Craig Sommers

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 North America giving lectures on how to achieve optimum health and nutrition. He is also a certified nutritionist and the author of “The Raw Foods Bible,” a comprehensive easy to read guide to the optimum diet and lifestyle.

Ronnie and Minh
Ronnie & Minh are husband and wife raw foodists who produce some of the most interesting and “unbelievably tasty raw and living foods you may ever encounter”.
Minh is a second generation raw & living food chef, she was born in Viet Nam in 1950 into a humble and loving Buddhist family, she is the youngest of eight children. At a very young age Minh began learning which plants were edible and which were not, how to find food and medicines in the jungle and how to use them. She spent her youth helping her mother grow, gather and prepare food for their family. They used simple and ancient techniques without electricity to prepare nourishing and great tasting food. In this way the art of preparing raw food was passed from generation to generation without even knowing what “raw food” was, to them it was just food. In 1963 one of Minhs’ brothers was kidnapped by the North Vietnamese Army, her mother was devastated and sought guidance through prayer and from Buddhist Monks. Minhs mother was already a vegetarian but she received a revelation that if she gave up cooking and ate only uncooked vegetarian food her son would return to her, she did so and a year and a half later her son retuned to her unharmed. Minhs mother continued to eat only raw food until she died in 2005 at the age of 93.
Ronnie is an Essene Philosopher who spends his time and energy promoting Raw & Living Foods
and the teachings of the Essenes.
The food that Ronnie & Minh produce is amazing in its simplicity and fantastic taste.
