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 arthritis 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 will start soon, perhaps July 15th, 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

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 trouper, if you’re doing this on dialup. The detox program will be all email based, with no video, so you’ll do fine.
January 30, 2010 pm31 12:41 pm
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 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.
Anne

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 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

March 4, 2010 pm31 12:12 am
Hi Jim,
I was away sick and just got to my emails, is there any way that I can hop in on this session? I’m battling 2 large kidney stones and need this class for a jump-start in getting well…thanks for considering it.
Stacy
March 4, 2010 pm31 12:12 am
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.
March 4, 2010 pm31 12:20 am
Sorry, Elaine, but registration closed. You can complete the program at your own pace by visiting http://rawlife.org/detox/ as you go. Everything in the daily emails is posted there a few hours before the email goes out.
March 5, 2010 pm31 9:10 am
I just learned about this program and am looking so forward to doing it through your guidance.
I am disappointed that I missed the start date.
Will there be another session soon?
Will you be able to let me know when that will be?
Thank you!
March 8, 2010 pm31 9:46 am
Dr. Flora & Dr. Jim,
Thank you for your time and generosity in posting Ann Wigmore’s detox program!
Love and Gratitude,
Cynthia Dell
March 8, 2010 pm31 8:45 pm
Thank YOU, Cynthia!
March 16, 2010 pm31 4:49 am
I don’t know when the next one will be, Sheryn, but I’ll put you on the mailing list.
March 22, 2010 pm31 9:55 pm
Stacy I’ve had 33 myself and it’s awful. I learned something that will help at Murrieta Hot Springs in California in the 80s: It’s called the Vitality Drink and it will dissolve your stones slowly. There are other techniques to do them overnight. You cana read about them in Dr. Hulda Clark’s book, “The Cure for All Diseases”.
Take the juice of 1/2 lemon (fresh), 1 pink grapefruit, 1″ of ginger, 1 clove of garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil (to coat your intestinal lining so the citrus won’t make it bleed). Blend it all and chugalug (bolt it down fast) each morning on an empty stomach, and don’t eat again for an hour. You will feel relief as it dissolves the stones slowly. This 21 Day Detox will dissolve them also, but more slowly.
March 22, 2010 pm31 10:01 pm
Miho, were you able to find green weeds and green young plants and things in Japan that are local? We want you to use your local things as much as possible. You dont need to export anything. What kinds of fruits and greens do you have there that are not bitter? You have persimmons, right? You have pears. You have seaweeds access? 26-43 ounces of greens packed a day minimum, a tablespoon of flax seed soaked, and some pears. I have been to Japan in 1979 and I had a wonderful time. Write to me at drflora@rawdoctors.com and let me know how you are.
April 17, 2010 pm31 6:41 pm
Wilhelmina, that’s the whole thrust of this first every do-it-yourself program based on the pure Dr. Ann Wigmore Living Food protocol. There are many programs out there that use the Wigmore name, but this is the only one on-line that follows the real way she was teaching and living the last 2 years of her life, when she was at her peak (84 years old!) of genius.
We both felt that good health is your birthright. No one should be charged a dime to learn how to heal themselves. The greatest teachers, leaders, gurus, masters, of our times, have not accepted payment in any form. The only reasons Dr. Ann had to charge was to keep the institutes in Boston and down in Puerto Rico at the proper healing temperatures (85 F) and supply the best organic foods possible to help the body heal itself.
Jim: Dr. Wigmore taught that there were two reasons people got sick: toxemia and deficiency.
April 17, 2010 pm31 6:56 pm
Do I need anything specific to join this program, such as wheatgrass?
Miho, you will be able to grow wheatgrass anywhere, even Japan, in the middle of your apartment. No land needed. Just some cafeteria trays with an inch of dirt. A pound of organic winter red wheat can be sent to you from many places in the world. Please check the internet for the least expensive shipper.
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,
Dr. F: Of course, because of the chi in the live foods.
I’ve been in Japan myself, and so many delicious smells waft towards one while walking or cycling that unless you have at least 3 weeks under your belt and a stomach full of Energy Soup or are snacking on some soaked almonds, or dehydrated sprouted rice crackers, you will crave.
Sugar cravings are a sign that you are long-time protein deficient, which is easy to be when you have been eating a lot of rice, which is a habit, and also an addiction, if you are traditionally drinking sweetened tea after eating the rice, because that makes alcohol in your brain and you become intoxicated and thereafter run after the adrenalin rush.
selfguilt Never beat yourself up. You learn what triggers your cravings and then after 3 weeks or so, they will be gone. I don’t drive past McDonalds ever if I can help it, because the beef tallow they fry the potatoes in makes our stomach acids pour into our stomachs and we think that we are hungry because we have pains!
emotional eating: All eating up to this time has been emotional eating! Now you will learn how to eat for nourishment. There’s nothing wrong with emotional eating, but you will learn to eat foods that will make you feel better, not dependent!
Will I benifit from this program, or is it better to try something else?
You will benefit like nothing before, but you have to do it 100%.
I hope my English made sense.
You write beautiful English. Have no doubt. Japanese are very brilliant people. I had a dear friend in Guam in 1946 who was Japanese. His name was Nagaji Sakata. He taught me how to paint. I was very young and used to stand at his elbow watching him carefully. He was a great great artist.
