Matt Monarch - The Interview

 

1. So, Matt, what will your talk on Sept 28th be about? Whether you

are just learning about the health benefits of the raw foods lifestyle

or whether you have been raw for many years, you will learn valuable

information that will empower them in making permanent positive changes

in their health, regardless if you go (or are) 100% raw or not.

 

2. What are the highlights of this talk?

 

At the event at Bastyr University next Friday (9/28), I will discuss

*Three Core Principles* that will give you a deep understanding of the

following:

 

· How to go Raw

 

· How to heal from degenerative diseases

 

· How to be healthy if you don't want to be on an " extreme "

100% Raw Food diet...

 

· and much more!

 

I will be discussing " The Science Behind it All " . Learn what

scientifically takes place on a cellular level. This science will

reveal:

 

· Why degenerative diseases are healed when adhering to a

healthier diet

 

· Why the 100% Raw Food eater becomes very sensitive to cooked

foods and other toxins

 

· Why frequent gas is experienced by those adhering to a

healthier lifestyle

 

· Why the 100% Raw Food eater becomes a more in-tune machine

to the Cosmic Spiritual energy

 

· Why 'yo-yoing' back and forth between a Raw Diet and a

Cooked Diet can be an issue

 

I will also be talking about the difficulties with the following:

 

· Social Issues

 

· Cravings

 

· Emotional & Psychological Issues

 

· Sensitivities and why the cleaner you make your diet, the

more sensitive you become

 

And of course, I will be talking about the benefits. The number one

reason that I stay 100% Raw is for spiritual reasons. When you become

100% Raw, your body becomes a more in-tune receptive machine to

spiritual cosmic forces. I will discuss why this happens and my

profound spiritual experiences.

 

3. What are some of the main misconceptions in the general public about

raw foods? I feel detoxification is the main misconception among Raw

Food eaters and the general public. The 100% Raw Food Diet is like

going on a Life-Long Fast.

 

The reason why fasting is so cleansing is because you are leaving

everything out of your diet. The reason why the 100% Raw Food Diet is so

cleansing is because you are leaving everything out of your diet, except

Raw Foods.

 

Most people assume that all the old waste from previous years of poor

eating leaves their cells within a few short months on a 100% Raw Diet.

 

While it is true that a great amount of toxins are eliminated relatively

quickly, the surprising fact is that you are going to detox old waste

for the rest of your life! In fact, it is only after many decades being

Raw, that you may finally be ready to purge concentrated toxic material

passed on to you from your ancestors. We did not get into our current

state of toxicity and tolerance overnight, and we will not be magically

transported into purity overnight either. There is a direct correlation

between how much one detoxes and how sensitive they are and this will be

discussed.

 

4. When did you become a raw foodist/how long have you been raw?

 

I have been 100% Raw for 8 years now.

 

5. Why did you become a raw foodist?

 

I didn't have any health challenges. I just read the book 'Become

Younger' by Dr. Norman Walker in ONE NIGHT and I went 100% Raw upon

completing that book. This book enlightened me! I thought that I was

already eating healthy! I didn't even know the 100% Raw Food Diet

existed! I thought I discovered something huge! I thought my family

and friends would be amazed and follow my path! Well... Ha ha ha. That

didn't quite happen...

 

6. What were some of the difficulties in transitioning to raw foods?

 

There are many difficulties when trying to become 100% Raw. It is not

an easy task. I didn't realize how difficult the social issues were on

me until one day I started talking about my experience in a talk. A

tear started to fall down my face. We will go deep into the social

issues when adhering to a Raw Diet. Also the cravings that result from

detoxification are very difficult to understand and get over. Have you

ever seen a movie where a heroin addict was sent to the hospital to

detox and he goes MAD?

 

Well, although this is A LOT LESS EXTREME, when you eliminate certain

processed foods from your diet, the withdrawal is similar.

 

7. What are some of the benefits of being a raw foodist?

 

The 100% Raw Food Diet threw me into spirituality. My spiritual

transformation was profound. I was not expecting this to happen. I

will get into detail about my journey and what happens when you go 100%

Raw.

 

Other benefits include:

 

· You actually Become Younger

 

· You become more Beautiful

 

· You glow

 

8. What would you do differently if you were to transition to raw foods

now?

 

It takes years for your body and emotions to settle into the Raw Food

diet. If I were to do it all again, I would take care to enjoy the

adventure much more and be a lot less fanatical about the entire

process.

 

9. What is your diet like now?

 

When you truly become a 100% Raw Food eater, as the years go by, you

will evolve into needing much less food. Since I became 100% Raw, I

have always eaten two solid meals a day, plus consumed a couple of

vegetable juices daily too. My two meals 8 years ago were gigantic

compared to the size of the meals I eat today.

 

10. Where do you see yourself in 5--10 yrs?

 

My Fiancée, Angela Stokes - www.RawReform.com

<http://www.rawreform.com/> - and I are a power-house of Raw Energy and

we have a lot planned in the future. In the near future we will be

doing a lot of touring. We have many ideas rolling around in our heads.

Down the line we plan on having kids someday and settling on land where

we can grow our own produce.

 

11. Where do you see the raw food movement in 5 yrs?

 

Over the last 8 years I have seen the Raw Food Movement grow

tremendously. There is no doubt in my mind that it will continue to

grow exponentially.
