An Invitation – Free 21-Day Wigmore Detox Program
-
The holidays are over, your resolutions are already falling by the wayside, and you’re starting to settle back into the same rut you were in last year. Sigh…Why? No, it’s not because you don’t have any willpower.
There are two reasons: homeostasis and toxicity.
Homeostasis is the body’s natural tendency to want to continue to do what it’s been doing. The body doesn’t know that something is unhealthy – all it knows is that it’s surviving with the current chemical balance. Thus, it’s tissue’s nature to resist change. This is a natural survival mechanism of your body.
Toxicity is the cause of all dis-ease. When we put toxins into the body faster than they can be processed out, the body stores the toxins in fat cells, to protect us. Accumulate enough toxins in your fat cells and you’ll begin developing health challenges.
Toxicity is why I was unable to lose weight before I went on Dr. Ann’s program. My body was highly toxic, and was storing the toxins in my fat cells to protect me. My vegetarian diet was still non-organic, processed foods, so my body never got a chance to heal itself.
Once I went on a regime of raw, living, organic, uncooked foods my body was able to process those toxins and eliminate them. I not only lost 30 lbs. in 30 days, my arthritus disappeared, my mental processes became sharper, I had more energy and I was happier – all of the time. [Legal: see the "typical benefits" statement]
Dr. Flora van Orden III has a PhD in nutrition, was Dr. Ann Wigmore’s personal assistant for 22+ years, traveled the world with Dr. Ann, and has been a Wigmore Practitioner for 40 years.Flora has graciously agreed to run a 21-day Wigmore-based Detoxification and Rejuvenation program for us. This program is designed to get us back on track to a healthy, non-toxic lifestyle.
The program starts on Monday, March 1st, and will be internet-based. That is, we’ll email you the plans, goals and recipes for each day, and coaching and interaction will be done though comments on this website, at the bottom of each day’s page (see the Comment section, below).
This program is free.
Flora and I will endeavor to answer all of your questions in a timely manner.
The sign up form is below. All we need is your name and email address.
After you click on “Sign up” in the box below, be sure to check your email box for the confirmation letter I’m going to send you. If you don’t see it within a few minutes of signing up, please check your junk mail folder.
It’s important that you follow the confirmation instructions on the follow-up email, and that you add “editor@rawfriends.com” to your email white list or address book, to make sure that Dr. Flora’s daily letters get through to you.
Please, come join us! I promise we’ll make it fun!
Rawsomely Yours,
Jim Carey

How do I join up I can find no sign up box. Thanks
January 26, 2010 pm31 3:31 am
Drat. It requires Java Script to be enabled in your browser.
It should be between my name and the bookmarks icon, above. A pale beige color box that says Name and Email.
I’ll write another one in standard html code.
Thanks for letting me know, Jackie!
January 27, 2010 pm31 5:13 am
OK, Jackie, done. The new signup form is plain html code, and should work in any browser on any system. Please let me know if you don’t see it, or it doesn’t work.

Will you be sending information, in advance, about how to be best prepared (such as having sprouts and wheatgrass on hand)?
January 30, 2010 pm31 12:54 pm
I’m not sure what Dr. Flora has in mind, Maryalice. But knowing Flora I’m sure it’ll be quite organized. I’m just the technician this time, this is Flora’s baby! LOL
January 30, 2010 pm31 1:06 pm
Thanks Jim, and in advance, thanks Dr. Flora. I feel half in and half out of this site though having neither a video player facility or broadband, however I/we soldier on.
January 30, 2010 pm31 1:20 pm
I understand, Jackie. You’ve stumbled upon the website I built “for the future.” My “in the present” websites are http://chidiet.com and http://chidiet.com/blog/
You’re a trooper, if you’re doing this on dialup. The detox program will be all email based, with no video, so you’ll do fine.
January 31, 2010 pm31 3:34 pm
THANK YOU Jim..I am sending you a hug of appreciation. Jackie
February 1, 2010 pm31 1:05 am
Where is the detox program going to be?
February 1, 2010 pm31 1:27 am
It’s going to be via email, so you can do it at home.
February 1, 2010 pm31 8:15 am
I just signed up for this. However, I will be traveling from March 5-7 and am wondering if the program will still be doable for me.
Thanks.
February 1, 2010 pm31 4:11 pm
Sure, Anne. Because each day’s “mission” will come to you via email, you can do it from anywhere, or accumulate the email and do it at your own pace.
February 1, 2010 pm31 9:53 pm
I really want to do this cleanse. I am on the list!
February 3, 2010 pm31 10:03 am
Thanks, Jim.
Are there certain things I need to inquire about at my trip destination? Things I need or should take with me?
Thanks.

