Raw (Live) Foods & Healing the Body

• Dan MacDonald the "Life Regenerator": Dan MacDonald is known as the "Life Regenerator" in the "Raw Food" movement. Dan came on the scene a few years back with his unique youtube videos that discusses exclusively the ingestion of raw fruits, vegetables, aromatic herbs (parsley, cilantro, etc.) and soaked nuts and seeds as the main staple of your diet. He also advocates the use of rebounding and does a great job explaining how the cleaner you are in the inside, the cleaner you are on the outside. Becoming a raw vegan has its challenges and Dan has been there time and time again in his many videos (over a 1000 on his youtube channel "liferegenerator") explaining what you can do to better yourself in staying on the raw vegan path. Ultimately, it really becomes a spiritual journey. I have enjoyed Dan's enthusiasm, his raw food recipies, and his simple message: "you are what you eat."
  
• Daniel Vitalis | Health Advocate & Offering Great Health Products:

  I found Mr. Daniel Vitalis on-line after seeing some of his videos that center on health through his own unique insight on it. He has a company named "surthrival" that can be found at www.surthrival.com that offer some really unique products. I find Mr. Vitalis very sincere, insightful and enthusiastic in helping folks. This is one of the reasons why I include him on my resource page. He is an advocate of a Vegan diet (with certain exceptions) and encourages folks to increase their daily intake of organic natural live foods (fruits and vegetables) and medicinal mushrooms like Chaga and Reishi (the King and Queen of forest mushrooms). Check him out to get more information to help you in your search of alternative means to "surthrive" in today's environment with his unique health perspectives.

• David Wolfe | Raw Live Food (& Superfood) Advocate:

  I came to find Mr. David Wolfe after being referred to him from other researchers on raw live foods and nutrition. I eventual became interested enought to purchase and read a few of his books including, but not limited to, The Sunfood Diet Success System, which I found to be one of the best books on the subject of "superfoods" out in the world. What is a "superfood?" A superfood is basically a food that encompasses a complete nutrient source all in one. For example, the Egyptians centered their "superfood" on the sacred Aloe Vera plant, the Polynesians had the Noni fruit, the Chinese had the Gogi Berry, the Inca Shamans had the Macca Root, and the South Amercian Shamans had the cacao bean (actually it is a nut botanically speaking). These foods are incredibly packed with innate nutrients that can "superfeed" the body. I consider David Wolfe an expert on this subject and you can tell he really enjoys what he is doing which is great to see - also, I believe he is helping folks change their lives for the better to become more responsible for their daily diet choices. Check him out to find out more information about what he has to say about raw (live) foods and radiant health.

  MADD was incorporated on September 5, 1980, the mission or purposes of MADD as stated in its Articles of Incorporation were “To aid the victims of crimes performed by individuals driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, to aid the families of such victims and to increase public awareness of the problem of drinking and drugged driving." In 1984, MADD changed its name from Mothers Against Drunk Drivers to Mothers Against Drunk Driving. This carefully considered change was made because MADD is opposed to the criminal act of drunk driving, not individuals. MADD also updated its mission statement to “Mothers Against Drunk Driving provides grassroots leadership to create major social change in the attitude and behavior of Americans toward drunk driving."

Students have told us that positive peer pressure, role modeling and environmental strategies can prevent other destructive decisions and set a healthier, safer course for their lives. And that is why SADD has become a peer-to-peer education, prevention, and activism organization dedicated to preventing destructive decisions, particularly underage drinking, other drug use, risky and impaired driving, teen violence, and teen suicide.
