As the Amazing Starr Barr's "chief mixologist".... many of you know I am always testing, concocting, making, creating, blending, whipping and sampling smoothies, elixirs, soups, tonics and concoctions of the highest order..... those that I've worked with and those that have tried my ever-changing and expanding concoctions and "heal-elixirs" know that I am always in search of the best of the best when it come to products, superfoods, superherbs, ideas and options that are of top notch quality, integrity and taste!

Over many years of concocting...I have found a "pristine" hidden gem in the superfood arena.
Some of the best products I have ever tried!

Check out Radical Health Research- David and Yemiah Favor

David and Yemiah share together nearly 50 years of Raw Food Experience & Consciousness technologies.

http://www.radicalhealth.com/raw-food-diet/people/favor-david.html

I am sooo excited to share the message with all those interested in really optimizing their health and comprehending the meaning behind the word "superfood". We use it loosely in the RAW world but what does all this mean?

We will be doing a LIVE conference call with David Favor and his wife Yemiah to distinguish the distinct differences in quality, introduce new ones, review the basics and ramp up a plan for those that are veterans!

Call is 7:30 PM CST at 218-862-1115, ID 44065#.

Learn:

-What qualifies any food as a superfood and what the differences are between raw foods

-How to maximize and optimize the use of superfoods in your daily regimen

-Learn the top raw superfoods and why

-learn where the best of the best superfoods come from and how to ensure pristine quality

-Learn how to move past certain remedial agents and get on a true health program that create results

-Learn strategies on how to consume high levels of nutrients & minerals that can really transform your health

As announced at the January potluck , our goal is to have a speaker every month. My goal is to have an extraordinary experience with David & Yemiah LIVE at one of our upcoming events...
They rarely travel so this would be a huge honor and super event.

Our Special Guest this month
Bob McCauley is a modern-day health crusader, in the same vein as Paul Bragg and Jack LaLanne. He not only advocates the raw food approach to Achieving Great Health but through his engaging and extremely informative lectures, also emphasizes the importance of hydrating the body and incorporating spirulina, chlorella, probiotics, daily exercise and positive mental attitude. Bob's latest book was summed up by none other than Gabriel Cousins, M.D., in his introduction:
"Achieving Great Health in 90 days or less is one of the most inspiring live food and health book primers that I have seen. Bob McCauley distictly understands the mystery of creating optimal vibrant health. He shares it though the medium of his own experience, which is the real foundation of healing. This book, like Bob McCauley, is a winner." - Gabriel Cousins, M.D.


Testimonial from Jack LaLanne interview with Bob McCauley:
"Bob McCauley is one of the finest men I have ever known. He spends his time helping people, giving them the truth and I hope that each and every one of you listening to us this morning will do something for the most important person on Earth: you!" ? Jack LaLanne