Hello
I have 2 questions
I am already 90% on a raw food diet / on the Dr.Ann Wigmore diet, I infrequently drink coffee when driving allot, or rarely taste meat. I miss heated food.
1) Will I benefit from the program and Can I learn how to ensure I am not deriving my body vitamins and minerals?
2)I live overseas – GMT+2 ( 8 hours ahead of EST time) – will I still be able to join?
Thank you!
February 3, 2010 pm31 4:33 pm
No, Anne. This is all done online. You’ll receive daily email and coaching via email and comments posted on this website. No packing or travel required.
February 3, 2010 pm31 4:36 pm
Yes, Eleanor. Time zones won’t matter; that’s why we’re doing this via email and posted comments, instead of conference calls.
Re: the rare cup of coffee: Even if you’re not 100% raw, how much better are you doing today than when you were on the SAD? (Standard American Diet)
Re: vitamins: See the 13 Step Guide to Raw Foods on http://wigmore.com. Those issues are directly addressed in that book.
February 4, 2010 pm31 12:57 am
Thanks – great !
February 4, 2010 pm31 1:19 pm
Ok! Ok! I am ready, so let the healing begin. Peace be!
February 6, 2010 pm31 12:57 pm
You are terrific, thank you so much for looking out for us that might not be able to affort some of the programs out there for $$$.I believe averybody has the right to be healthy if they want to.
If you ever come to Toronto my door will be wide open for you to stay, I hope to be able to repay your kindness.
I look forward to the 21 day detox program.
February 6, 2010 pm31 1:44 pm
I am so excited for this! Thank you for putting it together =)
February 6, 2010 pm31 5:05 pm
Wow! sounds great. I would love to join you. I’ve already started another cleanse and am interested in some fresh ideas and inspiration from Dr.Flora. How amazing…its FREE! Bless you.
February 8, 2010 pm31 7:32 pm
Thank you, Wilhelmina!
February 10, 2010 pm31 4:56 am
I’ve been raw now for 3 months and am loving it & am so ready for a detox!! I do hope we are given plenty of warning on what supplies will be required as I live in a remote setting in Wyoming and do have to grow all of the stuff possible and only get to large supermarkets about once a week. Thanks ahead of time for doing this it is much appreciated. I am a huge fan of Ann Wigmore & appreciate any info you have to share about her & her amazing school of thought.
February 10, 2010 pm31 8:09 pm
Keen to do thi sprog, signed in but Didn’t receive confirmation email, and can’t sign in again!Help!
February 10, 2010 pm31 10:57 pm
You need to verify the email address you used, and then check your bulk and junk mail folders, Zaina. You’re on the sign up list, and the email went somewhere. The program will be delivered to you via daily email.
Also, add editor@rawfriends.com to your email list and that should help ensure delivery.
February 11, 2010 pm31 6:19 am
Is this detox appropriate for my pregnant wife as well?
thanks
February 11, 2010 pm31 8:05 am
Grat job Jim, thank you for this opportunity! I’m in the program but i do have one question.
I still breastfeed my 1y and 8months daughter and I was wondering if I could do that while breastfeeding. I have read different sources that state detox is not recommended while breastfeeding as toxins may get into milk.
Is that true?
February 11, 2010 pm31 2:49 pm
To Cristina and Martin,
The recommendation is for women to go raw and detox BEFORE becoming pregnant. While pregnant, or breastfeeding, a radical change of body chemistry is potentially troublesome.
You CAN, however, eat a lot more fruits, veggies and leafy greens during this period. Google Karen Ranzi – she specializes in raw parenting. I think they still have Karen’s video at http://chiVideos.com, also.
February 12, 2010 pm31 3:16 am
I have type 2 diabetes and take insulin. Can I still participate in this Detox program without ill effect?
February 12, 2010 pm31 10:21 am
I am looking forward to this. Will we need any special supplies? Will there be any information prior to what we need?
Thanks.
Anne
February 12, 2010 pm31 2:43 pm
Consult your doctor about that, Carol. Have you seen this page? http://chidiet.com/
February 12, 2010 pm31 2:43 pm
A blender is about all you’ll need, Anne.
February 14, 2010 pm31 5:53 am
Thank you for doing this program!
I am already about 70% raw but I still prepare one warm vegetarian meal for my other half and our 3 children. I hope this detox will give me the energy -and inspiration- to get our family 100% raw!
Thank you for all the helpful advices,
Much love,
February 14, 2010 pm31 5:20 pm
Aloha Jim,
I have systemic candida, it’s pretty bad. Also I have many other health problems, will this cleanse work for me? Do you have to eat alot of fruit?
I am finding it very difficult to stay away from fruit, do you know how to get rid of candida? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Mahalo for giving us this free cleanse and your support!!
February 18, 2010 pm31 2:05 pm
Hello Jim
I apologise for the delay in reply, I just thought to reply after I have read the book so that I can provide a feedback, however these couple of days I receive your news, email, intensive information, I realise that I am in a network of a group of deligent, compassionate people, it is a previlige to know you and your organisation.
Our family, my husband, daughter and me, has been on raw fruit diet for 5 weeks. Previously we have been vegetarian for 8 years, then transitioned into vegan diet for 2 years, at this summer holiday, we decide to try fruitarian and we feel great.
However, we are new to raw world, We are glad to have your support, we have signed up for 21 days detox program, and we look forward to your advice and guidance.
With God’s Love

