I was fascinated by Russell’s story about acne and his mother and her asthma. I can definitely relate to both as one reason I changed my food program was I had acne still at 27 and asthma almost killed me twice at 33. This interview has GOT to be reassuring to people who have endured both.

Besides that, Russell talked about losing weight during a fast and not being overweight in the first place, how he works out and why, feeling discomfort around others and more.

This is a very revealing interview about his life and his health.

Oh! Be sure and pick up his ebooks! I’ve got the free one from his site and also the Thai menu. If you enjoy Thai food, you’ve GOT to get this! Also, check out his blog. Lots of good information there.

Enjoy!

James learned about Natural Hygiene in his youth and became an ardent follower of Dr. Herbert M. Shelton, who defined and developed the science, laying down guidelines for food combining and fasting with an emphasis on raw, whole foods. James had his share of health challenges during childhood, including being born crippled and undergoing successful but invasive surgeries. He also had asthma and suffered a collapsed lung. He has been exploring the relationship between diet and health ever since he responded favorably to the whole foods vegan diet his doctor suggested for him when he was about 10 years old.

James was fortunate to be raised in the indigenous California lifestyle by his grandparents on the San Pasqual Indian reservation. They spoke the native Kumeyaay tongue & ate the traditional acorn mush, seeds, vegetables and fruit in season, and resisted the sugar, refined wheat and meat introduced by the invading cultures. Some of his other relatives, cousins, including an aunt, worked at Dr. Bernard Jensen’s health retreat in Escondido. Although Jensen was of interest to James he choose to follow a more complete natural hygiene program of Gerald Benesh, Herbert M. Shelton, et al. James prefers to call his understanding of natural hygiene, native hygiene instead, out of respect for the past.

James is licensed in conventional healthcare with a background in post grad music therapy @ Cal State Universities including Stanford University where he obtained a research grant and has worked as a medical technician for several decades. He reared four children, two home births he helped deliver & raised his children along the reservation on virgin terrain without municipal water or electricity as hygienically as possible.

This interview was done live, in the sunroom before a raw food potluck to which Jimi brough sapotes to everyone’s delight.

Enjoy!

What a beautiful woman Annette Larkins is. I had just gotten back from S. Lake Tahoe, having stayed in a casino hotel. In California, there is no smoking pretty much everywhere. My bad for doing such a thing yet, when I came home, I had a fever, cough, sore throat, etc. I was going to postpone our interview yet, thought I could get through it without coughing. Listen in as Annette takes over the show.

This was originally posted on Celebrating Your Potential when I started that program. It got rather confusing going from raw to self-help interviews and when Alissa left Rawkin’ Radio, I decided to keep it going and make it just for raw and CYP became just for personal growth. I’ve now decided to move all my interviews from CYP with Raw Foods over to this one rather than pay for another URL I’m only using to hold a few shows. So, if you’ve not heard them before.. and even if you have… enjoy!

Victoria says: We are the Boutenko family, also known as the Raw Family. The four of us embarked on a diet of entirely raw foods in 1994, when we became seriously ill. Victoria had arrhythmia and edema and was obese and depressed. Igor suffered from painful rheumatoid arthritis and had severe hyperthyroid. Sergei was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes and was supposed to go on insulin. Valya had asthma.After we went on a raw diet, we healed all of our health problems. You may read our complete story in our book Raw Family. Having been on raw foods for so many years, we have acquired invaluable experience in living on a raw food diet. In our lectures, books and videos we share our knowledge. In this enlightening interview, raw food researcher and author, Victoria Boutenko relates how she has changed her views on going 100% raw immediately and the best ways to go about it while our bodies are transforming and moving into this new lifestyle. She also talks about her new book; new research and how her children are doing. You will LOVE this interview.
