David Wolfe’s Longevity Conference


When I was invited to promo David Wolfe’s Longevity Conference, at first I didn’t think I was going to do it. I decided to first get access to the program myself, so that Angela and I could view it and decide if we wanted to promote it. I had already heard from several people (including attendees, vendors, and speakers), that this weekend Longevity Conference was very HIGH-CLASS and the best raw event so far this year, and yet I still wasn’t expecting it to be as AMAZING as it turns out to be.

Angela and I have practically watched the ENTIRE program within a week of getting access to it! It is AWESOME! In the very first session on the DVDs, three volunteers agree to give blood samples for a live Barefoot Grounding experiment; what better way to show the benefits of a product! These video playbacks are totally inspirational and ground-breaking from the get-go. If you enjoy David Wolfe’s work, then I think you will LOVE this program. I’ve studied a MASS of David’s work over the years and there was still SO MUCH new, cutting-edge, scientific and dumbfounding information shared in these vidoes, that I’ve not heard him share before.

What is being offered here is footage of the ENTIRE weekend-long Longevity Conference from last March, which includes HOURS and HOURS of intriguing, educational, professionally-shot talks. There are 25 amazing sessions in this package, which keep Angela I smiling and “WOAH”-ing for hours. The speakers include Mike Adams (Natural News), David Wolfe (in many of the sessions), Dr. Joseph Mercola (with his own talk and a Q&A with David Wolfe), Donna Gates, Ian Clark (Oceans Alive Phytoplankton), Mariel Hemingway!, and MANY MORE! Additionally, our dear friend Solla from Iceland, who catered our wedding, shares a delicious food demo. Angela and I were bursting with LOVE watching Solla ROCK THE HOUSE!!!

If you are interested in purchasing this program, you can do so by clicking HERE.

This program also currently comes with a MASS of free bonuses when you order, including David Wolfe’s Joint Program, a new Frank Giglio downloadable recipe book and much more. If you receive Angela’s Newsletter, you will see her promoting this program right now as well, because she LOVES it too. Every single night I see her watching more and more of the conference sessions while doing the dishes, making crackers or tidying up.

I am asked to promo countless products and I don’t promote things like this very often. However, I feel that this conference playback is so entertaining and educational to watch with family, friends or even by yourself, that I felt compelled to offer it here.

Interested in Moving to Vilcabamba, Ecuador?

As many of you already know, Angela and I are choosing Vilcabamba, Ecuador as our permanent residence. We’ve looked around the Vilcabamba valley and we feel that we are living in the most prime and beautiful location here. There are currently eight or so owners in the community where we live, who either eat totally raw or are on a healthy lifestyle path. Additionally, as one result of the growing raw foods community here, some of our other neighbors seem to also be more interested in the raw foods lifestyle.

Angela and I are in the process of co-creating a project to help bring even more like-minded individuals to our community here (the Hacienda San Joaquin Ranch). In addition to the property where we live, we currently also have a beautiful 2.5 acre piece of land bordering the Vilcabamba river. This land is just feet away from the property where we live. We intend to build three structures on this river-side land – dwelling places for three or more like-minded families who would love to coexist together, alongside us :-) . We don’t plan on making a single dime of profit on this project; the primary intention is to bring in more like-minded people.

The three structures that we plan on building are:

1. 750 Square Feet House (2 Bedroom, 1 Bath)

2. 750 Square Feet House (2 Bedroom, 1 Bath)

3. 1500 Square Feet House (3 Bedroom, 2 Bath)

Each house will have its own kitchen and living area. Below are the current estimated prices for each structure, which also includes the land they will reside on. If more than one family wants to live in one of these homes, the cost could obviously be split amongst those involved. We are even willing to do payment plans to get you down here :-) Additionally, we’ll do all that we can to assist you with getting settled here :-)

1. 750 Square Feet House (2 Bedroom, 1 Bath)
$81,250 or $40,625 each, shared between two

2. 750 Square Feet House (2 Bedroom, 1 Bath)
$81,250 or $40,625 each, shared between two

3. 1500 Square Feet House (3 Bedroom, 2 Bath)
$162,500 or $54,200 each, shared between three

Those who purchase these structures will own the houses and the shared land, free and clear in their names. We intend to start building these structures within the next few months. We wanted to announce this project now, because if anyone is seriously interested in getting involved, we can work with you to transform the plans and better fit your needs. For example, if a like-minded family is interested in the entire land to build their own structure(s) on it, we would be completely happy with that, or if two families know they would love to share the space, yet in a different way than what we have foreseen, we can work with that too. Again, the primary purpose of this project is to help bring in more like-minded people to our community and we are open to how that may unfold. Check out the video below as we discuss this plan and opportunity on this piece of land.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHfK34ojdbc

Once this project is complete and the land in question is home to like-minded people, we may be open to buying up more nearby land here, to co-create more kins’ domains. The purpose of buying up more land would again be to help bring even more like-minded people to join us :-)

If you are sincerely interested in getting involved in this project, please contact Angela and I at angela@rawreform.com.

