Kevin Gianni
Kevin: Hi everyone, this is Kevin Gianni, Optimal Health Expert, and I'd like to welcome you to another very special Raw Summit Teleseminar, which can be found online at www.RawSummitArchives.com. The purpose of the Raw Summit is to pass along cutting edge information about raw and living food technologies for you to reach optimal health wellness and success. Today I have a special guest to Raw Summit on the line. He is an author, speaker, an incredible provider and publisher of health and wellness information. If you've heard news in the health industry, chances are he is the one who brought it to your attention through his NewsTarget site. So I'd to welcome Mike Adams: The Health Ranger to the Raw Summit. Hey Mike, how are you doing? Mike: Hey, I'm good Kevin. Thanks for having me on as a guest today. It's a pleasure to be here. Kevin: Yes. I'm extremely excited about this call, as I am with all of them, because it is just incredible information, but I want to start off by just have you talked about a little bit why you're called The Health Ranger? What started all this? Mike: Sure, like a lot of people at one point in my life I found myself in a serious health crisis. This was a few years ago when I was about 30, and I was nearly obese, diabetic, depressed, suffering from chronic back pain, I had a terrible diet and I got in this shape by listening to my doctors. Kevin: Okay. Mike: I was following medical advice and life was terrible. I mean I was only 30. At some point, I woke up and realized that if I was going to get healthy, I was going to have to teach myself something different from the information that I was being given. So I dove into reading about nutrition and I discovered for the first time for me about the healing nutrients found in everyday foods, and super foods, and medicinal herbs, and all kinds of different modalities of herbs and alternative medicine. I began to apply this information and it wasn't long before things started to turn around and after just 6 months, I dropped 50 pounds of body fat. Kevin: Wow! Mike: I became extremely fit. I started taking up gymnastics and capoeta in my 30's, and my... I was able to start taking up speed reading of books and able to really absorb information very quickly and that led to the NewsTarget.com publishing where I now put out articles everyday and reach over half a million readers with information about health transformation. That's the short version of the story. Kevin: Sure. Now, as you were listening to your doctors, I mean obviously you've realized that something wasn't right. Who were some of the people that you turned to that you started to learn from that were influential in your transition? Mike: Well, at the very beginning I was picking up books off the shelf of everyday bookstores, so I was reading books by guys like Michael T. Murray who was an author and graduate of Bastyr University and Joseph Pizzorno who was one of the co-founders. That was just the beginning. As I began to sort of peel away the layers of medicinal wisdom I began to get into more "radical" thinkers or radical teachers. I've learned from people like Dr. Gabriel Cousens, I got into raw foods, I got into medicine from different regions of the world. I traveled to South America. I interviewed people there and learned about their system of medicine. I began studying Chinese medicine, Tibetan medicine, and Ayurvedic medicine. Just began to realize how you can assemble this wisdom from this knowledge base around the world that is largely ignored in the United States today. Kevin: Sure. Mike: We have an information gap in this country and thank goodness, people like you are doing what you're doing to help fill that gap, because we're in a desperate situation in this country. I really want to share with people, I hope we get a chance to do that here in the next hour, some of the solutions that are censored in this country, things that people are not allowed to know that are essential to preventing disease and leading a healthful vibrant life. I hope we get a chance to do some of that. Kevin: Absolutely. You talked about South America and you talked about traveling around there, and a lot of the raw and living food teachers have spent time there. Tell us a little about your travels there and what you discovered. Mike: Well, my most recent trip was to Ecuador and I went there to research how people engage in such long-lived lives and I interviewed people there who are in their 80's and 90's who were very healthy, and they still exercise, they still walk 2 hours a day, they don't have any degenerative disease, they never take pharmaceuticals, they never put sunscreen on their skin, okay, one of the things that we're taught to do in this country which is completely wrong. Sunscreen products mostly cause cancer. They don't actually prevent it and I can share with you a much better way to prevent skin cancer using nutrition, but there are so many things that they engage in down there just without even thinking about it. For example, if they have a problem with their teeth, they pull the leaves off of a tree called the Tika tree and they chew on these leaves. They don't use special medicines for gum disease they just chew on these leaves and the tooth pain goes away, the tooth enamel is very strong, and they don't have cavities because they're not eating these processed foods. They just take care of their health by turning to nature and living very close to the land. And another interesting that I found in Ecuador is that you can tell the truth about your product there. If you make a dietary supplement, let's say for example Uno de Gato, also called Cat's Claw, one of my favorite medicinal herbs from the rainforest, but if you make a Cat's Claw supplement and you put it on the market, you can put right on the bottle this is good for cancer, inflammation, Alzheimer's or whatever the conditions are that this herb treats. Now, in the United States that would be illegal. The FDA would march in and confiscate your product in the United States if you told the truth about what it can do. This is how the FDA keeps the U.S public in a state of designed or planned ignorance. It keeps people dissociated from the true healing potential of these herbs. In South America, that idea would be insane. Everybody knows Cat's Claw helps prevent cancer, it's common knowledge. These kinds of things, for example if you buy a pack of cigarettes in Ecuador, that pack says in very bold typed right on the front says, "Fumar causa cancer." Right? Smoking causes cancer. In the United States, it's all watered down because it's been influenced by big tobacco so it says...well the surgeon general has determined that smoking cigarettes may possibly somehow, someday, in some ways slightly increase your risk of some kind of carcinoma. You know what I'm saying? Kevin: Yes. Mike: It's like... in South America you get the truth, man. In America, you get some watered down BS version of what's good for you or what's not good for you. It's refreshing to visit South America and see how other people live in relationship to herbs and medicine.
