Q. What do you think is fuel-
ing the increased interest in raw
foods?
The Internet is responsible for the mega
growth in the number of raw food-
ists and for the increased interest in
personal healing and holistic health.
Technology has allowed us to dissemi-
nate information throughout the globe
in a cost-effective fashion and to share
our anecdotal stories. Testimonials from
individuals who have been guests at
Hippocrates Health Institute, which I
founded with Ann Wigmore, are espe-
cially valuable to people who browse
the Internet in search of relief from
health conditions like cancer, leuke-
mia, diabetes, obesity and others.
Q. There are rumors circulating
about your age. Would you like
to verify it?
I am not into ageism because I believe
aging is a misnomer and a false con-
cept. As a result of my lifestyle choices,
I pass for someone much younger than
my 70-plus years.
Q. What advice can you give
to individuals who want to be
successful in changing their diet?
I know that if everyone gifted them-
selves with at least three months of a
vegetarian diet that included whole
foods, probiotics, sprouts, sea veg-
etables, wheatgrass juice or a concen-
trated form of it, and super foods like
blue-green algae, they would experi-
ence such a remarkable difference
in their digestion, mental acuity and
energy levels that they would want to
continue.
For individuals who presently
overeat, I suggest that they begin to
make the change by starting each meal
with a big salad that includes an abun-
dance of greens such as spinach, kale,
watercress, mustard greens or others.
Everyone should court their body
like a lover courts his beloved, so that
the body willingly yields its inherent
bounty of richness. A vegetarian diet is
only one aspect of the courtship. Others
are liberal exercise, prayer and medita-
tion. Readers can write to me and I will
give them the information they need to
do this.