We feel that this is THE most ideal place for us to live on the ENTIRE planet! Once you have your land/structure/gardens in place here, you are pretty much set for life! The cost of living and food prices are extremely inexpensive here. For example, one HUGE avocado costs .30 cents. A GIGANTIC mango costs .20 cents. An entire 3-foot LARGE bushel of chlorophyll-rich alfalfa costs about .40 cents. Practically everything grows here and the climate is like spring all year round. Angela and I have been here for three months and we’re already completely self-sufficient in greens from our land and garden. You can seriously just live off the wild edibles here, in green juices and smoothies. The air, soil and water quality here in the Andes are unparalleled and just by living here you will most likely add 10 years to your lifespan, release excess weight, reverse conditions of disease, sleep better and detox. We look foward to playing in “paradise” with you if you’d love to join us here…!

I FORGOT TO MENTION! – Hurom Juicer & Blendtec Blender SALE

Since we put out that special offer for the Huroms and Blendtec Blenders last week, many people have taken advantage of these deals! However, I forgot to mention that the coupon codes for these specials are also programmed to provide you with a 12% – 15% discount not only on the Hurom or Blendtec, but anything else that you order alongside those appliances. For example, if you buy a Hurom and a Blendtec and you use the coupon code ‘HuromBlendtec’, you will get $127 off these appliances plus 15% off the rest of your order. If you missed the Hurom and Blendtec offers in our last Newsletter, they are here below again and will be offered for FIVE more days only:


Since we put the Hurom Juicer up for sale last year, I’ve literally had HUNDREDS of requests to do a sale like that again. When we offered the Blendtec Blender coupon in January, there was another SLEW of people asking us to offer a similar discount with the Hurom Juicer. The reason why we haven’t offered the Hurom Juicer at a discount again so far is because during the last six months there was a supply shortage on the Huroms. The Hurom Company was barely just keeping up with supplying us juicers for our regular orders.

Well… I just got hold of over 400 Hurom Juicers, NEWEST model, and we are going to FINALLY offer them to you again at a discounted rate! Additionally, I am going to discount my favorite blender at the same time… The Blendtec Blender… Just so everyone gets their FINAL opportunity to get in on these specials, which finish on May 31st. We almost certainly won’t be offering these specials again this year, so NOW is the time to take advantage of these offers if you’re interested!

Here are the current specials:

  • Get $43 off the Hurom Juicer if you use the coupon code ‘Hurom43′
  • Get $52 – $63 off all Blendtec models if you use the coupon code ‘Blendtec52′
  • Get $54 off the Hurom Juicer and $60 – $73 off all Blendtec models if you buy a Hurom AND a Blendtec Blender TOGETHER, and you use the coupon code ‘HuromBlendtec’Personally, I feel that it is KEY if you purchase a Blendtec Blender, to MAKE SURE that you purchase one of the models with the larger 3qt (96oz) Carafe.

    There are three Blendtec models:

  • Blendtec with a 2qt (64oz) Carafe $399.95
  • Blendtec with a 3qt (96oz) Carafe $429
  • Blendtec with a 2qt & 3qt Carafe $489.95
    I almost didn’t even offer the $399.95 model here, because I feel and know how beneficial the larger 3qt carafe is. The larger carafe oxidizes the contents less and works much better, in my opinion, than any Vitamix on the market, or the Blendtec 2qt carafe. If you want to see evidence of this, you can check out the write-up and videos I created on this subject by clicking HERE. In the video at that link, you can see a comparison of machines, which shows the food contents oxidizing less in the 3qt carafe compared to the Blendtec 2qt carafe or the Vitamix. I personally bought the Blendtec with the 2qt & 3qt carafes, because I like to have an extra carafe available for various uses and it’s the least expensive way to get an extra carafe too.

    This is probably the BEST deal that you will ever find on the Hurom Juicer and Blendtec Blenders. Before the Hurom Juicer became available, you could either get a quick juicing and easy-to-clean juicer such as the Breville Juice Fountain, or you could get a slower and harder to clean juicer, which produces juice with a much higher nutrient quality, such as the Green Star juicer. The Hurom Juicer is a REVOLUTIONARY juicer, which combines all of the benefits of HIGH nutrient quality, quick juicing, and easy cleaning.

