RAW FOODIST DAVID WOLFE | David "Avocado" Wolfe's Before & After Raw Food Lifestyle Testimonial

MEET DAVID WOLFE

I feel deeply privileged to even know the information that guides my lifestyle. We live in an age of such ridiculous abundance. With the internet now, we can tap into any piece of knowledge that has ever been recorded in human history.

I was born on August 6, 1970 in a small town on the coast of New Jersey, called Toms River. It is about two hours south of New York City.

I grew up in a unique setting as both of my parents are medical doctors. I literally spent days as a child with my dad on house calls. My dad was and is a workaholic. My mother, other than being a doctor, was and is a fantastic chef. She is Persian. She was born in Tehran, Iran. She makes the most incredible Persian food ever. She used to cook with her mom and cousins for 10 hours a day for 2 or 3 days straight.

Seeing my mom and dad work so hard as a child, I really wanted nothing to do with medicine/healing or food. It was not my idea of fun. Interestingly, the universe often has another plan for us. What do I do now? My work is about healing through food!

It was a circuitous route to get here. I ate everything as a child, like most. I ate meat, cheese, bread, as well as fruits and vegetables. I ate fast food, home-made food, and fresh food. It was all the same to me until I reached the age of 18. Then something happened. I realized that I had allergies to dairy products. So, I stopped "cold cucumber." I stopped eating milk, cheese, and eggs overnight. I immediately lost 10 pounds, felt lighter, could think clearer, and instantly ended a lifetime of ear trouble.

I was later to find out that the number one allergy food is milk and dairy products. And the primary response to food allergens is ear trouble.

When I stopped all dairy products something awoke within me. I felt better, yet everyone told me not to do it. They told me I would miss that nutrient or that mineral. I realized that it was possible they could all be wrong. I realized that we could all have been eating the wrong food all along and since everyone else was doing it, no one would notice.

I was turned on, excited. I had stumbled across something of deep philosophical meaning that I could incorporate into my daily life as a hobby. I started reading about nutrition, started juicing, and began eating organic food. I experimented, soon became a vegetarian, and by the time I was 24, I was on a totally raw-food diet.

While doing nutrition experiments on myself as a hobby, I acquired degrees in Mechanical and Environmental Engineering, Political Science, and a juris doctor in Law.

After being on a totally raw, organic, raw-food vegetarian diet for a couple years and after going through the cravings, the detoxification process, and re-adaptation to natural food, I started being able to tap into more creative powers and a greater ability to perform during exams.

Because fellow students and friends always asked me about my diet, I bought 10 copies of the raw-food book Blatant Raw-Foodist Propaganda by Joe Alexander and sold them to curious people. Then I bought another 10 copies and sold those. Soon I had a small book business going out of the trunk of my car.

During the summer of 1995, I traveled to Norway and England. While in Norway, I wrote the goal of carrying and distributing every raw-food book ever written.

I linked forces with some friends and soon we founded Nature's First Law (www.rawfood.com) the world's premier source of raw-food books and exotic raw foods. And that is the business that I still run today.

Even with the education in other fields, I became a writer and health lecturer. It is fate. Thus far, I have written 3 books on the subject of raw-food nutrition: Nature's First Law: The Raw-Food Diet, The Sunfood Diet Success System, and Eating For Beauty. I love writing, especially poetry and I have many more book projects planned.

Operating my business and giving over 100 lectures a year, as well as conducting at least 5 raw-food retreat vacations each year has put me in contact with the leading edge worldwide in the field of extraordinary nutrition. I have met and been coached by the best, I have been privy to the best books, I am surrounded by raw-foodists every day, everywhere I go, and as a result, I have had the opportunity to synthesize all of that information into the current nutrition protocol I now live and teach.

I realize how blessed I was to tap into this information at an early age. To discover that the cooked/processed plant and animal food I had been eating as a youth was toxic, devoid of minerals, and actually dangerous was a fascinating revelation.

And the possibilities that have been opened by eating raw, organic, plant food have absolutely floored me. The expansion of consciousness, the wonderful ability to see things with different insight, the creativity, the mental clarity, the physical rejuvenation, and the spiritual truths made real in everyday life, all of it, it is all good!

In the past few years, I have become a professor at Dr. Gabriel Cousens Living-Food Nutrition Masters Program located in Patagonia (www.treeoflife.nu), Arizona. I am now also Minister in the Essene Christian Church (www.essene.org). This is a church that actually teaches what I believe!

In addition to my action-packed lecture schedule, I play the drums in my all-raw rock and roll group The Healing Waters Band.

Music was always a fun hobby for me, ever since I was a kid. I started playing the drums in my late teens and it was a great form of release from the stresses of the world. Due to a series of back injuries I had to stop playing when I was 23. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. To let go of something I loved so much. I swore that if I could ever play again, I would form a band and take it all the way.

I honestly thought that I would probably never play again.

After 6 years of being on a 100% raw diet, including super foods such as spirulina, certain supplements (MSM, whole-food vitamin C), fresh green juices, and doing a lot of hot springs soaking, I started feeling that I could play again. My back was making significant progress. So I brought out the old drums and began playing them again, easing into it slowly. Within 14 months I joined forces with two other raw-foodists Tony Thorpe (vocals, bass) and David Steinberg (vocals, guitar) and the nucleus of The Healing Waters Band was formed.

We eventually added two other raw-fooders Jackie Ayala, as backing vocalist and tour manager, along with Bill Greene on keyboards. Raw-foodist and professional guitarist Jeff Caldwell (a.k.a. Wheat Man) also accompanies the band in many of our live performances.

We have just completed our first music compact disk entitled: This Cooked Planet featuring our original raw songs.

We now bring The Healing Waters Band along on many of my lecture tours and retreats. It is so much fun. I am nearly 100% recovered from my back injuries and play many songs I never thought I could play. And we will keep playing the music all the way to the top. This band is inspired.

It is incredible how much you appreciate something when it has been taken away and then given back.
