A lot of you wanted me to expand on a phrase that I wrote a few days ago on the blog…

Here’s what I wrote in case you missed it:

“There are many myths and untruths in the raw food world. I’ve seen them first hand as Annmarie and I traveled around the country for 2 years. What you see on the Internet is very different than what you see in person.”

There’s, of course, a lot to expand on, since there isn’t just one occasion when I was surprised or taken back by information or experiences Annmarie and I had during our travels around the U.S.

Today, since many of you asked, I’m going to give a recent example of where the “actual” didn’t match the “theory” that you may find pretty interesting.

As promised… David Wolfe Live on the Renegade Health Show! (There will be a regular RHTV Show tonight as well… )

(NOTE: The Replay is Available Below NOW!!!)

Last night we tested it and it worked perfectly… so today we’re about 99.99999% positive you’ll get a live broadcast that will be 110% awesome! There are NO passwords or anything like that this time. (That was even a surprise to me on Tuesday…)

David will be talking about superfoods (duh!), nutrition, health and I’m sure there will be a bunch of other surprises!

(This IS sponsored by Elements for Life just like the last one… so there will be talk about that business opportunity as well… though just like all the EFL talks we’ve done, I’ve set the standard that we MUST HAVE to have great content for anyone who chooses to listen or watch! So expect about 60-90 minutes of superfood talk and 30 or so of EFL… also there may be Q & A afterwords!)

The broadcast will start at approximately 7:00 PM EST. David may not go on until 7:15 or so… but we will be here to welcome you!

INSTRUCTIONS: Press Play on the video player and you will be able to view the live broadcast. If it freezes up on you, just refresh your browser and that should get it caught up!

Before we go any further, I need to get this out on the table.

There is NO way I could fit all the great resources on health and nutrition in a Top 10 list!

Just not possible.

So what I did was put the resources that I visit and re-read on this list (and keep in mind these are extremely general). Maybe you’ve heard of them, maybe you haven’t.

Take a watch and tell me what you think… and if you have a guru, mention it below in the comments!

And a whole bunch more…

So I knew that a top 10 would really make it worth you’re time. And I knew it would be a bunch of fun!

In fact, putting together the top 10 healthiest things you can do into this episode, got me so excited, we’re going to do top 10’s all week!

I wanted to do a bunch in one show, but realized that there just wasn’t enough time!

But before you watch this episode, Annmarie and I want to thank you for your support through the first 100 episodes and let’s make a couple hundred more…

Go ahead and take a look now…

And likely, if you’ve been watching the show the last 3 weeks, you’ve been putting together your nutrition and fitness toolboxes.

These are great when you’re in a bind for a quick workout or a raw food, vegan or whole food meal.

This toolbox is one that you’ll use everyday and get even better results as you use it more frequently.

(And guess what? It’s not hard to use at all… in fact it’s harder to NOT use it)

Check it out…

PS. A good number of renegade health fans have picked up the “Renegade Water Secrets” Program… Thanks if you have! This program is a collection of candid interviews with health and water experts to determine what types of systems and treatments are best for your own drinking water and beyond. I realized I wasn’t an expert in water, so I called on some of the best to chime in and give their thoughts. Click here to read more about this new and extremely affordable program.

If you do it, you will eat healthy for a long, long time.

If you don’t, you’ll continue to struggle with your eating habits. How do I know? Because when we started doing this, it changed the way we ate and prepared meals. Simple as that…

I know it will help you…

Your question of the day: What is your favorite recipe?

I like his energy, drive and heart. When I knew I was going to be in LA, I had to call him up and schedule a time to meet for lunch and finally meet him in person.

What I also like about Jonny Bowden is that he’s 61 and has more energy and looks better than most 40 year olds I know. He’s a case study for experience and results.

We had a great afternoon and talked about mutual colleagues and friends (he and I both love Mike Adams and his initiative) as well as how we can continue to bring great information to you… our raving fans.

As a gift, he gave me his weight loss program to listen to and I popped it into my CD deck on the drive from LA to Anaheim.

I instantly loved it. Even I got excited to lose weight…

After lunch I asked him to talk about his own routine and secrets for looking so great at 60.

Here’s what he had to say…

Question of the day: “What do you think the most important aspect of longevity?”