    I feel these are the TOP TWO appliances that are a MUST HAVE in my raw food kitchen. If I had to choose a third and fourth top appliance, it would be a food processor and a Green Star juicer. I am pretty hardcore with juicing my greens and the Green Star juicer can handle even the greens with extreme FIBROUS stems, such as nettles and mature alfalfa, which often ranges from 1-3 feet long. Even the Green Star jams sometimes when juicing these kinds of fibrous greens. When we lived in the USA, we didn’t have access to alfalfa and nettles like the kind we have here, so it wasn’t an issue for us to use the Hurom for all our juicing. We actually did a video back there, comparing the Green Star and the Hurom Juicer, which can be seen by clicking HERE.

    Additionally, here are two more videos we did about the Hurom:

    Does the Hurom Juicer do Wheatgrass & Banana Ice Cream?

    New Products at The Raw Food World

    Angstrom Minerals in Glass Jar


    We’ve been carrying Angstrom Minerals for quite sometime now, however, we have now accessed what we feel to be the best Angstrom Mineral products available… Mother Earth Minerals. I am really excited by the fact that these angstrom minerals come in blue glass jars. I like to take the Zinc Angstrom Mineral and I feel SO MUCH BETTER NOW knowing that this is cased in glass, avoiding plastic-leaching. We have about 20 different Angstrom Minerals from Mother Earth Minerals, including Gold, Zinc, Silver, Iron, Magnesium, Iodine, Indium, Calcium, Chromium and much more.

    Curry ‘Kraut Chia Crackers!

    Zack LOVES these Curry ‘Kraut Chia Crackers LIKE NO OTHER!!! He just brought these crackers into the store, from Aimee’s Livin’ Magic. Little does Zack know, Angela and I have had these crackers before too… And… Angela is also ESPECIALLY CRAZY for this product. I love these crackers too – I believe this has something to do with using Saurkraut in flax crackers. If you haven’t ever had a “kraut cracker” before, this may very well turn out to be one of your favorite raw food crackers on the market too. Additionally, Aimee uses the Floral Essence Curry Spice Blend in this product, which we just added to our website last week and is made by her son-in-law, Frank Giglio!

    Barbeque Zucchini Chips


    Now these Barbeque Zucchini Chips from Aimee’s Livin’ Magic are something that Angela and I haven’t tried yet. However, Zack told me that these things are CRAAAZY-good too. They take him back to his Cooked BBQ Kettle Chip days, but made with zucchini instead! Zack’s REALLY EXCITED about these, to say the least, and we can’t wait to try them too, when we get back to the states in August.

    Ingredients: Zucchini, olive oil, cider vinegar, Italian seasoning, garlic, cayenne, chipotle, himalayan salt.

    New Tribest Personal Blenders w/BPA-Free Containers

    We just got these NEW Personal Blenders by Tribest. We’ve sold this style of blender for a while now, and they just came out with a new version with a BPA-Free Container, instead of polycarbonate. This is one of the appliances that I LOVE to have in a raw food kitchen. It is IDEAL for grinding down flax and other seeds/nuts. You can of curse use a high-speed blender to grind too, yet for optimal grinding with those machines, it’s necessary to use a bigger quantity of nuts or seeds. With these little ‘personal’ blenders, you can easily grind small quantites of nuts or seeds.

    Harmony Yoga Mats


    Over the years we’ve received quite a number of requests to carry Yoga Mats. Therefore, we have finally sourced some of the best yoga mats available, from Harmony! Open cell natural rubber gives Harmony mats unequalled non-slip performance, with superior cushioning and resilience. Made in the USA, these mats have exceptional strength and durability; they won?t tear or buckle. Harmony mats are made with natural rubber, a renewable resource tapped from rubber trees and contain no ozone-depleting substances; perfect for yoga practitioners concerned about the environment.

    Here are all the latest new additions to The Raw Food World Store:

  • Curry ‘Kraut Chia Crackers!
  • Barbeque Zucchini Chips
  • New Tribest Personal Blenders w/BPA Free Containers
  • Harmony Yoga Mat – Purple
  • Harmony Yoga Mat – Olive Green

    I haven’t been this excited about a book in quite some time! This book discusses all of the benefits of being GROUNDED to the Earth!

    “The solution for chronic inflammation, regarded as the cause of most common modern diseases, has been identified! And it is not blueberries. It is something right beneath our feet – the Earth itself! Throughout most of evolution, humans walked barefoot and slept on the ground, largely oblivious that the surface of the Earth contains limitless healing energy.

