Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Good evening, Has anyone on the RawSeattle list attended CHI personally? I am considering recommending the place to a friend for detox, nutrition, fitness and raw food education. Any recommendation of the 1-wk vs 2-wk class? The location is fairly close from where I now live. Another place that is nearby is Tanglewood in Bethesda, MD. Any experience as to how they compare? Thanks, love and happy Fathers' Day!

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Hi Nick, I've never attended either, but I can tell you that they are based on radically different philosophies. Sick people do get better at CHI but the credit is mistakenly given to the 'healing powers' of certain foods like wheat grass juice and sprouted or fermented foods. I would imagine it's much like any other health retreat in that the visitors are fed 'healthy foods', given lots of opportunities to exercise, sunbathe, etc. Tanglewood, on the other hand, is strictly a fasting clinic. If your friend is sick, fasting is the best and quickest way to get well but it's not always necessary. S/he would most likely get better at either place because s/he'll be removing the cause of his/her disease. Tanglewood is cheaper if that's a consideration, and the principles they teach are simpler and more sustainable, imo. The key is that s/he learn better eating and living habits, which takes a lot longer than a week or two, of course. But if s/he wants a good starting point, Tanglewood gets my vote.
