I’ve been trying to get Fred to join me here on Rawkin’ Radio for quite some time. When I began, I was told he wasn’t doing interviews. Lucky for us, he’s back in the limelight. He also has a new book and dvd out. About Dr. Fred Bisci:
Dr. Fred Bisci has a Ph.D. in Nutritional Science. Fred, as he prefers to be called, has had a pioneering and active practice in New York City for over forty years. He has worked with over 35,000 people all over the world with numerous health issues by helping them change their eating and drinking lifestyles through his Real, Fresh Food approach. His outlook is unique. He looks at biochemical interrelationships, rather than a simple dietary or nutritional standpoint. This biochemical appreciation of how the multiple variables work in the human body are directly related to a lifestyle of what is left out and what is put in. Fred has developed the INTERMEDIATE LEVEL MENU which is the core feature for creating a Healthy Lifestyle Program. His program helps you name your current program and meets you “where you’re at”. Fred empowers you to set healthier personal parameters through eating and drinking various combinations of food as you commit to a Healthy Lifestyle Program. Fred’s main foundation built from his devotion to helping others, combined with his raw food lifestyle for over forty years, has revealed the intimate relationship of real food and the body’s God-given ability to always seek health.
In this episode of Rawkin Radio, I interviewed Kristen Overlock and Anna Forkan, founders of Revitalive Health and Wellness Center. We chatted about how the center began and why; Emotional cleansing; Colon Hydrotherapy and enemas; Protein, B-12 and SAD/SAC (Standard American Crap) eaters vs. raw; Kristen’s challenges with digestive problems and way more! GREAT interview. Please, listen in.

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!

As I say in my introduction, if it weren’t for this man, I’d not be doing what I’m doing today. There was a fair chance, I’d not even be alive today. I set up this interview to introduce you to someone who’s not very well-known yet should be. I was lucky to find him in 1986 at a health convention I’d been attending for about 9 years. He’d been there every time yet, as they say, "… when the student is ready…"
I wasn’t sure I was ready. There were times when I had to be pulled kicking and screaming into life yet, he persisted in seeing more in me than I saw in myself. He persisted in supporting me when others wouldn’t and I couldn’t. He gave me the foundation to find out who I was and to be me.
This is the first interview I’ll do with my teacher of 23 years, Rocannon MacGregor.
Enjoy! Revvell
Brigitte has been working with natural medicine for more than 30 hyears. She teaches herbal medicine through Esalen, the Boulder College of Massage Therapy and Naropa Institute. She is the author of several books, including "Rawsome", "Sex, Love and Health" and "Herbs for Healthy Skin & Nails".
I asked Brigitte to be on the show because I saw that she was well-versed in foraging, wild plants and herbs ~ something many are taking an interest in to assist in their food budgets. Some of what we talk about are peoples’ fear of plants, dandelions, spraying our plants, nettle juice, purslane and more.
We also talked about her book "Rawsome" which I reviewed earlier in my blog.
Listen in… I’m sure you’ll learn something from this enchanting conversation.

Food matters is a hard hitting, fast paced look at our current state of health. Despite billions of dollars of funding and research into new, so-called cures, we continue to suffer from a raft of chronic ills and every day maladies. Patching up an over-toxic and over-indulgent population with a host of toxic therapies and nutrient-sparse foods is definitely not helping the situation.
On "Food Matters", you’ll get to join the world’s leading authorities on nutrition and natural healing as they uncover the true cause of disease, find out what works, what doesn’t, and what’s killing you.
This film gives you and your family options and choices and could save your life and/or the lives of those you love.
FoodMatters sets about the uncovering the trillion dollar worldwide "sickness industry", and exposes a growing body of scientifice evidence proving that nutritional therapy can be more effective, more economical, less harmful andless invasive than most conventional medical treatments.
This is an enlightening conversation. Please listen in.
What a lovely woman Karen is. She’s got a beautiful, musical laugh and you just want to hear more from her.
We chatted about her background and what she ate growing up (her father was a butcher!!!); how it is to travel as a raw food advocate; does she home-school her child and how she deals with food with him; mental/emotional detox; transitioning or not and her business as a raw coach. I know you’ll enjoy this interview.
This is part 2 of my interview with researcher and producer, Mike Anderson. In this interview we discuss the causes of cancer and how one can heal from within; how much environment and genetics affect our health and MUCH more! I LOVED doing this interview!
Raw veggie vegan diva Debbie Merrill takes over the show again with her high energy, rhyming, timing self! When Revvell gets to talk she asks Debbie about her t.v. show and, her new book "The Raw Truth to the Fountain of Youth". Debbie and Revvell also talk about portion control, eating for need, not for greed, affirmations, and the New You in the New Year. Listen in and pay attention! You’ll have to listen more than once to get all the gems this diamond lays outwww.SkateGreat.comwww.DebbieMerrillShow.com
On this program, Revvell interviews Wyn and Cynthia Waring Matthews about their journey to raw and how The Raw Retreat came to be. Their journeys are ones of courage, strength and passion for life and health which they bring to others who share in their retreats. During his journey, Wyn healed himself of prostate cancer and Cynthia got herself off thyroid and hormone medication. Be sure to listen in.Addendum: I also interview Cynthia alone about her book and life’s purpose on Celebrating Your Potential (see www.Revvell.com.)
