Craig Sommers was living the standard American lifestyle, eating the
standard American diet (SAD), until the early 1990's when his mother was
diagnosed with cancer and then heart disease. While visiting his mother
in the hospital, after one in a series of unsuccessful surgeries, a
mysterious stranger entered her hospital room. He handed Mrs. Sommers
his business card and suggested that she give him a call if she was
interested in learning how to heal herself through diet and lifestyle
changes. Neither Craig nor his mother ever heard from that man again,
but Craig was so inspired by his suggestion that he began to seek out
information on Natural Healing.
Since that day in the hospital, Dr. Sommers has single mindedly pursued
knowledge of holistic healing, nutrition, and lifestyle. He first
learned enough to help his mother reverse heart disease and then began
to peruse natural health for himself and others. He opened a health food
store on Long Island and when that became too stressful, he sold the
store and pursued a doctorate in naturopathy.
Dr. Sommers now travels the globe giving lectures on how to achieve
optimum health through
proper nutrition and lifestyle habits. He is also a certified yoga
instructor, certified nutritionist
and the author of Raw Foods Bible, a comprehensive easy to read guide
to the optimum diet and
lifestyle. Craig's website is www.rawfoodsbible.com

TESTIMONIALS "After reading Raw Foods Bible , I immediately connected the dots as to what had
caused my binge eating and bulimia for several years. The recipes in
Craig's book helped me begin a new life and prompted me to write my own
book called Rawlicous Recipes . My book is for anyone that has struggled with emotional eating." "Thank you so much for the amazing month I spent at your home. I arrived
weighing 265 pounds and a meat eater and left weighing 223 and now a
vegetarian!! I have been a home builder for 22 years and my body has the
scars and aches to prove it, I am 37 but my body felt around 57, I feel
like I gained 10 years of youth back, I have tons of energy again and my
mind is sharp and clear, the aches are almost non existent, I feel happy
again!!!!!! The foods I ate there were some of the best flavors I have
ever had and not once did I crave meat like I used to. I will be
continuing this lifestyle for the rest of my days. Thank you so much
again and I wish you well!!""Just wanted to say how brilliant I thought your book is, have been meaning
to write this email for about a year and a half. Having been at H.H.I. in W. Palm
Beach for 3 weeks and T.O.L. AZ for 2 weeks, and read an extensive selection
of books on raw food health etc by authors B. Clement, G. Cousins, and D. Wolfe
etc, your book is the one I favour and keep returning to, simply because it
has the vital information in it and gets to the point. Such a pleasure
to read its almost as though the book has a mystical karma. Strangely when
people ask me about my favorite book I tell them with respect about yourself
describing you as the ultimate raw vegan with a diesel which
runs on Veg oil. I bought Raw Foods Bible from you
in Miami Florida about 3 years ago and brought it all
the way back to Ireland."
Features
"Craig's Raw Food Bible is a heart-filled, conscious contribution
addressing the most important foods and physical health providers on
earth." -- Brian Clement, Director of the Hippocrates Health Institute
An ever-increasing number of people in the United States and abroad
refer to themselves as Raw or Living Foodists. In the pages of the Raw Foods Bible, I
share scientific documentation gathered from such sources as medical
dictionaries, books authored by physicians, researchers, mystics, the
Archives of the Vatican, and even the Old Testament. My work is dedicated to the evolution of Humankind. . .
