Hi Mike,

 

Thanks for writing and asking these questions. I've been at this in various

forms for about 7 1/2 years. And I've encountered many things along the way,

as I imagine most of us have.

 

In 1998, Laurie Masters and I formed the South Bay Living Food Community, in

the San Jose/San Francisco. For a time we were probably the most active RF

group in the country. In 1999 we organized a Living Food Expo, attended by

approximately 1000 people. We invited many, many of the well-known and less

well-known authors, speakers, etc. on many topics. Doug, Gabriel, David,

etc. I've hosted them all, several on more than one occasion. So I am at

least somewhat familiar with what they teach, and also with how they operate

their respective businesses.

 

Doug and Dave Klein both practice hygiene, but there are some distinct

differences in their approaches. I eat more closely as Doug does, I believe,

quite similarly in many respects. But again, there are differences, if for

no other reason that that he has been at it much longer and is farther along

than I in certain respects. I eat no supplements of any kind.

 

I would like to share a thought. I do not claim this is " true, " but I often

find it useful.

 

Henry Ford once said, " Whether you believe you can, or you believe you

can't, you're right! "

 

Our minds play a much more significant part in our well-being than we often

take time to acknowledge, probably more significant than even our diet. In

quantum physics this phenomenon is sometimes called the " observer effect. "

Basically, the idea is that the researcher can never truly separate himself

from his own experiment. Our own beliefs an perceptions directly influence

and shape our experience, which is our " reality " or our " truth. "

 

For example, if I believe, on a subconscious level, that I am healthy

without supplements, then my system will seek and create solutions to make

that so. And if someone else believes differently, then that person's mind

my manifest solutions that make his/her beliefs " so. " So we can both be

right at the same time.

 

 

If you would like me to share more, please let me know! Best to all,

Elchanan