Please click here and scroll down to the bottom of the page to answer the question…

And if weight loss is your goal, I’d highly suggest you take a look at Jonny’s site and programs. (Is this a pitch? Sure! It is also a lifesaver if you get one and it actually works for you. )

Note: Jonny is not vegan or raw, so if you’re looking for that specific type of weight loss info, this may not be for you… but for those who are just starting or need weight loss motivation (whatever your diet preferences are), he’s one of the best.

“A bit surprised, I’ll confess. I had you down as a bit different to most of those in the raw/health internet arena, but was wrong.

Nearly everyone seems motivated by making as many bucks as they can, using all the clever psychological tricks to get people to buy … ‘buy now, price goes up next week’ … then doing the affiliate linking to products, after writing up an ‘impartial’ report on supplements.

Supplements are totally unneccessary and in fact can interfere with the body’s ability to absorb the very thing they’re meant to provide. Yet virtually all raw/health ‘gurus’ talk them up and purely by chance happen to sell them. Check out someone like Tim on runningraw.com who demonstrates just what a load of snake oil supplements are!”

I took some time this Sunday morning to gather my thoughts about what Patrick said, please let me know yours, once you’re done reading this…

Hey Patrick,

I’m sorry you’re disappointed. I work extremely hard to provide the best information possible. I also work very hard to allow people to make their own decisions on what they can do to take control of their health. Many people love what I do, some people don’t.

I am different.

First off, most people would have deleted your post to brush it under the rug. I choose to talk about it, because there are some important issues that you bring up. Both of us are right here and let me say that up front.

I never claim to be a guru. Maybe you’ve assumed that I was, but that’s hardly the truth. I am not out for recognition for what I do. I rarely make public appearances and I’m committed to providing people answers to their health questions.

I’ve spent years now studying nutrition and fitness and working with people directly to find out what works and what doesn’t, (just in last year I’ve interviewed over 100 experts to find out what they’ve done for their clients and students that has worked as well)… I’ve taken the “no supplement” road before and found for most people they can’t fit everything into their diet, so for most people supplements are in fact helpful–which I think even for the most healthful… they can help as well.

But regardless of all that… here’s the real heart of the issue.

I need you and everyone else who reads this blog–and everyone else in the natural health movement–to be a team player.

We can’t fight over this sophomoric “which health guru is right” stuff anymore. That’s psychological posturing at it’s worst.

I think you and I and many other people have a similar goal.

If we want everyone to eat more healthy and live longer lives, we as natural health advocates, have to be on the same page at many levels. We can’t attack our own ranks like you’ve done here. It’s a waste of precious time and energy.

We have to remove our egos. The entire body natural health information is more important than your or my beliefs.

We have to stop being defensive.

We have to work as a team.

Your post hardly echoes a team approach.

We’re all here to help spread the word of great health. Some of us have some different approaches. Some of us like supplements, some of us clearly don’t. That’s fine with me. I think there’s truth in many different approaches. The reality of it, is that if you and I were to sit down together and talk, we’d agree on about 90-99% of what each other believes.

I recently was talking to a friend who had worked for Outward Bound. In a strange and ironic twist of events they happened to get a contract to train a group of Monsanto employees. My friend expressed to me the meetings and arguments that the employees of Outward Bound had to try to cancel the contract. He also expressed the militant approach a few of his co-workers took to attempt to put the activity day to a halt. The story was sad in my eyes.

They lost their focus.

Instead of focusing on showing those Monsanto an incredible time in the outdoors and making the experience a life changing event, they spent the time arguing about how they could protest the whole thing. What an incredible opportunity wasted.

How many times have you heard the story of someone finally seeing everything in a new light who was once working for a large corporation that was in some way or another harming people with it’s practices. Don’t you think that small Outward Bound group could have attempted to plan a similar life-changing event for those Monsanto employees?

I think it would have been possible. How many times have you been inspired by nature? I’ve been inspired thousands of times.

So what I’m asking you and everyone else to do is stop fighting. Simply stop posturing and stop arguing.

We’re doing more harm for the greater good by fighting ourselves… which is clear and dangerous disention in our own natural health ranks. A team with some dissenters will never win a lot of games. A team subscribed to a greater good is the team that wins the trophy.

In this case, the greater good is good clean food, clean water, a clean earth and clean minds.

Work with me here. Work with your friends and your enemies and the people who have different opinions to raise the vibration of our thoughts and our planet.

If you spend your time attacking your energy will be eternally wasted.

There are too many people out there who need your help. Get out there and give them what they need.

Live Awesome!
Kevin