Dear Jim,
Thank you for all what you do!
Here, I have a couple of things I want to ask you.
Do I need anything specific to join this program, such as wheatgrass? I live in Japan, and am not sure if I could get everything required.
I also have another concern.
I’ve been suffering from eating disorder for over 20years, and am having poor health including so many hormonal problems.
I’ve been trying to go raw for a couple of months, which makes me feel much better than eating cooked food all the time,
but I also get in to this vicious circle of after a while of eating raw, craving, overeating cooked food especially gulten, carbohydrates, sugary food and then getting into selfguilt, emotional eating….
Will I benifit from this program, or is it better to try something else?
I hope my english made sense.
Thank you!
February 25, 2010 pm31 1:58 pm
Thank you, Miho.
Here’s your shopping list: http://rawlife.org/detox/your-shopping-list-for-this-program.htm
Substitute as required. Locally grown and organic is more important than having the exact items.
The challenges you’re going through we’ll address in the program.
Thank you.
February 26, 2010 pm31 12:27 pm
Hi-
I am trying to register and cannot seem to get it done. I am not receiving the email to confirm. I’ve used two different email accounts and am not receiving anything. What should I do?
Thank you!
February 26, 2010 pm31 1:02 pm
The system is working. Perhaps the confirmation emails ended up in your junk mail folder, Ronette. AOL does not like us so it’s hard to get email from us on their system.
Try adding “editor@rawfriends.com” to your address book and safe list.
February 26, 2010 pm31 1:33 pm
Thank you very much for the detox program.
1. Where can I look for cafeteria trays. Is there
anything I can substitue if I can’t find them?
2. I have to purchase dirt, is there any special type of
dirt I should buy?
I’m excited about the program and look forward to great results.
February 26, 2010 pm31 1:50 pm
Jacqui,
Any shallow tray will work fine for growing sprouts. Flower pots will work well.
Organic potting soil.
February 26, 2010 pm31 5:35 pm
Thank you! I will keep trying!
February 27, 2010 pm31 1:03 am
Thank you so much Jim! Most of the fruits and veggies we can’t get organic/fresh here… but I will try my best to find things organic or locally grown. But is it better to do nothing than to use things pesticied or heated?
Things like avocado, almonds, pinapples, flaxseeds, we dont grow it in Japan and they are usually postharvested with chemicals before getting imported.
March 1, 2010 pm31 3:37 pm

I need to go the program. Tried to sign up and it did not work. Now it says program has started. since the program can be completed at own pace, please advise me on how to register.
