Going It Alone in Oz
-
G’day, Jim
I am from Adelaide in South Australia.I stumbled upon your website the other day, and took advantage of the 10 Ann Wigmore DVDs offer.
I had a look at your clips about energy soup and growing sprouts.
It was great observing you making these in your small kitchen using a blender you got from a junk sale and jars with netting.
I went out and tried the energy soup right away,and it worked really well. I have also started the sprouting. I’ve been feeling unwell for a while, as well as being overweight, so I will give this a good go.
Years ago I read one of Ann Wigmore’s books, but the wheatgrass, rejuvelac, sauerkraut, energy drink and baby green routines looked a bit complicated, and I didn’t try it.
So to see you demonstrating the energy soup and sprouting made me feel I can at least start there.
I don’t think all that many people are into a raw lifestyle here in Oz. Looks like it may be gaining a foothold over there in the U.S.. I also looked at your ‘Myths about Raw Food’, and was astonished by your statement that Lance Armstrong is a raw vegan. If that is the case, it is a huge advertisement for the lifestyle!
Anyway, this is to let you know I enjoyed your clips, and you will be pleased to know you have got at least one Aussie giving it a try!
Regards,

Thanks for the kind words, Peter.
Showing how easy sprouts, etc., are, was my intention with those videos.
It’s my understanding that Lance, like Woody Harrelson was, but isn’t now, a raw vegan. I think this is something many people sway back and forth to, if only because society makes it so challenging.
Here are some resources for you in Aussieland:

Peter is not the only one in Aus. I live in an Australian territory and am having fun losing excess weight, expounding to my friends the wonderful live food taste of raw pureed pumpkin and peaches or bananas for breakfast. Can’t afford the DVD’S, Read Anne’s book some time ago, have done sprouts, wheatgrass, even rejuvelac at times (once it tasted like lemonade, lovely) but can’t get the hang of making saurkraut. One is never alone.
Read into the Bible, plants were made for man’s service, no mention of cooking fires in the first place.

I think there are alot more of us out there than you may think I am in Queensland and have heard of a few raw foodists in my local area, however it is a bit daunting when you dont realy have others to get together with to help each other learn and stick to it, but there is no doubt that it is the only way to go. I almost live on rejuvelac, drinking about 2+ litres every day, feel lost without it, and have green smoothies to start the day and throughout the day, living in a country like Australia especially Queensland, we have no excuse for not going raw.I have been very sink most of my life and finally slowely starting to gain strength and improve, but still a long road ahead. Thank you Dr Anne.
