now to expand to New York and Miami !!!!!

All the Best in Health!

"THE REAL RAW LIVE FOOD EXPERIENCE"

Welcome to the Real Raw Live Food Experience. Whether your intention is to feel lighter and more energetic, re-balance your PH levels, manage sugar and carb cravings or just to learn a bit more about living foods, we honor your commitment to well being and are here to help guide and aid your experience.

This program is an introduction to the power of living foods. It is not a heavy detoxification and has been created to feed the body in an optimal manner, enabling the natural processes to take over, run more efficiently, and to give you a sense of greater well being.

This Experience has been formulated through Gregory Joujon-roche and consultations with  Naturopaths, Nutritionists,  detox/cleansing specialist, Healers and Vega/ Raw Foods chefs.

  Such time and care has been taken to assure you a positive journey and a balanced healthful five days. We encourage every person to listen to his/her body and to honor its signals. Occasional moments of resistance  may arise during this time. you will be rewarded with improved vibrancy and energy.

Our bodies are the most complex machine ever known to humankind. It has an incredible ability to sustain life and adapt in all sorts of unhealthful choices. However, If this machine is given the best possible fuel, the system no longer has to struggle against negative forces you will be astounded at the bodies ability to repair, heal, and give you the experience of greater vitality and life.

Why living foods? A diet consisting of at least 80% living (or raw) foods provides the essential enzymes and maximum nutritional benefit of our food sources. Cooking or processing (anything packaged or altered from its natural looking state) foods greatly diminished the nutritive value of the food , can create toxins, and kills the natural enzymes that enable our bodies to process and digest nutrients. Enzymes are responsible for almost all internal chemical reactions, and are the basis of the life giving operations in the body.

Entering the world of raw foods requires a bit of mental re-training when it comes to dieting and thoughts about nutrition. Rarely will you hear a raw-foodist speak of calories, fat, or concern for getting enough protein.

During this five day venture you will be loading your body with better nutrition and life-giving foods than possibly ever before. Though the daily caloric content has been kept low (approx. 1500-1800 calories), we have also been careful to include plenty of healthy essential fatty acids (EFAs) and enough protein to sustain optimal natural functions.

So get ready to drenched in wellness for the next 5 days and re calibrate your body and your life !

All the best in Health,

Hey, everyone!  Wow, the cleanse is almost over.
Our 7 day cleansers have been enjoying the finish line for a couple days now. 
Our 11 day cleansers can see the light and I am so proud of everyone.
One of the greatest landscape artist in Hollywood,  Steven Vandora joined us this round - he has lost over ten pounds and is still dropping.

Looks like the writer's strike is finally coming to a close, so that makes all of us behind the scenes very  happy.  Not done yet but should be in the next 48 hours!  I think we all knew in our hearts the strike had to wrap up before the Academy Awards.  Striking the awards would have sent waves deep in the industry and would have put off resolution of this strike for several additional months.

Just in TV alone, I lost two TV series of work.  Also, when work resumes I am still out of work because they don't have a budget for physical training any more.  So, for a lot people like me, the strike looks like it will effect my business forever.  Cost controls will be tighter and physical training, which is still considered an actors perk, may never make it back in to budgets.

My philosophy is I've got to roll with it and what will be will be. I think things will loosen up in time, but not over night like the media might make you believe.

Again just got to roll with it .

All the best in Health.

Hey, my Cleansers!!!

I have been getting some cleanse orders from many different locations; from Colorado to France.  I’m so glad everyone is getting healthy!

Speaking of health, as a part of our cleanse program we have the Master Cleanser drink.  We have been turbo charging the Master Cleanse by replacing the sugar from the maple sugar with the energy and fat burning ingredients of my Fat Burning Lemonade.  Well here is a tip and a gift for everyone, all wrapped in one.  Even for my friends not cleansing this week.  If you want to add a bit of energy and even drop a couple pounds but can't take on the regiment of our cleanse, then just make your own Master Cleanser with my Fat Burning Lemonade.

Here is the recipe:
32 ounces of spring water,
One lemon,
Fat Burning Lemonade,
Cayenne Pepper.

Just squeeze the lemon, add a tsp of FBL, a shake of cayenne pepper, and you are on your way!

Now here's the gift!  I had my FBL on sale until January 31st, and totally forgot to take it off sale.  It's OK, I am a small company and I make the rules!  I have been selling so much of it @ a lower price that I figured I will keep it going! It's all a wash for me and it's getting my product into more and more people's lives, and they are loving it!

I recently did an article for the Heath Ledger issue of OK Magazine, for Australia and Great Britain.  They mentioned my FBL and the e-mails and inquires have been crazy.  My apologies to them, I have not worked it out on how to ship it internationally.  In the past, supplements for resale on any level were hard to get through customs; but I am going to revisit this and see what I can do.  Also, I am in the process of developing FBL directly in Australia, for Australia, so stay tuned for that as well!

All the Best in Health!

Good Monday!

I hope everyone who tuned in enjoyed the Super Bowl yesterday!  I do have to say to my New York cleansers that I underestimated your New York Giants.  Wow, it was a good game!  Congratulations!

I had an empty house and watched most of the game with my 9 month old baby girl.  We had a good time; she was hitting the milk bottle pretty hard and passed out in the first quarter.  Can't hold her drink very well!  What can I say, except "cheap date".

Today is Day Four of the cleanse, and the Liver Flush is in high gear for everybody.  This is a great opportunity to go for it.  Really add a lot of garlic and make your Liver Flush as powerful as you can take it, OK?

Keep the exercise up as well.  Welcome to a great week ahead!

All the Best in Health!
