Hi All,
I am enjoying these cool nights and warm days. I pray it stays this way all summer. Not turning on the the air conditioner is a great thing. Not much going on in July but we are ramping up slowing in August and will hit the ground running in September with two terrific speakers in the same week. Couldn't be helped that's when they are in town. Victoria Boutenko will be here Sept 2nd and Don Bennett on Sept 4th more details in the newsletter below.
I am looking forward to getting back in the swing of things. Having a Not Cooking class on what to do with all that garden produce in August, see details about that below also.
look for me and give me a hug at the potluck.

DR Ann in the 21st Century
I wonder.....
What would Ann Wigmore be doing right now in the 21st Century?
The Living Foods Lifestyle as offered to the world by Dr. Ann Wigmore forms the foundation of crucial fundamental principles upon which her standard of health is based. She established a course of therapy with the use of wheatgrass that has been renowned for its life enhancing properties. She created this through years of research and introspection.
Dr. Ann healed herself of Cancer naturally, with wheatgrass and Living Foods. In sharing her story with the world, we realize that good health is not a secret, and can indeed belong to all. She created a blueprint for superior health and gave it to the human race.
Creators never stop creating as inspirations are constantly 'sprouting', shifting, and growing...... and I trust she would have also. The knowledge she gave us continues to grow beyond the level she was obliged to leave it. Ann Wigmore's perspective of health is that "everything's changing" and we need to approach health not only from the physical aspect, but just as importantly; reflect on the Mental, Emotional and Spiritual sides of life.
People need to be allowed to express themselves with nature in various forms, and to harmonize with their intuitive internal selves. She has said that the mind is very important, people only using about 10% of the brain. Asked what it takes to get healthy, Dr. Ann explained her approach: "Well-being is Holistic".
Listed in order of importance:
1. Physical.... the foundation
2. Exercise.... helps the body to self cleanse
3. Mind... .... receive counseling
4. Spiritual.....connectedness to a higher source
When asked, 'What's our place in the New Age?' she again replied, "Everything's changing"........"I have many more books to write."
Dr. Ann was way ahead of her time, and definitely, on the cutting edge in New Age thought. She reached out to the whole world with love and compassion, articulating her brilliant visions of perfect health, and providing us tools to achieve it.
We now have many more resources on the subject of emotional and mental health. At CHI we make use of this information for our guests' well-being, and teach easy techniques to accomplish healing on other levels.
Our society is more complex than ever. We at the Creative Health Institute gratefully acknowledge a responsibility to teach our guests essential skills they can use to nourish their whole Being: Body Mind and Spirit.
Happily yours,
Nina Levy
Where Can you learn Dr Ann’s methods??
The Ann Wigmore program is being taught at Creative Health Institute in Union City, MI. They have recently finished extensive upgrades (see picture below) and from the pictures it looks beautiful. The program is still the same teaching raw foods the Ann Wigmore way with wheat grass juice and energy soup. Check them out at http://creativehealthinstitute.com/ On August 30th they will have their Grand Reopening event featuring Victoria Boutenko.
In addition Joyce Oliveto in Brighton is teaching raw food prep at her NATURE'S HAVEN RETREAT CENTER. She has weekend retreats, all day food prep classes and classes on Body Wisdom. Check her out at http://www.naturalagelessliving.com/index.htm
Bentonite Clay and detox
….In addition to these measures recommended by the IAOMT for protecting patients while having the fillings removed there is a new protocol being recognize by the alternative naturopathic health practitioners that uses Calcium Bentonite Clay for detoxing mercury from the body. Certain healing clays are able to extract heavy metals, radioactive elements and many other toxins such as pesticides from the body. These clays, technically known as Smectites, have the ability to absorb and adsorb making them ideal for binding with heavy metals. To understand more about the remarkable abilities of healing clay go to (www.AboutClay.com) .
When Bentonite clay absorbs water and swells, it is stretched open like a highly porous sponge; the toxins are drawn into these spaces by electrical attraction and bound fast. In fact, according to the Canadian Journal of Microbiology (31 [1985], 50-53), bentonite can absorb pathogenic viruses, aflatoxin (a mold), and pesticides and herbicides including Paraquat and Roundup. The clay is eventually eliminated from the body with the toxins bound to its multiple surfaces.
When clay contacts "free mercury", as well as many, many other toxic substances, the clay acts with both absorption and adsorption. Thus, the body is protected against the mercury as it exits the body.
In my book Living Clay, Nature’s Own Miracle Cure, I list the protocol for using Calcium Bentonite Clay for mercury detoxing. The clay can and should be administered in several ways and in conjunction with a biological dentist properly trained in mercury filling removal.
1. Begin taking clay internally several weeks before the removal of the fillings. Drink 2 oz. of pre-mixed liquid calcium Bentonite clay water 3 times a day.
2. Prior to the removal of the amalgams begin swishing clay water in the mouth for 2 minutes 3-4 times a day and then spitting the mixture out and rinsing the mouth with water.
3. Pack dry powder clay around the teeth and gums at night and sleep with it in the mouth. Another method would be to put hydrated clay into a plastic mouth piece and insert over the teeth at night. Follow this with swishing.
4. Taking clay baths twice a week using two cups of dry powder clay per bath sprinkled lightly back and forth across the tub as you are filling the tub with hot water. Soak for 15-20 minutes submerging as much as possible into the bath water. Continue this for twelve weeks or longer if necessary to draw out toxins stored in the soft tissues of the body.
5. Hair Analysis Test or the Melisa Test (www.Melisa.org) are recommended to monitor the Mercury levels in the body before and during the detoxing.
For thousands of years, people have used clay to heal wounds, soothe indigestion, and kill intestinal worms. Though the practice has declined in modern times, the recent rise of drug-resistant germs has scientists looking more closely at these ancient remedies to learn exactly what they can do and how they do it.
More and more we are seeing man-made chemical health related problems being rectified with seemingly simple natural substances like Calcium Bentonite Clay. This amazing natural substance is beginning to be recognized for its true value as a catalyst to support the body in returning to its natural state of health.
Be discriminating and select a clay from a reputable source. Ask to see the mineral analysis of their clay and a lab test for microbials. Insist on a quality, clean, pure, natural clay free of Staphylococcus Aureus, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Escherichia Coli and Salmonella. The Smectite/Montmorillonite Calcium Bentonite Living Clays, capable of adsorption and absorption, are widely respected for their healing properties.