    Science has discovered this energy as free-flowing electrons constantly replenished by solar radiation and lightning. Few people know it, but the ground provides a subtle electric signal that maintains health and governs the intricate mechanisms that make our bodies work – just like plugging a lamp into a power socket makes it light up. Modern lifestyles, including the widespread use of insulative rubber or plastic-soled shoes, have disconnected us from this energy and, of course, most of us no longer sleep on the ground as we did in times past. Earthing introduces the planet’s powerful, amazing, and overlooked natural healing energy and how people anywhere can readily connect to it. This eye-opening book describes how the physical disconnect with the Earth creates abnormal physiology and contributes to inflammation, pain, fatigue, stress, and poor sleep. By reconnecting to the Earth, symptoms are rapidly relieved and even eliminated and recovery from surgery, injury, and athletic overexertion is accelerated. This never-before-told story, filled with fascinating research and real-life testimonials, chronicles a discovery with the potential to create a global health revolution.”

    AAAAAAAAND… Many More New Products COMING SOON!!!

    ‘At-Cost’ Specials

    It’s May everyone and we’ve got an entire SLEW of AWESOME products ‘At-Cost’ this month!!!


    I feel like I’ve been trying FOREVER to get these INCREDIBLE, soft, wet, and chewy Turkish Figs ‘At-Cost’ and I hadn’t been able to get a good price from our supplier on them until now. We just had 1500 pounds of these figs shipped to us in a cold truck to help preserve their freshness. I sense that this NEW CROP of amazing fresh Turkish Figs WILL sell out this month, so I suggest stocking up now! These dried figs are an all-time personal FAVORITE of mine. I like to soak 6 – 8 of them in water overnight and blend them with hemp seeds! WOW!


    We are also offering the clear agave At-Cost this month!!! This particular clear agave is the purest form of agave nectar on the market that we know of… AND… it tastes AWESOME! There is a GREAT chance that you will feel the difference when you consume this clear agave compared to other agaves on the market. We are offering both the 500ml (16.9oz) and one gallon sizes of Clear Agave ‘At-Cost’ this month.

    It’s time to throw out your toxic laundry detergents and replace them with ALL NATURAL Soap Nuts, which literally grow from trees and are available ‘At-Cost’ this month. This is the ideal time to make this transition, since we are offering Maggie’s Pure Land Soap Nuts at such a LOW COST. This is another product that you will want to stock up on, so that the savings last you for a long time. Furthermore, we are offering the soap nuts in liquid form too, in all sizes.


    We are offering so many INCREDIBLE products ‘At-Cost’ this month! This month I also got a really good deal on the Highest Quality Brazil Nuts, Almond Flour and the Dried Pomegranate Seeds :-) . I am really excited to share with you the Truly Raw Almond Flour. To make the almond flour, first they soak the almonds in cold water. They take off the skins with a special mechanism that does not heat the almonds, then they re-dry them at less than 105 F, and finally they grind them down into almond flour! :-) The Dried Pomegranate Seeds are an amazing CRUNCHY sweet, vibrant snack to munch on! You’ll LOVE them!


    LAST but not LEAST, we are offering our DVD at more than Half-Off, if you utilize the ‘HONEYMOON’ coupon code. If you haven’t seen Angela and I do our talks before, this is the ideal opportunity to check them out in this DVD. It can be a valuable DVD to show your family and friends, to help explain what this ‘Raw Food’ thing is all about. I explain how to do the Raw Food Diet or a healthy whole food Intermediate Diet and Angela is a real-life example of a HUGE TRANSFORMATION SUCCESS with this type of lifestyle.

    Raw Food Transformations DVD w/Matt Monarch & Angela Stokes-Monarch


    We are offering our DVD at 50% OFF this month, for $12.95. Every last part of what I feel are my MOST IMPORTANT teachings is in this Raw Transformations DVD. I go into a STEP BY STEP process of how to succeed on either an Intermediate Whole Food Diet or a 100% Raw Food Diet. I feel that the information on this DVD is CRUCIAL and it has everything that you need to know for improving your health… AND!… it’s also FUN! You won’t have to even read a single sentence…just sit back and enjoy.

    Additionally, Angela POURS her heart out through this DVD. She shares her journey of releasing 160lbs – more than half her body weight! – as she transitioned to a 100% Raw Food Diet. These are the foundational talks that we share when we go on tour around the world discussing the 100% Raw Food Diet. If you haven’t been able to make it to one of our talks in person, then this DVD is for you!

    I feel that I have always had a knack for helping people to understand LOGICALLY how and why to eat more healthily and I always explain in my talks that you don’t need to be ‘extreme’ with a 100% Raw Food Diet to improve your health. I feel this is an IDEAL DVD to share with (possibly skeptical) loved ones and children too.
